Why doesn't anybody LISTEN to

Why doesn't anybody LISTEN to meeee?

It becomes more apparent that George bush is either a)a sock puppet or b)a liar. The evidence this time comes by way od BuzzFlash which pointed out:

CLAIM

"We'll have time to look at it and determine whether or not our grid needs to be modernized. I happen to think it does, and have said so all along."
- George Bush, 8/14/03 [LINK]

FACT

In June of 2001, Bush opposed and the congressional GOP voted down legislation to provide $350 million worth of loans to modernize the nation's power grid because of known weaknesses in reliability and capacity. Supporters of the amendment pointed to studies by the Energy Department showing that the grid was in desperate need of upgrades as proof that their legislation sponsored by U.S. Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA) should pass.

Unfortunately, the Bush Administration lobbied against it and the Republicans voted it down three separate times: First, on a straight party line in the U.S. House Appropriations Committee, then on a straight party line the U.S. House Rules Committee, and finally on a party line on the floor of the full House [Roll Call Vote #169, 6/20/01].

If Bush is the leader of the Republican party, why did "his" party ignore what he's been saying "all along"? If he's the leader, then he can only be lying about that claim. And if he's NOT lying then every Republican that claim deferance to him is…and he's a mere front man.
