While I'm a staunch independent, and I believe Ustwo is possibly libertarian-ish?? (sorry if I got that wrong), we and a few others still hanging around here are possibly as close to being conservative on TFP Politics as they get. There are a few Republican "Bush Supporters" as you say ... but most don't care to participate in these kinds of threads. If you are looking for a response from the Bushies on TFP, they are probably few and far between. Regarding your wanting a response defending a third Bush term via McCain, I don't think a true Republican would accept that premise. I can understand such a viewpoint from a democrat or others unhappy with Bush, equally so by those not liking Bill Clinton asserting Gore would be a Clinton third term (like with Hillary now). I think that's a normal or typical kind of assertion by those who are devoted to their ideology.
Things like WMD's and the like have been thrashed about on these forums for a long time. I'm not a "Bush supporter" as you say, but much of your accusations for numerous topics against him or those you see in-league with Bush (even things that aren't about Bush directly) are so wildly biased, it's hard for some of us to see credibility or take your threads seriously. I know that can wear both ways sometimes for myself and others , but it's because we aren't communicating effectively, in a hurry, angry, excited ... what ever. These kinds of threads soon become duels, personal digs, or mostly being more about litigating a position rather than debate or discussion ... who's got the best source, who's got the most time. Steal a line, turn a phrase, score a point.
