The same argument was made then in 2000. Not voting for Bush was claimed to be voting for ALgore. No more schoolyard arguments...........

An excellent post, Kevin. Kudos to you & hello. I haven't "seen" you for a while.

You're going to get ripped to pieces for this, of course. But, unfortunately our problem as a nation isn't being addressed by simply putting a Republican in power, joined with a Republican Congress, and then watching our agenda move forward, as some of us (myself included) had hoped.

It would have worked and it's the simplest solution, to be sure. Like Arnold in California, it would have demonstrated that we have workable ideas and they solve problems.

It didn't work because Dubya isn't interested in advancing the Conservative agenda. He's pandering and waffling to the point of making his own rule and Republican party dominance something to be afraid of, as opposed to the lesson in responsible governance we had hoped it would be.

To make matters worse, I don't think after all that's been said, done and proposed that an eleventh hour switch to Conservative principles would be anything but the desperate actions of a desperate man.

Nothing George W says, at this late hour, can restore my confidence in him. His deviation from Conservative ideals and principles has been so great.

Some people say we worry and cavail about our Southern border and forget that many illegals come through our border with Canada and jump ship at our ports,and some on airplanes and then just dissolve in the crowds. We have an excessive amount of Chinese ILLEGALS and Russian ILLEGALS and Irish ILLEGALS and ILLEGALS from the Middle East And Pakistan !

Thank you. Finally you see the problem. And to shut up about it, never solves the problem. And off course, to encourage the problem as this new Kinda-amnesty does, makes the problem worse. Anyone who loves and worries about the very existence of this country will never shut up about it. 12 million and counting is an invasion of this country of epic proportions, why does the President and his advisers encourage it? Does he still count on winning the electoral college without the popular vote again?

Accept 12 million Illegals - lose the White House.
The decision is the President's.
No Borders No Vote

So anyone who you disagree with is a liberal? Interesting logic. Philip can go stifle himself. He hasn't bothered to answer a simple question, and neither have you.

Well of course, voting for someone else isn't voting for Bush.

Funny you couldn't answer that, with a simple yes or no, without insulting me, or pigeonholing me as a liberal.

From THE WASHINGTON TIMES, "Bush defends deficit-laden 2005 budget", James G. Lakely, January 31, 2004

President Bush defended his 2005 budget, which will be officially introduced Monday with a projected deficit of $520 billion, maintaining it is consistent with his plan to cut the deficit in half in five years as long as Congress "is willing to make tough choices."

The fly in this ointment is that it is Bush who is supposed to control Congress's spending.

Vote for Gridlock in 2004!

Hey, Clinton got us majorities in both the House and Senate. Maybe Kerry could get the Republican congresscritters some backbones!

Bush Slips--Among Republicans

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was confirmed 97-3 without dissent in the Judiciary Committee, and without floor debate.

Also, she was never asked her views on affirmative action despite all of the senators on the Judiciary Committee knowing about her support for racial quotas as documented here: http://www.allanfavish.com/ginsburg.htm

I sent this material to the senators prior to her hearing and also to many media outlets. It was ignored, expect for the Los Angeles Daily Journal.

I know what I said. You're against the AWB, you're not voting for Bush, my question is, why? My reasoning is it's unconsititutional. I didn't see the sort of "raking over the coals" mentality when the Brady bill was signed into law, or when Clinton first signed the AWB into law, I also believe that criminals don't follow the law in the first place, that's why they're criminals. The more laws we put into place, the more that law abiding citizens feel powerless. Laws have never stopped criminals or Democrats. They'll always find a loophole.
