""I just hope his conservative base does not shoot itself in the foot again like it did with Ross Perot.""

Where are they going to go?

No president can please everyone, but we would be delusional to even consider anyone else.

Going nowhere. I'll vote for lower offices but sit out the Presidential. No way I can vote, again, for a man who expanded government more than anyone since LBJ.

It's the GOP-run Congress that increased the spending, not Bush.

Put the blame where it belongs: liberal Republicans. Not that Bush gets any credit for reining them in. Still, they spent the money, not him.

For those who, like me, don't like seeing the GOP become the party of big government, maybe we should take it out on Congresscritters, not Bush.

The president defends the country and takes it to war and makes appointments to the judiciary and staffs the executive branch. The rest is up to Congress, regardless of what the president wants. Just like Reagan and Clinton found out.

As conservatives, we fared better when the GOP was in the minority in Congress. Maybe those are the bums we should look to throw out instead of Bush.

Just a few thoughts. Every so often, my evil twin makes me mad but generally those who are really responsible are in the GOP Congress.

If it weren't for Tom DeLay and Ron Paul and a few others, I would completely oppose all congressional Republicans for re-election.

Perhaps down the road you may reconsider?

Frankly, I am amazed GWB & Co. have been able to do anything at all with the "human waste" that makes up Congress and the courts.
