I really don't think conservatives will let the likes of kerry, the most liberal senator, to become President. They will come out for Bush on November 2nd.

"I don't think there's any question that there is growing restiveness in the Republican base about this war," said Halper, the co-author of a new book, "America Alone: The Neoconservatives and the Global Order."

Ah. I see.

Some flunkie in the State Department under Reagan is touted as a key conservative?

Are they really conservatives on do they just claim to be one. I'm not staying home in November and Bush/Cheny get my vote. I just hope those socialist liberals only vote once like I do and that people in their graves aren't voting. Don't laugh it happens.

I tend to agree. But, still I wouldn't let anything go to chance.

Big choice: Kerry or Bush...now that's a hard one. (end/sarcasm)

What so called conservative would vote for Kerry or abstain from voting for Bush (which is in essence a vote for Kerry.)

Anybody who says they're thinking of doing this has absolutely no credibility as a conservative.

That's my two cents!!!

I agree. There are any number of things I could critisize the president over. That doen't mean that I would by idiotic enough to think the two Johns are even worth considering.

I didn't know that the GOP had a French wing.

I'm just waiting for the article entitled "Some key Liberals Uneasy About Kerry". I bet you we see that one right after Mike Wallace does a 60 Minutes exclusive on Kerry's radical, pro-life beliefs ("I am against abortion, I think life begins at conception...). This article is negative innuendo and nothing more.

Conservatives are voting for Bush. Period.

The spineless listed above in the article complaining that every action hasn't been 100% flawless are those that cannot wait to stand by The President's side when they perceive him to be in a position of strength. Reagan had his detractors, Bush has his. Whether they claim conservatism as a cause is irrelevant.

Not everyone agrees with every policy. Right now is gift time. Each constituent bargains their support for government funds to support their pet peeve projects. When all is said and done every moderate and conservative will be behind the President.

So the war is "not going well"? First of all,who says so?

Let these "key conservatives" vote for kerry. He will make it all better.

A Pew Research Center poll last month found that 97 percent of conservative Republicans favored Bush over Kerry.

There is no "there" there. Time to move on. That 97% must have all been brainwashed by those evil neocons or something.

Bush's biggest problem is he has not been resolute enough, too willing to give credence to the UN and too kind to our enemies in Fallujah, Tehran and Damascus. Had he shown more toughness, towards our enemies and his Demorat critics, he would be doing better, just like Reagan when he defined the enemy and stood resolute in the face of 'rats and a hostile press.

He was at his best when he was at his toughest, in the days after 9/11 when he told everyone that they were either with us or with the terrorists. By playing nice, he turns off those who cheered that attitude, and he doesn't gain the votes of anyone who is moderate in this fight for our lives.

He has to choose whether to be Reagan or his father. Right now, he's somewhere in between. As a result, this election will be somewhere in between 1984 and 1992. It should be 1984. He is the man who has kicked the terrorists' butts in 2 wars and kept America safe, and who has conquered the recession he inherited. He should be reelected by acclamation. But instead, he will win, but will have to work hard for it. And if he makes any big mistakes, it could get close. I don't think he will lose, but I was hoping for a landslide of 1984 proportions, one that picks up lots of Senate and House seats.

That said, there is another type of conservative voice against the war, the Brent Scowcroft/Grover Norquist wing. There are the pro-Arab types who got too friendly with the enemy during the cold war, and haven't adjusted to the clash of civilizations. The people cited in the above article seem to be of this type. Ignore them, they are either bought off by Saudi money or not able to adapt to new realities.

Voices that perhaps need to be heard?

For what? So they can bitch and bellyache?

There's nothing that can be done about the war now except to bolster the government and help them.

What do these doofuses think they'll accomplish by electing Kerry?

The idiocy that passes for "principle" with some of these far right-wingers just astounds me.

They'll stay home and pout, and think somebody will give a damn.

They ARE being heard. They don't need to be agreed with, as their opinions are absurd.
