Consider what it took for the Bush Loyalists to start to question him

[ComerPerro]

Massive failures, incompetence, and coverups surrounding 9/11?
No.

A consistently declining economy?
No.

A piece of legislation, ironically called the "Patriot Act", which seems have been drafted to give the big government unlimited power and strip away at individual rights?
No.

Starting a war based on lies and forged documents?
No.

Having no exit strategy of any kind in this war?
No.

Failure to make any kind of meaningful progress in Iraq, as well as failure to find any WMD?
No.

Photographic evidence of the torture and humiliation of Iraqi prisoners, that could reach the highest levels of the Pentagon?
No.

Excessive spending which has sent us into soaring deficits year after year after year?
No.

Failure to pass any kind of legislation that he promised in his campaigns, even with majority control of the House and Congress?
No.

His outright laziness, including his record-smashing vacation time?
No.

His general apathy toward US and World Events? (he prides himself on not reading newspapers or paying attention to the news, and during Hurricane Katrina he didn't even seem to give a damn until several days after the devastation. He even fund-raised!)
No.

His track record of rewarding failure? (he gave George Tenant, a man he and other Republicans blamed for 9/11 and the Iraq WMD lies, a medal!)
No.

His associations to criminals and people of questionable ethics? (Enron, anyone?)
No.

His administration's policy of appointing people to positions of power and responsibility based on party loyalty rather than qualifications? (Brownie)
No.

His continued support of Brown, even after it was apparent to everyone but Bush that the guy never should have been even given the opportunity to fuck up that badly?
No.




So just what does it? What does it take to set conservatives off? What would make them question their blind allegiance to Bush?

Apparently, Bush nominating to the Supreme Court someone who they fear may not be fanatic enough for their tastes.

Really makes you think, doesn't it?



These people, these FReepers, are not going to be waking up anytime soon.
