What don't you guys get? Bush gave the "uniter not a divider" the old college try by giving the Dems almost everything they wanted spending wise. Hell, he let Ted Kennedy write the education bill! He thought it would be like back in Texas where he got them Dems to work with him. But the Dems at the federal level hated him regardless, they have to in order to please the wacko base (they fund campaigns).
I never thought it would work and it didn't, but "I understand" why he tried.
P.S. Republicans cannot just do whatever they want with >50% in the Houese and Senate, you need a super-majority for that or........Dems that will work with you.
