“What political conservatives and on-the-ground Republicans must understand at this point is that they are not breaking with the White House on immigration. They are not resisting, fighting and thereby setting down a historical marker—”At this point the break became final.” That’s not what’s happening. What conservatives and Republicans must recognize is that the White House has broken with them. What President Bush is doing, and has been doing for some time, is sundering a great political coalition. This is sad, and it holds implications not only for one political party but for the American future.”

On a scale where -100 is fruit loopy liberal, 0 is moderate, and +100 is cocopuff conservative, I’d say Peggy is about a +50 or +55.

I’d say most people in the general electorate instinctively lean conservative at a +10 or +15. though depending on circumstances, that group can range between -25 and +25.

I’d say the average Freeper is at +95 to +100. The Average DUer is at -95 to -100.

I’m at +70 or so, which around here makes me a RINO or socialist. Well, there you go.

He and his people have always held us in contempt. Some of us have known it all along. It's just out in the open now.

What Bush is doing, is laying the groundwork for the next Clinton presidency........
