Disaffected Republicans?

Kevin Phillips hammers the Bush family in his new book. I run into the occasional conservative who is upset by the Bush presidency citing fiscal irresponsibility, protectionism, or war mongering. His numbers are still holding up but Is there any kind of a groundswell of discontent in the party?

We once had another unethical president. Newspaper articles like this one would appear regularly. And yet 49 states voted for that president in a landslide. Maybe in part because we were in a war just like today. No matter the war was directly traceable to that president and a government that repeatedly denied the facts - even from their own people in the field. The point is that Nixon was that corrupt. Newspaper articles like this one appeared regularly and yet still many denied the president could be a crook. History can repeat itself. Nixon tried same thing using CIA, IRS, "Enemies List", etc:
