The only real conservatives in office today are in the House of Representatives.

Good point. The Conservatives just don't have the numbers or horsepower to to have a significant effect or to make demands on any party. Yet when they don't get their way, they lash out at everybody and alienate friend and foe. They have to grow up.

Bush is... was... an unbelievably popular president for his successes overseas.

He had an opportunity to use his political capital to make needed changes to our system of government.

Instead, he increased spending on everything. I can't exaggerate the magnitude of what he has done. He didn't just fail to give me everything I asked for. :) He has done his best to run in the opposite direction!

How is this not a personal failing? If I'm to accept that Bush isn't a conservative, then why even get involved? Why are you here? Why am I here?

I don't care that much about stem cells. Sorry. I guess that's supposed to make up for his very real assault on our government finances.

"they lash out at everybody and alienate friend and foe."

Careful... perhaps you noticed that I live in Massachusetts and can safely be insulted and brushed off as a crank, but we have real conservatives in states that matter on this thread. Their objections won't be dismissed as easily by the Bushbot Bridgade.
