What is happening to Free Republic Mr. Robinson? The Bush Haters and Republican Haters are getting louder and more daring by the hour. These phony conservatives who claim the Conservatism purity are savagely attacking President Bush and the GOP as bad as the worst liberals.
The Bash Bush feast is becoming a part of every thread. Everywhere you see Bush is a traitor, Bush wants to sell our sovereignty to Mexico, Bush is a liberal, Bush has no spine, Bush is destroying our economy, Bush is puppet in Vincent Fox hand, Bush is this Bush is that, everything wrong in this world is Bush fault.
Nothing but doom and gloom is coming from these phony conservatives. For them our economy is destroyed, liberals are controlling the government, the GOP will be finished by 2006, Mexico has invaded the US and changed its identity, China is superior to us, we are no more a superpower, and on and on and on. Every minor bump in the road is turned into a Mount Everest of catastrophe and disaster
Either Free Republic will remain the Premier political forum on the internet, a site to advance the real conservative cause and provide great and continuous support to our President Bush and the Republican Party, or it will be forum controlled by bitter and delusional phony conservatives who can never win on the ballot box, and come to FR to poison the atmosphere through their extreme kooky rhetoric and turn it into another Dummyland.
Enough is Enough.
America First Mexican President re-elected by 62 million Americans, the largest number of votes ever!
Get off the rhetoric man.
This isn't just my opinion

Thank You, Arlen
We reelected the worst Republican Senator, and still lost Pennsylvania.

"Bush is a man. He is not conservatism. He ain't perfect. I voted for the guy but his immigration policy should raise anyone's eyebrows."
Agreed 100%. I'm not a phony conservative and I think his immigration policy is atrocious, especially when Republicans have the majority in Congress and are actually able to do something about it.
You should run for an office man, you are too smart for us her on FR.
Extreme sarcasm.
When our sitting Republican President calls Minute Man Project participants(a citizens' neighborhood watch along our border) vigilantes, it is time to take pause!
When our sitting Republican President refuses to play hardball with the democrats for fear of being disliked by them, it is time to pause!
ROTFLMAO! I love that flick.
Hillary Clinton is not tougher on the border issue and if you believed her lies on this issue, then you have a big problem.
Did you know that the Democrats are now willing to negotiate on the filibuster, and Joe Biden is suggesting to send 7 out of 10 President Bush judicial nominees that have been filibustered before for a vote on the floor. Do you know why are they doing this? because they are terrified of the nuclear option that is much more realistic now than ever and that the Republican are going to use and have the vote for it to pass.
FIRST OFF- I never call the President "Shrub"
SECOND- DON'T you tell me what I am or am not!!!
I've been on FR longer than you have, I am a Conservative, I am not a Republican. I am a Constitutionalist.
I first heard the word shrub as a kid when planting one in the yard with my Father.
Then on the FR NASCAR Threads last year in reference to Kyle Busch (Kurt Busch's little brother).
Then on PJ-Comix DUmmie Funnies Threads in the ranting of the DUmmies.
Here are some interesting things I've found about you
Besides the fact that you are a real WHACK JOB.
BTW Whats up with pinging the AM about me?
Does my intellect and humor scare you that much?
I think that you need to unwad your panties before you stroke out...
It's time to make another batch.
However, it can be done, with due diligence. I have little time at the moment to research, but I either heard him OR Scott McClellan (memory confused on which) say he would have opposed civil unions in Texas, but he felt each state should be allowed to decide for itself. You can dislike the states rights position he took, but it is untrue that he endorsed civil unions.
I quickly found a leftist hate-Bush website when I googled...don't agree with their characterizations of Bush at all, but their basic quotes and historical facts jive with what I know about Bush and civil unions.
"In an Oct. 24 interview with ABC correspondent Charlie Gibson, Bush claimed he disagreed with the Republican Party platform opposing civil unions of same-sex couples {{{and that the issue should be left up to the states}}}. "I don't think we should deny people rights to a civil union, a legal arrangement, {{{if that's what a state chooses to do}}}," Bush told Gibson during the interview. Gibson then noted that the Republican Party platform opposed civil unions, to which Bush replied, "Well, I don't." Gibson then asked, "So the Republican Party platform on that point, as far as you're concerned, is wrong?" "Right," Bush said.
However, Bush opposes same-sex marriage, continues to support a constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and {{{despite these latest remarks, White House officials have said that Bush would not have endorsed civil unions as the governor of Texas}}}.
In Oct. 2003, Bush issued a proclamation endorsing Marriage Protection Week, a week of anti-gay family events sponsored by more than two dozen right-wing religious organizations, which called on elected officials to sign a pledge not only opposing marriage equality for same-sex couples, but also opposing civil unions and domestic partner benefits."
These leftists are convinced that Bush is not in favor of civil unions, (and so am I). That makes the leftists very mad, and they are trying to say that Bush merely pretended to be for them in the interview with Charlie Gibson.
No. In the interview, Bush makes it clear it is a states rights issue. He has taken the position that he is not for it in Texas, or anywhere for that matter, but does not believe it should be federally outlawed. You can easily argue that you think it should be federally outlawed. But if you did not, that would not make you an endorser of civil unions. Neither is Bush an endorser of civil unions.
But oh how easy it is to take particular words from their total context of all his words and actions in this area.
When the Old Media report to the sheeple that Hillary is a centrist with fiscal conservative views and modern social values, we will all be in trouble if not addressed at the highest levels within the republican party!
Hell, I don't even know who the RNC Chairman is? Do you?
RINO's seem to attract him, don't they?
Hugging a scumbag is more than I ever want to see the President do. Then Spector sticks a knife in his back during the Judiciary debates.
No thank you, he's not what I had hoped for.
I have the audacity to call myself a FReeper and I agree with much of what meandog asserted. This is FreeRepublic.com, if I'm not mistaken, not the GeorgeBushCheerleadingSquad.com.
I not only voted for the President, I campaigned for him. I was a precinct chair in a very hostile bastion of liberalism. That doesn't mean I'm going to goosestep. I'm not a GOP voter as much as I am a pro-life voter, which means that 99 times out of 100 I'll be voting GOP. As a pro-life voter, I am completely unimpressed with the President's second term.
Ken Mehlman , Republican National Committee Chairman
Ken Mehlman has served as Chairman of the Republican National Committee since January 2005 and when he was elected presented four goals for his term as Chairman: Enact and articulate our reform agenda; Deepen and broaden the GOP so we’re growing our party; Work to elect the best candidates in 2005, 2006 and 2008; and, Institutionalize the grassroots focus.
Ken Mellman, Bush-Cheney '04 campaign manager...
I guess others have a weeks worth of material out of this thread.... lol
I rest my case.
Imagine the US as a military base. On a military base you enter through the gates where ID inspection for every person is mandatory. The Commander of a military base, during wartime orders that anyone attempting to sneak onto the base be captured or shot. No other options are available to the entrant.
You say he wants to "do something about it, by documenting these people". Are we not in fear of terrorists right now? Don't think we are? Then ask yourself why TSA is shoved at all commercial airline passengers right now. Ask yourself why the Patriot Act is shoved at all persons coming through the Ports of Entry onto US soil and those wishing to step foot on US soil from every ship at every harbor up and down our coastlines.
Those are the people who are being "documented". The illegals who sneak across the borders are UNDOCUMENTED ILLEGAL ALIENS.
The President also carries the title of Commander in Chief of all the armed forces under the widely-hailed Section 18 of Article VII. He may call out the armed forces when it becomes necessary to prevent or suppress lawless violence, invasion or rebellion.
Every base commander in the US military forces today would be court martialed and dismissed if they permitted what our President is allowing to happen on our borders.
Now if you think this is just hogwash, try to sneak onto any military base in the US and see what happens to you. You will have more MP's than you want pointing their weapons at you with the SAFETY OFF and their FINGERS ON THE TRIGGER waiting for you to show any attempt at outwitting them. No they are not permitted to fire warning shots.
Come on, try to sneak onto any military base in the US and attempt to outfox the MP's. I'll post your funeral info for you.
As a CiC, the President sucks when it comes to defending America.
