: Bush to conservatives: Agree with me on amnesty or you're anti-American

It looks as though he is looking for a consensus and has managed to make everyone Anti- Bush. Congratulations Mr President.

Like Gawain said, he's finally becoming a uniter - soon everyone will hate him.

The really sad part of all this is that we must put up with another year and a half of his non-sense. I shudder to think how much lower he can go and will he be able to drag the country with him. And to think I had such high hopes for Bush when he was elected. Now I just wish he'd go away.

I'm intrigued by the levels of conservative disillusionment that have developed over the last couple of years.

Just as a straw poll, is there anyone here who would vote for George W Bush again - on his merits and record to date - should it be possible?

I know much of the political process depends on choosing between candidates, but I'm interested to see if any supporters still have some confidence in President Bush.

No, no, and hell no. Not even if it was him or Kerry. Bush might well lose Iraq, but at least Kerry would have done it quicker.

As for the straw that broke the back - I'd say a year or so ago, when Bush started his push for Amnesty.

I was never really happy with him as president, I had wished for a better choice in 2000, but I was sure that I didn't want Gore in the White House. Doesn't really matter anyway, since Virginia usually goes close to 60/40 GOP/Dem for the presidential election. By 2004, I was already fed up the theft of our liberties, the incompetence apparent in the administration, and the realization that we were sold a bag of lies to invade in the first place. So I threw my vote away and checked the Libertarian box. No way I was voting for Kerry. And, again, I live in Virginia, so it didn't matter. If Bush could run again, I would probably vote for whatever idiot the Dems nominate, even Hillary, and pray that Congress flips back to the GOP.

Having 2 big parties hurts, but I don't think it would be so bad if the nomination process were changed. The current process is just one long money-sucking charlie foxtrot.

A vote is never thrown away so long as it is used, even in protest.

If the dems had run Lieberman for pres they might have actually won . Bush did talk a good game however before he was elected. Thats why I dont take much stock in the debates. They try to tell you what you want to hear but rarely come through. The republican class of what was if 96 is a good example of being swallowed by the machine.
