LOL - Guess you weren't around for Reagan. Many conservatives, including myself, don't think too highly of President Bush. We overlooked alot for one reason, to realign the courts with strict constructionist judges who understand the limits of the courts power.
With the nomination of Miers, President Bush has frustrated a significant percentage of his base and we have decided that no - we aren't going to overlook his poor leadership any longer.
The massive government expansion that has taken place under his watch must stop and be reversed. The limits placed on political speech must be removed. Fiscal responsibility must become a priority. Constructionist judges must be nominated to the supreme court. </Rant>

Yes, I was around for Reagan. He made a lot of mistakes too, I remember well. He turned and ran from Beruit (we're still paying for that one) and he gave amenisty to the illegals and caused that problem as well. None the less, he was a grand president and ended the cold war.
I don't remember republicans turning on him though even though we are still suffering the results of some of his actions.
I haven't seen this kind of thing since the stupid Brits turned on Maggie Thatcher and the result was they have been out of power in Britain ever since. The conservative movement there is completely and thoroughly dead. What few Tories remain make McCain look like a John Birtcher. Is that where you guys really want to go?

Many conservatives, including myself, don't think too highly of President Bush.And now you're trying to wreck the GOP because of YOUR tunnel vision and one issue agenda.
You probably never supported him in the first place.
