Absolutely, Peach. In fact, I don't think anyone can bash President Bush and be an "honest" conservative at the same time. "Conservatism" is not just about where one stands on every particular issue, but also about standing by and supporting those leaders who have demonstrated their committment to conservative principles over long periods of time, even at the risk of their own political careers. This describes Reagan, even though he too offered an "amnesty" program and raised taxes. It describes our current president as well.
Those who bash him are not true conservatives. They are political one-trick ponies.
Exactly, zook. I've had disagreements with the president in the past, but I'm not about to bash him. Conservatives always eat their own.
Republicans aren't called the stupid party for nothing; democrats depend on it.
Well said.
