American Conservative Won't Endorse Bush

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but an article entitled "Kerry's the One" appeared in the online version of the November 8 issue of the American Conservative. It says that this election is not about John Kerry, it's an election about the presidency of George W. Bush.

Diaries :: Drog's diary ::

Bush has behaved like a caricature of what a right-wing president is supposed to be, and his continuation in office will discredit any sort of conservatism for generations.
...
George W. Bush has come to embody a politics that is antithetical to almost any kind of thoughtful conservatism. His international policies have been based on the hopelessly naïve belief that foreign peoples are eager to be liberated by American armies--a notion more grounded in Leon Trotsky's concept of global revolution than any sort of conservative statecraft. His immigration policies--temporarily put on hold while he runs for re-election--are just as extreme. A re-elected President Bush would be committed to bringing in millions of low-wage immigrants to do jobs Americans "won't do." This election is all about George W. Bush, and those issues are enough to render him unworthy of any conservative support.

If Bush ever heard that, he would wither like man thrown in a pool of ice water.

5. Scathing attack on Bush

Basically, they said it is imperative that the Conservative movement get Bush out of office because 4 more years of Bush will so derail the conservative movement that it may be generations before a conservative gets to be president again... meanwhile, they also say, that Bush has f-ed things up so badly that Kerry will spend his entire 4 years digging out of Bush's hole and will be a ripe target in 2008.
