... and then you'll be sorry!
Highly recommend that conservatives wake up and smell reality.
If they are not voting for Bush, we will get Kerry and God save us all!
Remember, the 500 votes that put Bush over the top. Just think if those 500 people had stayed home on election day.
Each vote DOES count.
Here are some conservatives, with names -- read the article -- ready to cut off their nose to spite their face.
If it wasn't for the frightening reality that Kerry could be elected POTUS, I would just enjoy watching Hillary squirm.
Somehow, if it looks like Kerry will beat W as we get close to November, he will have to promise the witch something just to keep her from sabotaging his candidacy. Maybe Secretary of State?
I counted three names of conservatives who might or might not vote for Bush.
Three. And one of them has a book to peddle.
The purpose behind this story is to dispirit weak-kneed conservatives by pretending that three people selected by the reporter constitute a trend, while burying the truth ("A Pew Research Center poll last month found that 97 percent of conservative Republicans favored Bush over Kerry") in the middle of the story.
Who do you think the reporter will vote for in November?
Don't go wobbly just because the AP says you should.
"Some Republicans fear angry conservatives will stay home in November, undercutting Bush's re-election bid."
AND LET KERRY/EDWARDS TAKE OVER? NOT A CHANCE!! HOPEFULLY THE GOP CONSERVATIVE BASE WHO PUNISHED BUSH THE FIRST FOR HIS "READ MY LIPS" RETREAT, LEARNED THEIR LESSON. THEIR LITTLE PROTEST VOTE FOR ROSS PEROT GAVE US 8 YEARS OF BILL AND HILLARY.
---Yet, Halper said his critical review on the administration's performance on Iraq last week was met with expressions of support in the conservatives' weekly meeting, which is closed to journalists.---
If the meeting is closed to journalists how did the Chronicle write this report? Just another liberal wet dream?

Same article with different title.
Good info on the "conservatives" in replies .
"Some Republicans fear angry conservatives will stay home in November, undercutting Bush's re-election bid."
if there are some conservative that stupid, you deserve Kerry and boy wonder.
Conservatives Will NOT stay home. This is a pipedream and they know it.
I realize every conservative can rattle of a litany of what Bush hasn't done to please them. If the people registering the complaints wish to be taken seriously then they must also list the President's accomplishments. Otherwise, the complaints do not register.
Mmmm hmmm.
The prison fiasco didn't bother me much, although it was a big embarrassment, watching our guys act like drunken high school kids...My problem with Iraq is that I honestly did not feel they were a direct threat to the United States. We could have keep that country under wraps with airpower for decades, killing or destroying anything that even appeared to be militarily *offense* in nature.
More than likely we could have even taken out Saddam and his kids, without putting one single soldier on the ground. I have no doubt about this.
I am actually more disturbed about the epic fraud and chaos being created by the invasion of our country by the millions enter illegally, routinely, at will, as this administration stands winking and nodding.
I happen to be a man of principle, one who believes that this attack on our borders and sovereignty is every bit as dangerous as any terrorist. This is *compounded* by the fact that trucks with unknown loads are entering this country as we speak from Mexico. Trucks that are routinely packed with hundreds of illegals, could easily be packed with something else. Mexico is a country where the law enforcment can be bribed with prostitues, and small amounts of cash.
Unlike some others, I take my vote *very* seriously, and only those that share my principals will get my vote.
First of all, I'll believe what the SF Chronicle thinks about conservatives when I believe what Al Jazeera thinks about the War on Terror. They have no credibility here.
Secondly, I don't know a single conservative who believes all the BS the liberals are painting about the War in Iraq. The war is an undeniable success. We are making all the Middle East's garbage come to Iraq so we can snuff them out one at a time. That beats the prospect of having them come here and snuff out American civilians without warning.
I certainly hate the loss of life but if someone had told me in March 2003 that the U.S. could overthrow Saddam and institute a new (hopefully U.S.-friendly) government in Iraq with a loss of 1,000 U.S. troops, I would have said that was a bargain. Had Saddam truly had the WMDs we suspected, he could have wiped out that many in one day.
The benefits are huge. We've improved Israel's security. We've opened up a new source of oil so we can barter the Saudis from a position of strength. My hope is that we will get a military base somewhere in Iraq that will give us quick-strike capability to respond to anything done by Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran, Yemen, etc. And we're diffusing the bomb that is Islamic Jihadists.
I have major disagreements with some of what the Bush administration has done domestically. I also believe they have not been forceful enough in making their case on any number of issues where they needed to be more vocal. But I see no reason why conservatives in any serious number would abandon Bush over Iraq.
This is just a liberal wet dream as far as I'm concerned. It's not going to happen.
Are they suggesting that conservatives don't believe the Iraqi people were worthy of our intervention.
It's either Kerry in 04 or Hillary in 08. Which is the worse of two evils? IMHO Hillary's criminal ways surpass Kerry's by a mile and while Kerry is an elite socialist, Hillary is a rabid Marxist.
If Gore were president now, people would have seen through him and his nonresponse to 9/11, and we'd be gearing up for a clean sweep by conservative Republican candidates, instead of lingering outside the banquet-hall doors of the Yacht Club wing of the Party.
Inside, Mary Matalin is dancing cheek-to-cheek with the Log Cabins, illegal immigrants are serving drinks and canape's with Democratic voter-registration cards in their back pockets, and corporate moneyrunners are congratulating one another on how many Americans they've fired in the last four years.
I'm supposed to get excited about what I see?
Where ARE the conservatives? Not at the party, that's for sure.
Hutchinson is an outright liar. A freeper neighbor of Tom Hutchinson said he certainly did NOT post any Bush yard signs in 2000.

General Franks deserves a ticker tape parade down Madison Avenue.
Both Afghanistan and Iraq were of strategic importance in this war without regards to whether or not they had WMDs or whether or not their populations received the collateral benefit of a better government. No apology is needed for taking targets of strategic importance.
The fact that both were taken with fewer casualties than was suffered on 9-11, is just icing on the cake.
On the flip side…any service that Kerry might have rendered to the country in Vietnam was more than erased by the disservice that he rendered on his return home from that war. Remember… one aw-$hit erases a dozen atta-boys.
