And once again, he has not 'squandered' votes of his base. He still has 90% of his base

If this is true then why do so many on FR get upset anytime anybody talks about staying home or voting for somebody else?

I'm trying to reconcile this, and not taking a poke at you - I have openly discussed not voting and/or writing in somebody or voting for somebody else, and have all but been labeled a danger to this country and been told that my vote will put a democrat in the WH (nevermind that I'm in Texas, lol).

If he has 90% of his base, those who get upset when somebody discusses not voting for him should chill out.

Exactly. Besides, where does that number come from? I have seen his approval ratings drop 10% in 30 days, and conservative talk shows (Rush, etc.) are swamped with calls from hopping mad conservatives over Bush's spending and immigration policies. The Bush people are seriously underestimating how mad people are over this immigration thing. A Super-majority of Americans want the borders CONTROLLED - and NOW.

Good question.

I get upset because I remember the HORROR of 8 years of xlinton........and the conservatives who helped give them to us.

While I really don't think there are enough of these fringees to make President Bush lose, there are many of them who are ACTIVELY trying to convince others (lurkers who read FR) that Bush is dangerous/socialist/whatever in order to defeat him in November.

Some are doing so with their own list of 'facts' that are often outright false, and THAT is why I spend time debunking their claims.

I believe that President Bush is most likely going to win in a landslide, because when most Americans get in that voting booth, they are going to vote for their safety and future, and it will be for George W. Bush.

BUT, I am going to work as though he is the underdog. It is THAT important to me to KEEP a DEMOCRAT out of the White House.
