Bush is his father's son.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

What are you?

[rdb3]

What are you?

Yeah, I'd like to think that I am my father's son, too.

[caa26]

Well at least he hasn't signed off on any tax increases. But, I'd hate to admit it GWB has been too liberal for me with the laws that have passed during his administration thus far. But thank God, GWB is leading this country during war time instead of Gore.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Spouting patriotic rhetoric and enjoying the support of fellow Republicans, George W. Bush has masqueraded as a conservative while actually advancing a liberal agenda."

"Dog Bites Man."

[hchutch]

More "purist" bashing of the President.

[dighton]

OK, the John Birch Society isn't pleased with GW. Peel off another layer of the disguise, and you'll find he's sapping our precious bodily fluids.

What else is new?

[Dante3]

I never thought of George W. as a conservative. But he is a tremendous improvement over the sleazy, destructive Clinton and the mentally unstable and weird Gore -- no comparison. What I do fault him is his unwillingness to protect our borders, his proposal to grant amnesty for foreign criminals, and his failure to fight for judicial nominees. The latter should have priority over any foreign involvement.

More "purist" bashing of the President.

You'll have to excuse us if we want better than "Merely the lesser of two evils" for our President. Bush is a Conservative In Name Only, as far as I'm concerned....

[hchutch]

And you'll have to excuse me if I think that letting perfect be the enemy of good enough is only helping the Left.

Prime example of why the founders feared the rise to power of political parties. The party is more important than the principle.

[1rudeboy]

Do any of these folks ever campaign to get someone elected? Or is their ignorance of the political process the reason they sit on their butts and take pot-shots?

[Poohbah]

Do any of these folks ever campaign to get someone elected?

Generally, no. It's too much like work for their taste.

Or is their ignorance of the political process the reason they sit on their butts and take pot-shots?

Gee, what do YOU think? :o)

[WyldKard]

And you'll have to excuse me if I think that letting perfect be the enemy of good enough is only helping the Left.

If Bush was even Good Enough, I wouldn't mind....but he's not. He's only lucky he's surrounded by smart people.

The Bushes that we all love:

[Texbob]

The writer of this article understands Liberal Bush.

[hchutch]

Sorry, but I still see an all-or-nothing approach as doing more harm than good.

We've got tons of problems, and we have to figure out which we have to solve first. In my opinion, winning this war has to be priority one. Second is judicial nominations. Third, tax cuts. Fourth, start rolling back some gun control laws.

On the other issues, I'll accept compromises, and we'll fix those later, when we've solved the big problems.

[A Vast RightWing Conspirator]

It's interesting that we have an article full of facts and actual quotes and figures here. It's not unexpected that no one challenges the facts, quotes and figures.

Sorry folks, W. is/was bad news for America. He may be good for the GOP and for the African dictators but he is bad for America.

[hchutch]

Well, if the answers are staying home or going third-party, both of which help the Left, then the questions being asked are pretty stupid. You work with what you have, and you learn to keep plugging away.

We had a judge borked yesterday because third-party purists cost the Republicans TWO Senate seats (Ensign's first Senate campaign in 1998 and Slade Gorton's re-election bid in 2000). Any Republican with a pulse could have won Nevada's open seat in 2000.

If perfect is allowed to be the enemy of good enough, then all you will get is the bad.

[gunshy]

I think Bushs hairstyle is better.
