Many things are predictable here and elsewhere. That has nothing to do with their truth or falsity. I read your post before posting mind and paid no attention to it.
Those who cannot see the big picture and the absolute necessity to keep the RATS from ever regaining the levers of power are either: good hearted but easily confused and manipulated people, out right Leftists who dedicate their lives to Bush hatred, or Psuedo-Conservatives who are perpetually pissed off and have never supported the President OR any other candidate capable of getting over 2% of the vote.
Bush has implemented conservative ideals beginning with the most important: Fighting those who would destroy the Nation, cutting taxes, implementing a rational foreign policy and reigning in an out of control Judicial system.
Policies which the Perpetually Pissed Off whine about are secondary and only become important when the three MAJOR policies have failed. Efforts by the Treason Media to deflect the awareness of the nation into Bush Hatred are directed at the most conservative president we have ever had (including Reagan.) Why would anyone claiming to be conservative join the mindless mob of Bush haters?
In this case it is like a sports fan furious because his team is only winning by three touchdowns with 10 minutes left in the game when he thinks they should be up by five so he demands the coach be fired and eleven players be recruited from the stands to play in place of the first team. Such people are and always will be politically irrelevant.
As for me, I maxed out financially for the Pres when he ran, and contributed substantially to his re-election. How much did you put in?
I also put in time for him, and other candidates to help him. I have never supported a third party, given money to one, or cast a vote for one.
With regards to the most conservative President ever, including Reagan, I only ask: how many new entitlements did Reagan create? In fact, how many new entitlements did Carter create? How about Clinton?
As you well know, the answer is zero.
It is only the most conservative President ever, as you say, who gets the distinction of creating the first entitlement since LBJ. If that's conservatism in your mind, then it's not me that is mixed up.
I have never criticized him on any aspect of foreign policy. I think he is great on that. But as I noted earlier, FDR was good there, also...and Truman had an aggressive Cold War policy. Those things are not enough to make one a conservative. I have also praised his appellatte court appointments, and was a fan of Alito way before GWB even knew who he was. These are all home runs (though the Miers thing made me worried).
I will continue to support the President when he is right. But not when he's wrong. And I'm certainly not going to accept as fact that he's a conservative. He's not. That doesn't make him a liberal. He's simply a man who is guided primarily by his sense of pragmatism and what he thinks is right at a given moment. For whatever merits that way of thinking has, it certainly isn't a conservative point of view.
As for the politics of all this, I may well be wrong and I surely hope so. But it appears to me that the chances of the GOP hanging on to the House are right now, at best, 50-50. Leadership starts at the top. If we lose it, it will be at least in part, the fault of the man who is the head of the party. (But, it won't be the end of the world...we'll become an effective opposition which might actually reign in socialism).
