Who is the stronger conservative politician:GWB or Bill Frist. Which one shows more backbone dealing with liberals?

Gee I don't know. What does that have to do with your claim Bush hasn't done anything conservative?

"And as you have said, wait until there is one candidate."

I'd LOVE to take credit.. but actually.. the President said it on the Brit Hume interview. We were starting to gripe like others about him answering all his critics. That interview changed our minds.

HOWEVER, We do feel Republicans NEED to be speaking out more to his critics and to critics on the Iraq war. Which they seem to be doing a little bit more here recently!

People and terrorist (who aren't really people) constantly underestimate this President. I say he will surprise his foes. We have never waivered in our support of him. Never. He has never let us down.

Nonsense. Let's tally up a few of the many ways he's let us down, shall we?

- Caved in on school vouchers. Big Stupid Government "education" spending, authored by Fat Drunk Teddy, continues.

- Caved in to special steel interests; signed steel tariff bill. All US citizens pay more, unnecessarily, for steel.

- Caved in to the Welfare Farmers. Big farm subsidies continue.

- Caved in to the 'Rats on "election reform". Signs direct assault on the First Amendment. What a dumbass.

- Demands at least $87 Billion more taxpayer dollars for Iraq. Not a peep about cutting any of the other horsesh&% that Big Stupid Republican Government squanders our money on. No, he just wants to pile another $87 Billion in debt on our backs.

- Sits back, vetoes NOTHING, and ensures the biggest Big Stupid Government budget, and the biggest deficits, in the history of the Universe.

And you want us to support this guy? Not bloody likely. If I wanted this crap, I'd vote for 'Rats, not somebody pretending to be something else.

Wasn't this Daddy Bush's problem? His failure or reluctance to step into the campaign fray? If I remember correctly, George Bush's re-election push was lackluster at best.

No, Bush 41's problem was that he didn't understand the way Clinton worked until it was too late

I have no doubt that Bush 43 has paid a lot of attention to the way the Clinton goon squad works.

This is America.. you are welcome to YOUR opinion. So go vote for a Democrat and see what that will get you.

I'll stick with the BEST President we've had in a LONG time, thank you. BTW, if you're around in another five years and we are fortunate enough to have his leadership and that of his administration, I be sure to PING you to say I TOLD YA SO!!

Considering all he has endured and this nation has endured since he took office, I'd say we have survived it all exceptionally well.

UNbelievable. I can't believe people like you exist! But like I said.. you have a right to be ignorant.. um.. to think like you do!!

A Republican was elected, and the party held the Congress as well. Do you see any of them even talking about reducing the burden of Big Stupid Government?

Hell no! All we hear about is how Big Stupid Republican Government is so much better than Big Stupid DemocRat Government.

I won't be fooled by this crap from cheap politicians seeking more power and more of our money. I won't sell out my principles because "the other ones are worse". Perhaps you will; lots of people seem eager to sell out to a different variety of tyranny.
