Sorry, but you can't lay the blame for this on the President. Maybe you haven't noticed, but GWB is far more conservative than the rest of the Republican party, as this vote tonight shows.

GW Bush created this moment tonight. I think the GOP is currently hemorrhaging voters as a result of the border issue. Someone earlier on this thread said that 160,000 fewer people voted in SC today in the Republican primary than in 2000. If that's true, it's a staggering number.

Personally, I'm about to change my registration to Independent or (*gasp*) Democrat. Why? What's the point of being a Republican in a state where the GOP is as liberal as the Democrats (NJ) and has absolutely no chance to win a state-wide election? At least as a Democrat, I have a chance to vote against the most odious of them in the primaries.

That makes no sense at all. Where are Tancredo, Hunter, and now Thompson? How the hell did McCain take a southern state with an illegal alien problem?

That's just plain silly.
