Tonight Fred Barnes was talking about the fact that Democrats have a good chance of winning both the White House and the Congress. Maybe so, but it seems to me that if they were that sure of their coming success, so many of them including Obama would not feel the need to go to the center.

“My sense of the reason the Dems keep caving is Bush has made it clear he would make public sufficient detail on the threats STOPPED by this program if they dragged their feet too long.”

That right there says a LOT. Many other politicians would have made those successes public when their public support numbers started to drop. President Bush doesn’t have a narcissistic bone in his body, apparently. He could try to pump up his support numbers by revealing our successes, but it better serves the security of our nation that those successes remain secret so they might be repeated in the future.

Not a single Al Qaida terrorist attack in the US since 9/11 after they promised there would be a “rain of destruction” following 9/11.

There is no way I could ever bring myself to vote for a Democrat this election.

I watched the stream on CSPAN.

After cloture only RockHead offered a couple of minutes debate and all others sat on their hands and said lets vote.

Specter was the only R to vote for the amendments and he voted no on the Dodd amendment and yes on the other two.

The big one is Obama voted yes on the bill and Hillary voted no.

Lot of pre Denver warm up going on there.

When George Bush was governor of Texas, he had a reputation as a deal maker, of someone who had a way of getting things done even when the state legislature was composed mainly of the opposition party.

Here we see another example. With wide bi-partisan support, support that goes directly counter to the rhetoric of the other party, we have a bill passed by both houses of Congress that benefits all Americans.

Mr. Bush is still getting things done and with the support of people of both parties.
