President Bush is President until January ?, 2009. How you voted in 2004 has no more weight regarding his administration than it will in 2008, so your opinion just doesn't matter except to add to the noise which makes you all sound more like Princess Pelosi than a true conservative.

I can say that because I'm a Democrat and I don't like her anymore than you like President Bush...and I can't shut her up and don't want to add to the abuse heaped on a decent man doing a tough job with lousy help from his friends. I sure as hell wouldn't want any of your kind covering my back.

....I'm a Democrat....

I knew there had to be a reason you're so obnoxious.

Despite your cold-water-tossing, Bush knows that his legacy is the prisoner of his ability to work with his base, and that he can't throw it away, or he'll wind up like Gerald Ford. He doesn't want that, but he hasn't yet accepted that he can't push Gerald Ford policies and still engage the Right.

So, yes, conservatives can still have an influence, even on the Republican Yacht Club, as long as we still keep having elections.

Pace you.
