And why haven't you quoted with pride the
WSJ op-eds today?
For those of you claiming fidelity to the articles of conservatism, but holding one's nose and voting for Bush, The Conservative Establishment has a message for you: Stay Home!

The lesson of British history is that a second Bush term could be more damaging to the Republicans and more beneficial to the Democrats than a Bush defeat. If he secures re-election, President Bush can be relied upon to press on with a foreign policy based on pre-emptive military force, to ignore the impending fiscal crisis (on the Cheney principle that "deficits don't matter") and to pursue socially conservative objectives like the constitutional ban on gay marriage. Anyone who thinks this combination will serve to maintain Republican unity is dreaming; it will do the opposite. Meanwhile, the Dems will have another four years to figure out what the Labour Party finally figured out: It's the candidate, stupid. And when the 2008 Republican candidate goes head-to-head with the American Tony Blair, he will get wiped out.

You know that times are getting tough when the WSJ adopts a "burn the village to save it" philosophy.
