and economic conservatives"

What utter and amazing bullshit.

By now, they all have read or heard the "deficits don't matter" quote
from O'Neill. By now, no fiscal conservative will be actually supporting Bush in their hearts. And I suspect that more than a few will go into the voting booth and simply not vote for President.

If you want to hear what the paleocons think of * and Crashcart.
go to cspan.org and check out Kevin Phillips interview on washington journal's archive. Mr. Phillips seethes with anger at the Bush family evil empire, and he does not seem to disagree with the idea of BFEE. This man was Nixon's strategist, get my drift?

Cheney and Bush better not be counting on the old Republican party to save them. I think Kevin and the Paleos have choked on the embarrassing wing of their party for too long. Now they are standing back and letting Rove see if he can win without them. The answer is no, but it would still be no with them. It is just that without them, it won't even be within faking distance.
