Please just read this and hear me out, it may be a bit rambling so my apologize. You know what is the sad part about this whole tragedy. We all want what is best for the country. We all hold GWB at least in some ways in high regards. And some of us, those who have been very critical of GWB on parts of his domestic agenda are just the tip of the iceberg. The have been numerous articles as of late warning that gwb is angering the base. And those of us, myself among them, who have publicly said that we cannot or will not support GWB know that he is the best one running that can win. We need to start finding ways to move GWB back to the right quickly so that those here who no longer support him will be given real and substantial reasons to reevaluate their choose. Both for them and for all the others out there who are not on this board, but are fed up with the leftist slant as of late. Because if GWB does not at least try to appease the base he very well could go the way of his father. We need to work to bring GWB back to the right and keep his feet to the fire so those of us who are cut loose from the reps now will support him in the fall. We do not need a leftist in the Whitehouse whether he be a rep or a dem

Hear Hear...great Post... I love Free Republic and all Freepers... When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned. There is no such thing as a no-man's land between honesty and dishonesty. Our strength lies in spiritual concepts. It lies in public sensitiveness to evil. Our greatest danger is not from invasion by foreign armies. Our dangers are that we may commit suicide from within by complaisance with evil, or by public tolerance of scandalous behavior. --Herbert Hoover NO KERRY 04

In a way, GW is an example of a classical conservative, in that he has no problem using government power, big government power at that, to implement "conservative" principles. However, he has really gone even beyond that, what with medical entitlements, and this new NEA welfare for artists promise. That stuff is actually leftist, IMO.

I'm starting to wonder who he really is.
