Precisely. This needs to be pounded home on every naysaying thread that pops its head up on FR. Frankly, considering the pragmatic conservatism of Jim Rob and the folks who oversee this site, I wouldn't be surprised if they start banning some of the more obstreperous Bush-bashers, or at least start pulling posts. I mean, how many times a day does a post need to go up criticizing Bush's immigration proposal, for example. It's the same old arguments, the same old posters, the same old stridency, the same old negativity, the same old venom. Why is it allowed? Nothing new has been said by the Bashers in weeks. At some point (and I think we've passed the point), all of the objections to Bush have been said, and it simply becomes counterproductive to allow them to continue to spew on this site.
On the other hand, a post like this one highlights Bush's conservative values for all to see. In the face of this information, for the bashers to continue to argue that "Bush isn't conservative," rather than the more reasonable position that "he isn't as conservative as I'd like him to be," is frankly, idiotic, or worse. I question their motives.
Mega-dittos to that!!!!
