The rest of us will be out doing our part to stop Al Qaeda in spite of you.
What has that to do with the many problems that Dubya has created for us right here at home? ANY conservative would have done the same job in Afghanistan and Iraq, that Dubya has done. But, REAL conservatives would not be opening our borders (which, by the way, has the potential for allowing Al-Qaida operatives to pass), increasing spending, increasing the size and power of the federal government or violating the provisions of the Constitution, as Dubya has done and continues to do.
Right now, I would be glad to vote for ANY conservative. Unfortunately, Dubya doesn't even come close to qualifying on that criteria.
"Compassionate Conservatism" is just a code phrase for "LIBERAL".
