I don't think we're divided. I do think we disagree on a few things.
I agree with Rush. This isn't a "crack up, it's a crack down". Pity the more moderate faction of the Democrat party isn't willing to do the same thing.
We knew Bush wasn't a hard core conservative when we elected him, so why do we expect him to turn into one now? We knew he had the best chance of defeating Al Gore, and therefore we chose him as our candidate in the primary (I will admit, however, that I didn't vote for him in that primary). In the general election, he was obviously the better of the two choices, and that hasn't changed. It is time for us to stop whining about Bush's lack of conservative ideals, and start planning to elect a real conservative in the 2008 election.
"I don't think we're divided. I do think we disagree on a few things."
No, we are divided and will remain that way until he locks the damn door that he's holding open for the illegal aliens.
>>If they don't believe that she is capable, they can vote her down. They have that power.<<
That would take some strong backbone and the only Republican who has that backbone was just arrested.
I don't know... I'm starting to think we ARE divided.
Those that support the party no matter what, no matter who "stabs them in the back" nor how many times they are betrayed.
And those that believe in accountability and expect those they helped get elected do their very best to fulfill their promises.
No, I'm not talking about Harriet Miers, I'm willing to keep an open mind on that for a while longer... and just hope it is a masterful stroke of strategery.
OK, I'll agree with the "house divided against itself can not stand" thing.... But when the house becomes infested with RINOs and CINOs*; If you find out that the bedrock that you thought the foundation was built on is really shifting sand... Maybe it is time to move to a new house, or at least do a major rebuilding job and pump a bunch of cement into the ground and reinforce the base..
Fortunately for the GOP, there is no practical alternative for thinking people to go to, so I don't think that we will have another Perot type situation.
But as much I financially supported, AND worked as a full-time volunteer last election; And have been a staunch defender of the Administration and the GOP in general for the last ... well, forever...
I'm getting so I'm starting to feel like I did prior to 1999; Anger because I have to choose between the "lesser of two evils". (No, I'm not calling President Bush evil).
I shouldn't have to feel like that, and I shouldn't have to "sit down and shut up" because some people think that the potential of a President Hillary trumps my right to tell my elected representatives what I believe is best for the Nation and my right to withhold donations when their behavior is counter to my conservative beliefs.
