Criticizing Bush is something I engage in from time to time myself. I've even seen you criticize Bush, but I don't remember you "bashing" him, other then the prosecute Clinton threads, where you called me and others, "move-a-longers". Think I've got that right. Hey Mud.
>>>but Bush appears willing to sacrifice this goal in a HailMary attempt to attract those who you and I adamantly disagree with!!</i.
Sorry my friend, I don't consider political independents, as those I adamantly oppose on all issues. Without those independents, Bush would have never won election. Many Americans who are politically unattached and see President Bush as someone who is making a real effort to lead the entire nation and not just Republicans or the conservatives. After all, he became POTUS under extreme circumstances and he owes it to ewvery citizen to give it his all, in the name of one nation.
LOL...still too many folks out there willing to allow Clinton to go free despite committing a multitude of crimes that would have any of the rest of us in the pokey 'til the day we die, but that's another thread!!

"Sorry my friend, I don't consider political independents, as those I adamantly oppose on all issues. Without those independents, Bush would have never won election."
Yes, my FRiend, but without his Conservative base, he may not have even fended off McCain...sure, we need to expand our base, but we can do so while simultaneously championing conservative legislation. Maybe that's what Dubyuh's been planning all along as he signs off on all this Milquetoast Moderate legislation in the short-term...I sure hope he gives us RadicalRightWingers some ammo as we continue to try and make the case to our voting compadres that the GOP is indeed markedly different than the RATS!!
"Many Americans who are politically unattached and see President Bush as someone who is making a real effort to lead the entire nation and not just Republicans or the conservatives. After all, he became POTUS under extreme circumstances and he owes it to every citizen to give it his all, in the name of one nation."
IMHO, Conservatism is inherently Compassionate, and Dubyuh and his GOP Congressional Ticket would be well-served to take that reality to the voters this Fall. If we make some sincere promises as to what Conservative Legislation will be enacted when a Majority GOP Senate and House is seated next January, I believe we'll be ecstatic with the results come this November!!
