I don't know what the heck a "core" conservative is, but I sure don't want to be one, especially if their hallmark is the fair weather support on display from many here on FR, as well as from chattering heads like Limbaugh, Hannity, Kristol, et. al.

Why do you think it is so easy to caricature the conservatives as a bunch of brainless bozos? Look at the glee with which Bush is attacked on a daily basis around here, it is a miracle that any conservative can win and retain any office with the fair weather backstabbers who compose the conservative movement.

I am with you re what a so called core republican/conservative is.

It is a recycled buzz word/mantra in an attempt to disguise the reality that few have vote republican since Reagan. So we are supposed to be in fear when these real Corish Conservatives say for the 10,000 time, that they are leaving and will never vote for GW again.

I welcome the soccer moms, the Jewish Americans, the Mexican America citizens and the new wave of black conservatives since 9/11. We can learn a lot from each other in this November's election when we de Rat the senate by defeating those in old and new Bush country.

Your observations are right on, people are treating this like a game, but it is very serious.

If the badguys manage to detonate even a dirty bomb, make a stinger type missile attack against the capital, all bets are off - the economy goes into free fall, martial law is declared, you name it the sky is the limit

I have nothing but contempt for Limbaugh now, Hannity, Michael Savage and the rest of these imbeciles who would cut the legs off Bush just to spike their ratings.

Screw them I will never listen to them again.
