Says you! But he'll get THEIR vote, he can't count on your's,and that, dear, is the whole point.

You numbers are , thankfully, not nearly as large as you assume/would like. You guys make a whole lot of noise on FR,but not in the REAL world. But, if you did/do, then the ONLY thing you'll accomplish, is getting Kerry or whoever elected.

Some people see the glass as 1/2 full, some see it as 1/2 empty, you and your pals see NO glass at all and are dogs in the manger. Go read some Aesop.

To repeat:

Boosting the NEA, with a major announcement to boot, is the best way for Bush to tell conservatives to go f##k off. Well, if Bush wants it that way, I can tell you right now that millions will go do that on election day instead of voting for him. That's not my opinion, that's fact.

All sorts of Bush defenders are posting on this thread that they have changed their minds--take William Creel, for example, or rwfromkansas. I, for one, have never even thought of advocating sitting the election out until now, even if I have been rather hard on Dubya in recent weeks.

The posters here are a microcosm not of the country, but of the conservative movement. Their lack of enthusiasm and now outright antipathy may just doom Bush in what should have been a slam-dunk election.
