What is the GOP koolaide flavor of the month? If you really believe what you said then how do you deal with GWB signing the CFR bill? Or, how do you deal with the idea that GWB desires to make criminals (criminal aliens) legal by Presidential fiat? GWB is of the GOP but he is not conservative by a longshot unless you are talking in relative terms only.
CFR is one of the most useless pieces of legislation ever and has in no way impeded the electoral process. Perhaps it escaped your notice that last election was dominated by the Swiftboats Vets ads? And that there was NO reduction of free speech merely through controls on Parties (which our Founders never wanted at all)?
Bush proposes to do NOTHING by presidential fiat wrt illegals. It would be an act of Congress. But not being a real conservative you would not get your facts straight.
GWB is so conservative that he drives the RATmedia and its believers insane with rage. Faux conservatives also do not like him believing that some "more" conservative candidate is available.
Of course, true conservatives well understand there was NO more conservative candidate available. And they understand there IS NO more conservative candidate available. Bush was the MOST conservative governor in the nation which anyone knowledgeable of politics must admit.
Faux conservatives propose candidates capable of getting defeated but not winning. Hence, no one serious pays any attention to their raving.
