I don't want a defeat of conservative politicians, and that's what Bush is on his way in doing by his virtually complete abandonment of his base.

Your suggestion of "just leave the party" is what will guarantee a defeat, because I am not the only one angry with Bush.

There are a lot of conservative republican voters who are not happy with him.

and that's what Bush is on his way in doing by his virtually complete abandonment of his base.

He hasn't abandoned his base; his base is still waiting to see about this woman; the unappeasables are the ones who have abandoned the party.

And I said "just leave the party" because I'm sick of sitting here watching you all blackmail the GOP with your votes.

Quite simply put, you cannot be counted on.
