John, Hey, I mostly agree. I am a 'plug my nose' supporter of Bush. Whatever his personal views, he must satisfy the socially conservative slice of his party and that is always worrisome to me. As for fiscal conservatism, there was a very nice Milton Freidman oped in the WSJ today. Freidman enthusiastically endorsed Bush's tax policies. You may disagree with him but he is the ultimate stamp of approval for the fiscal conservatives. Freidman is major influence for the 'eagles'. Personally, I am shocked at Bush's new tax initiative. It is the first and only sign of a principled domestic policy to date. I was so cynical about Bush that it took more than a week for me to accept that it was as good as it seemed. The wishy-washy stand on affirmative action today is more the norm. I would not be at all surprised to see a new party emerge to satisfy the eagles. Demographics will cause a political crisis sometime this decade. The traditional base of both parties will make it difficult for them to confront the crisis. Oh, me and my paradigm shift. Paul
