I live in North Massachusetts (formerly New Hampshire)- I never thought I would say this but myself and a lot of other conservatives up here are considering voting against Bush.

A lot of excellent points have been made in this thread about how and why we should support Bush. He has accomplished some significant things BUT he keeps initiating programs whose financial impact will last far longer and be far more burdensome than any good from his temporary tax cuts.

We think his foreign program is excellent as long as he sticks to it (even that is looking shakey). But Bush's domestic initiatives combined with his yielding presitige and power to the Kennedys, Clintons, and the rest of the left supported by the REPUBLICAN and RINO majority (spineless Hatch, globe-trotting Dr. Frist) makes supporting the Republicans look pointless.

Bush is handicapped by his small majority but he has spent and sponsored legislation that GREATLY increases the size and power of the federal government in programs that can not and will not be stopped or reversed.

IF his grand strategy was to cut off chunks of liberal and Democrat special interests - from what we gather during 'intelligence gathering' excursions into Massachusetts and discussions with the mind-numbed robots there - it appears that the gain has been far smaller and far less significant than the price. Conservatives win by being conservatives NOT weak-kneed liberals.

While it is too early to write off the next election, next fall will NOT be pretty.

I heard you twice the first time ;->

When you cut and paste Democratic talking points, it's usually considered polite to do so only once per thread.
