Why didn't you do that in 1999, when a true conservative *was* running?
In fact, he beat G.W. Bush Jr in some of the early primaries.

Bush's failings are in no way as bad as having a Democrat in
office.

That depends on your point of view.

If you genuinely feel that the U.S. better off with
1- a shakier economy
2- higher national debt
3- a large number of countries that hate us
4- greater terrorist threat (see #3 above)
5- an over-stretched military
6- Middle East gov'ts that openly support anti-US terrorism within reach
of developing nuclear weapons (see #3 & #4 above)
7- porous borders that allow almost anybody thru, including a large
influx of sub-minimum wage workers to support top-heavy corporations
8- an economic elite who earn 1,000X what a productive worker earns
8a- who are able to divert tremendous amounts of wealth into their
own pockets
8b- and are immune to prosecution
8c- chosen for their support of certain political sub-groups rather
than any merit
9- Federally mandated institutions which favor a given political party,
inculding tax-payer funded partisan propaganda
10- gutted education
11- an expanded Federal gov't which sucks up tremendous amounts of the
national wealth, yet can produce scanty positive results for citizens.
12- diminished rights for citizens

Then yeah, we're better off with anybody but a Democrat.

... If for no other reason than the President has gotten
the Supreme Court back on the right track he can be considered
a success.


Like what?

Actually, Scout is overlooking President Bush's tremendous success at
seizing control of the gov't apparatus & the national media. They have
produced few results that benefit the country as a whole, but they have
hammered opposition and funneled tremendous amounts of money (we're
talking tens of billions) into the "right" pockets, where it will
finance whacko fascist partisan campaigns for the forseeable future.
They have been a BIG success at the things *they* wanted to accomplish!
