Exactly. And most thinking conservatives, including myself, followed the above during Reagan's Presidency and the SR. Bush - in fact for EVERY presidency. Why would we or should we do anything differently for GW?
BTW, I marvel at your responses on this thread. They are the most intelligent, rational, logical and comical bar none. Keep up the excellent work.
Key phrase: "Most thinking conservatives." ;-)
Your last point is well taken as well...
You and I simply expect the tenets of the GOP to be followed by Republican legislators....
Even when the King (R) is wearing no clothes, WE shall REFUSE wear blinders out of "loyalty." Dubya Bush is NO exception to the rule.
Furthermore, not only shall ALL Republicans be examined more closely than Dems because others (as indicated by this forum) automatically give too many free passes, but because we expect more from Republicans, they WILL hear our voice.
