COALITION THEORY (ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS)
You don't have to be an Einstein to figure this one out. Most Western Governments are formed by coalition. In this case the monied interests and the religious right, neither of whom had a majority among the electorate joined together to protect the presidency of George Bush who has dutifully continued to support tax cuts for the wealthy, protection of the flag, and those precious embryonic stem cells which would otherwise contribute to the aggregate body of biohazardous waste. Claiming a mandate of almost 51%, there is no reason to protect interests that differ from those of the coalition. Do you think that's why the President was more concerned with the destruction of Trent Lott's summer home, than the hungry, homeless and dying people of color in New Orleans? ¶ 8:16 PM
