Just watch now as conservatives abandon Bush in droves.

Maybe not for this issue, but watch for the reaction to the spate of liberal policies that Bush has been (and continues to be) signing into law. Seems that Rove is a Dick Morris wannabe. Does "triangulation" mean you get to stay in power by enacting the opposing party's agenda? If so, I want nothing of it. Beyond enacting a CONSERVATIVE agenda (which is why I voted for Bush), I HAVE NO USE FOR HIM. He needs to know that he is VERY CLOSE to losing me. How could he sign CFR, and follow that by increasing farm subsidies by 80% (albeit over ten years -- but I thought the era of big government was over!) He has done nothing to enforce border security (doesn't need Congressional approval for this!). And where are the conservative judicial nominies? I keep hearing of Bush's astronomical approval numbers. But, if nothing comes of the approval rating, to me, it is worth about as much as a bucket of warm spit.

Here's how it goes for me if Bush keeps this up. First, I withhold financial contribution to the party (and I am significant "small" contributor -- thousand$ per year!). Second, I cancel all Republican Party outreach effort (and I do a lot of work in my town). Third, I refuse to vote. Period. End of story.

Sad to say, I am considering step one today.

I agree with you but will add that Bush has also done absolutely nothing to investigate chinagate, pardongate, trashgate, etc. etc. Plus, all those clinton cronies are still at the IRS, DOJ, FBI, etc. He talks a good tough talk on terrorism (as long as the terrorists aren't palestinian), but he is a wimp when it comes to obstructionist democrats (stalling of judgeships). Ashcroft has done a disappearing act since he became AG.

The Presidency has been transformed into a popularity show. I'm disgusted by the Republican Party - they sold out and you can color me gone right now.

Consider sending those contributions to Tom Tancredo. He's willing to take the heat for his tough stand against illegal immigration.
