"So, on WHAT issues are Republicans allowed to disagree with their president "


==

NOTHING, in an election year, when the President is from your own party, unless you prefer a Democrat's stand on those issues.

Well, we have a choice.

We can listen to you who think that Republicans should not stand for Republican principles during an Election Year.

Or we can follow Howard Kaloogian who was a Bush Sr. delegate from Michigan in 1988 and was one of the first California Republican Legislators to sign the Bush endorsement letter in 2000.

I think that Howard's history, and his record in the State Assembly (three terms and six years of keeping his conservative Republican campaign promises, being a leader in the recall effort against Gray Davis, and heading up the Defend Reagan Committee to defend President Reagan from the CBS/Viacom smear campaign), opposing amnesty and drivers' licenses for illegal aliens and overspending by the Congress make him a better Republican than you, who believes we should NOT defend Republican principles during an Election Year.

But that's just me ;)

Interesting. So all of the senate candidates have to agree with President Bush on 100% of all issues, or else they're naysayers and not worthy of a vote, eh?

That would be hard to do since they all four main candidates have voting records (although Marin and Casey's records are strictly local) to scrutinize and would therefore have discrepancies exposed, be exposed as liars and hypocrites, and therefore lose.

Talk about your 100% purity test. LOL. Guess you can't for for any of them now. What an unappeasable.

Support the President as our leader yes, but demanding 100% lockstep agreement on all issues is absurd. And on immigration, fatal to many a campaign. The November elections could be WON be showing America how the Republican party stands up for American soveriegnty and defending America, while the Democrats do not.

It is an utter disaster to silence the voices who are calling for the enforcement of immigration law. WE WILL LOSE ELECTIONS IF WE DO THAT.
