I can't wait till all the Bushbots start attacking me while I was one of those who spent weeks of unpaid time volunteering for the GOP in 2000 and 2004.

I vote for the agenda, not the man. GWB is not God or my master, as it seems some consider him. I volunteered because I believed GWB was a conservative who believed in small gov't etc etc.

I remember having this sick feeling in my stomach right after he was re-elected and he was on his immigration amensty plan.

The problem as I see it is that GWB has helped usher in a new level of gov't spending unfathomable during the Clinton years which will only snowball if a RAT gets in there.

1. George Bush was very up front about his plans, including the "No Child Left Behind" bill. If you were unaware of it, there is no one to fault but yourself.

2. Please detail the increased levels of spending in non-military areas (excluding the hurricane, which has not yet been determined).

3. Since I am a Bushbot, what are you? I am sure you think you are a "principled conservative", but for my part I think you are an anti-Bush person who climbs on the Bush-bashing bandwagon and imagines himself a martyr.

who's YOUR candidate for 2008? How conservative do you think he or she will be?

Knocking Bush right now doesn't help anyone, even you "principled conservatives." If you continue to work to erode the President's position, you will end up endangering the majority in the House and Senate, which if we lose will guarantee that not ANYTHING you want will come to pass. In addition, you just might get Hillary along with a democrat Congress. And if you think we would be able to repeat 1994 and take Congress back, you are exceedingly foolish.

We are in a political war. You have to choose a side and support it; you don't have the luxury of sitting on the sidelines and gripiing that things aren't perfect.

So, who is your preferred candidate for 2008. Speak right up and let us know who you think will do a better job.

Dubya & the GOP are lucky in the respect that (astonishingly) the dems have been unable to capitalize on his underwhelming 2005 and translate that into electoral support in the dems.

If there is a silver lining, that's it. As much as Dubya has alienated a good portion of the electorate, the dems have been unable to win those folks over.

It's repairable. But he has to start acting like he wants to repair it.

This is not a Bush bashing post, but some 'tough love.' :-)
