I haven't really read this thread, but I'll pipe up anyway...I have ten minutes while I'm waiting for a phone call anyhow.

Do I agree with the President on everything? No, I certainly don't.

Do I support his reelection? Absolutely.

I choose not to dwell right now on the areas of disagreement. There is too much that needs to be done to allow these things to distract or divert us.

Fact is, he is the nominee of my party. We still live in a two-party system, and the alternative is too wretched to contemplate.

So, I choose to devote my time, my energy and my money to the places where I can actually impact this thing:

Senate races. The makeup of the U.S. Senate next year is going to determine the makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court for decades to come. We can pick up a number of seats if we work hard. The numbers and the politics favor us.

Congressional races. We have the opportunity to pick up a very large number of new seats, and there is absolutely no reason that a ton of them cannot be real conservatives, if we all work now in the primaries to make it so.

GOP Party politics. In this arena, the victory goes to those who show up. Every conservative needs to devote themselves to electing like-minded people to party positions, choosing strong delegates to the state and national conventions, and to keeping the platform pro-life and conservative.

Keeping the heat on our elected officials. ....which of course is a job that never ends, unfortunately.

Bingo, heck, considering he ran as a middle-of-the-road moderate, we got a great deal for W.

The number of things he's done right outnumber the things done wrong by at least an order of magnitude. No joke. There is a list around here somewhere of all the things he's done right that could reach to the moon.
