I think it is the Congress we have to worry about... George is never running for anything again.

This meme is getting pushed *WAY* too hard by the Old Media.

I call horse apples.

The 2006 electoral strategy is awesome: vote for a Republican Party that has stabbed you in the back or you'll end up getting shot by the Democrat Party you never voted for.

Awesome. They can all stuff it.

If your so worried about it then I suggest you make sure the GOP hears our warning. There is still time to show us they want our votes, if they choose to ignore it then it's on them if Kerry or Clinton walks away with it.

There are also significant pockets of conservatives turning on Bush and Congress over the their failure to tighten immigration laws

Bush & the Senate OK, but I doubt many Conservatives are blaming the House.

restrict gay marriage

Bush has nothing to do with this -- it's generally a state issue and there is no evidence conservatives are blaming him for this

put an end to the Iraq war

Who besides liberals is asking for this?

and the rash of political scandals

Again, a concern of liberals and the drive-by media, not conservatives and certainly not conservatives blaming Bush

according to lawmakers and pollsters

Most likely LIBERALS.

Typical of WaPo -- take one beef some conservatives have with the President and throw a bunch of liberal beefs as well but ascribe them to conservatives too. Dishonest in the extreme.

>Karl Rove, Bush's top political adviser, and GOP leaders are well aware of the problem and planning a summer offensive to win back conservatives with a mix of policy fights and warnings of how a Democratic Congress would govern. The plan includes votes on tax cuts, a constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage, new abortion restrictions and measures to restrain government spending.

Conservatives are mad because of the "Shamnesty", and the solution is the gay marriage amendment and abortion restrictions??

Good thing I don't believe a word the Compost prints even if this article exhibits broken clock type accuracy. The DNC operatives at the Compost has a sense of much of the conservative frustration.

Do the President and Congress? We will see.

Ready for a Democrat Congress and/or President, eh?

Enjoy your higher taxes,

immediate amnesty for illegals (as opposed to earned citizenship proposed by Bush)that immediate amnesty alone will make 11 million new Democrat voters instead of giving them a chance to earn citizenship and be brought into the ownership society,

abortion-on-demand,

liberal legislating judges,

and a foreign policy dictated by the U.N. and France.

Oh yeah, and a nation led by Neville Chamberlains who want to "understand" the terrorists instead of kill 'em.

What happens to some people once they achieve power and/or wealth? They can afford to be magnanimous (read liberal) because they are unaffected financially and geographically by the consequences they impose on our behalf.

In my heart of hearts, I still think GWB has a rope-a-dope up his sleeve, so I do not yet lump him in to my observation.

"It is now apparent that this floor has weakened dramatically and collapsed in places."

I have a message for the Washington Post.

It's true that the floor of the conservative base is creaking a little, but the alternative (Democrats) is the stinking offal at the bottom of the pit under the outhouse floor. Only the insane consider it wise to jump in and take a swim in that putrid pool. I will never sit out an election and cede it to the Democrats in such perilous times.

Vote for the open borders Republicans, because you might get an open borders perverted Democrat if you don't vote. No choices and intimidation got us into this fix, now here we go again. Now is a golden opportunity for an Independent to make it to the top.

The border trolls who go thread to thread are already visiting this one, I see.

Thank you for a reasonable response. I am not happy about the border situation, but to hammer Bush to the point of trying to run the GOP out of power over that one issue is counterintuitive. He has had/has perhaps the fullest plate of any president. Beyond that, the consequences of "teaching the GOP a lesson" are grave because we will wind up with rats. If you aren't happy with things now, just imagine all the complainin' then.

Well I see they just couldn't help themselves. Had a good piece going there until this ... "There are also significant pockets of conservatives turning on Bush and Congress over the their failure to tighten immigration laws, restrict gay marriage and to put an end to the Iraq war and the rash of political scandals, according to lawmakers and pollsters."

TOTAL BS and so obvious.

I'm just glad all this crap is happening on May 10th, not October 10th.

Although I am on board on the spending and immigration issues, as we all are. Karl, are you listening?

It's like watching someone lapse into a self-destructive lifestyle, and slowly slide into the void.

It's profoundly stupid, for the GOP.

BUILD A FENCE. STOP SELLING OUT. NOW.

A bunch of conservatives had that bright idea in 92, and look what that got us..

We got the 1994 Republican revolution. But what has that gotten us? Newt quit, Dick Armey's gone. All of the Republicans that had any fire in their belly have left.

Republican politicians have a short term memory. I want to support the President, but I'm losing sight of where he is leading us.
