But conservatism means working for smaller government and border security. And by this measuring stick, Bush has been more 'L' than 'C'.
Which you are ignoring.
That's why you keep saying things like, "all or nothing attacks" and "one-issue voters". You're pretending Bush has only given one issue for conservatives to be upset.
So, you're ignoring my point, while just repeating what you want to say over and over again.
I get it that you support Bush no matter what. But merely repeating that is not a dialog. And is not going to help the R party in the fall.
"Which you are ignoring. "
I'm not ignoring anything. I see and interpret things differently from you, and I still view myself (and the President) as strong conservatives. From where I sit, to claim that W has been more liberal than conservative, is not only simplistic and one-dimensional, but it's also completely bizarre. The speech President Bush gave last night was, in my opinion, far more in line with American conservative ideals than any barbed wire fence or "citizen posse."
