I (reluctantly) voted for Bush in the election, kept my mouth shut about my fears so that there would be no chance these fears would cause someone else to not vote for Bush... and I will vote for him again. I have no choice.. the alternative (a liberal Dem.) is too horrible to think about. But the fears are coming true.

I agreed very much with the points you made in your fine post expect for this. You echo a similar sentiment I have heard from many of my conservative friends-- the idea that no matter how far to the left Bush goes, the democratic alternative is far worse.

I used to think this way but no more. Bush through his vast power within the GOP has proven to me that he is every bit as dangerous (maybe more so) than the democratic alternative...sans Hillary and her Maoist crowd.

The loyal conservative opposition to the socialism that the democrats peddle has been largely co-opted by Bush himself through his passage of much of their leftist agenda...without so much as a fight. And on immigration and trade matters Bush's positions are arguably to the left of Clinton! So with the exception of judicial appointment (that is big but it’s important to see how Bush handles this) I don't see the huge downside in not voting for Bush again. Either way, the Beltway Crowd is selling out America and her citizens as fast as they can. Choose your poison.

Finally, if Republican voters continually allow the GOP to run one RINO after another because of fear mongering that the democrats are worse (which the GOP does so well) NOTHING will EVER change in the republican party.
