If you've come to those conclusions, you've drawn it from something other than what I wrote.

Are you also purposely misunderstanding the point?

If you are a sales organization, and a significant number of former clients stop buying from you, do you blame THEM? If you do, then it's only a matter of time before you're out of business. Who do you blame then?

I never said, nor do I believe, that ALL conservatives agree with this position. I specifically wrote that there would be a large number of people who do agree. But I never said, nor intimated, that ALL conservatives would. You drew that out of thin air.

And I never said anything about a "true conservative" opinion. You have not-so-cleverly tried to change the point from a disagreement over SOME Bush policies and positions to "every single thing Bush has done." Did you misrepresent this intentionally? Would you be happier if most of the people who disagree with you on these points simply left the republican party? Are you really so intent on Bush supporters being 100% pure, that you are willing to push us non-purists out?

That's what it sounds like so far.

You're the one threatening to stay away from the voting booth because of "some" things and attitudes you disagree with, not me.

But it doesn't matter how many analogies you write up, if voters stay away because of personal agendas, there's a big fat ZERO in Bush's column.

Now how can the people who vote FOR him be blamed for that?

And just so you know, if I ran a company where 91 percent of the people who bought my product kept buying it, somehow I'd be able to figure out that those other 9 percent probably didn't like it in the first place.
