When is the time for Bush supporters to voice their opinions about what our policies should be?

Any time. All the time. But be mindful of who is listening. The toddler-minded media and Kennedy-kissing lefties are ready to use your words.

In public I show support and an undivided front, but my senator and congressman hear from me too.

As we have seen from the Democrats, there is more than one way to express one's differences with the President's policies. It can be done with thinly-veiled hate (recall the Wellstone funerally, etc. ad nauseum), with disdain, with wit, with objectively-stated analysis. When you disagree with someone who is otherwise "on your side," it seems to me that the point is best made by suggesting that the President is "misguided," "has not been made aware of all of the facts," and using similar means of expression, rather than using personal "democrat-like" attacks. Does any right-minded conservative think that Bush wants to hurt the country by his immigration and education policies (both of which I disagree with)? The personal attack should be the primary means of identifying democrats, not conservatives. Even when we disagree with the libs, logic is on our side, and we should be able to dismantle their arguments through the use of that logic, rather than attacking them personally (which is not really very sporting, is it? I mean, hey, they are SUCH easy targets).
