You are ignoring the first rule of politics - stay in power. Without which, all other questions of principle are moot.

If what it takes to stay in power is to share in the construction of a socialist U.S.A., then conservatism is dead as a movement. Those of us who believe that this is happening can point to one of several reasons...moral cowardice for instance.

So what "good" could a "moral hero" do without political office.

Your indignation should be directed at the morally ambiguous voting public who would vote Bush out, if he followed his personal conservative moral compass. Remember Clinton? They voted for him twice and almost put his proxy Heir Gore in the Whitehouse for another 8 years. Thanks to Bush and his performance to-date, that will not happen. Thank God.

It is extraordinary how the Republicans get trashed no matter how hard they try to hold the line or no matter how much the Democrats cheat, obstruct, use the media and change the protocols of the past.

No Senate minority in history has ever attempted to stop judicial nominees by filibuster requiring 60 votes. And as much as the Republicans hated Clinton, they never obstructed legislation that was good for the country (the welfare bill) because it gave Clinton a victory.

If Bush didn't play politics as shrewdly as the Democrats, he'd get trashed for weakness and stupidity.

I don't doubt that if Bush were the King of America there would be a total move back to the Constituion. No government approved abortion. No department of Education or EPA. And a missile defense system before the first of the year.

Until he's King he'll have to compromise, play politics and sometimes lose. If that's not good enough for you...don't vote to re-elect him. Of course, if Democrats had abandoned Clinton as quickly as "conservatives" began sobbing and stomping their feet over Bush...President Goober would have been a one-termer.
