Ace: I'm glad you mentioned the uniter thing. It is my opinion that his dividership has been based more around his singleminded devotion to unilateral action, domestically and internationally, thank the political atmosphere. His lack of interest in outside input or transparent decision-making preceded 9/11 by a significant margin.
I also think that he meant almost nothing of what he said about gay marriage. That "amendment" was nothing other than a cynical ploy to galvanize likely Republican voters to the polls. I'm not saying he personally supports gay rights, but that he did not actually believe that the issue was as important as they made it out to be.
I also question what he meant, if anything by "compassionate conservatism".
