At that time he had over 90% of Republican support, and deservedly so, because he had stood strong for America in the war on terror (which he is still doing), and he had cut our taxes and made multiple pro-life, pro-morality decisions that were very conservative, as well as rejecting Kyoto and the World Court.
As to whether or not he is a conservative down the line, the answer to that is an obvious no. But if you made the decision not to vote Republican ever again after two years, you should have never voted for a Republican before, because he was being as Conservative a President as we had ever had.
And to tell the truth, with the change in the judiciary due to his leadership and conservatism, this country will move more notably to the right because of Bush than it did because of Reagan.
"because he was being as Conservative a President as we had ever had."
Ever had? You might want to rethink that. Reagan was far more conservative than Bush ever thought about being.
I would like to think that his judicial appointees will bring the court back to the right but both parties have been screwed by their appointees.
I have voted straight Republican ticket since Nixon was going for his second term but you say I was wrong in doing that. So now you and I get what you want, I won't vote Rep except for Tancredo.
Like one posters tagline says "I didn't leave the Republican Party, they left me." And until they start governing conservatively I'll look elsewhere for somebody I want to vote for. No more of this lessor of 2 evils crap. I am not a Republican Party patsy.
