Yet another "misunderestimation" of President Bush.

It is a pity that former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is not pro-life and does not support traditional marriage. If he did take traditional positions on these issues, I surely could support him for the Republican nomination in 2008.

He’s also a BIG believer in the “only the cops need guns” school of thought.

"Even Senator John McCain (R-AZ), for whom I have little respect as a Senator..."

I agree with Weyrich.

Former Iowa Rep. Fred Grandy pointed out that accusing people of mental instability is what the Communists did when someone defected from the party.

Is that the guy from "The Love Boat"?

Yes. "Gopher," as memory serves.

"You know what cracks me up? Democrats saying that Miller turned off Republicans!"

Zell Miller only confirmed what millions of Reagan Democrats across the country already knew. I'm one - I watched Zell and nodded along, saying "its about time this was said in public".

Thanks Zell.

Re: the passage you highlighted -- David Horowitz makes an interesting observation in his book Radical Son, that the Left treats its defectors very differently than the right (as an ex-radical lefty who was part of their establishment, he ought to know). Leftists who switch sides are totally ostracized by their former comrades, friendships are dissolved, the person is disowned and expelled from the community, and often, as we see here, his mental health is called into question. It's like leaving a gang or a cult.

Okay, sorry. Always remind myself to refresh before posting to make sure that a question hasn't already been answered 27 times before I answer...

So it was Gopher then? Anyway thanks to all for responding. From this I am guessing he is a Republican. Cool.

Thanks for posting this. Weyrich is a big man indeed to admit he was wrong.

Frankly, sir, I don't give a damn about your opinion.

You chose to criticize the president during this time of grave peril to the United States and yes, to the world.

Fred was a moderately conservative Congressman. Left Congress when he ran in the GOP primary for IA Governor in 1994 (lost to incumbent Gov. Terry Branstad)

Weyrich's been bent out of shape for about fifteen years. I don't know why conservatives give him so much deference any longer. He's never right, about anything.

Back in 1999, just before Bush started running for office, Weyrich put out a screed recommending that Christians retreat from politics and political discussion.

I don't doubt that some of the low turnout among evangelicals in 2000 was due to Weyrich's goofy advice.
