I've lurked on this site for years. Yesterday I decided my lurking days are over and I've signed up to post.

Why? because I feel that I have to throw my two cents in with respect to the sniping against our president from ideological purists.

George W. Bush is a wartime president who is winning the war. He is doing this on behalf of the entire country -- left, right and center. The fight right now is against those who would kill hundreds of thousands if given the slightest opportunity. We can worry about the Department of Education after we win the war.

Glad to see a lurker speaking out. Welcome aboard.

Your comments are spot on. We are at war with terrorists, buchanan and his inflated ego remain at war with the President.

Agreed, and welcome. I too will vote for Bush.

But I will hold my nose, because there is no conservative principle served by the largest new entitlement in 40 years. The government already taxes away over half of what I earn. That is Slavery, and Bush adds weight to my chains.

We can worry about the Department of Education after we win the war.

But it was not the Conservatives who extended the Department of Education; who enacted Medicare Drug Coverage; who have refused to take such an obvious security measure, as closing our southern border.

It is not reasonable to ask those who would defend the American tradition, to sacrifice that tradition for an Administration which will not sacrifice its own expensive left of center parts of its agenda, to concentrate its own resources on that war. (And there are many, many questions about how well that war is being waged. I agree with Pat in the pride he takes on the achievements of our men in uniform. That does not mean that our present ongoing Iraqi program makes any sense.)
