There may be some of that, but there's also a campaign to keep conservatives on the Republican plantation. Immigration and President Bush's domestic programs are what conservatives are rebeling over.

Did you read the Dem's proposal for immigration reform, which just came out yesterday? It's pure and total immediate amnesty.
Bush was doing a preemptive strike on that one, and on many of his other programs.
I think this arts suggestion is actually quite good - I'd love to see classic American theater taught in the schools again, to replace the "Vagina Monologues."
My feeling is not that all Bush's proposals are perfect, but that they have potential and are a genuine attempt to deal with genuine problems. They are certainly open to discussion. But irrationally rejecting any change to the status quo is going to bring back the Dems, and then we're really going to be hurting.
