...the problem is that he is either so insecure about his second term that he is willing to sell out conservatism whenever he believes it is expedient to do so...

Just as the Democraps do whatever they want to black voters and still get 90% of their votes, Dubya believes he can do the same and still get conservative votes. Where else are they going to go? They'll hold their noses and vote for him, right? Many on this forum suggest we do just that.

Look, here's some political reality for you -- people who are ideological pure conservatives (more or less), only comprise about 30-35% of the electorate (holds true for liberals too).

Bush can't win, no conservative can win with only 35% of the vote in their pocket.

So, he's gotta go to the middle, to get more than 50% of the vote. He went a little too far -- he'll come back. They're already thinking hard about it -- re-read Eberle's article.

Morris calls it triangulation -- whatever, its a political fact of life.

Hell, Bush isn't TRYING to offend anybody, he's playing a calculated strategy to win as many votes as he can.

In '00, the country was sick of Clinton and his whole team, yet Gore still WON the popular election by half a million votes.

Thank God for the narrowest of victories in Florida, and a 5-4 Supreme Court for salvation.

Look at the map, there's STILL a $j*tload of Blue states out there.

Bush has GOT to mine the middle for all the votes he can get, and now your making him worry if he can count on you ??
