If we reward Bush with unearned support, we will get 'more of the same'. Shrieking that "the Democrats are coming!" is just a bogeyman tactic, and a false one at that since the RINOs are already here.
Bush is not a conservative; he's not even much of a Republican; who he resembles most closely is FDR, who was strong on defense but saw federal programs as the best way to deal with the country's problems.

He's got my vote this time around, although I am unhappy with his spending, at least the House looks like they'll take it on.
2008? We'll have to see.

Good job, Mr. Lincoln!
Not everyone here is a Kerry supporter although it seems like it in this thread so far.

Having said all that, I intend to do whatever I can to reelect President Bush.
Well, at least it's interesting to see where in the text the author decides to plant this well-worn phrase.

If there is a problem it is not a problem caused by conservatives. It is our President doing a pretty good immitation of a wacko leftist with his domestic spending. Stop lecturing us. Lecture him.

I'm sick of being told - shut up and vote. Well I won't shut up and I may not vote. Deal with it.

Bush proved to be every bit as much a big spending liberal as the dems.
Vote for him again? No sale!

I'm with you. I'm as annoyed as anyone with GW's domestic policies, which have been mostly designed to steal issues from the Democrats. This mostly means enacting their policies before they do it themselves.
Of course with a 50-50 country, and a 50-50 congress, with at least half a dozen Repubs guaranteed to vote Democrat on any issue, you can only rule if you manage to get at least a handful of Democrats to cross the line your way. That is the conundrum. Our problem isn't that Bush is not conservative enough, our problem is that if he were conservative enough, he would never have been elected in the first place. Our problem is that at least half of our neighbors do not believe in the things we believe in, and fewer do as time goes on.
But Gore would not have rejected the Kyoto Treaty. Gore would not have rejected the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction over US agents. Gore would not have acted against the UN's will in Iraq and Afghanistan. Gore would not have overthrown Saddam. He would probably not have overthrown the Taliban. He would most likely have continued the previous policy of treating guerilla attacks as a criminal matter, and would probably tried to have handled it all through the Hague.
Saddam would be in his palace, Khadaffi would be building his nukes, we would still be tied to the Saudis in order to continue our failing policy of containing Saddam when even our allies no longer respected the containment.
If Kerry takes office all of those things will happen. The UN will direct our foreign policy, and our troops. Our troops will be within the jurisdiction of Belgian and Dutch and Spanish judges. The UN which has proven itself inept in Rwanda, the Congo, and the Balkans will be placed in charge of Iraq and the Baath will return to power within his first term of office.
As for the rest, the domestic issues that drive me nuts, there is nothing to be done unless and until I am able to send a Republican senator to Washington from my state, which is impossible because I am well in the minority here, ideologically speaking. So GW will have to work with the tools we send him.

Where were the Conservative defectors when Reagan failed to abolish the Department of Education?

As upset at GWB as I get, there is absolutly no doubt whom I, and my family will be voting for.
That is a no brainer, and anyone here in Freeper Land that tells you different, isn't placing this country before their paltry little issues.
Quite frankly, all the postulating is utter stupidity, as there is no one electable running that will do more for this United States than George Walker Bush.

One can only imagine the kind of social activist judges and Supreme Court justices that would be appointed by the Democratic nominee. The Federal Judiciary will begin to resemble the lunacy of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. Can any responsible citizen sit home and allow the judiciary to lunge to the Left? This alone should energize conservatives. The dismantling of all religious tradition or symbolism in public life is likely to continue with a Democratic President and a liberal judiciary.
This is why I'll be voting Republican.

To the third party lovers and those who wish to stay home on election day rather than vote for President Bush:
John Kerry has said he will not go to war unless the UN says it is okay.
So if we are attacked by say, Syria, you can expect that we will not engage them in a war but will rather live with UN resolutions.
If that's okay with you, I think you deserve what you get and do hope you don't show up on this forum afterwards to complain.

To: Lando Lincoln
Kerry and the other RAT candidates for US president intend to turn over defense of our country to the UN. And it appears that the 'real' conservatives view this as an acceptable alternative to reelecting President George Bush, the most dogged and fierce defender of American freedom we have had in decades. I wonder at the mentality of those who seem to think they are doing George Bush a favor if they vote for his reelection. Or that they are punishing him by, one way or another, electing a RAT communist symp. It is our own hides at stake. Not to mention the existence of America as we know it.
