Bush refusal to bend is break for Dems News analysis by Judy Keen and Kathy Kiely, USA TODAY
-----------------------------
President Bush's re-election set the stage for a new Republican revolution. Voters elected a president with big ideas and strengthened Republican control of Congress. "I earned political capital ... and now I intend to spend it," Bush said on Nov. 4.

Congress isn't always buying.

Bush has not unified his party around his plan to overhaul Social Security. A senior Republican senator, George Voinovich of Ohio, helped trigger the opposition that has stalled confirmation of John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations. Republicans helped foil White House plans to bar Democrats from filibustering Bush's judicial nominees in the Senate.

In the House, 50 Republicans voted against Bush's restrictions on embryonic stem cell research and 38 broke ranks to vote for ending FBI scrutiny of libraries under the USA Patriot Act. Last week, Rep. Walter Jones (news, bio, voting record), R-N.C., whose district includes the Marines' Camp Lejeune, joined Democrats in demanding a timetable for a pullout from Iraq.

At a White House lunch for Senate Republicans this week, Bush touted votes to limit bankruptcy and class-action lawsuits as big GOP victories. But he's having trouble building momentum for his second-term priorities as he prepares to fill a possible Supreme Court vacancy.
