I would like to see the results of a poll now asking, Does 'Republican' equal 'Conservative'?. If asked here, there would be substantial numbers who would offer a knee-jerk, emphatic "YES"!!!

Most imature political folks believe that an elected official can govern and get elected by being either far right or far left. They cannot. They cannot move any farther than the majority of those who elected them. In Bush's case he is about a far right as is possible to get elected and even that was down to the last 500 votes.

Its our job as conservatives to change the hearts and minds of the people. As we do so, the elected officials both Rat and GOP alike will move toward conservatives ideals.

I don't understand why this would affect a principled veto of this bill. We now await a dictum from Olympus, providing that they choose to deliver one.

I'm doin' my part. I singlehandedly turned an unrepentant 60's hippie around in Dec. He went to CPAC shortly afterward. What is GW doing to affect the change you propose? IMHO, nuthin'.
