Because Bush wants to play nice? No.</p><p> Because Bushdoesn't agree with their agenda? Nope again.</p><p> It's because Bushwholeheartedly agrees with their fringe, far right agenda andhe knows most Americans don't.Most Americans believe in a woman's right to choose.</p><p> MostAmericans don't believe someone should be fired from theirjobs or be denied housing or kept away from their loved onesdying bedside simply because they're gay.</p><p> Most Americans areuncomfortable with the government raising one particularreligion -- say, oh, I don't know, fundamentalist Christianity --high above all others.</p><p> Most Americans want the government tostay out of their private lives and not take away their right tomake end-of-life decisions for themselves and their loved ones.Most Americans believe in reasonable gun control.</p><p> And on andon.Bush doesn't.</p><p> The far right doesn't.</p><p> And they want to putsomeone on the Supreme Court who is WAY out of themainstream of judicial thought on all these issues.</p><p> Someonelike Robert Bork, who recently said people imagined he wouldhave overturned Roe v.</p><p> Wade.</p><p> And you know what, he said?They were right.</p><p> Ads by GoogleHP LaserJet MFPPrintersBoost Productivity & Reduce Costs.Upgrade to a HP LaserJet Printer!www.hp.com Add New CommentYou are commenting as a Guest.</p><p> You may select one to log into: Logged in as Logout from DISQUSLogged in asusing Facebook Connect (Logout)Type your comment here.</p><p> Ben SmithGoing small - My story tonight: President BarackObama came alive about 50 minutes intoWednesday night’s news conference – whensomebo8 minutes ago HuffPost PoliticsHuckabee's Huck Pac In Turmoil With StaffTurnover, Mounting Debts - Former Arkansas Gov.Mike Huckabee's political action committee, HuckPac, is undergoing a "restructuring," ExecutiveDirector Sarah Huckabee said Wednesday....22 minutes ago Daily KosOpen Thread and Diary Rescue - *Today, srkp23(pulling a double shift), ybruti, taylormattd,ItsJessMe and vcmvo2 combed through hundredsof diaries to find this powerful list.</p><p> Today's...1 hour ago EschatonOvernight - Folk On.</p><p> Newish.1 hour ago Crooks and LiarsOpen Thread - Open Thread below...1 hour agoJ O H N ' S P H OT O S Show AllA M E R I C A B L O G T VHate in your state?Join Americans standing strongagainst hate.www.splcenter.orgSotomayor Court CasesAnalysis of key issues.</p><p> Court casesheard by Sotomayor, 1992 to presentwww.leagle.comWorld Congress FamiliesTake a stand.</p><p> Help encourage anddefend the Natural Family!www.worldcongress.org Next 6AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: Bush ...http://www.americablog.com/2005/07/bush-to-far-right-shhhhh... 1 of 57/23/09 1:29 AMVisit ourAMERICAblog TV site.see all 323 videos >I collect with vodpod In honor of SenatorDeMint For the GOPers, healthcare is politics.</p><p> They just Traditional media has todebunk the birthers One small step...</p><p> The right-wing media, thevoices of the GOP, inAMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: Bush ...http://www.americablog.com/2005/07/bush-to-far-right-shhhhh... 2 of 57/23/09 1:29 AMThe TreatmentObama Has a Grown-UpTalk With America(Gulp)1 hour agoEzra KleinTab Dump5 hours agoWonk RoomSen.</p><p> Byron Dorgan:The ‘Trade’ InCap-And-Trade ‘MakesNo Sense To Me’7 hours agoHealth BeatTruth Squad: WallStreet Journal HealthCare Editorial Wrong onthe Facts . . .8 hours agoDaily DoseProviders Endorse 'Payfor Value' ProposalsG AY P O L I T I C S Visit our new gay politicssection, AMERICAblog Gay.F E E D S Blog RSS AMERICAblog TV RSS Twitter RSSTwitter Feed Get the blog by email: Subscribe me!
