Meg, no conservative could give anything but thanks that President Bush is in the White House. I certainly haven't forgotten how close the election was, and I shudder to think where we'd be now with President Gore. And I'm very grateful to him for things like a no on Kyoto and his leadership against Islamic terror. But in other areas he has fallen very short and criticism is more than justified. Websites like FR should be a conservative burr under his saddle and a lightning rod of supporter dissent whenever this President lets principle drift. It is simply inadequate of you and your friends to accuse disappointed posters of being closet Dean supporters, or whatever. The key for 2004 is to ensure that our team doesn't stay home on polling day, like they did with his father.
