Perbaps it would help if you read the report. It is not even remotely as bad as the media is playing it up to be. There is quite a bit of skepticism of global warming tossed in.

I think the overall consensus among those who are upset over this, and what many people posting aren't understanding and what Rush was pointing out is this; in isolation, this report maybe not as grave as some may be suggesting. However, it gives another illustration of a pattern of behavior among this administration, of sacrificing conservative principles for liberal issues and poll numbers. If Carl Rove and Bush think the only way to win is to take up liberal causes, then they truly have hijacked conservatism and flushed it.

There is little difference in the domestic agenda between what we would have seen with Gore, and what we are getting with Bush. In fact, I propose that on the domestic sense, we would have been better off with Gore, because House republicans would still have the will to fight. Now they are too busy pulling the Shank out of their back that Bush keeps stabbing them with. The fact is, if you are honest with yourselves, you will come to the conclusion that conservative ideals have been shredded. Carl wants to stay at 1600 PA. Ave. for 6 more years, and this is his way to do it. However, I will not support Bush blindly, and refuse to vote for him again. Two years ago, I would never have thought Bush would either compromise, or completely give in to the things he has (eg. campaign finance). Now, I find myself wondering, how long he will remain pro-life.. Bush is no more principled than Gore is. Its all to a political end, and power, and if you are honest with yourselves, you will draw the same conclusion.

The reason people are pissed is not because of this report alone. Its because they voted for what they thought was a conservative. And what they got was Massive Education Spending, the weakest of tax cuts, Stem Cell Research, luke warm support of Isreal, Wholesale Campaign Finance reform, banning oil exploration in florida to get his brother re-elected, and now giving political fuel to the Europeans to shove kyoto down our throat. Now honestly, how is this different from what Gore wanted to do ON THE DOMESTIC AGENDA?

Say what you will, but you don't win re-election by abandoning the principles people elected you on. Of all people Bush should know that.. ah-la Bush 41 losing in 92.
