WASHINGTON Conflicts are multiplying between congressional Republican moderates and the White House as President Bush pursues his aggressively conservative second-term agenda.
The unexpected resistance to Bush's nomination of John R. Bolton as U.N. ambassador from several Senate Republicans marks the latest, and potentially most intense, clash. But battles over Social Security, Bush's budget proposal and ending the filibuster for judicial nominations also are raising tensions inside the party.

I thought Bush was a GOP Moderate.Well, I think he is more accurately seen as a mixed bag. On spending, immigration and entitlements, he is quite liberal. On judicial appointments, he has been solidly conservative and has supported his nominees. On national defense, he has been solidly conservative. Where he is actually a conservative, the Old Media and the Left have gone bonkers. Where he isn't, they don't have much to say.

The press and liberal RAT Jihadists are doing their level best to tear the Republicans asunder from within.Of course we all know Chafee and Snowe are already who they are. Everyone of them needs to be put up against a strong conservative in their next primary.
WEED THEM OUT.

Brownstein is pretty much a communist, so his idea of moderate republican is a liberal democrat.

I can't really be certain. Check this link to see.No, it's not me but I sure feel the same way about the lack of ACTION on the part of the Republican Senate. Besides, I could care less what you call me.
