Thus it seems that Rove has convinced the President that no matter what outrage the President commits against the conservative principles he ran on, the conservative base will be there not only on election day, but during the campaign.
The first time I heard, "I didn't leave the democratic party, the party left me," was during the 1988 elections. Those folk found the BIG RNC TENT.
There is a claim being made, "For every conservative we lose, we pick up two from the DNC." I have no link, statistic, or anyone to quote. The more probable case is, WHERE THEY GONNA GO! What are the conservatives going do? The third parties have made no preparation whatsoever, except the Libertarians.
Just like Robertson said, BUSH CAN DO NO WRONG!
I think Bush and Rove are in the process of creating one.
