November 19, 200421 yr Here's what I see happening. Bush is not going to appease his base (ie evangelicals). The gay marriage ban will not pass. Abortion will continue to be practiced on a large scale. The religious right will get dooked in the butt over their core issues. haha. Falwell and Co. need to create some new issues to energize the base, because, slowly the previous two are near impossible to move on. 617543[/snapback] Thats exactly it, and on top of that BUSH IS A MODERATE. Lowering the deficit size and controlling federal spending are th emost conservative things on the agenda thats why they havent been passed b/c od moderates in the party. Gingrich was not a moderate, he wanted a balanced budget and reduction in federal spending
November 19, 200421 yr The biggest issue will be the high court positions. Look, its already started. Can anyone here deny that Spector got fried for saying he wouldnt rubber stamp Bush's judges if they are too conservative? Theyve effectivley neutralized Arlen Spector. How often dose a senior sentator now owe the much more socially conservative junior senator for saving him?
