Nope. I am a conservative. I don't pretend that we are the "base" when 4,000,000 more conservatives voted for Bob Dole than for George Bush. That fact places us in a bit of a bind--namely, Bush doesn't owe us a damn thing, and he can ask us "What have YOU done for me lately?"
You may not like it, but patronage is the mother's milk of politics. Politicians are quick reward their friends. They are slow to grant boons to those who don't help them. Bush's support for conservative initiatives is actually rather atypical.
My "hatred" of conservatives is a hearty and healthy dislike for those who have talked much and done little. When you have to cite the protests--the protests that could have been avoided had the "conservative base" actually shown up--as evidence of what conservatives did for Bush, you merely underline the fact that we conservatives have done very little for him, but constantly demand a great deal in return.
