The conservatives are outraged -- about Bush At the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, foot soldiers of the right rail against the big-government, free-spending ways of the White House By Michelle Goldberg

You can't even garner a respectable percentage of primary votes for your candidates. So what, pray tell, are you accomplishing?
You can keep the argument going that Bush is no better than a Democrat, but you know in your heart that is not true. He may have disappointed you a few too many times, but surely you don't believe you'd be happier with a Kerry or a Dean in the WH.
If you think that a Republican House and Senate will prevent a liberal Democrat from his diabolical schemes, think again.
If you can't think of anything else, tell me where we might be today if Gore had been in the WH on that September in 2001. Tell me where the partial birth abortion ban would be today.
Are you gleeful about depriving our troops of a president they respect and who cares about our military?
I doubt any of you unappeasables really care about some things that really do matter and are bigger than your pet peeves. It's all about you and your unattainable (at present) demands and you can't see past that.
You advance nothing with your attitude except highlighting the ugly side of conservatism.
I suppose most people struggle with compromise, but life's experiences teach us that sometimes it is the only way to move the ball toward the right goal.
You folks would rather kick it to the other team or sit on it in the middle of the field.
Libertarians??? I think not. The RINOs better get their heads out of the ... sand, and look at what is happening.
The country is stinking rotten from liberalism and moderate RINO capitulation to the left and globalism.
A right-wing tsunami is coming because the country needs a political bath. By 2008, it will smell bad enough for a majority to vote for a change.
No. If conservatives continue to vote for a Republican party that is trending liberal, it will continue to get more liberal.
Sure. Whatever. All 2 percent of you.
Here's a novel idea: instead of coming on these threads and repeating worn out drivel, why not get the facts?
Bush offered ALL of the filibustered (yes, that's how it is spelled) nominees the chance to be recess appointed; they all turned him down except Pickering.
And Estrada withdrew his name.
Pesky details, I know, but it helps to keep the sensible people's eye on the ball.
I have little or nothing to do with it, and I wasn't personally attacking you.
It is simply a matter of demographics and trends. I'd like to never see another Democrat politician or bureaucrat, and next to that I'd like to never see another liberal-turned-RINO politician or bureaucrat.
The 2004 elections, all of them, the White House and supermajorities in the House and the Senate, were the Republicans to lose. It looks like they are determined to lose them all.
Even if you get one hundred people to agree with you on this thread, it won't change the fact that Conservatives all over the country ,and by the droves are upset with President Bush's domestic polices, and that fact could cost him the election.
I wish is weren't so, but I don't blame the people on the right who are upset. It is obvious to anyone ,that the President's stance on immigration would not go over with most Conservatives let alone moderate Democrats.
So, whose fault is it that this is now a campaign issue, and it isn't even in front of Congress. It was not a smart move.And I for one am praying that President Bush will get the message and fix this mess before it is too late.
Razor-tongued right-wing darling Michelle Malkin stood before a cheering crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday and denounced George Bush's new immigration policy. Her voice oozing contempt, she described Bush as "Clintonian" for claiming to oppose amnesty in his State of the Union speech. She held up an orange sign with Bush's words, "I oppose amnesty," written on it. Then she ripped it up and roared, "What part of amnesty doesn't he understand?"
Thank you, Michelle Malkin!
I'd love to hear you explain how no more than 9 percent of the Republican Party is a tsunami.
... that should give any conservative with a single brain cell pause to double-check if they're perspective is warped.
Is that so? Determined to lose them all, huh?
Could you enlighten us on that strategy? You must know something we don't.
Or is it that big tsunami that is going to knock them right out of office and elect their opponents?
Thank you for a simple statement of common sense and sanity.
