>>conservatives are irresponsibly attacking President Bush

I see it the other way. Criticism of the President's policies are responded to with various forms of abuse, invective, name calling and sheer hysteria.

Perhaps attempting to convince those who disagree might be a more fruitful venture.

Criticising policies is not bashing.

If you are thinking of voting Third Party or staying home on election day as a protest day, don't come back here and complain if we have a Democrat president.

A democrat who believes we should give immediate citizenship to illegal aliens.

A democrat who believes we should have socialized health care.

A democrat who believes the war on terror should be waged as a law enforcement matter.

A democrat who will get us back into Kyoto.

A democrat who will have our soldiers submit to the rules of the ICC.

A democrat who will not do anything on the international front UNLESS we have permission from the UN.

A democrat who will make judicial appointments that are so liberal we can expect to see more judges who support the more perverse elements of our society.

A democrat who will permit women to abort their children as the make their way down the birth canal.

Need I go on? So don't stay home. Do you duty. It's a simple duty. If our soldiers can give what they are sacrificing every minute of every day, the least you can do is hold your nose and vote for a man who isn't quite as conservative as you would like him to be.

If we end up with a Democrat president as a result, I do hope people are ashamed of their decision to abdicate their responsibility to vote for the BEST candidate, not the perfect candidate. There is no such thing as the PERFECT candidate.

I agree. Some of the most abusive are those freepers who would vote for a communist, if only he called himself a republican.

It isn't the criticism that bothers me, it's the method used to critize.

I don't agree with the President's domestic agenda. I think it panders to the left too much, even though I understand the rationale of taking away the left's agenda.

THAT IS CRITICISM. But to call the President names and say he's lying and cheating and every other outrageous lie, that is not criticism - that's THE POLITICS OF PERSONAL DESTRUCTION.

I WILL VOTE FOR BUSH - even though I don't agree with everything he has done. But .. I'm basing it on the fact that my nephew will be leaving in 1 month for Iraq. I want a president who will not just support my nephew, but give him all the equipment and supplies he needs.

KERRY WILL NOT DO THAT!! Kerry will do exactly what Johnson did .. he will send our men to a hell hole and then leave them without the support, equipment and supplies they need. NO THANK YOU .. I DO NOT TRUST KERRY WITH MY NEPHEW'S LIFE.
