Keep posting these kind of threads guys! They increase the determination of the Bush supporters on FR, and convince us of the need to work diligently for his re-election.

You just made me pro-choice.

FACT: George W. Bush is not the greatest threat to conservative principles in America today.

FACT: The Democrats ARE the greatest threat to conservative principles in America today.

FACT: George W. Bush's re-election is the ONLY defense against a new onslaught of leftist ideology in the halls of government, in our courts, and in American society.

FACT: I think it's pretty well established that most of the naysayers on FR these days are 1) disruptors from the DNC who pretend to be Republicans who bash Bush; 2) disruptors from DU who pretend to be conservatives who bash Bush; 3) disgruntled Buchanan supporters who still hope that Pat hijacks the conservative movement and carries it back to the 1930s and '40s, and to about 15% of the US electorate; 4) the terminally crumudgeonly; 5) those who are still ticked off that most Freepers didn't support Tom McClintock in the California recall.

FACT: The naysayers spend more time trashing George W. Bush than they do trashing John Kerry, Howard Dean, John Edwards, and all the other Democrats combined (which should tell you something).

FACT: I predicted back in September that the very same people who attempted to destroy the Republicans' chances of replacing Gray Davis would be sharpening their knives to destroy George W. Bush in the new year, and my prediction has proven correct -- you are precisely the same people, making the same tired arguments, but now targeting them at Bush.

FACT: It's fine to disagree with Bush on any one or number of policies, but we've rounded the corner in this election cycle and now is the time for all conservatives to emphasize what they support about Bush's Presidency, rather than tear at each other over one or two single issues.

FACT: The Bush-bashers haven't said anything new in weeks; it's the same old mantra.

FACT: It’s a minority of people on FreeRepublic who incessantly complain about George W. Bush…

FACT: …and the rest of us really don’t give a rat’s patootie what they think.

FACT: Jim Robinson has repeatedly made clear that, yes, this is a conservative discussion site, AND that it supports the re-election of Pres. Bush, supports the war on terror, supports the effort in Iraq, supports the President's judicial nominees, supports (in general) increasing the Republican majorities in Congress, all as the most practical means of correcting largely 60 years of leftist tilt in this nation. And...

FACT: These incessant criticisms of Bush go way beyond honest disagreements on policy, taking on an emotional edge which suggests that those who continue to gnaw on this particular bone suffer from the inability to step back, take a deep breath, and actually contribute something positive to the discussions on FR in particular, and to conservative interests in general.

Frankly, I’m wondering when the Overlords here on FreeRepublic will decide to start deleting these over-the-top posts bashing President Bush. Nothing new has been said by the naysayers in weeks, probably months. “We don’t like Bush’s immigration proposal!” Fine. “Bush spends too much money!” OK, duly noted. “Bush shouldn’t have signed CFR!” Given the Supreme Court’s distressing decision on CFR, Bush himself probably now regrets signing it. All of these points have been made over and over and over again, day after day after day, umpteen times a day. What more needs to be said? We’ve heard it all, and nobody is swayed by the arguments. So what’s the point of constantly repeating these attacks on Bush?

The point clearly seems to be to disrupt discussion on FR. We all know the Bush-bashers’ concerns. We all know that a majority on FR also share these concerns, but have determined to vote for Bush regardless because of the big picture and other issues on which he is conservative.

The Bush-bashing posts long ago lost any topical or meaningful discussion value. Nothing new is ever said on them. They’ve taken on the quality of graffiti on buildings in the inner city – they are an eyesore and they degrade the overall “quality of life” of the “community.” They need to be spray-painted over. Intelligent discussion no longer takes place on the bashing threads. I found a typical comment on a recent Bush-bashing fest, as one intelligent poster made us all aware that “Bush makes me puke!” This observation was then concurred in by yet another poster.

Very seriously, when are the Overlords on FR going to take back control of this forum and rein-in the disrupting posts? If a negative post on Bush is placed on FR which actually broaches new territory, then fine. But the never-ending regurgitation of the same old slop every day, dozens of times of day, has decreased the quality of FreeRepublic. The litter needs to be picked up and disposed of.

Would you tell us who you voted for in 2000 and why? assuming you did vote....

[deport]

From another post of yours........

Email me with comments at MPaulet@aol.com PS- I am a Conservative Libertarian. This article's title and beginning have to do with the pure AND non-existant versions of two systems that many people claim to adhere to or have as a goal. I will try to keep up with posts this time."

So are you Libertarian, Republican, or Reform? If Libertarian as you state in the above what not support your LP rather than the RP.....

PS...... Does any of the following names mean anything to you?

Owen, Kuhl, Brown, Pickering, Pryor, Allen..

Ya know, the choices are not really good.
You can have more spending, and more government.
OR you can have Tax Hikes, even more spending and even more government.

Where are you gonna go? And waste any electrons writing about "third parties." They are not players.

'Course if the immigration bill makes it though Congress and the Ugly Gun Ban is renewed, I ain't tappin' the screen for George W. Bush. I just won't vote for a President, period.

The title of your thread needs to be changed because it is MISLEADING at best and actually DISHONEST. This is not the "Personal Creation" of a REPUBLICAN. It's the rant of a self-proclaimed* Libertarian Randite who wants others to join in his efforts to cause President Bush to LOSE the 2004 election.

If you are in fact a Republican, you are what I refer to as "Nose Less" Republicans. You will cut off your nose to spite your face. You are incapable of thinking beyond "stage-one" (Thomas Sowell "Applied Economics" Thinking Beyond Stage One) George Bush is President to all Americans, not just those of us that espouse a conservative view. No President can totally please his base, not even Clinton. To be reelected in todays enviroment, you have to court the so called independents. Flash...the so called Reform Party does not appeal to independents. Dick Morris says Hillary will accept the VP from Kerry, we have a fight on our hands and united we must stand squarely behind this President. It is that, or sharpen the knives and cut off our noses.

Name one conservative that is not a prepared to be a centrist that could win the nomination in 2008? Name one, just one! Then take your list of future losers and tell me which one is electable! As things stand today, 2008 belongs to the Democrats. They have a batch of stronger candidates some like Edwards will have already gone through this trial by fire once. Hillary will be the top prospect, enough time will have passed since the first Clinton White House that many voters will have been too young to remember all the issued with Bill. Instead of R.A.G. you should call yourself the S.I.C. Party, Single Issue Conservatives, since you are not taking in consideration the results of your action. For a catchy phrase you can call yourself the "Nose Less Party", since you cut off your noses to spite your face in 2004.

I will vote for George Bush and send him my money.

I will oppose 3rd party voting as a "throw-away" vote.

I will vote locally for conservative republicans who will take my conservative concerns to the higher echelons of government.

Speaking of Republicans against Bush. Will someone please tell me why John McCain is a Republican? He may have been a hero in Vietnam but he is a traitor to the Republican Party. Thanks to him we now have campaign finance reform that allows George Sorros to buy the election, way to go John boy. Is it any wonder they want him as the VP for the Democratic ticket? He has done more to help the democrats in the last year than he ever did for the Republican Party.
