No paleos, no power. It's as simple as that. As for stupid, who has had 5 years plus to do deals with Ted Kennedy? Neo conservatives like Bush and McCain. It is stupid and arrogant to alienate your base.
I'm no Buchanan worshipper. I voted for Bush twice. I think he has done great things re the WOT. We got two fine justices, but almost got Harriet Myers, until we dragged the President kicking and screaming to someone more, shall we say, conservative? It seems to me that "neo" conservatives are more like democrats circa 1960.
My dear departed mamma would say "you are cutting off your nose to spite your face". President Bush has done "great things" you say, but just not quite great enough. You expected to get EVERYTHING you wanted and you didn't quite get it. That's because President Bush is a politician, he knows he has to compromise. You on the other hand are willing to throw everything he has done down the drain because you didn't get 100% of what you wanted. You are pathetic.
