shootinstudent, I agree that the administration has alienated many, perhaps most, of those who re-elected Bush a few years ago. Together with Congress, Bush has failed to give the people the conservative leadership they voted for twice.
Acknowledging the obvious failure of the Bush administration to accomplish much of anything,
That just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. The administration has certainly accomplished much in dealing with terrorism. And please don't be so naive as to think that 2008 is going to be a real measure of the actual competence or leadership of the Bush Administration. That would be a foolish way to evaluate any administration in any country.
As for refusing to cooperate, he is right. The Dems are on a fishing expedition to tie up his administration and discredit it in any way possible. They said they would do as much prior to the last election. It is a cynical political move that ought to bite them in the butt, but won't. Republicans are too nice and too scared of charges of partisanship (gasp!) to dish that garbage out.
Correct. The administration has cooperated with witch-hunts against itself far more than it should have.
