" Four more years of religious-right social policy and Nixonian fiscal policy is not something I really want to support. "

...

"Part of the Aznar lesson is that people don't like being bamboozled. If Bush doesn't learn that soon, he may learn it the hard way in November."

...

"What on earth was going on here? I thought conservatives were supposed to be responsible for conserving the country's fiscal health and honest about the costs of entitlements. I smell Rove here. He wanted a political victory. He has no principles. He doesn't give a damn about the country's fiscal health. So he lied and put pressure on others to lie. Every single one of us will be paying higher taxes for years because of this. "

1. Andy, do you want some ketchup with that plate of crow?

after that I've got your hat on the broiler...

2. The only reason Sullivan is supporting Bush...

...is because he think Bush is better than the Democrats on terrorism.

He is disillusioned. The so called war on terrorism has been a failure. Andrew will see the light someday.

3. who is this guy again?

And why should I take his opinion, whether or not I agree with it, with anything more than a grain of salt?

5. Andrew, love him or hate him, is one of the most influential bloggers

http://www.blogstreet.com/top100.html - He's #5.

He practically come 180 degrees in the past 2 years.

And he's a Conservative gay, not that there's anything wrong wit that...

11. I think you are taking political correctness too far! There is everything

wrong with being a Conservative! ;-)

15. To paraphrase DNC head Terry McCauliff from last night...

If fiscal responsibility, paying down the debt, not mucking with the Constitution for political gain, respecting person privacy, reducing the size of government are "Conservative" ideas, then Clinton/Gore were the greatest Conservatives ever!

:evilgrin:

19. Great quote! nt

6. Yikes...maybe this would describe him...

A thick necked, religiously guilt ridden, internet sex trolling, Provincetown cruising leather-fop, who has the ability to live in a alternate world. A world that is inhabited by him, as THE republican house boy homo/writer propagandist, whose mission is to keep his precariously balanced world from tipping over, and to be the Schindler for us gay guys when he hears his master's voice.

8. come on, don't hold back...tell us how you REALLY feel....

4. I think

Sullivan has seen the light now that Bush has gone over to the consitutional ammendment side. I think this affects him personally and that is how he has always reacted and how he has always wrote

[Neshanic]

7. The only light he sees is the flashlights in the dunes.

9. not sure

what you mean there.

10. Sullivan can't join our reindeer games!

He chose his side of the playground, and now he's whining?

Too fucking bad!

[Cat Atomic]

12. Typical self-centered Republican asshole.

Now that Bush's attacks are infringing on his rights, he sees problems.

14. Amen to that!

But what's important is that they finally have seen the light! (Howard Stern, etc)

13. Are there any Liberal Bloggers with this much influence???

:puke:

Sully's just mad that Bush wants to make him a second class
citizen. He's still a Rethug.

:argh:

16. Eric Alterman. Also, Josh Marshall. IMO

18. So, the big question is, has Andrew "come out" of the shrub closet

and advocated voting him out? Or is this just petulant whining? If he's not going to advocate voting Dem this year what's the use of these complaints?
