This entire thread is the reason I do not post as much as I used to do, and in fact don't read as many posts here as I once did.

In my opinion, the enemy is Tom Daschle and Hillary Clinton, not George Bush. But of course, anything I say is because I am a Bushbot and not a "true conservative."

Well, all the "true conservatives" need to realize that many, many lurkers read this forum. The "true conservatives'" nastiness to those they oppose is not winning any converts. Nor is it converting Bushbots. What they are doing is driving people away from the conservative position. Maybe that is what they really want.

I don't know why people are the way they are. But I do know that I much prefer President Bush's way of conducting politics to the slash and burn, personal attacks of some of these people, who to me sound just like James Carville.

I don't think most of them remember President Bush saying he was a "uniter not divider" and that he intended to end 'gridlock' in Washington as we know it. That means to me if the Congress is sending him legislation then they are the peoples representatives sent there by the ppl to do their work, thus he'll sign it. He intended to work with both sides of the aisle to reduce the gridlock and he's done that. Now he's not gotten all he wanted nor has any one faction either. That's life....

Illegitimus Non Carborundum

If you think the howler-monkey wingnuts are annoying to you just think about how terrible it would be to be them, to never know a moment's happiness, to never have friends who weren't raving cranks, too look in the mirror and see yourself looking back.

I'm not saying you should pity them, I'm saying you should derive some satisfaction from their self-torment.

How'd you like the "cut Bush some slack" demand followed by the "agree with this or you're a crackpot" jab to start things off?
Gotta love that coalition-building.

What do you mean slash and burn? Is standing up for what you believe slash and burn? Is doing what you said you'd do slash and burn? Early in in GW's presidency he was fulfilling his promises and the liberal media was shocked that a politician was keeping his word. Now that he's started to change on several positions have you noticed how the media have let up on him? Coincidence?

Now if you take the extremes like he should mandate all abortions be illegal and challenge it in the Courts and that he should try and pass a flat tax right this very moment--then yes that is slash and burn. Especially since it isn't what he promised during the election. All I want is for him to keep his promise. He promised me things and I promised him my vote. I delivered on my promise--has he delivered on his?
