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.

No, it's a "You can't do jacksquat if you're on the outside looking in while the Democrats govern" speech.
Cripes, I never realized that my fellow conservatives could be so jackass-ignorant.

When Bush moves to the left, he's not doing it to appeal to the Dems. They are beyond any appeals he could make. What he is doing is going after the moderates/independents/non ideologial pragmatists that decide presidential elections.

Basically, true conservatives (not neocons) are getting the shaft. The message is: "Where else are you gonna go?"
