>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.
The Compost knows we are frustrated but is completly off base if they think "fixes" to these marginal social issues will cause us to regain our "nice doggy, now go lie down in the corner" demeanor.

I see you don't mention the one issue that is primemost on conservative's minds, and that is illegal immigration. A Freudian slip on your part? Also, there will be no Karl Rove to plan a summer offensive, as Fitzgerald is going to indict him to render Rove inoperative in the mid-term elections. And it will be intentional on Fitzgerald's part to do so, and he will do it happily. Another example of Bush & Co. shooting themselves in their collective feet by appointing Fitzgerald in the first place. Fools.
