They wouldn't understand real principle if it bit them on the behind. Bush could discard his and immediately raise his poll numbers, that is until the next bunch of "true conservatives" find something to beat him up with. Bush is a lousy politician and that is his greatest asset.

"lousy politician"....you have that right...but, he is a good man, which is MUCH better.

What I find so bizarre is that so many Republican politicians have been "running away" from him since his poll numbers have been dropping...

BUT, the Republicans in the Senate, that have been running away..have NOT taken up the mantle of hard nosed Borderbots...they haven't said..."close the borders" , "deport the illegals"..."get legislation doing away with anchor babies, NOW"...

No, they aren't...BUT, they continue to not so subtly point out the differences between President Bush and themselves...but, there is always the fudge factor, to where they come back later, if Bush't numbers go up all of a sudden...and can say, "see, I was with Dubya all along"....blech
