CONSERVATIVES BASH BUSH

From the New York Times via AOL News:

But in recent days, there has been an uptick in criticism of Mr. Bush from those quarters, underscoring strains between him and the Republican base that has so faithfully defended him in the past.

For example, Peggy Noonan, the Reagan speechwriter, had this to say on Sunday in opinionjournal.com about Mr. Bush's "Meet the Press" interview: "The president seemed tired, unsure and often bumbling. His answers were repetitive, and when he tried to clarify them he tended to make them worse."

George Will, the conservative columnist, wrote in his syndicated column on Sunday, "It is surreal for a Republican president to submit a budget to a Republican-controlled Congress and have Republican legislators vow to remove the 'waste' that he has included and that they have hitherto funded."

While most conservatives remain squarely behind Mr. Bush, the united front has not been quite as united.


Conservatives may hate liberals for being weak pansies, but they hate weak, pansified conservatives even more--increasingly, Bush is looking like he's losing his once invincible strength in the political realm. It sounds like the sharks are smelling blood in the water. Click here to see a feeding frenzy preview.
