Wheteher you hate Bush or not you have to give him credit for following his convictions and making tough and sometimes unpopular decisions for the greater good.......even though the polls would tell him not to.
After what hapened when we crossed swords over a Bush joke, I never expected us to agree 100% on a politically related debate. I make no apologies for not being a "Bush supporter," but I will give him kudos for not listening to polls. I'd like to think the will of the people counts for something, and any president should be sensitive and responsive to their concerns, but the polls don't represent the will of the people.
(However, if you'll indulge me, there are other sources of information besides polls that Bush might have done well to listen to, but that's a debate for a different time, and one that in all honesty is out of my area of expertise.)
