The dems and liberals ar making yet another mistake on this one because the only people on earth that will agree with them are the ones that already hate Bush and all other non-liberals. Claiming that the difference between taking a SB-3 Viking (most emphatically not a "fighter" as the liberal dems claim) instead of the typical presidential helicopter to the carrier wasted "over a million dollars" is so patently absurd that only a liberal blinded by his hate and ideology would believe it.
I saw a liberal democratic advisor to clinton on tv last night who was cringing at the whole idea of attacking Bush on such a petty partisan basis. The American people are not so foolish as to buy into such nonsense. Even most of the liberal talking heads on the talk show circuit think it is a stupid thing to be critical of, and a political mistake.
