Reply #7: I can't condone that -- but there was at lease more debate over it

[Armstead]

Remember how it slid through with almost nary a peep originally. This time, at least questions were raised, there were challenges and a "compromise" was required.

9-11 threw a big monkey wrench into the works. Made the whole nation crazy for a while, and we still haven;t regained our sanity....But in the Bigger Picture, I still believe the point of my original analysis.

Just remember -- Bush is at about 40 percent approval now.
