I haven't been here long, but I've seen a lot of folks claiming to be conservatives who do nothing but denounce our President, thus in effect proclaiming their support for Howard Dean and Hillary Clinton. Disagreeing with the President does not equal supporting Dean or Hillary. Conservatives are not supposed to be slavish followers of the party line. When the president screws up, people should call him on it.
I don't trust any government enough to give it immunity from criticism.

When the president screws up, people should call him on it. I agree, and I've been critical of the President's decision to negotiate with terrorists (e.g. Khaddafi). But where I would argue that people go over the line is when they proclaim that they aren't going to vote for him, or they will vote 3rd party, in effect casting a vote for Howard Dean.
