"Has this President ever fought, even once, for a specifically conservative position? And I mean it in the sense that he was a true leader, one who went up against the odds because of principle?"

The WOT is the only area I can think of. I do believe he has been terrific. I think we are winning slowly but surely. In domestic policy we have had to compromise our principals in every area waiting for the day when we could change the SCOTUS. Roberts for O'Connor was okay, but Miers for Rehinquist? Thanks alot for all the loyalty we've shown you.

The President gets enormous credit for the WOT, altho I hesitate to call that a specifically "conservative" position.

BTW, I think part of the dynamic in this Miers thing, is that the President has been so unfairly attacked by liberals and leftists, to the point of hateful absurdity, that some conservatives feel protective of him regardless of what he does.
