See what I mean, Czar. Not a peep of protest from all the Bushies on this site. They've abandoned Bush like rats-fleeing-from-a-sinking-ship. I feel sorry for all the good, decent conservatives who were betrayed by this liberal Bush. About the only thing "conservative" about Bush is his stand on abortion, but abortion is about number 100 on my list of priorities. And look at the hopeless mess he dragged us into in Iraq, and under false pretenses no less (does anybody still remember "weapons of mass destruction"?). The country of Iraq has been a hopeless mess for centuries. It will continue to be a hopeless mess, no matter how many BILLIONS of dollars Bush wastes invading it, or however many American lives are lost defending it, or whatever stupid piece of paper Constitution he writes up to try and organize these hopelessly barbaric people. Iraq will be just as much a hopeless mess after we leave, if not moreso. Thats just the facts, people. You can figure that out now, or later. Theres no third option. Meanwhile, this dunce Bush spends BILLIONSs to secure Iraq's border, while at least 40 million illegal immigrants have invaded our OWN border. Which Bush has done nothing -- NOTHING!! -- to prevent. In fact, his "solution" is to give amnesty to these alien invaders. Bush has got to go. Even the Bushies on this site have realized that, sadly.
Having said that, I no longer have any illusions about him being a conservative. That's simply what he ran on. Unfortunately, the record he has compiled to date, though not entirely without some conservative progress, has been largely that of a moderate at best (and I am being charitable here)--some would argue a liberal. He has been a disappointment to me and to all loyal American conservatives. He is going to be leaving behind a GOP with virtually no conservative support in the years ahead.
