Ted, If someone doesn't embrace the 'illusion' as you put it, then eventually this country will break apart...........this polarization can not go on indefinitely. Its bad for everyone and its getting uglier by the day. One of these days, people are going to learn the value of "disagree and commit," and that our differences really aren't that great to begin with. Or at least they shouldn't be. After all, ever wonder why Jimmy Mac claims that you and he would probably agree on a lot of things? Tenchusatsu

You have it right when you said "he sure pretended". Those things he did were to garner votes. I can separate people's ideology from their political actions, can't you? If nothing else, Bush is a political animal and he will do what it takes to win. You're correct when you say he did these things to garner votes, but they weren't votes with the people, he was courting Dems in congress. A fat lot of good it did him. They stabbed him in the back, and guys like you rant about him polarizing things. The war may have polarized unfortunately, but he sure tried to be a uniter before that. Yet he gets no credit. Ten's right when he says it's not worth it. You tick off your base, and the other side doesn't care. Brian
