Not at all, but they should be disciplined and tamed down.

but they should be disciplined and tamed down.

Perhaps you should read this article, posted on the GOP USA website.

For The GOP, A Warning

I would be willing to guess that everyone on this site is extremely thankful that Bush won the election. But to say that any of us need to be disciplined and censored for criticizing the administration is idiotic. Those of us who volunteered our time and resources to get President Bush reelected are dismayed at the Republican's performance thus far, including the President, and their lack of confidence since the election is astonishing as well as disappointing. We have come to expect the good ol Texas swagger, and a bit of arrogance, from President Bush. He is showing none of that steadfastness now.

If you think that the huge deficit, the lack of a collective spine over judges (nuke option) and Bolton, and allowing the borders to remain a welcome mat for illegals is true conservatism, then I think perhaps you are blindly following the party simply out of allegiance.

We are all conservatives on this site. We overwhelmingly voted this administration into office, expecting a complete butt kicking to take place. So far, it would appear that there is nothing more than a bunch of hand wringing going on.

Disciplined? You mean spank them and send them to bed without any supper?

Wow, I can't believe we finally agree. I knew you'd come around.

Now, how do you suggest we "discipline" Bush and Rove and "tame" them "down"? ;^)

You know, I stopped coming to freerepublic the last time this issue came up (when the word amnesty was brought up) I was called many creative names, not a real conservative etc. for not toeing the line on immigration.

"but they should be disciplined and tamed down."

I am certain I am not the only one who left on account of the name calling and general nastiness. You don't get much more tamed down than gone. If I had my way, this and spending would be at the top of every page in 72 pt. text flashing red.

The bottom line is that there is no compromise. I consider the security of our borders to be just as important, if not more so, than the bill of rights. If Republicans want to keep me and my family voting for them, they need to act. At this point it has gone on so long that only actions that bring results will be recognized. No more debate for debates sake, no more half assed proposals. Do the job you were elected to do, or don't expect my vote.
