Bush Shrugs Off Setbacks, Vows Agenda Push

If they're going to be fair, and I doubt they will, then the U.S. government will move in a more centrist way. Regardless of who is president or when , there is always a large percentage who feel disenfranchised. What is so difficult about compromise? What is so difficult about reaching for common ground? Sure there will always be those who say you must pick a side, but those are also the ones always fighting a war, somewhere.

Bush is annoyed that his RepublicanSenate didn't stay the course, and instead sought a treaty as it were when the Dems. threatened to filibuster Bushes court nominees. We shouldn't have judges (especially supreme court justices), who have an "agenda" going in. The last thing that is, is fair and Democratic. Judges should have NO preconceived ideologies. They should "judge" each case on its own merits and in accordance with what the citizens may want, balanced by what is good for the country.

Bush has promised (yeah, I believe him - NOT!!), to consult across party lines when nominating a new supreme court justice. When questioned on his willingness to "compromise" with both Iran and N. Korea, he said we "are making some progress, but these things take time". To those who suggest military action in N. Korea,Bush said "For those who say that we ought to be using our military to solve the problem, I would say that while all options are on the table, we've got a ways to go to solve this diplomatically."
Funny, he didn't say that in Iraq, and opposed everyone else who was insisting on it. He also want to go ahead with a "free trade" agreement in Latin America, yet turns round and puts restrictions on China, which are straining our relationship with them. But ultimately its about the "bully" coming face to face with bigger, badder, foes. So what's a bully to do? The only logical thing; insist he isn't a bully at all, and make nice with the big boys, that's what.

Compromise, discussion, give and take, that's what makes a truly free Democracy. Without it, its merely a dictatorship.
