Get over it - even the most ardent Bush supporter acknowledges that they don't agree with him 100% of the time on 100% of the issues. But I'm not sure anyone who doesn't want to hear that will, in fact, hear that

Let me second that! I have posted that over and over again but some folks don't seem to want to hear that the vast majority of us do not agree with the WH 100% of the time but then that doesn't fit their agenda of bashing does it?

Frankly, you and Annie are not amongst those who I would call the 'crush-any-dissent-at-any-cost-and-by-any-means' crowd. I have heard both of you voice your opposition to some Administration policies.

The problems I usually have are with those who constantly scorch any of us who have legitimate concerns with personnel and policy. Such an approach (discouraging/squelching principled criticism), is counterproductive in the extreme...ultimately it just empowers the truly unruly and destructive.

I have complimented the Administration when I felt it was appropriate, and criticized when appropriate...such a stance obviously makes me a traitor in some eyes...but in fact the opposite is true. Those who remain silent when our own Party sells us down the river are the ones who are being destructive in the long haul.

God help us all if we are ever the mirror image of the Clintonista syncophants...the republic would suffer horribly if we were so unprincipled.
