You didn't vote for him? Yet you went out and fought for him?

That's totally irrelevant. A lot of conservatives didn't vote for Bush yet went to bat for him in 2000. That didn't mean they wanted Gore to win just to spite Bush and his fan club. It was all about giving Bush a fresh chance and seeing what happens. Who knew back then? Maybe Bush would've outlined a bold, conservative agenda. He didn't. Apples and oranges.

You just like to fight, don't you?

As opposed to mindlessly pulling the lever and voting straight Republican party ticket? Sinkspur, by the end of this decade the Republicans will be Democrats, and Democrats will be bloodthirsty Stalinists. Are you still going to vote lockstep GOP and support liberal GOP policies?

I suspected that you didn't vote for him, so who the hell cares how much you fought for him? If he'd lost, who cares how much you'd fought?

I care about the direction that this country is going. It's going South big-time. You're probably happy because your RNC fund-raising letter arrived in the mail today which features a glossy photo of Bush striking some pose, which explains your screw-you, I'm a Republican attitude.

Why would conservatives who didn't support Bush go out of their way to support him during the post-election turmoil? You didn't give a rip about him during the election, why after the election?

Oh, please. I've read some of the posts during the aftermath. Lots of FR posters hoping that Bush loses the recount so Gore can win and "the revolution" or whatever can get underway. Give me a break.

You people KNEW from the get-go what Bush was proposing. Education, Medicare/SS reform, tax cuts...he was repeating these issues day in and day out on the campaign trail. Now you're upset because Bush won't yield to the Pat Robertsons, the Extremer Extremely Extreme right-wing, FReepers here because he's not conservative enough.
