Well that sure is one hell of a reason to vote for someone isn't it? Give me a break.
I don't choose a candidate because he is the better of two crappy choices. I vote for a candidate because he represents the majority of my views.
Bush is doing his damndest to alienate his base. This conservative will not go blindly to the ballot box and punch GW's card because he is only half a liberal.
And exactly whose card will you punch?
You know, I'm getting tired of posting this, but I'm sick to death of hearing about Bush alienating his base. It's a lie.
The first result is that the Republican Party is more unified than ever before. Ninety-one percent of Republicans approve of the job President Bush is doing. In 1992, Bush's father didn't have anything like that level of support, and even the Reagan administration was split between so-called pragmatists and ideologues.
Today's Republicans not only like Bush personally, they also overwhelmingly support his policies. According to a Pew Center study, 85 percent of Republicans support the war in Iraq, 82 percent believe that pre-emptive war is justified, and 72 percent believe the U.S. is justified in holding terror suspects without trial.
His "base" is with him.
