You want me to keep going or have you had enough? I don't care if you support Bush, that's your choice, I'm tired of the bashing of clear eyed people because they see him for what he is. The lame statement, "their just mad because he doesn't do everything they want", how about the truth, he does NOTHING conservatives want. He's batting zero with alot of good people and it doesn't make them the DU underground movement, it doesn't make them whiney babies, it doesn't make them Gore supporters, and it darn sure doesn't make them "ignorant of how politics work".
If you want me to add more to this list, just let me know, I can go on and on, downpayments for minority housing, no guns for pilots in the cockpit. I can't wait to see your list.
b. Telling Isreal to end their war on terror and just die.
I guess I will have to look elsewhere for the no-spin zone. The above are perhaps the two most eggregious examples, and by listing only them, I don't mean to exclude others.
Yes Bush has been a moderate president, and it is understandable that hard line conservatives wish for something different, particularly those not attuned to political constraints. And it is right and appropriate to point that out. But the above is not constructive.
By the way, as a moderate to moderate conservative, I am by and large quite pleased with Bush. My main beef with him is the steel tariff, which I don't think was political necessary (certainly not the size of it), and the ditto for the farm bill (certainly not the size of it).
