I often wonder how Conservatives can support President Bush. After all, he has increased the size of government. After all, he hasn't brought down spending with control of the House and the Senate. After all, the Patriot Act is invasive of privacy (and freedom is privacy). After all, he is promoting unfunded mandates like "No Child left Behind". After all, he is weakening bi-partisan efforts like the Clean Air Act.
Increasingly, it seems, President Bush does have traditional-conservative detractors. In fact, here is an interview that Mother Jones did with Clyde Prestowitz (a veteran of the Reagan administration). He struggles with his last sentence. Clearly breaking with the Republicans is an emotional decision for him.

Thank you Clyde, and thanks to all traditional-conservatives that vote for their principals.
