Bush shows himself to be indifferent, if not hostile, to conservative values.

I received a "begging and pleading for money" email from Ken Mehlman, head of the RNC tonight. In my response to him I really beat on this hard.

I am first and foremost a conservative. It just so happens that, of the major, worth voting for parties, the Republican Party aligns itself most closely with my views.

I can no longer believe that President Bush is a conservative. Oh, he has some conservative qualities. But he is not a true, dyed in the wool conservative.

My bottom line to Ken: no moolah until the RNC comes back home to it's conservative roots.

And I'll be shocked and awed if that happens.

Indeed. I'm in the same camp as you. The GOP gave us Bush against Kerry......some choice. Conservatives were burnt by the first Bush and you'd think we would learn that apples usually don't fall far from their tree's. The GOP is and has been the Gestation of "Progressiveness" instead of the "Grand Old Party" for quite awhile. Reagan being the notable exception.
