Alrighty then, careful what you ask for...
Bush: Rumsfeld 'exactly what is needed'
Bush Wants Cheney, Rumsfeld To Keep Jobs
Bush Says Rumsfeld Is Stepping Down
Bush Faces GOP Ire Over Rumsfeld Timing
What a bunch of drivel.
Why support a man who won't even fight back?
Bush's New Tone has done him in, Democrats are repeatedly harping on him and yet Bush refuses to denounce these fools.
The author clearly doesn't get it.
Notice he signed up over three month after you did
Because he was the Republican candidate, and the Dem alternative was far worse? Duh! You really need an education in politics, laurie_d. Your view of politics is way too simplistic, as is obvious by the inane question you keep asking over and over. In the end, we can only vote for the candidate that is the closest to our beliefs, and that actually has a chance to win. Bush, for better or worse, was that candidate in 2000 and 2004. Has he been the worst president ever? Of course not. But we thought we were getting a different guy than Bush I, and as we've found out, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. So we move on to 2008, a Bush-free environment. That's the way politics goes.
Around here, Laura Ingraham is correct. Amnesty for illegal aliens and support for the greater war is linked. Make the logical connection. When over 14,000 American citizens are killed every year here by illegal aliens, what should be the level of support for a war to secure a foreign country?
“The ONLY question is, is he stupid or traitorous savant.. or a democrat mole..”
For years, I’ve thought the entire Bush clan was forced on us in order to destroy the Republican Party. From Papa “read my lips” Bush to Jr. the bonehead, they are all Rockefeller Republicans at best. Barbara is a dyed in the wool east coast lib, too.
Not to me, and I guarantee I and others I know have called him things that can not be repeated here.
The senate was probably more conservative when Reagan left than when he arrived. Although the republicans had control of the senate for a bit Reagan's vetoes were often overrode.
This highlights the problem we face today, "Republican" is not the same thing as "conservative". The party loyalists that just want to stay in power just can't get through their head.
Oooooh good one Kaslin. Too bad I’ve been here since 2000 and chose to abandon my old screen name in favor of one less specific.
My2Cents said it much better than I.

The Caucus of the Angry, generally, consistently exhibits certain character traits —
— Perfectionism
— Inflexibility
— Stridency and argumentativeness
— Impracticality/detachment from reality
— A tendency to view the world from the perspective of the ideal, and inability to consider practical alternatives
— Aggressiveness
— Narrow viewpoint and the inability and unwillingness to consider other viewpoints
— Inability to see the big picture
— Elitism, and a tendency to consider only their position as being the “right” one
— Rigidity and the inability to accommodate, compromise, or exhibit flexibility
— Judgmentalism and defensiveness
— Lack of civility
— Negativity
— A preference to destroy what they disagree with rather than build on previous progress
— Inability to focus on an overall goal and to work cooperatively with others toward that goal
— Individuality, to the point of personal isolation
Interestingly enough, these character traits are found in extremists of every stripe, left as well as right. These character traits seem to be common to extremists, independent of ideology, which is why their behavior and attitudes are symptomatic of a personality disorder rather than a political philosophy. In fact, many of these traits closely parallel the symptoms of Paranoid Personality Disorder as identified by the American Psychiatric Association (see http://mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=569&cn=8 for confirming information).
FR has some great people on it. Unfortunately, it also has some rude and infantile morons. Sadly, the morons seem to have the run of the place.

I think you’ll be much happier there, with the rest of the slack jawed moral midgets.
GWB is the first president since Lincoln who has waged a war against those who want to destroy America with less than majority popular support at home. I can't imagine the personal burden this guy faces every day knowing that our best are in harm's way and that some will pay with their lives. Can you?
While the rest of us are hunkered down in our foxholes, GWB has grabbed the battle standard and is leading an assault against our enemies and continuing the fight for all the conservative principles at home. So no I won't deny support to our commander in time of need over an issue as silly as the immigration bill which he was RIGHT to the position of Ronald Reagan on. I will stand with him because I don't abandon my friends and am proud to be responsible for his administration over the Gore/Kerry alternatives.
That's bad; I didn't know that. I sure don't appreciate his pandering to Mexico or his allegiance to that country over ours: in speeches, meetings, having his men call us names and locking up the Border Patrol, etc.
By leaving our borders wide open and encouraging foreign nationals to cross it?
Gallagher is right.
We got the dems in control when some tried to teach a lesson to Congress Critters. It backfired. Trying to teach a lesson to the president by abandoning the Republican Party will backfire too. When I was a kid we called it cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I agree that there are things that need to be done to send a wake-up call to D.C. from the country, but abdicating control to the Democrat Party is not the way to do it.
You are 100 percent right. After Hillary wins in 2008 and signs are out there that she will be elected, all those Bush bashers on our side are going to realize how good they had it under President Bush
Well put!
Did you give Bill Clinton your undying support when he deployed troops?
The fact that so many previous supporters are this outraged says quite a bit about the disconnect between President Bush and conservatives.
I don't think this administration still understands the degree of disaffection that exists between him and conservatives. If he has, he has done little to show it. The easiest way for him to start mending fences between him and conservatives would be to start building fences. Yet, there is still no real progress in that regard.
