I have to go with number 4 BUT with the qualifier that much of my complaint has to do with things that were done in response to 9/11 and as such it's hard to really gig him on it. Especially seeings how the Congress shares much of this blame. I guess, number 4, but tentatively and this complaint is against the gov't as a whole.

I think George W Bush needs to get reelected. Not just because the other side gets elected if not- but because I believe Dubya is a strong leader and he is slowly getting this ship turned around and going in the right direction. We're not going to undo all of Clinton's mischief in four years because it's more than a matter of just changing laws- it's changing the people's attitudes.

A lot of young people in America today have only ever known Clinton for a President for their whole lives (that they really remember or cared about). They were told this entire time that the GOP were a bunch of racists and Nazis and all kinds of other vile crap. It's going to take some time for us to turn that around and it's going to take a strong Republican to do that, and a clever one. People like Bush, that's a start. We need to get him reelected and America will have time to grow a new generation of teens/young adults that have only ever known Bush and then his Vice President (Condi hopefully) when she gets elected. We need to control the future of the Supreme Court (that is a huge bastion to keep and hold) and we need to take back the Senate and we NEED to reelect this President.

Bottom line, we're not going to be able to go straight to a land that most conservatives would be happy with overnight- it's going to be an arduous journey filled with many long battles that will wear us down- but we can never let up if we want to get where we want to be. People should be patient.

Yup, you got it. If the most conservative hard-line republican alive today was running for President, he'd probably get creamed. The people are not ready for it. And I doubt that there are millions of Republican voters sitting on their hands because Bush is not conservative enough. Not enough to offset the swing voters who will go for the Democrat if they see a "right-winger" on the Republican ticket. Best to hold the Whitehouse, retake the Senate so we can control the agenda and perhaps get some judges confirmed, build the majority in Congjress, and start whittling away at it.
