Bush Unlikely to Keep All Promises

Why are we surprised. He never kept all of them the first time around. But hey it's hard work.

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) has a long list of promises to keep, and even with an expanded Republican majority in Congress, it's unlikely he can have them all.

His platform is ambitious: Remake the tax code, overhaul Social Security, stabilize the mess in Iraq (news - web sites). None will be easy.

but it is okay cuz he is a swell fella, christian and all...:puke:

with God's help, he'll make it.

part? Risk alienating the MAJORITY of voters who crowned Shrub? WTF


But Senate Democrats will have to decide how to use the limited power they have. Their liberal base will want them to fight a slew of GOP proposals, but doing so could risk alienating the majority of voters who re-elected Bush.

Republicans know that, said Norman Ornstein, an expert on Congress at the American Enterprise Institute. His expectation:

"I'm sure what they're going to do is say to the Democrats, `Look, here's our idea of bipartisanship. We present the programs and you vote for them. And if you don't, we'll use the presidential bully pulpit and our megaphones and ... we'll portray you as the villains. You will suffer the fate of Tom Daschle.'" Daschle is the Democratic leader defeated this week in South Dakota.

I surely hope that these democrats will not heed that ridiculous warning. We NEED them to stop their retarded bills.

forever war second, then moral values fi there's time. :puke:

unfortunately

The fundies are already at the door knocking and nobody's going to answer.

:eyes:

he is "unable to keep promises"

Shouldn't that be.. any promises?

dubya will get a phone call from John Howard in Australia, and will start using little technique that Honest John has been using for years.

When it's a promise you can keep, it's called a CORE promise.
Promises you don't keep are called NON-CORE promises.

Simple as pie.

Where is Obvious Man when you need him to say "DUH"?

* unlikely to do anything unless it is guaranteed to break the backs and bank accounts of lowly Americans (read 'everyone but his base') while piling the money into the accounts of his friends, BIG BUSINESS. Oh, and the Saudi Royal Family. :puke:
