It is hard for any one to be an honest politician who is not born and bred a dissenter.

Does that sound familiar? Disagree with President Bush and what happens? Let’s see: Secretary of State Colin Powell disagrees, he’s gone; Secretary of Treasury Paul O’Neil disagrees, he’s gone; Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, gone; Education Secretary Rod Paige; gone and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham, gone; and there were others, but you get the point.
