Bush obviously thinks conservatives can be safely jettisoned in place of a larger group of liberals and "moderates" he can pick up by going ever left and growing government to gain their support. What he fails to realize is that liberals aren't going to jettison their own base or leftist ideology and values to rush to his candidacy in 2004. In short, they will play up to him, all the while planning to stab him in the back come November. It's political rope-a-dope. Of course Bush will gain liberal votes, he already has, but not to the extent that it will put him over the top against his Democrat opponent, especially when liberals en masse will vote for the Democrat candidate regardless of what Bush does. As for Republicans, they will split into three groups: dropouts who will stay home, suckers who will drink the Bush Koolaid no matter what and cast a vote for him anyway, and committed conservatives that will vote a third party or also stay home. At this point I have no reason to further support a man who has done as Clinton did, to destroy the base of his own party and sell it out for more power and a second term.

I never supported him to start with. I didn't vote for him and won't vote for him in '04.He's behaving the way his daddy did. Wobbly would just suddenly, apropos to nothing from his own party's policy, announce his support for some liberal malarkey. That's how he did with his ban on importaion of "assault rifles". He obviously didn't care whether he got a second term and his boy doesn't care either.

Wobbly got a fair amount of Reagan's base to vote for him the first time. The second time, he got the koolaid drinker vote. W managed a squeaker the first time and won't even get that a second time, IMO.
