I don't agree with everything the White House is doing and I don't understand it. Still the fact remains this country won't be turned around on a dime. Its slow, hard work reducing the deficit and taming the monster called government. It took 60 years to build it up. Rome wasn't built in a day. Conservatives need to look past the Bush Administration and focus on a long-term strategy, the way the Democrats did when they ran this country. I'm not one of those who thinks we'll get to where we want to be in twenty years. I'm as patient as the Left when it comes to attaining one's objectives.

Conservatives need to look past the Bush Administration

I respect your comments in general, but the Bush Administration has accelerated the growth of government.

I agree with you on the3 idea, but disagree on the method. The left incrementally moved us to a socialistic society. I would expect that to move us away from that, little steps should bre taken to shrink the size, role, and scope of government, etc. We are not doing that, we are only continuiong the left's agenda with another party in power. I have no delusions about that, but this Medicare plan, immigration plan, refusal to cut spending, etc, is getting way out of control. And yes, Bush can lose this November if he continues this craziness.

Why do we have to assume that? We have a President who could, if he wanted to, enforce the law on illegal immigration, work to get rid of the education department, cut spending, etc....But he chooses to show is big government, socialist side. He thumbs his nose at his conservative base and panders to the left.

You are not addressing the issues. I am a staunch conservative, but if I just sat by and dismissed what this administration is doing I would be no better than what the Democrats were under Clinton. W needs to be held accountable by his constituency that worked so hard to get him where he is today.

But Bush isn't even trying to turn to the right!

CFR
No Child Left Behind
Medicare expansion
NEA funding
Wetback amnesty

Just when should conservatives expect to see an ATTEMPT to pull the country back from the brink of socialism?

Fine, but the GOP is not even trying. I don't see how co-opting the left is supposed to be an attempt to turn us back to the right.
