Bush has abandoned the strong base that put him in power. So says Peggy Noonan (former special assistant to President Ronald Reagan and chief speechwriter to Vice President George Bush during his campaign for the presidency) in the Opinion Journal:
President Bush has torn the conservative coalition asunder.

Mr. Bush won in 1988 by saying he would govern as Reagan had. Yet he did not understand he'd been elected to Reagan's third term. He thought he'd been elected because they liked him. And so he raised taxes, sundered a hard-won coalition, and found himself shocked to lose his party the presidency, and for eight long and consequential years. He had many virtues, but he wasted his inheritance.

Bush the younger came forward, presented himself as a conservative, garnered all the frustrated hopes of his party, turned them into victory, and not nine months later was handed a historical trauma that left his country rallied around him, lifting him, and his party bonded to him. He was disciplined and often daring, but in time he sundered the party that rallied to him, and broke his coalition into pieces. He threw away his inheritance. I do not understand such squandering. . . "

In short, GWB has abandoned his conservative supporters by advocating amnesty for Mexican illegals. He is also pushing for the North American Union in secret, behind the scenes. In effect, our President is secretly advocating the abolition of the United States of America. Michael Savage was ripping Bush apart on Friday. Savage may lead the mob that will surely march demanding further action against the president later.

Savage is just an entertainer. He has to take no actions. The only action I’ve seen Savage take is donate the maximum amount of money to Democrat,liberal Jerry Brown who is for increasing illegal immigration and Amnesty.

I don’t buy his act just Like I don’t buy McCain’s.

This bill is the worst bill ever and Bush is wrong on this. But Savage would have more credibility if he blamed who is behind this bill, the Democrats who CONTROL Congress.Practically every democrat congressman is for this Amnesty bill as it will give these socialist Democrats 20 million instant new Democrat voters.Democrat Kennedy has been behind every Amnesty and every 3rd world immigration bill since 1965. Savage doesn’t blame Kennedy and the Democrats as Much as he blames the GOP and Bush.

I don’t buy the line that most GOP congressmen are so willing to cut their own throats by voting for this Amnesty. There is an anti-Amnesty Republican coalition in the House even though Republicans are in the minority.

Do you or Savage support Republican Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo for president or just bash the GOP?

Do you or savage call for impeachment of Kennedy and the democrats like you do for Bush?

For the first time the liberal media is noticing conservatives and quoting them when they bash Bush. Savage has been bashing Bush on everything for years while giving Pelosi, his buddy Chucky Shumer, and Democrats a pass on many things. Savage is for the mininmum wage so that proves that Savage is liberal communist who is for the government telling businesses what they have to pay their employees. if Savage were a conservative and his rants weren't an act then why isn't this liberal cretin for the free market? FYI , a principle of conservatism is the free market.

My question is, “ What does President Bush know that we don’t that makes him take that position?” Letting that many illiterate foreigners into this country can’t be good for the Good Old USA. Our grandchildren will curse our generation.IMHO

We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years.

The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters.

The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.

-- Newt Gingrich, 11-13-2006

I wish someone would, and it should be marching against the entire government in D.C., not just the president, they are all selling us down the river...we need to march against what they are doing to our country and constitution...and soon.

Savage can see further down the road than some conservatives. Many ripped Savage when he went after Bush. Now they are finding out the good Doctor was correct.
