Yes he cut taxes. But his free pills for granny act is going to force the government to jack them right up as the Boomers start retiring. He sure is compassionate with other people's money!

[erasmus605]

Given the alternatives, I think Dubya is our best bet. I know he's pissed a lot of people off, but President Dean?
Gaaaah!!!!

[dead]

They are too angry and busy to stop for a while but many are thinking that President Bush is the most conservative president in years, since "oh, my God, Reagan,"

Well gee, his competition is his tax-raising father and Bill Clinton, so I guess it could be considered a true statement.

If they want to go back further, he probably also beats Ford, Carter, Nixon and LBJ.

Other than Reagan, he’s the most conservative president since JFK. Whoop-de-friggin’ doo.

[cynicom]

George and his good friend Kennedy have poured billions down the education black hole, never to be seen again. Many conservatives are tired of the half a loaf government.

[mrustow]

Conservatives should support the President now and in November because we asked for his kind of leadership. What was the thing conservatives (and many closet conservatives) hated the most about President Clinton? It was that he had no core values.

This woman is an RNC-programmed Bushbot. Knock her on the head, and I bet you hear the sound of metal. Bush shows that he is ready to dismantle America, but we are obliged to support him, because Bill Clinton had no core values? Nowhere does Zoller give arguments in support of Bush, or even cite actual arguments against him. This column is nothing but mush, and smells to me of RNC damage control.

... the time when this mollycoddled nation of pablum-suckling piglets could stomach a real conservative is long since gone.

Twenty years from now, Dean will look like a conservative.

[Onelifetogive]

You know the BEST part about the liberalism of the Clinton Presidency....

Conservatives were not afraid to go "balls-to-the-walls" in fighting it. Somehow, Conservatives fear opposing Bush's liberalism.

I will likely vote for Bush. But I will make him work for my vote and I will let him and my Congressmen know when I oppose their spinelessness in the protecting of my freedom.

[spodefly]

"Conservatives Should Support the President Now and in November Because ..."

... he is preferable to Dean or Hillary. And because he is doing so well in the "War on Terror" (aside from that whole "open borders/rewards for lawbreakers" thing.)

[billbears]

He is what conservatives asked for in a President

Not any conservative I've ever heard of. Now he may be a good fit for those that like to play at being conservative (i.e. the new Republican party) though

[Onelifetogive]

Conservatives Should Support the President Now and in November Because…

We must define "Support". Do you "support" a drug addict by supplying him with more drugs???

I think that fighting against any Republican's misguided policies IS SUPPORTING him. Bush (and ALL Republicans) stands a better chance of winning elections if he governs conservatively!

[ShadowDancer]

Oh my God, is Howlin's pen name Martha Zoller?

Bush has refused to veto unconstitutional legislation, has presided over dramatic increases in the size and power of the federal government, and inaugurated a new and hugely expensive entitlement. To top it all off, he now proposes to reward illegal aliens for their illegal entry into our country, to abdicate his responsibility to defend our laws and our borders, and to bring in millions of law wage Third World immigrants to further depress the wages of Americans and to fuel the fires of political correctness and multiculturalism. He has not earned my vote.

If Bush loses the White House, maybe the Republicans will nominate a real conservative in 2008. In any event, a Republican Congress will largely keep a Democrat President in check and would reliably oppose the sort of lunacy (such as the Bush amnesty) it might very well pass if Bush proposed it.

[Saundra Duffy]

President may have screwed up on immigration but he's still my guy. I can't help myself.

[theyibby]

I'm too am a Dubya supporter...but i think he also said he was going to cut spending and deep six the Department of Education ( or at least cut back on it's influence) and I haven't seen this. That's a major disappointment.

Democrat or Republican...I just don't like folks who will say one thing to get elected (ala the immigration proposal) and then back pedal when it's time to put up or shut up.

Domestically, he's as much of a disappointment as was Daddy Bush.

[Southern Federalist]

Conservatives Should Support the President Now and in November Because…

Maybe because if any nominatable Democrat wins he will give the UN a veto over American national defence and pack the courts with still more elitist secularist zealots who will finish destroying the foundations of social order? Is that a reason? Or should we cut off our noses to spite our face, and let our grandchildren inherit the shame of millions more abortions and Dutch-style killing of the elderly, while living in one big terror-dominated Belfast from sea to shining sea? -- but by God we didn't dirty our hands voting for that SOB Bush!

Some people fear immigration and the national debt. I fear total social collapse under the pressures of global terrorism, leftist judicial tyranny, and Democrat's taxing the life out the country to support Social Security once the boomers are living off a workforce half their number. Some people fear the prospect of their grandchildren living in Mexifornia. I fear the prospect of mine living in Monrovia USA. I don't know how to convince someone who doesn't see the reality of that prospect. But I'm voting for Bush.

[ChadGore]

Conservatives Should Support the President Now and in November Because…
He ended the recession in the first year of his first term, defeated 2 of our declared enemies in the course of 18 months with a casualty rate of less than 0.25%, and after tax cuts kicked in, presided over an 8.2% growth in GDP, while bringing unemployment below 6%.

For a synopsis, See my tag line.

Conservatives Should Support the President Now and in November Because…

Because we can't turn this country around in four years and if we don't reelect President Bush we will lose what progress we have made. Is he better than his father? Yes. Is he better than Bill Clinton? Yes. We are on the right track, just don't expect us to get there tomorrow.

[fightu4it]

I wish every one of these intellectual midgets who delight in giving George Bush a hard time would do this little exercise.

Tomorrow morning when you wake up and grab a cup of coffee and turn on the news channel, pretend it's the morning of 11th of September 2001. Pretend that, of the three planes involved,one had successfully hit and destroyed the White House while the other two each had hit and destroyed seperate wings of the Capitol Building.

It's not too much to imagine. It could have very easily occured.

Now, dammit, you understand what motivates your President!

[PoorMuttly]

My view is that he is starting serious dialogs...and with only proposals, cutting his opponents' water off. This dialog placates those he has negotiated with on our behalf, like the Mexicans and Canadians and Dems...and has certainly gotten all sides thinking outside their respective boxes...and paying attention. Let's see what REALLY takes place, and in the mean time, allow him to play the diplomatic hand here and abroad, as best as he sees fit. There are national security issues in all this which we only guess at...and until the rest of us ALL become president with him...we should let him proceed with his job.

My 2 cents.

[KC_Conspirator]

The biggest reason I can think of is because if a democrat gets in office we will all have to purchase prayer rugs, burkas, and "Hooked on Arabic" for the kids. Tax cuts are also another reason. Some of his pro-life stances are good too. Besides that, we will be getting the same as democrat policies.
