President Bush — Maybe the Base Has Left Him?

The Anchoress has a rather long, but important, post that asks the question: Has George Bush abandoned his conservative base, or is it the other way around? Consider this excerpt:
Ever stop to think maybe the president feels his base has abandoned him, that uncontent with 75%, they’ve simply moved beyond reason? Ever stop to think that while you’re calling the president every despicable name in the book and demanding his fealty or you’ll “teach him a lesson,” that perhaps there is a lesson you need to learn? That a good man, disinterested in merely laughing or crying for the camera for 8 years and looking to do a difficult job in the face of unprecedented hate, unprecedent speed of communication, unprecedented global instability, unprecedented backstabbing from within his own CIA, deserves some loyalty and the benefit of a doubt as he tries to bring you the 75% you so callously spit back at him as insufficient?
We do not know everything we think we know. Nothing is static; everything is in flux, and it is very likely that more is at work here, on many levels, than any of us can dream. There are things seen and unseen. Think about it. [emph mine]
This is a beautiful examination of the President’s accomplishments, and the battles he’s fought, and continues to fight, both with the enemy, the Left, and now with his own conservative base. Especially if you are struggling with the urge to sit out this year’s elections, it’s well worth the time to go and read all of it . . . (db)

Read the rest of The Anchoress post, The Essential President Bush. Its an excellent well-written analysis of Bush and his presidency. She also writes:

Sitting out the upcoming elections is the last thing anyone should do who wants to see conservative judges upholding law as opposed to activist judges making law.
Let the Democrats win the senate back and we get Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi? That’s enough to scare any sane Democrat into voting Republican.
