HC -
You got it my friend, exactly.
Which is why I preferred McCain in that particular slot, not that AEI and the Project for The... would not have made every effort to dominate as they do. I just think he would have successfully kept them gurgling in their think tank.
I see no sign whatsoever that our president has any intention of distancing himself from them, nor that americans are fully aware of just how controlling their agenda is on him... EVERY step of the way.
If I still had any faith in the party conventions, I'd be more than willing to participate in a serious draft McCain campaign... not because the president has personally screwed up or is a bad guy, but because his skills and abilities since (roughly) January of 2002 are not what we most need right now or in coming years. I still believe if he had been left to his own devices, he would have handled all this that has happened much differently. I am also fairly confident that he had no idea just how deeply in doo-doo he was getting himself and our country when he threw in with the likes of his advisors and staff. It seemed like a reasonable thing to do, at the time, I'm sure... but today their influence runs like a water leak throughout every facet of the executive branch. He is trapped, and so are we all.
Whoever is the president will receive my full support.
