re: #83 marjoriemoon

I was reading an article the other day (I’ll have to find it again), that said that Muslims are largely Republican because they liked Bush. Specifically that he often spoke of a clear distinction between peaceful Muslims and the extremists. That’s what’s so perplexing about him keeping so quiet about the mosque. I guess no one but the Muslims were really paying attention.

Bush would burn what little influence he has left were he to speak out in favor of Park 51. The smart play, IMO, is to wait for till he can act with a chance to make a real difference.
