"Last I checked, the title is President of the United States, not president of the Republicans, or Democrats, or conservatives, or liberals, or libertarians, etc. Even before Washington was elected our first president — in fact, during the debates as the Constitution was being written — the hallmark of the presidency was that it was to be the one national elective office that represented ALL the people and ALL the states."

Granted.
This voter wouldn't have it any other way.

"A president has to call each issue like he sees it, all the while knowing that in a nation as vast as this, it is inevitable that at least a few million people will disagree with him on nearly every decision."

Yes, you're absolutely correct, again.
Just bear in mind this voter "has to call each issue like he sees it," also.
OK?

"Fair-minded people who claim to be (or to have been) suporters of a president will evaluate the totality of that president's record."

You got that right, neighbor.
Yes you do.

"In the case of George W. Bush, on a host of issues, this has been the most conservative president since Ronald Reagan. In some respects, more conservative."

Well more than Jimmy Carter, anyway.

I just hope my beloved GOP realizes what the bottom line is, here; &, the consequences of decisions clearly going against the grain of conservative "principles" will be as sure as God made little green apples.
OK?

While I admire party loyalty & would never even consider attacking one for their embrace of it?
Fact is there's a potential disaster looming, and it won't happen because the GOP wasn't repeatedly warned by her base.
OK?

...that's how this voter sees it.
