As I have said on other threads. Conservatism is a movement, not a party. The Republican party is merely an instrument. It is our job to make our voices heard on such issues as illegal immigration (which lowers wages and takes jobs away from Americans), the exportation and outsourcing of jobs, the diminution of our sovereignty to the UN etc..

George W. Bush is a rich boy who has known and hung out with other rich boys all his life. He has no clue and never will what mainstream America is all about.

We can only counterbalance what his corporate advisers and RNC cronies tell him by hitting the streets and being more active in our local party politics. We need to get rid of the RINOS (county leaders) who are nothing but shills for the RNC and put put people in there that represent the wishes of the rank and file. That can only happen if you participate in the process.

I have seen socialism and military dictatorships first hand, that is where the democrats lead. I have no interest in going there, The RATS do not present an alternative. The Republicans are a slightly better alternative, but they will not solve the necessary problems and have vision unless we are heard. The ones that are heard are the ones that shout.

"George W. Bush is a rich boy who has known and hung out with other rich boys all his life. He has no clue and never will what mainstream America is all about."

You "misunderestimate" the man. After Yale, Harvard and the ANG, GWB went back to Midland and formed his company as an independent oilman. He did what most independents do -- worked his own leases, ran his own rigs and got down in the mud, running pipe during acidizing operations.

GWB probably has more experience dealing with everyday people than any President since Truman.
