[history]
President Bush is beginning to anger certain hard-line conservatives, particularly over fiscal issues, the way his father did in the year before he lost to Bill Clinton in 1992.
It's not clear how deep the dissatisfaction goes, and whether it will translate to damage at the polls in November.

So what will your endorsement for Howard Dean accomplish?
To: Texas_Dawg
I've done a lot more with the DC Chapter than "lurk around." My record with them speaks for itself and I am not part of the "national socialist populist union" anything. If you wish to drink the Bushite Koolaid, be my guest.

"Yeah, he may lose a few conservative votes from people staying home, but there will be more than enough extra moderates to make up for them."Independents make up 30-40 percent of the voting public, have you talked to any independents recently? If not for the IND. vote Bush would have lost in a landslide in 2000. Something to keep in mind.
To: Always Right
"I'm beginning, for the first time, [to hear] people talk about 'it would not be the worst thing in the world if Howard Dean were president,'
"LOL....yeah, no conservative would ever say that."

EXACLTY!
To: Always Right
I didn't say it. The article made the point that others have said it. I don't want Dean or anyone like him to be President.
To: GunsareOK
Governing always does this. The true believers always get mad when their party is in charge, as it has to pander to the middle to get re-elected.
I'm disappointed in CFR, Medicare (although there are some good things in there) and nonmilitary spending increases, but I'm voting for GWB again due mostly to tax cuts, war and terrorsim concerns, ditching Kyoto and the ICC.
To: antaresequity
I am pissed off too....but Guns are my issue. I will vote for him if he lets the assault weapons ban fall. If he doesn't...I will sit it out.
I seriously hit my knees and thank God every night that we have a President that does not go out of his way to make people like you happy. We are a much better country and true conservatism is much stronger because of it.

who will vote for the Constitution Party, the America First Party, or the Libertarian Party or I may write in Tom Tancredo. You might as well do a write in on toilet paper and wipe your butt with it for all the good it will do. Better yet, stay home and pout.

If you wish to drink the Bushite Koolaid, be my guest. That's fine. You go drink your Buchananite Koolaid. Good riddance. Conservatism and the GOP are much stronger when we smoke terrorists like you out of your holes (or bunkers, I think you call them).

I'm beginning, for the first time, [to hear] people talk about 'it would not be the worst thing in the world if Howard Dean were president,' because the size of government would stay still rather than increase 50 percent under a second Bush administration." More proof, if any was needed, that conservatives have our share of total morons.
Grassroots conservatives I know are incredibly enthusiastic about Bush.

And the two disappointments you mention would have been far worse under the only other alternative in our 2-party system. Bush has done hundreds of things for conservatives that would not have happened had he not been voted in (and will cease the minute he and the GOP are voted out).

Even dogs and rabits can be thought, that if you pull the red lever you get something good, if you pull any of the other 3-4 levers, you will get the same terrible thing.
If you vote for Bush, you get Bush, if you vote for anyone else, you are voting for Dean or whoever the Dem nominee will be.
Why is it, that even animals are able to learn the consequences of actions, but a number of humans are incapable of it?
To: SunStar
His fiscal policies (an Education Bill that panders to NEA teachers who won't vote for him anyway and the drug expansion of medicaid), his failure to control the southern border, and his signing of "campaign finance reform" are my main gripes as well as his reluctant arming of the pilots.
To: GunsareOK
So legalized drugs is most important to you?

Get them talking, especially in private, and it NEVER ceases to fail that they share much more in common with the tenets of national socialism than they do with classic Western, American conservatism. Pat Buchanan's latest column is a great example.
