You'r a relative newcomer, so you can be pardoned for not knowing the lay of the land.
I went to the mat with the PTB here on FR defending Bush, and I left for a while as the result of the Great Schism.
So my bonafides as a Bush supporter are sound.
But, dammit, if Bush isn't going to defend himself then there's nothing we can do to help him.
I have to see some sign that he really wants to be reelected and isn't just foing through the motions like his father did.
Untoil the people in the national GOP get the idea that all isn't sweetness and light here in fly-over country then there will be no fix possible.
So give us your omnipotent wisdom of what Bush should do. Sheesh, Rumsfeld ain't going anywhere. He gave him a big endorsement.
JMO, but you are too busy reading every damn liberal article about Bush and then scream he isn't defending himself.
Take a break away from liberal papers and other media sources for awhile, they are getting to you, IMO.
I believe Gore won Illinois by almost 11 points in 2000...You are not in the typical Bush supporting state. What you hear around you isn't what I hear in Texas...unless you count the typical liberal rags.
