Tom Roeser's credentials as an undoubted conservative Republican simbly cannot be challanged without the challanger running the risk of sounding like a crackpot.
He is a politically-savvy commentator who is often Seen and heard on local radio and TV in the Chicago area and so is a known quantity.

Thanks for the post, quidnunc, it sums up my feelings very well and much better than I could have. The remainder of the article is also worth a read, especially by those Republicans who are threatening to vote Democrat because "it doesn't make any difference".

Unfortunately, far too many "conservatives" have seen the movie "Braveheart" which is why you see true conservatives joking, schmoozing and generally getting along with the loyal opposition while those in the former category adopt the slash and burn philosophy of politics. (It's also the reason why the former are forever bitterly disappointed and have very little, if any, influence).

Yet, Bush has to get re-elected in a country that is evenly divided on philosophy. Thus he must occasionally on matters that sometimes offend conservatives dip into the other side's ideology for support. He has done so on three notable occasionsGive me a break!
I think the count is eleven (11) and rising daily or weekly depending on the depth of your conservatism.
To: quidnunc
He has done so on three notable occasionsWell that is one convenient memory....the farm bill and the education bills are anything but conservative and as egregious as the steel quotas.
Except for 9/11 and related matters, Bush has at best been a mediocre President thus far....but mediocre is not all that bad, as there has been one outstanding President, two horrible, and the remaining mediocre since 1968.

I agree. Although CFR was betrayal enough for me. This guy is entitled to his opinion but the reason conservatives gripe is because our leaders sell us out. (not all of them, some make me very proud) Liberals walk in lockstep.

The whole article sounds like a "My Party, right or wrong" speech. It is true that sometimes compromise with an opposing party must be done. However, no matter how much this President "dips in" to the Democratic Liberal agengda...The Dem's will not be satisfied and only want MORE consessions. Strong Conservative support elected Bush, and I too fear he is loosing his "grassroots" due to the onslaught of Liberal policies.
For the writer to say many Conservatives that voted for Bush just do not understand and "stay in their ivory towers", without critisizing policies, is laughable. Conservative voters are not stupid....many speak out because "turning the other cheek" is not, and has not worked for a long time.

And yet he has done absolutely nothing to help the millions of innocent babies who are being murdered in cold blood on a daily basis. Why should I cut President Bush any slack?Be patient, Tabitha. When he appoints his new Chief Justice, everything will change!
To: Grampa Dave
what should the list be called :-)
