PRESTOPUNDIT -- "It's a team sport, baby!"

Reagan Republicans to Bush - We May Just Sit This One Out. "The Bush administration may be moving leftward in the belief that Reagan conservatives have no place else to go. If so, it is a colossal mistake. Reagan conservatives do have someplace to go: it's called home. They can sit on their hands and not vote at all .. ". more LYN NOFZIGER. And Nofziger has this reminder for the White House: "When the president's father took conservatives for granted, he lost."

If President Bush loses, it will be because small-government Reaganites like me sat on our hands and refused to pull the lever for an "I'll buy every vote I can" Republican. If this is the kind of President we wanted, in 1980 we'd have voted for the President who supported LBJ in 1964, rather than the Republican.

And don't be mistaken. President Bush continues to grab money that doesn't belong to him in order to buy his own re-election -- he's certainly doing this in the case of home buying. He's taking the money my wife and I planned for and worked our butts off for -- and desperately need to pay our morgage -- and he's taking our money and he's using it to buy votes for himself -- and a house for someone else -- someone who didn't work for that money and has no right to that money. It's a crime -- and like many crimes, one perpetrated by the state and sanctioned by law.

This is just one of many ways in which things from a Reagan Republican perspective have taken steps for the worse rather than the better after four years of Bush of the Presidency. Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
