Reply #7: Since there are only 2 constants in *'s support base--blind faith in

Dubya's wildly shifting and contradictory foreign policy pronouncements, and often-camouflaged advocacy for policies that benefit the very wealthy at the expense of the poor and middle class--Paul Craig Roberts won't be the last Rethug to part company with the White House.

Real conservatives are steadfast in their beliefs. They must have a VERY hard time forgetting about all the life-or-death concerns Dubya has loudly announced to the world and then suddenly abandoned--

--Osama WHO?

--WMDs

--Potential threats to US national security

Notice that Paul Craig Roberts didn't leave Dubya's "train" on his own initiative--he was pushed off. He says,

"Like Brownshirts, the new conservatives take personally any criticism of their leader and his policies. To be a critic is to be an enemy. I went overnight from being an object of conservative adulation to one of derision when I wrote that the US invasion of Iraq was a 'strategic blunder.'"

We can expect many others to jump off, fall off, or get pushed off, just like Roberts.
