Re: At what point will conservatives admit Bush has gone too far?
First, happy birthday.
Second, there are some conservatives that would not admit that Bush has gone too far even if he announced that he was dissolving Congress, cancelling the 2006 and 2008 elections, and assuming power "indefinitely" in the name of national security. They would say that these are "temoporary" measures that are necessary because we are at war. More to the point, they would cheer any maneuver, no matter how undemocratic, unconstitutional or unprincipled, that kept their side in power. |

Seriously though, there are no conservatives who would support any of the measures Elliot mentioned. He's clearly confused as to what a conservative is. |

So have you not been reading BluffTHIS's posts, or are you saying that he is somehow not a conservative. |

[/ QUOTE ] Elliot is able to read between the lines and discern the fact that I am advocating Bush dissolving congress and ruling by decree, from the fact that I agree with the Patriot Act and some minimal restrictions on our liberties during time of war. I'm surprised the rest of you aren't as perceptive. |
