Gap widening between Bush and conservativesAin't that the truth.
Expect him to strenuously push for, and sign, a much more restrictive Assault Weapons Ban.
This ain't your daddy's Reagan.

Funny, if he were going to do that, I would have expected him to say he was going to do that. Everything else which has been disappointing he pretty much just did what he said he was going to do.

I disagree Laz. Why should Bush alienate his base by signing the AWB. That thing is buried and will stay buried by Tom DeLay. Bush does not want it on his desk. Bush made a promise to sign a renewal if it reached his desk. If it sunsets, too effin' bad.
As to Jonah's article, I agree with much of what he says, but I believe that Bush has begun to respond after setting the table for centrist voters with the Ed Bill and the Granny Bill. Domestic spending is set to grow by 1% this year in the 2005 budget.
Be Seeing You,

Could you provide some proof that the President is going to
strenuously push for and sign a much more restrictive Assault Weapon's band.
Thank you!

Expect him to strenuously push for, and sign, a much more restrictive Assault Weapons Ban. Expect him to not even mention the Assault Weapons Ban.

I do wish we had a republican running in this election. (SARCASM OFF)
But, to be honest I have read JFK's domestic agenda during his term and he was more conservative the GWB is looking now. And that is just wrong!

I have one point I wish for you to consider, if you would be so kind. If a dem spent money they it has been spent in the past few years, if a dem sign the pill bill, if a dem affected our constitutional rights the way finance reform and the patriot act have (I am very skeptical of any attack on my rights for any reason.), if a dem proposed the amnesty, if a dem says that he sign an extention to the assault weapons ban, if a dem grew the size of government the way this President has we would all be howling mad and marching on Washington with torches.
I am not saying that GWB does not have many positives, he does but to me his negative now out weight them. If he, for example, would drop the amnesty and cut spending I would be happy to reevaluate him. I am not naive enough to think I can ever get all I want from a politicain in terms of his views, but now the issues he is for that I oppose are more to me then those I agree with him.

Of all things, Bush understands he MUST be re-elected, he does not want to go down in history, like father like son. If he continues with in your face policies towards conservatives, his worst nightmare may be realized.

...conservatives - as opposed to partisan Republicans - have sincere misgivings about the kind of presidency Bush is conducting. Yes.

Conservatives may as well learn to enjoy bending over and grabbing our ankles while the Republicans do unto us like the 'rats do the blacks. Where are we going to go?
The short man with the big ears taught me the folly of thinking I had any choice, other than how fast this hand basket gets to hell. Republicans will get us there slower. The ultimate destination remains the same.

When Bush sign the AWB renewal expect the bots to go on about how it is a minor issue a we need not concern ourselves with the loss of more of our liberties.

Where are you getting your information about Pres Bush pushing for a more restrictive ban? This President doesn't hide on an issue -- if he was going to be pushing hard for that, you would have heard it in the State of the Union.
What's with all you naysayers coming out saying what the President is going to do when he has given no indication. You have crystal ball or something?
