SIGH
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.
From THIS thread.
You are forgetting that the fringe radicals that make up the LP are only vocal on this forum because we let it happen.
If enough of us complained to Jim Rob about the hate and negativity you and your neo-con buddies spew on a continuous basis, we could make it mandatory that you and your ilk leave this forum and form your own.
I am sure that your types have considered that but you know good and well you couldn't get enough people to make it happen.
Instead, you keep disrupting the rest of us with your sickening rhetoric. It's getting real old to say the least.
Even the popular billionaire Perot couldn't come close to winning. He only served to hurt the GOP, which he did on purpose. Tancredo would hut the GOP, but not on purpose. Same outcome.
Bush has lost a large number of supporters.
Recent polls don't seem to show that. Maybe he's gaining supporters.
Between his antics and the Democrats, another option stand a good chance of taking the Whitehouse.
I don't see anything out there to support that.
Failing that, with good numbers we can turn to Janus cabal on it's ears.
There is too much at stake to play games.
