For a conservative, Bush has been a huge disappointment. Like father, like son, some would say. Conservatives need to get together and raise the money that it takes to get our points across vis the airwaves. Has anyone seen the ludicrous ads that disparage clean coal? This is but one example. Why don't we have an ad that tells the American people that we have enough oil offshore to equal 37 years of imported oil? Why don't we have ads that tell the American people about our oil shale in the Rockies? Why don't we have ads that tell the American people about bridges to nowhere or teacup museums or, well you get the idea. If the media won't be a watchdog then maybe we have to rethink our strategy and it isn't by compromise, it's by leading with clear-cut solutions and leadership which the conservative movement is sorely lacking.
