I was thinking, in regards to my last post… George Bush could throw the amended bill back into the senate for debate. And he has good reason to…
Frist would be his opponent when it comes to the 2008 elections. By supporting Frist in getting the appended gambling bill through, he is only increasing Frists power and support base. By pushing the appended bill back into the senate of further debate, he keeps Frist honest and doesnt help Frist, a future opponent in building his support and power base.
Of course the Port Secutiy bill would go through without any problems and would help Bush strengthen his already conservative base, which is something Frist would have looked at tapping into.
Surely the power brokers, and spin doctors see this. Alternatively, they see Bush as a lost cause, who will be outed in the 2008 elections(hence the push of so many radical bills) and a strengthening of Republician governing government, and bringing in fresh blood (Frist) for the presidental race?
Thoughts?
