Just as President Bush antagonizes many leftists he also has that effect on some of his own party. It's possible to be a conservative and oppose the war strongly enough to vote against President Bush. Likewise the policies of pre-emption and setting up a gulag in cuba and alienation of our former european allies also serve as a deal breaker. And recently you can add in the giant socialist expansion of medicare, the incredible mountain of debt the republicans have ammassed (shades of california anyone, and so much for the compact with America, where for art thou Newt?), and the same pandering to latino voters that cost Govenor Davis his job and there's plenty of excuses for ANYONE to vote against President Bush.

But aside from the patriot act and gitmo I strongly approve of how this country has prosecuted the war on terror, and while the deficit is a worry President Bush has bent over backwards to get the economy out of the Clinton recession so the overall good outweighs the negatives, for me at least. 3% of Republicans seem to feel otherwise.

IMHO of course.

You mean the alienation of the Socialist, Eurotrash triumverate of Germany, France and Russia, while most of the rest of the continent supported us.
