Before blaming Bush, every Conservative should remember how Congress behaved when Bush tried to fix Social Security, and remember just who left who first.Ding, ding, ding! The winner here. Social security was the first issue coming out of the 2004 win and the cowardly Congress ducked it. Then we had the gang of 14 pushing Bush to the mushy middle and preventing some of his judges from being confirmed.

Exactly!
Bush had every intention of spending his political capital, and on something that was truly important to the country.
It was the RINOs in Congress who wilted before Democratic criticism.

You have brought up an interesting topic: the gang of 14 in the Senate. I hold these RINO Republicans responsible for the undermining of the conservative agenda which demoralized the grass root conservative support for this last election. The RINOs had their fight against the "neocons" and caused the Republican Party to lose power in both houses. The gang of 14 opposed most of the Bush Administration's efforts for change, which would have energized the conservative grass root support.
