Gellispie was NOT quoted as saying what you assert, and I suspect you are aware of that.

No perfect government will exist. With this in mind I will back GW Bush to the hilt over the likes of any others I have seen over the past 53 years of my life,

George has brought us through some very dangerous paths, and done it well. I for one would rather lobby a government like the one we have currently for reforms, than any other on the horizon.

Even I STRONGLY DISAPPROVE the drunken sailor like spendings by the Bush Admin., the alternative will be far worse. The other side will give us Tax Hikes, Big Spendings and intolerable social policies. There is no way on earth I will go for any alternatives. Like it or not, this country is run by two parties. Either you are for one or another, any third party stuff is just nonsense. Ask the dems on DarthNader! Beware of all these msgs claiming to be Republicans for third party stuff, we just don't know who they are, heck, I know some of my very Republican friends donate money to Dean on the web just to stoke the ego of that Nut (and watch him prematurely imploded in Iowa).

Voting third party can have disastrous consequences. We should have learned from 92. You might be comfortable taking the risk of voting 3rd party or not at all, but Im certainly not.

I agree with some of your objections to Bush's policies, but the answer is not to give the election to the Democrats. The answer is to change the GOP from within. You plan is born of pain and if followed through with creates more pain and eight years of a Democratic President. We survived Clinton, but let's not repeat anytime soon.

George Bush is the JFK of his time and the Republican Party has morphed into Democratic Party. At this point, I'm considering to vote a Democrat(leftist) in as President. This will at least cause less cooperation between Congress and the President.

If it is spelled R-e-p-u-b-l-i-c-a-n, but acts Democrat. Then indeed it is Democrat. I'm ready to join the Bull-Moose Party someone revive TR.

Those of you who have played the game Risk know that before setting out to take over the world, you must stake out your own little territory (South America and Australia are pretty ideal) and then proceed to eliminate your strongest opponent (usually the one player in the game who is very experienced). Once he's gone, it's pretty simple to mop up the less experienced opponents. Bush has done exactly that. He has staked out his little territory (tax cuts and an aggresive war on terrorism), and now he is proceeding to eliminate the democratic socialists from significance. Once they are effectively gone, he (or his successor) can proceed to take over other issues. But it is imperative that the kooks must be eliminated first.

Oh,YEAH,

How right you are! Bush isn't perfect so lets vote in a liberal dem who will be 1000 times worse.Lets become a total socialist nation.Brilliant idea!

If you think it doesn't matter if a Demon...ah...Democrat gets in as president i feel sorry for you.I suspect you are from "democratic underground" or your one of the loons at "move on".
At any rate i dont always agree with Bush but i will support him 1000% over the DemonCats.
(and really Bush has dome a LOT that is great)

So, in essence, what you're saying is you want a democrat elected so i can get a tax increase. Not buying this....sorry.

Best regards,

Manny you are going to get a LOT of criticism for this because you are not being one of Karl Rove's good little pod people and saying "Thank You, May I Have Another?" as big spending and amnesty for illegals is being shoved down your throat.

You get an A for courage of conviction. I am sick and tired of NeoCons like Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, and the ususal suspects smirking at us and saying, "where else will you go?" Absent a candidate who will protect our borders, *I* will be absent from the polls this November.

Here in Southern California we have a primary opponent to face David Drier, a Bush sycophant and amnesty supporter. It's a start. Until these RINOs pay a price with some defeats -- or an electoral scare, they will NOT listen to us.

Thanks for your post.

Terrible idea to give illegals "guest worker" status?
Yes.
Terrible idea to add a Medicare drug benefit?
Yes.
Out of control domestic spending?
Yes.

However....How many of you Republicans against Bush think that you would have gotten a tax cut under President Gore?
How many of you Repubs against Bush think the partial birth abortion ban would have happened under Gore?
And now you wish Kerry or some other socialist defeats Bush?
Madness!

6. This could cost us seats and/or control of the House or Senate. If enough people turn out to register this protest vote, we could increase our majority.

You wanna bet??

I'll bet it would sink your party for good

91% of Republicans are "with" President Bush.

Bush enjoys the highest approval rating at this point in his term since Dwight Eisenhower's in 1956.

Incidentally, I am one of the 91%.

If President Bush loses due to our efforts, it is our hope that our party leadership will enact a platform more in line with our traditional Republican principles

That is if we survive a leftist peacenik in the White House for 4 to 8 years, John F'ing Kerry likely to be the Demonrat annointed.

While I agree with you and people like you on many issues, you lose my support in your attitude towards the war on terrorism. President Bush is advocating that we fight the terrorists and keep fighting them as hard as we can until they are brought to justice. While I don't like everything that he does in pursuing this end, I think he has the right idea. The "conservatives" who believe that we can survive in a world with Muslim terrorists by trying to appease them are as deluded as the liberals. There will be no peace with Muslim jihadists. There will be no security until we either destroy them completely or force them to surrender. As long as one goal of your actions is to criticize the war against these thugs, you will not have my support.

You will not achieve your goals by opposing Bush. Your ends are desirable, your means are impractical. You must be more realistic about the way the American political process works. Identify the pressures that contribute to increase spending, and address them directly. Did you realize that lobbies that urge higher spending vastly outnumber the lobbies that propose reductions in spending? Why not do something about that.
