What do the Bush supporters say?

Bush to Israel: Nothing

George W. Bush is apparently open to scaling back his usual summer
vacation in Crawford, Texas, in order to look more engaged with his
job, but it seems that he'll take this whole hands-on presidency idea
only so far. On a day on which Israeli airplanes hit the home and
office of Hezbollah's leader, White House press secretary Tony Snow
revealed that the president hasn't actually, you know, talked to
anyone in the Israeli government about its widening military campaign
in Lebanon.

Asked whether Bush has any plans to speak to Israeli officials, Snow
said: "At this point -- look, I think -- the Israeli leaders have
been consulted, and they've been consulted by the secretary of state
and the national security advisor. And they'll continue their
conversations, and there is no -- I don’t want to say there's no
need, I'd just say the president has not expressed any plans to speak
with the prime minister, but should it become necessary, he will."
And with that, a member of the White House press corps asked Snow
about the president's plans for a bike ride this afternoon.

Of course, this isn't the usual case of Bushian inattention. We
assume that the president wasn't hoping for an attack on the United
States when he brushed off a warning about Osama bin Laden in August
2001. And we'll presume that he wasn't looking forward to a disaster
in New Orleans when he fiddled away the early days of Hurricane
Katrina. But Bush hasn't picked up the phone to call Ehud Olmert
precisely because he has nothing to tell him -- or, at least, nothing
he wants to be seen telling him. Bush approves of what Israel is
doing in Lebanon, but the White House must know that Americans find
new violence in the Middle East deeply unsettling. The best way to
walk that line: Stay away from it entirely.

You're expecting to find Bush supporters in here? :o

I think the red-state conservatives are more upset about gas prices right now, to tell you the truth. Well that, and they hope Israel has better luck fighting Hezbollah mano-a-mano than we have had trying to eliminate it from D.C.

There are 4 or 5 that I know of. Some have finally admitted Bush sucks but are still supporters of the GOP in general.

I support Republicans---that AREN'T neo-conservatives (that's hard to fathom, but there's a small handful out there).

Traditional conservatism and moderate progressives get my vote.

On paper the Republican party stands for good stuff. Small government, fiscally conservative... I'd support a Republican over a Democrat if they had a good message. Sadly, both parties right now suck. I supported Katz as many did because he was a better choice. Or at least he sounded like one. I'm fine with people who support "traditional" GOP values... it's dittoheads who follow the leader no matter what because of what team they are on that are hurting America. I suppose a big part of the problem is that switching sides is just not attractive right now. Democrats give no incentive other than they are not the Republicans.
