“given the rather current focus on Privacy...particularly internet privacy...Id say this was about the most negative stunt anyone could have allowed....”
At least it clears the field for better conservatives, by allowing us to paint Bush as an idiot RINO not up to the challenges of our times.
We can look to better Constitutional Conservtives like Ted Cruses, Rand Paul, Rick Perry, ect.. We just need to get the conservtive movement to settle on one and rally behind him. This is particularly important as the left is likely to pick one of their own radicals.
