My point about the loaded words and name calling you use is that it is not honest. There are plenty of legitimate beefs to address rather than "Hillary has a big ass" or some such red herring.
The Conservative vote was what got him in the Presidency...
The Conservatives supported his move on Saddam's Regime...
The Conservatives supported his war on terrorism...
The Conservatives rightly thought there was about to be a turn around and that the nation might start swinging away from the LEFT...
The Conservatives thought he would speak like a Conservative but he didn't even try to speak TO the Conservatives...
I admit I am confused by your response. These are all things that conservatives and Bush support in absolute lockstep. You also forgot about all of the judges appointments made, signing statements, etc that pushed the conservative agenda.
I have yet to see where in a situation where liberals and conservatives disagree, Bush has fallen on the liberal side. Not a single issue. I wouldn't call him a moderate at all, where one would see some kind of position in the middle.
In every case listed... he was a dismal failure and it was because of his masquerade as a Conservative...
He's president (as opposed to Gore/Kerry)
He deposed and executed Saddam
He is so committed to the war on terror that it doesn't care how much it costs, he doesn't care that the military budget is such a mess that it is impossible to tell congress where the money is going.
How can he be at fault for which way the country swings (left or right)? His actions on traditional conservative values.
As a Moderate (At Best) he was simply not of a mindset that could accomplish what he set out to do... He even diddled around with the MUCH HATED UN instead of "gittin' 'er done".
Like "shooting just to wound", his Daddy thought a kick in the pants was enough for Saddam, and then the son thought another half-fast effort would be sufficient.
So your real complaint and justification for the use of the word treachery is that he didn't turn the middle-east into a glass parking lot? I know why I would use the word, still trying to figure out why you are.
I would think such things such as sending soldiers into a war zone with inadequate body armor, with under-armored humvees, while putting the cost of the war outside of the budget, and without an exit strategy would raise your ire more. Then there is the nepotism, too. Jack Abramoff showed a heck of a lot we all should be pissed about.
Who cares that Bush "diddled" with the U.N. It's not like they had Colin Powell go up there and tell the truth! What, that delayed things like 3 months and COULD have swayed world opinion over to our side. That a reasonable risk / reward scenario and doesn't have anything to do with conservatism.
It has ONLY been since the November election that ANY conservative voices have even thought to consider thinking that Bush hasn't done exactly as they asked. Where have these voices been?
And, to sum up nicely to the thread topic, are these the type of people that should be voters? (ok, totally joking, tipping my hat to the prior post of childish insults)
Maybe I'm a cynic for assuming that all politicians are corrupt to some level and need oversight at all times. Nobody gets a free pass.
