That sounds like a non-sequitur.

IMO, the people are refusing because they DON’T want the wall. I DO want the wall - what am I supposed to be telling them?

Those people are the loud minority. The same bunch who stunk up this bored for Cut&Run Paul for the past few mos.

They are the Walk on Water conservatives who are outraged that the Bush family is in politics. They have their hatred to cling to and little else. Course, if you need a lecture on conservativism like Pukeannan professes they are ready to oblige.

Every Party has its Poopers and that is why we have these turds.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Who's interested in approval? I'm interested in being right.

His statements on Freedom, support for soldiers, the value of Human Life, justices dedicated to the Constitution, tax cuts, vetos of pork spending all suggested to me rather strongly that he is a conservative.

I'm for supporting our soldiers (i.e. increasing funding to vets and such as he proposed doing). I'm for the value of human life (notice I didn't speak negatively about that part of his speech). I'm also for strict Constitutionalist judges (in one of my posts in this thread I actually applaud that as one of the actual good things Bush has done).

But I recognize as phony any talk of tax cuts and cutting of pork barrel when they are coupled with spending hikes which are in essence a built-in future tax hike to be paid for later on when he's no longer in office. THAT and his own abysmal record on bloated spending (see his boondoggle spending increases in the Medicare entitlement and in the Dept. of Education) are what make me call him a phony conservative and a liar. It's double talk to talk about cutting spending while proposing spending hikes at the same time.

I'm not a FAUX conservative. I'm an ACTUAL one. I don't give passes to big government politicians no matter who they are.

That DEFINITELY DOES NOT make
for one! Read the darn thread.

So, America’s destroyed, huh? Our
country is destroyed? I’d hate to be
your family or your neighbor if there’s
another attack, God forbid.

I understand where you are coming from. I have kids and grandkids, too, and don’t know what to tell them.

In my 70+ years, I can't remember a time when the 'divide' has been more evident between the good and the bad.

I keep thinking of the Bible verse about when the wheat and the chaff will be separated -

G*d bless you, and may you live for 70+ more years. I haven't seen as much as you have, but I can't remember a more glaring 'divide,' either.

The rebuttal to the State of the Union Address is generally along these same lines. I’m not sure why she was sellected, but ABC did make some comments about it. They gave some sort of reason that I ignored.

“I don’t give passes to big government politicians no matter who they are.”

_______________________________________________________

Amen. There are some things for which I am truly greatful to Bush, but his rhetoric tonight was often “spend this”, “provide that”, “increase funding here”, and “thank goodness for NCLB...we need more”. All of this is code for expanding the scope, size, and cost of the Federal government. This may be his business (and the business of many Republicans), but it is not the business of any Conservative.

I just think this night is naturally painful for them. Believe me, it was painful when Clinton was delivering the SOTU address. I watched intently when he did it though.

Get outta the way.
You think it’s an
uncomplicated issue
or there’s an easy
solution that pleases
everybody?

No, but it’s going on.

Bug your congresscritter.
