Conservative lawmakers and activists disappointed with President Bush's first 18 months in office are calling into question his tactics and strategy in advancing the conservative agenda.
"The president for the most part has been our guy," said House Majority Leader Dick Armey, Texas Republican and a prominent conservative on Capitol Hill. "A few times we disagree."

Criticizing Bush is a vote for Hillary or Gore in 2004.
That's good. Voting Libertarian is the best way to reform the Republican party.
What a short memory you have, I guess pulling out the global court will accelerate globalism.
Of course your problem may not be a short memory but a small brain.
We hear a lot from some people here how Bush must move to the middle to get re-elected and that politicians only do what the people want.
There is some validity in that, but it overlooks the need to maintain the loyalty of the 'hard-core'. I think more and more conservatives will just sit the next one out if things continue in this same direction (unless the opponent is Hillary! which would get us out no matter what).
I do not think that a few 'culturally conservative' jestures will be enough to get a lot of people back with interest.

No To 'Compassionate Conservatism'

Bush Says He Wants to Let Clinton 'Move On'
"Listen, here's my view: I think it's time to get all of this business behind us. I think it's time ... to allow the president to finish his term, and let him move on and enjoy life and become an active participant in the American system. And I think we've had enough focus on the past. It's time to move forward." - George W. Bush.
Bush Won't Dwell On Clinton Affair, "We're Moving Forward"
"B/S, Mr Bush. Clinton is a criminal and a traitor. We demand a thorough investigation and prosecution. Our Republic is dead and our liberty is at stake if the next administration does not clean up this mess for now and forever more. Corrupt politicians must pay the price for subverting our Constitution and using their offices for personal gain."

Yeah, well if he gets any smaller share of the vote than last time he's a goner. Watch him, Tom. "But he can win and still push the conservative agenda. We don't have to win at any price. We can win at a smaller price."
It's more likely that he can win only by pushing the conservative agenda. If he doesn't get cracking, him and Congress too, the fall elections are going to finish the GOP in Congress. Bush has been caving in and calling it winning. That only fools a handful of koolaid drinkers who want to be fooled.
Dear God, why are Bush lovers allowed to whine like howler monkeys because a few copy and paste jobs of well-researched links smash the myth of their hero?
It looks more to me like "a vote for Bush is a vote for Hillary and Gore". Vote for Bush, get Kennedy's wish list for education enacted as law in the interest of "bipartisanship".
The Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha Mashiach) said:
Lu 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division.

Re 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
>Criticizing Bush is a vote for Hillary or Gore in 2004.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. The way things are going, there may not be another election. It is better to hold to truth and let the chips fall where they may.
Well said! Bush has probably already lost the conservative base, and will express astonishment at the Democrat gains in November.
