The term "bushbot" does not exactly grasp the reality of what happened. There was a strategy on this forum and in the party in general to protect the president from attack by conservatives for fear of weakening him in the war and in our effort to keep control of the Senate for the Supreme Court. Divided we fall is the truth.

However, it resulted in us not having an opposition voice to the liberal moves made by the President and essentially strangled all conservative juice. Conservative juice - ideas and voice is what won us the house and the senate to begin with. So if we were to remain loyal to the president, we were set to lose our conservative voice and leadership and so we lost power in the House and the Senate. When Rinos controlled the party before we were a minority. So we are back to being a minority because the president is a rino on many important issues (federal education, federal drug program, open borders and North American federal Union, spending, spending, spending)

Had we attacked rinos and Bush we would have made the party even weaker and given the Left comfort and power. By not standing up to rinos and Bush, we have given the Left power.

It was a no win situation for conservatives given the need to support the President during a war while the Democrat turncoats relentlessly attacked and betrayed. What you call the "Bushbots" lost but you would have lost, too, so maybe you should dismount the high horse you are riding.

Also it is time to stop shouting down conservatives for fear we will lose power. We lost power, folks, and it will get worse if we don't sidestep Bush and the Rinos and get a conservative team, agenda and voice in place before 2008.

Well, that is my two cents for what it is probably not worth much.

That you can see that means that you are not who I meant was a Bushbot. I saw what was going on, and was even a part of it. Now that the strategy has failed, and we have a lame duck president, a Democratic Congress, and a need to pick a new leader in the next two years, I was calling for us to finally challenge this strategy.

The Bushbots are those who still attack anyone who questions Bush as if though the questionner is an enemy.
