Call the WHite HOuse to Thank Bush for CFR!!!

Posted on 12/10/2003 1:09:18 PM PST by Maceman

For what good it will do, I just called the White House switchboard (202-456-1111) and conveyed my extreme outrage at Bush for not vetoing CFR when he had the chance.

I hope you all will do the same.

BTW, the operator told me "you are not alone."

Let's shut down the WH switchboard with howls of protest.

If I wasn't still even more terrified of the Democrats than I am of the Republicans (albeit barely at this point), I would never support Bush in '04 after this.

I am sick of Bush too. The question is, where do we put our votes next election? There must be quite a few of us that aren't Bushbots and see that Bush and the Republicans are no longer for the Constitution and smaller Government.

I'm writing in Alan Keyes. I regret I didn't do it last time. But never again will I support the Republican Party. I've had it with their socialist ways.

And your electable alternative candidate is____________?

BTW, I never used the term "take my chances with" Bush or anyone, except the M.D. I married.

I agree. Reagan was simply bowing to his Capitalist masters who want illegal immigration to undermine the worker's position in society. It's succeeded masterfully, since our real wages are now below 1970 level. We need a candidate who recognizes that in order to remain a sovereign nation, a wealthy nation and a prosperous nation, we must bring back manufacturing and livable wage jobs. The unFree Trade crowd has destroyed this nation.

Good choice but I don't know if Keyes will oppose Bush again. I've always been a big Keyes supporter. I don't know if Keyes has commented on this latest assault on America.

The thing that is so damnable about Bush is that he could have prevented this so easily and he chose to sign the bill.

Please show me my post wherein I stated I was anything other than displeased with today's ruling?

The problem with you, (and it's legendary) is you like to bitch, but do nothing to solve your complaints.

Well I'm not going to sit the election out either.

Good. Sitting out isn't a protest, it's a cop out. It enables the pols to chalk it up to voter apathy and dismiss it.

VOTE 3rd. Party and really send a message. If a few million people vote third, it will send an indeleble message, that we cared enough to go vote and we've rejected them so they'd better start acting like Conservatives or they're dust.

If you want to give as much as Soros you can, but it will not be going to the candidate, it will be going to an organization that pays a staff and overhead with your donations and no guarantee who they will support.

Limitations on individual donations that go directly to the candidate is a reasonable as far as I'm concerned. I don't need Bill Gates or George Soros manipulating elections by directly funding their choice for a candidate.

If George Soros had his choice, he would like to see Noam Chomsky or Ramsey Clark as the POTUS

Don't know who I will support this time. I supported Keyes and voted for Buchanan last time. I only know that I won't gamble away my rights by voting for Bush. Regards.

How about we set a one or two hour block for tomorrow where we really hammer the White House and Congress critter's phones.

I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to mention FreeRepublic in your message but at least it would remind them that some people are watching what they do.

That concept worked real well in 1992 didn't it, and once again in 1996 it worked like a charm. Bill Clinton has never forgotten what you did for him, and neither have I

But you'll waste your vote on Keyes or Buchanan. Good thinking. Very masturbatory. Makes you feel "good" and ever so principled.

And I'm sorry to hear you married an M.D. Must be hard to live with someone who is gone so much trying to swim upstream in the current socialized medicine mess in this country. (Which brings up another Bush socialism program, the huge new unearned welfare benefit for the demographic group with the HIGHEST income) Yep, that's just george. Good old conservative george. He's on our side all right. Let's just keep taking chances and voting for him. (Sarcasm)

Soros and Gates already manipulate the election. That's the point. Since only they can buy and own media sources that can manipulate at will, only they will have a voice in the New Amerika. But if I can join with a few million middle-class voters like myself through a Gun Owners of America, John Birch Society, NRA, Pro-life organization, Eagle Forum, etc., etc., then I could actually influence some voters. Which is why such activity is now verboten in the New Amerika. Alles ist en Ordnung! Regards.

What did you think of Buchanan cashing in on your donations, he lived like a king while pretending to be campaigning. The Tourist Guy was seen on the campaign trail more than Buchanan.

Talk about taking a gamble, casting a vote for Buchanan is far worse than a gamble, it's a waste

Putting aside the constitutional issues, do you think this campaign finance bill represents wise public policy?

I've already complained, but anyway to let King George know of our displeasure is fine with me.

President Bush is not responsible.

He begged the Republicans not to pass the law, but they did, so he said if you want it I will give it to you.

Now they have it and the democrats have already found a way around it.

Let them cry.

If you want to blame, or think someone, blame/think john mc cain.

He did this solely out of hatered of President Bush and to embarass him by making him veto it. Thr President called his bluff.

As bad as I hate hillary clinton and janet reno, either one of those have a more balls than, with the exception of Tom elay and Ron Paul, Donald Rumsfield, and President Bush, the entire Republican Party degatiion. I give them credit for such.

My recollection is that Bush caved for political reasons, and gave the green light for the House Pubbies to vote for it.

"No more electing those who will not uphold our laws"

That sounds fine and noble, but the reality is, the Perot voters gave us 8 years of Clinton. Funny how quickly people have forgotten what that was like. Too many here are ready to give up and turn the country back over to the 'Rats, and after 9/11?...- you people serioulsy want to give the country back to the 'Rats over this?

As I've said, I don't like CFR at all. But, it looks to me like President Bush and the Republicans decided to take the easy way out and rely on the Supreme Court to fix the mess rather than veto it and take a political hit. They took a risk and it blew up.

The CFR ruling is another example of the huge problems we have with an out-of-control judicial branch that has appointed itself Supreme ruler. It will have to be dealt with and reigned in at some point.

I don't get you people with your "my way or the highway" mentality when it comes to politics. The democrats count on people like you to muddy up the waters so people can't see just how bad the dems are, and how unfit they are to hold office. Didn't you learn ANYTHING from the 8 years of Clinton, and 9/11? You want to go there again?

"With all due respect, I don't understand the outrage. In making a "freedom of speech" argument against the campaign finance reform law, it would seem that ANY campaign finance law enacted by Congress or the states when such became the vogue in the mid-1970s would be a violation of the First Amendment. Regulation of campaign contributions, whether by individuals, corporations, or PACs, and whether to individual campaigns or to political organizations, are all regulated. So, why the outrage?

You are so correct!!!

I get the feeling that many people on this thread just get off on being outraged.

Watch and see. This law aint gonna make one bit of difference.

Organizations will find a way around it, just as they have over, and over, and over with all previous campaign finance laws.

Besides, if someone runs a "questionable" ad on radio or TV, by time they are taken to court, or whatever, the election will be over.

That's what happens now. How many times does so-and-so violate election laws, just to get slapped with a mini-fine AFTER the election is over.

Really, I don't think this will be a big deal at all.
