Unless it's October 2004, and Bush is polling neck-and-neck with some Dem. Then the GOP will be begging everyone (Libertarians, Buchananites, Constitution Party), to PLEASE come back, that THIS election is too important to lose, and to wait for 2008 to vote your principles.
Bush's momentary high poll numbers have given a false sense of confidence to the Bushies. So they feel safe purging the GOP of "druggies" and such.
Then it's my fault when a weak Republican candidate loses.
Let's face it, had it not been for the anti-clinton vote, W would have been steam rolled by a pathetic candidate, algore. The fear factor was so strong that thre was even a new category of voters spawned, the ABC voters, Anybody But Clinton!
Of course, Florida had 538 who 'held their nose' one last time.
Bush is a nice, likable guy, I just don't care for his politics. He has revealed that the visisble so-called Consevatives are every bit as unprincipled as their counterparts on the Left.
B-1 Bob Dornan said before teh election that with algore we knew what kind of agenda we were getting and that with Bush we had an unknown and that Conservatives would have to keep his feet to the fire. Outside of Hannity and Rush, I haven't heard much. Of course, koolaid drinkers like deb will only criticize other parties.
