Why not, he abandoned us a long time ago.
Bush abandoned the Conservative base that elected him twice to the presidency. He only has himself to blame...
Beat me to it.
Let's talk about immigration. I didn't leave the president, the president left me. If he will build the fence and enforce the laws of this country, then I will walk through fire for him. Let him make a commitment to rejoin Conservatives on this issue.
Then we can talk about Iraq.
Me, too! I supported him through both Presidential elections, and when he was Governor of Texas. It is he who has abandoned us.
The effect on party politics is irrelevant (and crass to even bring up). Abandoning support of Bush is simply the right thing to do, as he has violated his oath of office and exhibited contempt for our laws, our Constitution and for the people who sign his paycheck.
Excellent points. Much agreed.
We didn’t abandon Bush, he abandoned the conservatives that put him in office. Now the other RINO’s think that they are going to be able to move left and still maintain our support. They think we have no other choice. In other words, you will just have to take what you get!
Bad mistake!
Gallagher couldn't be more wrong.
Conservatives got tired of defending Bush and then having the White House not join the defense OR come out against his own defenders.
And then there are policy difference with McCain-Feingold and Illegal Amnesty. Those are huge disagreements with his base, and he's chosen to fight them over it, and they fought back.
Abandon the President? He's not abandoned. He's supported on points of agreement and not supported on points of disagreement.
The only problem I have with this President is his inability to deal with the illegal immigration issue the right way. Maybe I just don’t understand his motivations on that issue. But as for just about everyting else, he has been a good President, despite what you may hear and see in the media and from the far left types.
The 2008 election, however, scares me. Those who villify the President now will be even less happy next year. Unless Fred Thompson runs, there is not one single good Presidential candiate among the whole lot — that includes both parties. I’m expecting we will have a socialist Democrat in the White House in 2009, and it may well be Hillary. Four more years of Clinton rule will be far worse than eight years of George Bush. You can take that to the bank. (Well, actually, if Miz Clinton does get elected, you won’t have a bank to go to once she destroys the economy.)
My only issues are National Security and Border Security. Everything else to me comes under these two banners. I voted twice for the man, but when it came time for the man to give me what I voted for (twice) he failed me and then left me in a cloud of dust. If he reforms, I'll lay on a bed of nails to cushion his body from the barbs, otherwise he may go lay on his own bed of nails without me to cushion him.
this wise@ss frat-boy abandoned us.
... “I’ll see you at the bill signing.”
I’m more concerned about how to seriously and successfully prevent the Democratic Party from winning “the whole enchilada” in ‘08.

Dittos.
President Bush has been with us on the WOT and the Justices. He has opposed us fiscally and on immigration, all of which was clear when he ran for office the first time. He has governed pretty much the way I always thought he would.
He probabley does not want my support either since I am a narrow minded, bigotted xenophobic person who opposed the shamnesty.
The ONLY question is, is he stupid or traitorous savant.. or a democrat mole..

Dittos to you. You took the words from my mouth.
This has been coming on like a tidal wave since the last election. The President has made some horrible decisions on people and policy and is going to pay the price.
