He's right, of course, and I think the conservatives need to GO ON THE DEFENSE about it, before it's too late. For victory & freedom!!!

Is that the same as "seething with righteous indignation"? Just asking.

George Bush isn't conservative blah, blah, blah. Fine. What's your program, pal? How do we advance the conservative movmement?

(BTW, some answers to the stupid question posed by the author include: 1) National missile defense, 2) Supporting gun rights, 3) Maintaining a high profile pro-life position, 4) Rebuilding military strength and preparedness, 5) Opposing the Kyoto treaty, etc.)

So, should we be satisfied with a few crumbs?

"High profile" is not how I would describe Bush's prolife actions.

Missile defense? Please elaborate Faraday. Kyoto treaty? Only a masochistic psychopath would sign on to it. Gun rights? Where? Maintaining a high profile pro life position? Pro life, yes. High profile? He hardly speaks of it. Military build up? We are at war. Srike 5 !!

The economy is on the rebound but stock prices are in the dumper and personal and retirement accounts are strained. There are several issues Bush has won on. Tax Relief, Right to sue HMO's was foiled, He's won some ground on his Education plan and making states accountable and I believe ultimately he'll win on his Energy and Misstle defense policies. You see the glass as half empty or completely empty I see it as half full.

Don't get me wrong. I adore President Bush. That was me CRYING in front of the TV on the day of his inauguration. It's just that I get tired of our conservative issues being pushed aside in favor of political correctness and political expediency. That's all.

He's won some ground on his Education plan and making states accountable

It's a crying shame that he couldn't have just read the US Constitution and realized that the federal government was given NO authority to making anyone "accountable" in the education arena. Our, previously, wonderful education system (which was run by the individual states) began its downhill slide during the 1960s when the feds got involved to begin with. If Bush were TRULY a conservative, he would be abolishing all federal involvement in education, not expanding its powers.

The cure for the "movement" is to work your asses off to get people elected. It's not rocket science. Just go door-to-door and prosletyze like the JW's do. Talk to blacks and hispanics and asians, too. Get them on board. The elections will take care of themselves. The demographic shifts that hurt Bush in 2000 will get worse by 2004 and worse by 2008. Not all white voters will vote GOP.

Won ground on education? 8 billion extra dollars with absolutely no accountability? He set us back `10 years !! Energy policy is likewise a total bust. The glass is 3/4 empty, and there is a pinhole leak in the bottom of the glass.
