I am get very tired of listening to Rush bash and poke fun of Bush.

And most conservatives are getting tired of Bush selling them out.

Rush has always magnified the weaknesses he sees in Washington. The first time I ever heard him, he was raking the first Bush administration over the coals. It isn't that he doesn't support the president; it is that he challenges him to be the best he can be by exaggerating the dissenting voices within his own party.

I am personally disturbed by a lot of the all-or-nothing attitudes and the ensuing flaming going on on this forum lately. Why does everybody have to be labeled either a Bushbot or a Bush basher? Why can't we just support our president, but challenge him when we believe he is wrong? It is a far more loving thing to correct errors, or at least try to, than to ignore them and and instead allow them to drive a wedge between people. Why should this be any less true for the president than for anybody else we care about?

Come on...even when I was most peeved at Rush, I wasn't telling him to "shut up"!

He has a listenership and a following.

I myself am not among them.

I suggest you turn the dial and find yourself a nice Bush-Right-Or-Wrong talkshow host if you're going to get yourself in a snit with one of Rush's rare disagreements with our President.

Not to worry, there are PLENTY of them out there.

The very FIRST order of business for Congress last year, while Republicans still had the majority in the Senate,
was to authorize back payments to the UN.
8 years of klintoon to clean up and this was their 1st priority.

You're free to stop listening. I think Rush needs to keep the heat on Bush. Either Bush is getting really bad advice from his advisors or he's a linguine-spined moderate who can't take a pee without taking a poll first.

If Bush were to actually behave like a conservative, then Rush could play cheerleader instead of critic. Here's just a little quote to think about:

“Karl Rove tells me that you're thinking about running. What are you going to run on, Tom? Patients' Bill of Rights? I'm for it. Enron? I'm against it. Campaign reform? I'll sign it. Child care? Tom, I'm gonna expand child care to those who don't even have children." --George W. Bush at the Gridiron Dinner, Mar. 2002

Does Bush believe in the superiority of traditional conservatism? If so, doesn't he realize that capitulating and me-too-ing the Democratic positions will lead undecided voters to believe that the Republicans are conceding the moral superiority of Democratic positions?

Doesn't he understand that compromising on principles will alienate the core constituency of the Republican Party and suppress the voter turnout on election night?
