Ok, I’ll concede a poor choice of words there. However, make no mistake I am very unhappy with his stance on this particular issue.

Agreed, and I think he has earned it for the most part, except for this one particular issue. At the very least, he’s a vast improvement over Bill Clinton.

“Allowing wages to be depressed by a flood of turd-worlders, embracing China and allowing her to become a serious challenge to us, squandering 4-6 years of GOP majority without a significant platform-issue victory, never using his veto power when it mattered...these are all things that earned Mr. Bush scorn from conservatives.”

If you want to blame the China problem on anyone, go back to Billy Bob Clinton, who among other things gave away secrets to the Chinese. And to be fair, quite a few Presidents before him have embraced China and more than a few other so-called friends and allies that anyone with an IQ of 70 or less could see are not our friends. A lot of blame to go around for all of these issues, not just the current President.

You can be as appalled as you like, but I stand by what I said. I think he is a good President for the most part. You, however, have a right to disagree...well, at least until the socialist Democrats come into full power in 08.

In regards to my other points you ignored, Mr Bush has not advanced a single Republican grass roots issue. We even still have the damnable Department of Education for crying out loud. The closest thing we got was a limp-wristed partial birth abortion ban that still had loopholes.
The Dems have outmanuvered the administration from day 1 even though in the minority. Shameful.
Now that the Socialists have a majority the administration rolls over like an obedient puppy.
You say that Señor Bush is a "good President for the most part." What remains to be impressed by? The fact that he is nominally Republican? His impressive strides in reducing the size of government? (You may be unaware that Mr. Bush has GROWN the size of government more than all his predecessors. So that was sarcasm.)
Your 'ilk' is the kind of person who has blinders on to political reality which you have amply demonstrated. I don't have to 'know' you to see who you are, your words broadcast who you are.
Enlighten me. What good things has Mr. Bush done for America or conservatives to earn your loyalty?
Believe me, I NEVER venture into that koolaid-quaffing zone.
Last time I did that was over a year ago. It's just the mere fact that deluded sheeple have a cult of personality for a man who has an 'R' behind his name but is a stranger to conservatism that is offensive to many.
No one can stop you, it's just embarrassing that you choose to continue in it when the man is undeserving of your fawning.
