thinkprogress.org — New poll finds that the percentage of Americans "who said the court is 'too conservative' grew from 19 percent to 31 percent in the past two years, while those who said it is 'generally balanced in its decisions' declined from 55 percent to 47 percent."

Then, by extension, the entire GOP is "not conservative" for supporting him as much as they have. Maybe not "conservative" as they used to be, but Bush certainly represents the GOP as they behave and the people who keep supporting him.

Actually, it has little to do with what you are in favor of, but rather how you are in favor of doing it. Attempting to establish everything as a government program interfering with people's personal beliefs is wrong. The first three of your points are state issues. Federal interference with state issues like that is a socialist trend. Gitmo, you don't know my feeling on gitmo, but you have made up your mind so it doesn't matter. Nevertheless, that is a federal matter and is properly dealt with by the federal government. Separation of church and state - doesn't exist in the Constitution. however, the 1st Amendment prohibits interfering with the free exercise of religion (Socialist tend to be opposed to religion). Habeas Corpus -- do you even know what that is? As for preventing the president from abusing his power, that is why there is a separation of powers. The problem I see is the Congress has been making power grabs for sometime now. And not in the interest of the country.

Again the problem would not have addressed overvotes, apparently if you are too stupid to follow the directions in one manner, we'll count your vote, but God forbid you are too stupid to follow the direction in another manner. Oh yeah, I never hear about all of the military ballots that were rejected due to no postmark.

Do you even look at the court's decisions or just the headlines?

Too conservative? I don't know if I'd call them conservative. When I think conservative though, I don't think of the Republican party at this point. They're something else all together at this point. I'd say fascist tyranny is probably a pretty good phrase to describe the current trend.
