"Conservatism cannot survive on tax cuts alone."
I love W, but Laura is right. He needs to stand up for what made this country great, and loudly fight those who are trying to water down, erode, or p*ss away our greatness--indeed, our goodness.

I also fully agree with Laura. Bush looks strong now, but there are many reasons to think that lots can change for the worse in the next sixteen months. Laura covers many of these reasons.

His answer to this is a perfect example of why the Constitution Party is getting so much buzz around here lately.
Conservatives have nothing to lose. If Al Gore had tried to expand the federal government this much then at least the GOP congress would try to stop him. Since a Republican is expanding government it is A-OK with them.

Thank you. Great article. And Laura has a gay brother whom she dearly loves, so you know she's not coming from a position of hate when she discusses this issue.
To: MNLDS
I think April 7, 2003 should be July 7, 2003, but other than that, this article is spot on in all respects. W should be grateful that Ingraham is around to provide him with counsel.

There are two numbers that the Bush campaign is concerned about--and, unlike Bush 41, they are not interest rates or unemployment. They are focused on the approval number and the Dow Jones. The latest tax legislation has produced a rebound in the market and that can foretell an improving economy six months later. The Democrats' field of candidates is a peculiar mix of egotists (Can you really imagine a debate between Bush and Dean if the latter cannot even get through a friendly interview with Russert without messing up?). Some of her main concerns or premises might not be so critical tomorrow.
W. Bush has done something that his father failed to do--he HAS kept in touch with the average citizen. He is out and about making personal appearances before large groups almost daily. Bush is becoming the first President that these citizens have seen in real life--and they are not going to forget the experience. He mentions people's names, talks about their programs, etc. He has shown the magic touch in bringing the White House to the people, which his father never did. The father appeared to be a detached elitest. This guy is closer to a country music star.
Also, unlike his father, he's a delegator and he's going to let the Senate (i.e., Frist) do the deed and get a constitutional amendment passed regarding marriage. He's said upfront that gays can have whatever relationship they want--just don't call it marriage. More will happen yet on the affirmative action quota cases so the jury is still out on the impact of those decisions.
What is critical is for conservatives to realize that one of the greatest and most lasting legacies of a conservative presidency is a judicial system bursting with conservative judges who will not legislate from the bench, except for reversing prior crazy liberal rulings. It is more important than ever that they continue to support Bush and get more Republicans in the Senate.
W. might not be perfect--but given any alternative, he's the absolute best leader we've had in a couple of decades.

Terrific President. Outstanding Administration. The republic has rarely seen better.

"For weeks, conservatives from across the country have been filling the email box of my radio show with doubts about where this Administration is taking us."
One large, resounding Laura Ingraham PING.
Laura isn't alone in this, I have been having the same doubts.
I voted for GWB, and unless a better candidate comes around I will hold my nose and vote for him again.
Ignoring the un-checked hordes of illegal aliens streaming across our borders, a willingness to sign-off on an extension of the AWB, and his supposed contemplation of sending troops to Liberia, give me cause for concern.
George needs to wake up and read Free Republic, the troops are restless.

I live in Tucson, and I am furious about the lack of urgency with the immigration problem.
American citizens are practically strip-searched at airports, but our borders remain wide open.
If I'm going to work hard to get this President re-elected, I want to be sure that he's not just giving us lip service on important issues, like U.S. sovereignty.

Nobody anywhere or at anytime is unbeatable.
Clinton was the worse of scoundrels but he knew well enough the truth behind "It's the economy, stupid!" First things being first, voters have to possess their creature comforts or there is going to be a change.
Here's real wisdom too:'In the words of one fed-up stay-at-home mom in Kansas: "What's the point of doing the grassroots work for conservative candidates if this is what we're getting?"'
What does it mean when WJC can't enact prescription coverage but Bush does? What does it mean when the cost of government is still climbing but simply distributed differently? As the lady asks, How do you get excited about that?

If there are enough tax cuts, govt. will be forced to get smaller and that is good enough for me.

You forgot to turn on your sarcasm tag.
Bush and the GOP have
become the party of shills for votes.
I don't intend to vote for Bush. I intend to rent a van and a driver and get out the democrats to vote him out. We were better off under divided government.
The GOP and the die hard Bots on this board think that Bush can screw everybody right up until election day, and we will all return to the fold.
He's pushed it beyond the limits. In order to appear Clintonesque, he approves of CFR, assault weapon ban, HIPPA, new arsenic regs, more wealth transfer payments to low income and seniors, etc. etc.
Me, I'm not voting for Clinton lite.

"If there are enough tax cuts, govt. will be forced to get smaller and that is good enough for me."
Gee, I thought tax cuts were supposed to result in increased federal revenues...that's according to all the GOP conservatives.
So how is it increased tax cuts will lead to smaller government, if the government will get more tax dollars from the stimulus? Huh?

Agreed. If President Bush attempts to run from the Left, he shouldn't be surprised to find conservatives sitting out the next election. Our support shouldn't be taken for granted. There IS trouble in River City and the President had better get back on the ball.

depends, if you cut the rate from 90 percent to 50%, more money comes in. if you cut from 20% to zero, less money comes in.
either way, private sector gets bigger relative to public sector and that is good enough for me.
