I agree. President Bush is alienating his base. Write him letters, don't just complain here.

The Bush bashers have an agenda. It's obvious. Very obvious.

The president is the president of all the people. Not just conservatives (although I'll grant you it's not smart to tick off those that brought you to the dance).

The alternatives are unthinkable.

Your analogy that if we end up with a Democrat president I have no right to complain is not valid, provided I vote, which of course I will and it will be for Bush.

People who DO NOT VOTE are the ones who have no right to complain.

Your point is well taken. But also understand that proper criticism of Bush (and I'm not advocating name-calling of Bush or other FReepers, and I hope I haven't engaged in same previously) does register with people in the GOP, and it is equivalent to letting GW know that his base is not happy (at least, a lot of us aren't). Fine, let them "blow off" the disruptors, the people who didn't vote for Bush in 2000, etc. But for people like me, who did vote for Bush in 2000 and who *may* vote for him again this year, a little respect is in order.
