Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since the election and in that time not one Republican, elected or not, has offered the public (me) any reason to remain a registered Republican. I will change my voter registration to independent - and will wait to see if someone can earn my conservative loyalty and party affiliation. Until then, I will be fiercly a fiercly independent conseRRvative (conseRRvative = Ronald Reagan conservative). Retired Navy CPO looking for a national leader.

agree, unfortunately

My God, they are the enemies of an open and free society and he needs to respond as such. Bush shares a large part of the blame for the recent GOP election losses.
For the past six years, Bush rushes to calm every Democrat who has a temper tantrum and only in vague terms supports his own party's goals and initiatives. Overall, he has been a poor leader for Republicans and the Republican cause. He has let slip by too many chances to educate the public by defending his party and the people who put him in power.
His biggest offenses to me were nominating Harriet Miers and saying Bill Clinton was like a brother. Speaking of loose-lipped women in the White House, it put a burr under my saddle when Laura Bush said anyone who didn't like Miers was sexist. The Bushes are off my Christmas card list!
