Nobody, whom you people would call a conservative, now, can win the presidency, in '08; let alone could have done so in 2000 and '04.

Great point. Not only are you correct, the constant nasty comments have convinced me that even IF some conservative would win the Presidency any time in the future, they would be a disaster at the job.

The POTUS is President of all the people and must put the nation ahead of any ideology. Whomever is in that office must be totally aware of how American actions resonate in a world full of envious and perfidious allies and many enemies. We are not a totalitarian dictatorship. Our Constitution and the rules of the Congress give great powers to the minority and demand a supermajority in order to overcome minority objections and obstruction. The answer to many of our problems with the Senate is to elect more Republicans to reinforce our caucus.

I feel betrayed every time I read some violent post or some screed impugning the character of President Bush. I don't always agree with him, but I admire him and, above all, I respect the office. It is the Senators who have been seduced by money from the corporations which need slave labor who have truly sold us out.

Thank you, Howlin! Your pings are not to be missed.
