Rush is ripping and ripping and ripping Bush a new one. Seems this goes on everyday. Perhaps because it's deserved. Had Gore done as many left turns, "conservatives" would be outraged. With Bush in charge, there seems to be a large crowd operating on "der fuehrerprinzip" - anything the "leader" does must be right. One thing's for sure - Bush will get neither my money or my vote this time unless dramatic, sweeping and unlikely changes take place. Like a little justice from the Injustice Department. Or like some actual reduction in government, instead of profligate, unwarranted and continuous expansion.

I appreciate your sentiment, but I would like to point out (AGAIN) that just because I don't agree with Rush's criticisms of the President, that does not mean I am a person who is blindly supporting the Fuhrer. Puh-leeze.
I just simply do not agree that most of Rush's criticisms are deserved. You, on the other hand, apparently think they are deserved. That doesn't mean I'm blindly loyal to Bush; it just means I am evaluating his performance differently than you are.
It gets pretty tiresome, every time a person thinks a criticism of the president is not well-founded, he gets slammed as a butt-kisser.
I'll walk away from Bush in a heartbeat if I conclude that is justified. But I sure as h-e-double-toothpicks won't walk over some dumb-glute paper on global warming. You may not agree with my conclusion, but don't label me a goosestepper, okay?

Good point, a so-called conservative who promotes a liberal agenda, is more dangerous than a liberal because he can get away with it. In the long run, there is no more disasterous path for conservatism to take than to slowly morph into liberalism. What is going on here is that a few bones are being thrown to conservatives on specific issues, but the overall direction is moving left. For "Old Right" conservatives, the overriding issue was the size and role of government. The modern conservative movement has abandoned any pretense of limiting government to its constitutional mandates. The growth of government has been GREATLY accelerated under Bush and that is of more concern to me than all of the other single issues put together.
