I received a reply to my position that by expressing a desire to walk away, those that are dissatisified, were helping the Republicans to turn it around...which is possible. The reply said "I keep my disagreements in private, but on this forum I fully support the President". That was paraphrased, but really close. If that policy were the one of a sports team owner, he would gripe to his wife, but tell the coach he was doing great. Isn't that lying? Hypocritical? But it is the position of many on this forum. I hope the conservatives reassert themselves, and control the President, if they don't though, they don't deserve my vote. It is as simple as that.

There are conservatives that feel it best to support the President even though they don't approve of him, and if it were not for the danger he poses in his second term, intentionally or not intentionally, regarding our sovereignty and constitutional republic, I might agree with them. Although I strongly feel it best to slap the Republican party with the threat of extinction in one devastating blow so they never present a RINO for office again.

Given the reluctance of some sincere conservatives to voice their disapproval there is no harness on his excesses. Others that are estatically for Bush are not conservatives, they are neo-cons, and we owe FR a debt of gratitude that the difference between conservative and neo-conservative has been so deeply defined.

As I posted on another thread, conservatives should hold neo-con claims to conservatism, with as much suspecion as they do liberals claims to patriotism, the facts don't back up the claims in either case.
