1. They blindly support Bush at the expense of their own flesh and blood.
Truly pathetic... I pity them. :(

2. Yes they would.
And they'd label her everything in the book. Cindy and the peace moms are good enough, especially the republican mother at the Vigil who sent over 600 letters to Laura Bush. They're not going away.

Anyone against them is a liberal, not just someone from either party.

3. They attacked the Jersey Girls, Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neill, Joe Wilson
and others. If you disagree with the emperor, you are fodder for their slime machine.

5. don't forget, John McCain was trashed, too
and, he's almost as conservative as Bush, just doesn't always toe the religious right line.

7. I thought she was.
I thought I read somewhere that Cindy was a Republican voter, up until recently. Or was that a made up story?

8. You betcha.
Take McCain in the 2000 primaries for example.

If you aren't the right *flavor* of republican (lower
case used on purpose here) they'll smear you as hard
or harder.

They *HATE* RINOS.

11. Of course they would only blind faith and blaming Clinton is allowed
Remember part of the republican control is group think.

12. They would claim she was not really a conservative.
She wouldn't be "pure" enough for their liking.
