The compassionate conservative



These caring remarks should help vacation boy sink even lower in the polls. If he would just read a paper every now and then he may just realize that the majority of Americans do not agree with his Iraq policy and even more so think he is just a shitty president.
President Bush suggested Tuesday that anti-war protesters such as Cindy Sheehan, who want the troops brought home immediately, do not represent the views of most U.S. military families and are "advocating a policy that would weaken the United States."

In brief remarks outside the exclusive resort where he is vacationing, Bush gave no indication that he would change his mind and meet with Sheehan, who lost a son in Iraq and has emerged as a harsh critic of the war there, when he returns to his Texas ranch Wednesday evening.

Sheehan has been maintaining a vigil outside Bush's ranch, a demonstration that has been joined by more and more other anti-war protesters. (Related story.)

Bush said two high-ranking member of his staff already have met with her.

Bush said most military families have a different viewpoint than Sheehan. "She doesn't represent the view of a lot of families," he told reporters.
