will conservatives learn their lesson and stop being a rubber stamp for bush?

I am not a rubber stamp for Bush.  I have my own views and it just happens to be in the same thinking mode as him on SOME issues.  My views are completely opposite of the liberals, that does not make me a puppet.  I hold my values, morals, ethics, God, my Country, my Troops, my Veterans, my POWs very dear to me.  Sadly, the liberals don't hold those same views.\n\nAmerica will learn a bad lesson in the next two years.

As fair disclosure, I'm probably somewhere considerably to the left of moderate.\n\nFor me, it's not the party that matters as much as the person's motivation for having that political philosophy.  Any conservative who is a conservative purely because of their religion or their heritage is a lost cause.  So is any liberal who only hates Bush because they think it's cool, since they heard that Green Day does it too.\n\nHowever, if someone has formed their views by studying the issues first-hand, thinking about their own system of values, and researching the tenets that their country (the U.S., in my case) were built on, then they will probably be able to discuss politics pretty rationally.

Conservatives:\n\nDefend Bush and his mess in Iraq\n\nDefend sexual predators in their party.\n\nTwist words of Democrats when they are desperate.\n\nAre leaving their own party in droves by now.\n\nThose who stay in the now-stale "Neo-Right" are shameless.\n\nAnd immoral.

No, many of them are policy developers. If you look around many of the very ones who advocated the war in Iraq are stepping back and heaping blame on Bush as being the primary factor in our failure there.

You're going to get some real heat over this question. Conservatives will say you are not entitled to your opinions. Whenever a liberal administration takes over, you will see the world will step back from the brink.  I just pray we don't get past the 'tipping point' (see link). \nConservatives care about conservatives, but liberals care about everyone.

I have to agree with you BUT, the NEOCONS, don't call them selves neocons, they call them selves Conservative. I do not think in any sense of the word 75% of normal republicans from pre Bush days agree with that. Most of them are normal caring people who were Republicans because they believed in small government, financial responsibility and less interference from the government who are very disillusioned right now I just feel the present Administration of Neocons teach this what you list, They target uneducated, unhappy and unguided people and tell them the liberals are why they are so unhappy, and because they are so misguided and unhappy to begin with they believe them. Look at all the blanket hate messages you see against anyone against Bush, its sad, people need to look at this as a right vs wrong thing, not a us vs them thing. Its just sad to see our own TV teaching us hate, how many times do you see the term liberal used in a negative way, on TV, was NEVER like this till Bush and the Neocons got here and sad to say so many closed minded ignorant people who follow blindly  No wonder why many people think were ugly americans. Just wish people would look at facts and whats right or wrong instead of sides no matter what

Isn't that what the Conservatives are now doing? I do not want to live in a dictatorship and it seems as if that is what bush is all about.

The arrogant republicans have learned a lesson from this election.

Though I am not a liberal, I have found that wacko conservatives are more stubborn know it alls than are liberals. Personally, I think both are retarded, but that's just the opinion of a hard line moderate.

Yes. Where shall we send them? Come up with something, quick! By the way, it's not conservatives. The conservative party has been hijacked by a bunch of paranoid, end times, suicide politicians who have been planning their takeover for years! \n\nhttp://www.thefourreasons.org/

Of course they're nervous. Bush was their poster boy, and now he's going to cost the republican the election in 2006, and 2008. They have no way to defend him, so they have to resort to name calling and other behavior that demonstrates their childish mentality.

Well put from the conservative view.  Where were people like you all this time.  Bush has not only gone on this failed mission, he has almost voided the Constitution, the Bill of Rights,  he pandered to the Christian Right, he alienated most of the rest of the world, he has alienated anyone inside the country who did not agree with him by suggesting the were on the sides of the terrorists, he has  been the most divisive President I  have ever seen.  By doing all these things, he has given conservatism a bad name, and caused far too many to be more than suspicious of Republicans.  He has not only cost you all this,  he has cost  the country  far more.  It is time to abandon this "your either with us,  or your against us" mantra and go back to this country's strength - we are strong because of the variety of opinion and creative energy of all of us, not just the select few.  It is time to include, not exclude, as we face issues coming our way that will require the very best of all of us.

No, No and No.  Right now, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and James Dobson are crowing in delight over the rift  the right has caused. They practically come out and say Bush's election was their victory.\n  Bush was advised very carefully on this sticky wicket and, again, as with gay marriage and immigration pulled off a diversionary tactic to divide us and take attention off the greater issues.  God guides him, so he says. We know he uses God.  And the sooner the Christian Right wakes up, the better

False.  Conservatives were successful in making "liberal" a dirty word.  Liberals did not fight back and let them get away with it.  Bush though has awakened a sleeping giant and liberals are starting to fight back.

Ho ho ho!  great question!  \n\nThe conservatives are backwards, they cry when they drop the ball, then they cry for help when they want a pass.

I don't hate you, but I am not a conservative either.  And I think the hate is not coming from conservatives either, but from these "neocons" that have taken control of the "old" republican party.
