I dunno, I actually know a lot of republicans who are AGAINST him, which is odd.
I've also heard from others (by having political convo w/ friends) that even the republicans that THEY know dislike Bush. Not ALL of them, but enough to make you wonder if he really has a solid republican base.
I mean, I'm sure most republicans are with him and maybe the same percentage of republicans has also been against a republican president in the past, but I'm hearing about it a lot more often these days.
The actual reasons most of them give is the same: he's very deceptive and is focusing on the wrong issues thus making the republican party look bad.
