Two-timing me already?
Sheesh, what a fickle pickle you are.
Your motives may be admirable, but your M.O. stinks. You want to change 60 yrs. of liberal/socialist incrementalism in 4 yrs. When you travel from New York To Los Angeles, sometimes you have to get off in Chicago. In spite of what the dims say, President Clinton placed over twice as many Supreme Court and U.S. District Court Judges then Reagan and Bush 1 combined. I have heard arguments for gridlock, and they are insane. The dims just go Judge shopping, find a fellow traveler, and voilla' the Legislature is usurped.!
First come, first served.
In every sense of those words.
Problem is, Bush is creating some of those liberal excesses.
Well, Congressman Billybob pulled me back from the edge. He made a good case that if there is a conservative bone in Dubya's body, that it would manifest in a much more pronounced fashion in the second term. I'm not so sure Bush has those conservative bones, but.... I'm a little more open minded than before.
ALL bets are off if he signs a renewel to the Assault Weapons ban. Bet ya he'd lose a clean 5 million votes by doing that, mine included.
We surely can.I'm glad, too.
I know & FWIW, I think it's downright laughable.
Reagrdless if patrons agree with your rant, I would think it obvious that you aren't a disgruntled Democrat.
But hey, it's easier than debating the points you made and allowing them to stand or fall on their own merit.
Regards Kevin.
Any person claiming to be conservative who is not motivated to keep the Democrats out of power after knowing EXACTLY what they will do with it if given the opportunity, has a real problem with reality. They're either political martyrs, have not been paying attention to what the Democrat candidates have been promising they will do if elected, or are ignoring (or are totally or willfully ignorant of) the history of the last seventy years, or are incredibly dense or insane, or have a morbid desire to toil their lives away in the misery of a Liberal Hell! Any person who would support a third party candidate who has absolutely zero chance of winning even one state or even a single electoral vote is so politically naive and devoid of the brainpower that The Creator so graciously endowed upon them, that it's not even worth wasting pixels on.
And I can tell you, that I probably won't be wasting very many more pixels on people who are coming to FR to trash and bash our candidates and or to trash and bash and drive away the very posters I'm trying to attract. If the intent of third party supporters is to cause as much hell and discontent on our forum and to inflict as much damage to FR as they possibly can, well, I can assure you we will have many fewer third party posters left on FR very soon. The LePur colony can have them. Thank you very much.
It might be different if there was a primary involved. These kind of battles need to take place as part of the process of selecting the best person to run. In this case, there will be no primary. God willing and barring any major disasters, George W. Bush will be the candidate. So it will either be Bush or one of the Democrats that gets elected. No one else stands a snowball's chance in hell. And I've given every person on this web site plenty of advance notice (I've been saying it for the last three years) that FR will NOT be used to help replace Bush with a Democrat. Period. End of story.
Again, if that is your intent, leave now or get yourself banned later. Excessive and repetitive attacks on our candidates or our posters will not be tolerated. Try your luck at DUh or LibertyPost. In presidential politics, they are interchangeable.
That would be lovely, wouldn't it? I can't change 60 yrs. of liberalist/socialist incrementalism in 4 yrs. I can only vote for the people that I believe might.
Getting off in Chicago means never getting to LA, if someone has changed your destination.
How does one stop socialism by voting for those who advance it?
HOT DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hard to believe anyone would admit that, let alone wear it on their sleeve. Enough said.
Good luck with your tax payer paid career.
Why would you say that to somebody trying to earn a living?
We'll after multiple personal attacks by this individual, and then finding out he's compensated by hard working tax payers, I just can't imagine Howlin.
The Man has spoken. Spread it around.
Most Americans are centrist, not far right or far left. Kerry is far left, which is a losing position with the center.
Bush is a center-right president. Conservative on some issues, center on others, liberal on a few.
Kerry is liberal on everything, whether you are talking about taxes, spending, defunding the military and intelligence, abortion, gay marriage, gun rights, or affirmative action.
The media is pushing the idea that Kerry is a centrist, so as to make the general public think him unthreatening, particularly on defense. They are also trying to push the idea that electing the democrat would give us a divided government (gridlock), and are pushing this idea among conservatives that it is preferable.
It is an obvious attemp to manipulate the elctorate through disinformation and propoganda. If the Republicans are divided, it gives the Rats an advantage.
Ask yourself this: if the democrats had all of Congress and the presidency (as they did with Clinton in 1992), how happy would they be to surrender the presidency, even if they still controlled Congress? The answer is obvious....they would consider it a loss.
So why are Republicans and conservatives swallowing this bit of codswallop? The presidency contols foreign policy, cabinet positions, and judicial appointments. We can't afford to lose it.
