Send a Message to El Presidente Bush!
03/09/2004 | Mike Johnson

Posted on 03/09/2004 9:49:13 AM PST by Mike Johnson

Are you disappointed in President Bush? Would you prefer that he retaliate against the country that actually attacked us on 9/11 (Saudi Arabia) rather than prosecute futile campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq? Would you prefer to abolish both the Department of Education and the Department of Homeland Security? Would you rather he hadn't shred the remnants of the Bill of Rights with the PATRIOT Act? Would you rather he hadn't sponsored the biggest increase in social welfare spending since 1965? Would you prefer that he refrain from giving the country away to illegal immigrants? Would you like to register a protest without voting for some #@!%ing Democrat? Well, if you're a registered voter in Texas, today's your lucky day!

Bush doesn't really have an opponent in today's Texas Republican primary, but you can vote for Uncommitted. Our president isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but if he were to lose his home state to Uncommitted, perhaps he'd take notice. Perhaps he'd realize that alienating the conservative base of his party isn't such a great idea.

Ah Mike, I think you are on the wrong web site. You want the Move-on.org or the Democrat Underground websites for this sort hysteric I-hate-Bush postings. We are use to seeing you DNC directed posters here, you are not fooling anyone by pretending to be a Conservative.

If you think that Bush is a conservative, then I suggest that it's you who is the DNC-directed poster. I don't hate Bush. I just think that he ought to be running for the Democrats.

I don't like Bush's Neocon, globalistic tendancies but he's still far, far better than the alternative.

I just used two minutes of my life on this garbage, two minutes that I'll never get back. Thanks so much, Professor.

Oh, I don't think you hate President Bush. I just think you're doing everything in your power to elect a treasonous, two-faced, liberal goober from Taxachusetts.

I was just pointing a simply way to protest Bush's neocon, globalistic tendencies without voting for the alternative.

Actually, I'd cut my arm off before voting for a Democrat. That's why I probably won't vote for Bush in November, unless he rejoins the Republican Party in the mean time.

Actions speak louder than words, Mr. Johnson. The Kerry campaign is probably sending you a dozen roses as I type this.

The contrast between President Bush and John Kerry is painfully obvious to the objective among us.

Kindly explain how voting to send the Texas delegates to the Republican convention uncommitted benefits Kerry. Somehow, I expect Bush to be the Republican nominee in any case. As I've tried to explain, repeatedly, it's a way to register a protest of some of Bush's policies without voting for a Democrat. If Bush could be persuaded to abandon some of his liberal initiatives, e.g., the amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens that somehow isn't an amnesty, then perhaps fewer conservatives will stay home in November.

I agree with you 100%. True conservatives are against runaway spending. True conservatives are against the stripping of individual freedoms. Conservatives need to require more of our president. He is not looking out for conservatism, he's looking out for the energy sector, the defense contractors, ......

You're asking me how dissension among his base in his home state would hurt the President's re-election effort? You know the answer to that.

I've heard Michael Savage utter the same things that Mike Johnson utters. Few question whether he's a conservative. Coop, its okay to criticize your choice, withhold your vote for awhile, and demand the President reform his positions. Don't walk lock-step and disregard the tenets of conservativism. Mr. Johnson has some very good points.

Don't walk lockstep? [rolling eyes]

Okay, why don't you tell me about Mr. Johnson's good points? I'd especially love to hear about our "futile" efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Or hear specifically where President Bush violated the Bill of Rights with the Patriot Act.

OK, Coop. It's common knowledge that the administration's decision to use local troops in Afghanistan allowed Osama Bin Laden to escape. Need I provide references? You won't.

On 9/11/01, 15 of 19 highjackers were Saudis. All were members of an organization led by Osama Bin Laden, a Saudi, and financed, as far as we know, entirely by Saudi businessmen. (Again, need I provide references?) So naturally, Bush invaded Iraq and gave the Saudis a free pass. I've been asking knee-jerk Bush supporters for an explanation of these events for more than a year. Perhaps you can provide one.

Here's a blurb about the PATRIOT Act (PATRIOT is an acromym) from a Paul Craig Roberts column, How the Protection of Law Was Lost:

The Patriot Act and follow-up proposals are destroying habeas corpus and permitting warrentless searches and spying. Supposedly, these police state measures are directed toward terrorists, but they are certain to expand, just as asset freezes and forfeitures expanded. On May 21 of this year the Washington Post reported that the Justice Department acknowledged in a 60-page report to the House Judiciary Committee that it has used many of the anti-terrorism powers granted in the wake of September 11 to pursue defendants for crimes unrelated to terrorism, including drug violations, credit card fraud and bank theft. Some people say police and prosecutors will protect the innocent by exercising careful discretion. If asset forfeiture is the example of police discretion, 80% of those incarcerated under the new anti-terror laws will be innocent.

By the way, Bush's troubles with his conservative base have been in the news already, for example, Bush upsets part of conservative base.

Beg pardon? Not all conservatives believe we should be the world's policeman, shipping jobs overseas, or joined-at-the-hip with any other country. That doesn't make me a Bush-hater.

Bush is the only decisive, moral, God-fearing candidate running who has a chance to win. He gets this vote.

Nonsense. Anyone who is wasting our time attacking Bush is doing the DNC's work. By running down Bush, you are helping elect Kerry, so obviously, you do not really care about the issues you wrote about in your first post. I am continually amazed how supposed "Conservatives" think it is better to get 100% of what THEY OPPOSE from Kerry rather then working to improve upon the 60% they FAVOR from Bush. But the overheated retoric and name calling in your 1st post expose clearly that you DO hate Bush and that you ARE of the same mindset of the Hysterical Leftists at Move-on.org and Democrat Underground.com. So Please quite wasting our time by pretending to be something you are not.

Of course Mr Johnson wasn't bothered at all by the fact that the same tactics in the Patriot act are those that have been used in RICCO laws since the 1980s. It is only NOW that George Bush is in the White House is Mr Johnson suddenly hysterically afraid of the Governement's Law Enforcement powers! Now, Mr Johnson, without wasting our time with more hysteric DNC directed talking points, Please explain how you, or anyone you know, has been directly effected by the Patriot Act? No hearsay, rumors or fearmongering. Give me direct evidence of how the Patriot act effects you??????

Let's see, we are fighting a war and a recession. And we are suppose to be upset about Federal Spending increases? Where has the Republican Congress been for the last 2 years? Where was the "Conservative" movement???? NOW all of sudden on the eve of an election, all these "Conservatives" pop up whining about Bush's spending??? Where you guys been? Why do you give your Republican Congress a free pass? Let see, Domestic Spending (Which includes Homeland Security spending) has gone up 4x under Bush but only 2xs under Clinton. That seems to be the factoid that drives these DNC activist "Conservatives" wild. Hmm, 4xs in the midst of a war and a recession while only 2xs under Clinton who had full employment, peace and a growing economy? Why did Federal Spending go up at ALL under Clinton, it SHOULD of been massively CUT!

But Tell us Mr Johnson, how do you think anything will improve under a Kerry Administration? Rather then jumping out of the frying pan into the Kerry fire, why don't you spend 1/3 as much time lobbying Congress to reimplement the 1995 Budget rules as you do wasting our time with your anti-Bush Tirades?

I like President Bush. I like his foreign and domestic policy (with some exceptions). However, even if I was "mad" at him, I WOULD STILL VOTE FOR HIM. The reason can be summarized in two words: "JOHN KERRY"
