Bush is better than any Democrat on the war.... but I wish Bush was a conservative...
I don't call myself a Republican anymore.
Not true. Bush is as conservative as Reagan and in some areas more so.
If Bush were a true Conservative, he wouldn't have been elected.
Keyes ran as a true Conservative yet was never elected. Not because he's a black Conservative, but because he's simply too Conservative. This country is probably more or less right smack dab between Conservatism and Liberalism. None of the Democrats will be elected because they're too damn liberal. Bush, from day one, has been chipping away at the Democrat base, and the only remnants left of that base is the kooky left. One only has to look at who's left in the field of Democrat wannabe's to realize that.
So called true Conservatives can't stand that Bush is not paying attention to them and their "needs", yet by the same token, Bush has grown the Republican base in less than 4 years. We're never going to totally get rid of government spending, it will always be with us, no matter if we vote down the middle, or way over on the left or right.
If you want to start a pity party, count me out, I'm not about to start, because I have common sense on my side.
