What is it with these guys? The National Committee did a lot to get him elected and I'm sure Rs from around the country contributed to his campaign in the hopes of showing Daschle the door. Now he wants to be independent!

And I sent this guy money in his election bid! In that election, I was supportive of not only Thune, but Lindsey Graham. Neither will get my support again...and Lindsey will not get my vote.

Of course AP totally ignores Bush's position on open borders and support for illegals (amnesty) which is Bush's other BIG problem, and a major issue with conservatives who respect our soverignty and our laws, to say nothing about government waste of taxpayers' dollars on illegals.

I certainly cannot fault TRUE conservatives for separating themselves from Bush. For obvious reasons.

Since this is an AP story, I will give Thune the benefit of doubt. something might have been taken totally out of context. I also gave Thune money. I hope the problem was with the AP writer.

He said the Iraq war is Bush's biggest problem.

No, Senator, the problem isn't the Iraq war, but the White House's mysterious inability to consistently frame Iraq as key to the war on terror and changing the calculus in the Middle East, as well as the MSM's incessant lying about our progress there.

I'd distance myself from Bush also:

on immigration pandering,
vote fraud ignoring,
spending excessively,
veto preventing,
McClaim-Findgold signing,
Kennedy-NEA pandering,
....

"He said the Iraq war is Bush's biggest problem. "

WRONG!!!!!!

Bush's biggest problem is the illegal alien invasion and his refusal to deal with it. Its alienating his base.

His base supports the war on terror and understands why we are in Iraq. Some of us may differ on aspects of our tactics there and the importance of moving on to neighboring targets like Iran and Syria, but Bush's base is solidly behind him on Iraq.

I don't understand these idiots. Bush worked his butt off for people like Thune and Spector in 2004 and then they turn around and give him the finger.

Memo to the WH: The "new tone" didn't work with the Rats and now it has failed with your own party. Time to say all bets off and fight fire with fire in your own party.

Thune is a good example of politician that get corrupted by Washington and the Press and is why we need term limits.

Oh come on. You will or should if it is between him and a liberal. We can't allow for the dems to get in ever again. Plus, he seems to be improving over the last six months. I think he just got to involved with McCain and let him influence him.

Good. John Thune was a Christian conservative when he was elected. It appears he intends to remain that way.

It is obvious the majority of House members are running against Bush on amnesty for illegals.

MSM is following NYTimes/DNC lead in framing "dissension" in Republican ranks and not mentioning the same in Democratic.
