I personally think that he's trying to shoot at too many different issues at once. And it's not just a Bush thing - I think there is just so much pressure from different groups on him.
For example, my views on the economy all of a sudden have become tied to a whole load of other issues. All of a sudden I find myself dealing with a religious agenda that I don't want to deal with.
I think I'm not the only one to feel this. There was an article on the Gay membership of the Republican party. 25% of homosexuals voted Republican in the last election. Funding and membership in the Log Cabin Republicans increased as soon as Bush proposed an agenda limiting gay marriages. The group will now try and exert more influence and pressure in the party.
How do you balance all these different issues?
Historically issues started getting combined over anti-slavery and it was actually the precursor to the Republican party to do this.
