Dubya has painted himself into an ugly corner. Few congress people are going to want to identify themselves with Dubya when the Dems are finished working this one.
And again, as we are discussing on another thread, some guys just don't get it. The way to run a legislature (or Congress) is to work with the existing members to get stuff through. That's something Dubya will NEVER stoop to. And so, he will be endlessly crucified. If there were no term limits, his impeachment proceedings would be well underway. At this point, it's a matter of how many Dubya decisions did an incumbent oppose. That's chiefly how the next election will be scored in voters' minds. By next November, "Dubya" will be synonymous with "Republican" and other terms like "Incompetent" and "Irresponsible." Politics has rarely been this simple.

No, you are wrong again. Not only that, you obviously do not know what is in this bill.
The hallmark of his tenure as governor of Texas was working with both sides of the aisle, and this is one of the many rasons I voted for him the first time around. His handlers convinced him he did not need to do this as he would have enough support in both houses of congress to just steamroller things through, which angered the Left, because they were not the ones driving the steamroller.
When the opportunity presented itself, rather than do what is best for the country, they want PAYBACK! They do what they can to undermine the authority and prestige of the chief executive at every opportunity, consequently damaging the reputation and position of the country they were elected to put before their own interests.
