The country will eventually turn right because, "whatever its failings, the right at least knows that America's enemies need to be fought." If that logic were true Bush would have his 65% approval rating. He is going all-out to fight everyone he can and then some. Is there a stronger, more conservative, more combative candidate out there who could make Bush look weak? Why isn't he running? Why did Bush only get 51% of the vote and squeak by in the electoral college, because he wasn't tough enough? Or because he had alienated just under half of the swing voters in the country with his post-9/11 policies? I really don't think the right wants to admit what is going on in terms of the political cycle in the US. They may exit stage-right for another period in the wilderness soon. Positing that eventually the electorate must return to precisely what it rejected is circular logic. If Bush had run on a "fight our enemies everywhere" platform in 2000 he probably would never have been elected in the first place.
