Neither part. I meant, a Republican alternative to Bush. That would be FR's best role, to air (not suppress) dissatisfaction with the kind of Administration that sends $400m bribes to the states on something as Big Government as this seatbelt thing.

And, given the stuff Dubya supports and calls for, just what would be the difference between him and Dean? Please be specific.

Dubya has, to quote a good number of FR posters, taken all the issues the Dems would raise off the table by out-liberalling the libs. He has scarcely even ACKNOWLEDGED the Conservative base, let alone pursued ANY of their issues and concerns, to the point that, IMO, he's a one-termer.

Oh, and good riddance. At least when a Dem has the helm, people like you will rightly oppose his policies. Dubya just gets pass after pass. It's disgusting.
