That's why I put the word in quotes the first time around. These one-trick ponies who fashion themselves as "true conservatives" will in the long run do nothing more than increase the chances of Democrat victories.
President Bush has done a ton to turn back the damage caused in the prior 8 years of Clinton. But the "ever-so-principled" fringe players of the extreme right are working hard to bring it all back.
"A ton"???
Bush has been fine. Adequate. Not spectacular.
Bush has done quite a few things that damage the conservative movement -- assuming you define 'conservative' as smaller govt. He's also done a few things to appease conservatives.
If it hadn't been for the war, which I support, I wouldn't have much positive to say for him.
Yes, you've made your disdain for conservatives and conservatism clear.
Rockefellar Republicans have always disdained conservatives, they wish they didn't have to associate with them. They do so with distatse because after decades of controlling the party it was only when conservatives took the reigns that they won.
They have spent the last two years announcing their independence and trying to claim the Majority conservatives built. The result is poll numbers in the '20's for Congress. That's what your precious Rockefaller's have done for the party.
Conservatives didn't bring us here, your liberal establishment types did.
