The party faithful are in a difficult mood. GWB is the best one running that can seriously win, but with immigration and the out of control spending there is a lot to concern a conservative.

The party faithful are in a difficult mood. GWB is the best one running that can seriously win, but with immigration and the out of control spending there is a lot to concern a conservative.

There's also a lot to please a conservative. Welcome to the forum.

"There is frustration among some conservatives, but mostly it is focused in the think tanks here," says Ed Gillespie, the Republican Party chairman. "I'm keeping my ear to the ground. But I do not believe we're at a point where concern translates into turnout problems."

Chairman Gillespie stated something very troubling here. He only cares about the conservatives if he is afraid that there are "turnout problems"? That's all we are to him?....a commodity that he has to be sure will show up on election day?

Ohmygosh...what a dumb thing to say.

I am not upset with Bush over immigration. Its the illegals and border issue that bothers me.

Nah -- this is just a push-story (a story published for the purpose of CREATING a further rift).

We have enough to be concerned, but not enough to vote for a third party (or sit home) and screw ourselves even worse by putting the likes of KERRY in office.

Not to mention his pushing to extend the stupit assault weopons ban. I may sit out the next election if he doesn't start acting like a Republican again.I have about 4 letters from the Bush campain on my desk. I will not send any more money unless he starts embracing his party.
