You are better off not arguing with old Texas Dawg. He's logic intolerant in a way that is, well, sort of sad. I wasted a fair bit of unrecoverable lifetime before somebody alerted me to the issue. It must be a right of passage for FR newbies.

Buchanan is right here. The war is the only issue that prevents Bush from facing a primary opponent. On his watch we lost the 1st amendment to the constitution(he signed the bill), the door is open to legalizing gay marriage, he abandoned Estrada and the other clearly conservative court appointees for the bench. He signed the largest entitlement ever into law (prescription drug benefit).

He's about to grant amnesty to 8 million illegal aliens, and has done zero to end the H1B and L1 visa programs.

Meanwhile, manufacturing is out the door, primarily because the government won't back off of all the regulatory costs and legal mandates required of manufacturers in the US, yet says nothing when the jobs go to nations where none of those mandates are in place.

He is a ghastly conservative. He said he wouldn't sign campaign finance reform and did it anyway, which would have been normally enough for most conservatives to be infuriated, but then there's the war.

If the democrats had a credible guy on their side, a Sam Nunn hawk with decent fiscal sense, Bush would have a problem.

I feel, literally, as if I have a gun to my head this year. If I vote for someone other than Bush, I'm putting my family in jeopardy. We are going to have to wait four more years and see what we end up with.

You can't look at the last four years as a liberal and be all that unhappy. Look at how much of their agenda has been accomplished. So what that it wasn't Clinton claiming it as part of a legacy.

Save yourself some lifetime on this one.

"The war is the only issue that prevents Bush from facing a primary opponent. "

And the admin and the RNC shamelessly used Saddams's capture and Xmas to effectively BURY the announcement of amnesty.

And FOX and The Wall St Journal have buried the issue. The Rat media buried it because they FAVOR it.

The Wall St Journal printed a position editorial advocating ANY amnesty plan Bush chooses, on XMAS eve- to bury it.

Actually, the Democrats _do_ have such a guy, who might be considerably more conservative than G.W. Bush. Unfortunately, he's not running. I could even consider voting for him (and I have sworn NEVER to vote for a Democrat again).

His name is Zell Miller.

Cheers!

Great post!

There's a whole lot of real conservatives who will vote for Bush simply because he is the lesser of two evils.

Amid out of control pork barrel spending, gay marriages, and runaway illegal immigration (soon to be rewarded by a Bush-sponsored amnesty program) we will hold our collective noses and go to the polls to cast our votes for someone who is a politician first and a conservative second.

One need only peruse DU for a few minutes to see that your statement has no basis in reality.
It is too easy to refute the right fringe pseudo-cons.
