"I just don't think that a Bush loss is a dire as some make it out to be. We made it through Clinton, and we'd make it through whichever of the dwarves scratches his way to the top too."

Sheesh. Yeah, right. And then we'd be doomed to suffer under twenty to forty more years of judicial activism long after your Clinton clone dwarf is gone. Judges live a long time. Liberal judicial decisions live forever. I nominate your quote as the DUh troll quote of the day.

I haven't read this whole thread (been gone all afternoon) but this "gridlock is preferable...elect a Rat president" first surfaced early yesterday on the morning cable talk shows, all spouted by hosts whom I suspect receive the DNC talking points. It then appeared here posted by some new posters, and pretty soon was echoed by certain long-time posters here.

Although I didn't listen to C-SPAN yesterday, I would bet cash money that it showed up on there morning call-in show as well.

In my opinion, and as I stated a couple of times yesterday, this is a Rat idea that is being pushed by the media and people on the internet, in an effort to manipulate disgruntled conservative voters. In addition, the media is ina full-court press to make Kerry seem centrist and militarily hawkish (an absolute lie).

I thought surely people on Free Republic would recognize this for what it is, but apparently not. I notice that Newsweek is both pushing a poll showing this as an acceptable alternative and also stories about the wonderfulness of Kerry.

I would hope people who are angry at Bush would take some time to think about the good he has done, the risks of a democrat president, and also make sure that the information they are basing decisions on is correct.

Thank you for your explanation about the judges. I also will point out that I am not particularly eager to replace Donald Rumsfeld with someone like William Cohen.

You know I'm not a DU troll, Jim. I've been here over 2 years. I've never even gotten a warning here for my behavior. I do understand the Judicial Appointments argument.

Jim, do you not see how some of the people here are using the word "conservative" as if it were a curse word? They are talking about conservatives as if they are the lowest of the low. The moderates and left leaning Republicans are hijacking your forum. Conservatives can't even get their frustrations off their chest before November gets here without them looking for you to make us stop or trying scare tactics to get their way. When that doesn't work, they use personal attacks. Look through this thread and see who's been doing the personal attacks. Of course, I would never think of telling you how to run your forum. I know that's not my place. I just want to make sure you see what I see. One person even wrote a whole diatribe (it's on this thread) saying that conservatives are like liberals with a list to go with it of what she thinks conservatives are like. They are also using you to get their way. Every thread they point out your opinion as if that should reflect the opinion of everyone here.

You know very well that atleast half of us who are frustrated and feel the need to complain to each other will end up voting for Bush in November. I can't imagine anyone here is going to actually vote democrat, and very few will vote Constitution Party. I myself am on the fence between viting and not voting for any Presidential candidates if my only choice is Bush, which it is. Bush needs to move back over to the right a little if I'm going to be motivated to vote for him.
