Conservatives now need to seriously discuss their next moves after this crap is officially signed into “law” by President Bush! What good is it for a majority of conservatives to decide to stay at home on November 4, 2008 if it also helps prevent, for example, a Fred Thompson/Duncan Hunter Presidential ticket from winning? What are conservatives supposed to truly do next!?!

It is probably time to start playing hardball. Conservatives should get a grassroots effort going for impeachment of President Bush. I would think that would scare the hell out of Republicans, because we all know the Dems would go along with it damn near down to the last person in Congress (although for different reasons). I would have preferred we do something like this before the bill gets signed, but we probably don't have time for it now.

The key here is the impression it makes on the Republicans. Even the possibility of the Republican base supporting impeachment would be a huge wake-up call. Impeachment, accompanied by some very visible demonstrations, would be essentially a non-violent revolution, and I am convinced that revolution is our only real option at this point.

What has put me over the edge with Bush is his betrayal of those who put him in office, specifically, and of the US in general. I voted for him in 2000, but I was really, really ticked off that the Republicans put him up as the candidate, since any reasonably conservative candidate would have won in a walk against Gore and I hated Bush Sr. I was impressed with W's resolve with the War on Islamic Nazis (although he won't call it that), and I voted for him again in 2004, as much against Kerry as for Bush. However, his behavior since the 2004 election has been nothing short of mind-boggling. It is not hs stance on illegal Mexicans; that is not a surprise. It is the betrayal of conservatives that has me angry. He insults us when we object to Harriet Miers. He insults us when we object to the Dubai Ports deal. He insults us when we object to lax immigration and border enforcement. He has called us bigots, racists, vigilantes, and now says we don't want what is best for America. It is time for an attitude adjustment.
