Have you noticed that even once die hard Bush supporters are backing further and further away from him?

Question

But then explain, how they tend to look for another Bush agenda type again

Answer 1

Funny how all their questions either start or end with
"i'm not talking about the current administration"

They are as ashamed of this president as Colin Powell is for his role in the LIES THAT LED TO WAR

Answer 2

Is the person who asked this question a Native American? If not we must remeber that we are all the ancestors of immigrants that came here to make a better life for themselves. (Not opportunistic hordes) Doesn't the Statue of Liberty say give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I don't blame anyone trying to make a better life for themselves. The best way to adress this situation though is to adress the issue of world poverty. This would not only lead to a decline in the influx of immigrants but would also be a peaceful detterent to future terrorist attacks. World leaders need to get together and try to establish some sort of universal minnimum wage. As long as corporate America and business elites are allowed to exploit the labor of hard working immigrants. Immigrants will continue to migrate to America and perform the hardest and worse jobs here often. (working for less then most American citzens.) HEY "IIlegal immigration has always been a problem in America just ask the Native Americans."

Answer 3

It's just simple politics--some, not many, Republican senators are up for reelection and Bush is polarizing. Many more Republican Congressmen are up for reelection. If Bush's polarity can prevent their reelection, they will back away. It does not mean they don't agree with him in substance.

Answer 4

I was and am still a very stong Bush supporter. Just like many patriotic American citizens. Do not buy into the media hype. There are lots of Bush supporters out there.

Answer 5

You've fallen into the trap common to many 'progressives' that we are not capable of independent thought. You've also fallen into the trap common to many 'progressives' that our thinking and support is total. That we're incapable of agreeing with some initiatives and disagreeing with others. Conservatives are no different than liberals in their independence and individuality. It's simply just that our values and thinking on many or particular issues are different than those of liberals. You've bought into the common 'progressive' belief that conservatives are stupid, blind, racist and the whole nine yards. We're not. I'd be willing to bet a big donut that my education, IQ and compassion for my fellow Americans are equal to or greater than yours and that my thinking on most issues is as well considered, if not more so, than yours. 'Progressives' that speak as you speak appear to have an incredibly closed mind. One that buys into stereotypes and is, to a degree, bigoted as a result.

That being said, we...speaking as a stereotypical 'conservative'...are looking for a conservative. That figures, huh? We're not looking for another 'Bush', we're looking for someone, a conservative, that believes as we believe, thinks as we think and represents what we believe to be America's best interests. In some ways Bush has reflected these views and values but in MOST ways, he has not. Many of his initiatives have been quite liberal, socialistic and fiscally irresponsible. In the last 7 years he's co-opted many democratic initiatives, even to the point of working closely with an uber-liberal like Ted Kennedy! We don't like that! This is why he's so unpopular with conservatives.

Hope that helps.

Now then, please tell me, what is the 'Bush agenda'? You lost me there as I didn't even know he had one.

Answer 6

I have not noticed this. Personally, I am bored with the need of some to be on constant attack on the President, and I have just chosen to move on.

The Bush-bashing and the Bush-defending looks like one big merry go round, to me, and I'm a grown-up.

Answer 7

Even die hard Bush Defenders differ with him on some issues. We're not like Democrats who march blindly in lockstep with whatever the Commisar comes up with like the kids in the Pink Floyd "Wall" Movie.

Answer 8

First off, where is your evidence of this? Don't ask this question from a vacuum.

Second, I am a Bush supporter and I am not backing off.

Answer 9

The rats usually get off the sinking ship before the Captain. Although a few captains have jumped before the rats knew the ship was sinking.

Answer 10

Yes in fact I recall the same identical response to President Clinton at the end of his second term.
