The difference between the two is getting to be somewhat blurry. I wish GWB would return to his consevative roots, instead of hispandering and pandering to get reelected. He earned my vote in 2000 by standing on conservative principles. His shift to the left has caused me to reevaluate my support for him.

I don't see Bush as "pandering". He has ALWAYS held these standards. His words have ALWAYS matched his actions. Look at his record as Texas Governor.

He SHOULD have honored the Texas Constitution and the US Constitution by instituting Vermont/Alaska style concealed carry. It would've fit perfectly with the spirit of individuality and self reliance that have been halmarks of the Texan mystique. But NOOOOO, we had to have background checks. An all day class. Renewal fees. Restrictions and a whole host of bureaucratic nonsense just to exercise a basic HUMAN RIGHT.

Anyone thinking Bush was on the average a "pretty conservative guy" to begin with was not paying attention. He IS however, extraordinarily honest. If he says he will re-sign an AWB bill, then he will. Period. It won't matter what kind of letter writing campaign we engage in. He doesn't govern by the poll numbers.

At least I can respect his honesty and integrity. Now if he would just READ the GODD@MN Constitution...
