He's right. They decided to legislate like democrats because they were hijacked by the so called compassionate conservative Bush/ Rove con artists. Yeah, Bush appoints good judges, gave us a little tax cut and understands we are at war, but that's no excuse to condon his drunken sailor spending and his glib concern for illegal immigration. It's like the diver below. Like her, the republicans had a great start and form in the beginning but cracked their heads when they rushed to put George Bush in the Oval Office. We were such in a rush to get rid of Clinton that we didn't scrutinize our own candidate close enough to see that he's a friend of Big Government. If we were never attacked, would many of you still be supporting a guy who has grown the governement faster than any liberal democrat has ever grown the government?

Quite true. The claim made by some that Hagel is a "RINO" does match his pro-taxpayer/small government voting record. Perhaps the pro-Bush folks who are attacking Hagel are the true RINOs e.g. the voted for a man who has become the most pro-big government prez since LBJ.

Excellent post. I agree with every word you said, except that Bush "understands we are at war". If he truly understood this, he would do something about our wide open borders.

He's right

On Judges alone Bush has done so far much more for the Conservative movement then any of the Democrats pretending to be Conservatives on the wacko Freeper Fringe with their perpetual whining have, or ever will, do. Hagel is an idiot studying to be a moron and failing, just like all the utterly hysteric pseudo Conservatives Freeper Fringes with their DNC Virtual Campaigning pouting One has to wonder if the the 100%er Whiners with their DNC "Pretend to be a "Betrayed Conservative and infiltrate Conservative websites" propaganda posting ACTUALLY think any of us are stupid enough to fall for this Moveon.org directed clowning?

Mad as hell? Dumb as hell would be more accurate.

"We were such in a rush to get rid of Clinton that we didn't scrutinize our own candidate close enough to see that he's a friend of Big Government."

Our candidate won by 537 votes and we knew who he was and what he was for eight years before 2000. If you also recall, for two years before the 2002 Midterms, the senate was run by Democrats.

Anyone who has a problem with this should just vote out the RINOS. The problem isn't the President.
