CIRCLE THE FIRING SQUAD :

Conservatives not satisfied with Bush's record (Ralph Z. Hallow, June 18, 2002, The Washington Times)

Besides his support for programs created during the Clinton administration, conservative lawmakers have criticized Mr. Bush for not standing up to Democrats and liberal Republicans in Congress on issues such as campaign-finance reform. [Rep, Robert] Barr, who insisted that "the Bush agenda is basically good," nonetheless said the president's failure even to threaten to veto campaign-finance regulation "was probably the greatest disappointment of the last year and a half."

This story reminds you of a movie where the troubled killer knows he's evil but fights his urges. The story always reaches a scene where he's holding a knife to his next victim's throat and begging : Shoot me before I kill again. Here's a bunch of legislators complaining that the President signed the legislation that they passed. Isn't it their own record they should be dissatisfied with?
