Answer 2

thats not possible, right now the liberals will hate everything that bush does just because he does it. All the libs are about is winning elections so they can abuse power.

Answer 3

Well they have to or nothing would ever get passed. Haven't you ever heard of pork barrel spending.

Answer 4

Well, then how is he "partisan?" Sounds OK.

no. He has a responsiblilty to his constituants. If he can please everyone, that is great, but the people who voted for him, for specific reasons, are first.
