More Federal money for Education? Hey no problem. Conservatives love it.
Higher Federal Tarrifs on imported steel at the cost of billions to taxpayers and consumers? Hey, conservatives love it.
Warrantless searches of mail and computers? Hey, conservatives love it.
More money for the two agencies who were responsible for the most massive inteligence failure in the history of mankind? Hey, conservatives love it.
Billions of dollars to Agri-business so farmers won't actually have to grow crops? Hey, conservatives love it.
I have a question for you RM; just what the hell is it you people are trying to 'conserve' anyway? It looks to me to be New Deal Liberalism. It sure isn't anything even remotely resembling a Republican form of government.

Being a conservative doesn't mean you throw away all your principles or all your politics either. The reality of politics in 21st century America, means you strive to get most of your agenda enacted and hold back, the agenda of your liberal-Democratic opponent. Come to think of it, that sounds like politics during the time of our Founding Fathers and for good reason.
I've already explained the serious gridlock that exists in Wash-DC. Political conservatives are in the minority and Republicans, barely hold a majority in the House, while liberals and Democrats comtrol the Senate. Bush isn't a dictator, he is a democratically elected leader and has to work within the limits and parameters of the political process.
Bottom line, the President has had numerous accomplishments in his short time in office and his handling of the war effort has been quite remarkable and highly successful.
Your dreaming if you expect perfection from our elected leaders. Thats never been the case throughout civilized history and isn't about to change any time soon. The world is an imperfect place to live and human beings are imperfect creatures. The sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be.
