Last time he reached out a hand in compromise with the Democrats, No Child Left Behind, he just got his hand bitten off, repeatedly. Why bother? Didn’t you all declare a mandate when Clinton won with less than 50% of the vote?!

He didn't have a plan (Miers)because the support group (Rove) was distracted by his Grand Jury testimony. Rove was able to divine wheels within wheels to accomplish Bush's objective, until the Miers appoinment. Bush talks to god, and he doesn't need to consult with anyone. Doesn't that explain a lot about the U.N./Coalition of the Willing/Social Security/Stemcells? If Rove had been at the wheel of the ship as per usual, he could've limited the damage on Miers. As it is, I think perhaps it is too soon to declare him cast adrift by his Base. The MOR's? That's another matter. <a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-ussen084460383oct08,0,11625.story?coll=ny-uspolitics-headlines" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-ussen084460383oct08,0,11625.story?coll=ny-uspolitics-headlines" rel="nofollow">http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-ussen084460383oct08,0,11625.story?coll=ny-uspolitics-headlines</a></a> It’s just the “burning bush’ approach to governance.

The great uniter (not divider)! Jesus H....we're talking about a man that felt 52-53% was a MANDATE to do whatever the hell he wanted, the other half of the country be damned. He appointed Miers in another act of his long series of cronyism. Maybe even to pad the court with buddies to help in any coming impeachment (Plame). There's really no mystery here. The man doesn't know more than 10 people, and he trusts even less than that number, I'm sure.
