If not Bush, then who?

I've noticed several threads where people say they will not vote for Bush if he supports certain causes. Some include:

Memogate:

Broad Amnesty in immigration:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1046165/posts

(Please don't see this as an attack on those threads or any comments in them, it's not.)

While I agree with the conservative position on both of these threads, I don't understand how a person could not vote for Bush even if he does some things that are inexplicable from a conservative point of view.

My belief is nothing could be worse than a democrat in office in 2004. I know that is the lesser of two evils vote, but it is true.

Even if Bush gave amnesty to immigrants to pander to hispanics, which would be disgusting, is that reason enough to allow a democrat a greater chance to get in office? Wouldn't the dems likely do worse?

No, not Marine Corps aviation.

Consort and her ilk are easy to spot. They are the first ones to lead the cheer-leading for our current troops, and the first one here on FR to bad-mouth and denigrate our former troops and desparage their opinions should those former troops take issue with them.

They are the kind that give platitudes to those they wish to risk their lives for them so they don't have to, and the first to deny the respect to those who have earned it in doing so in their stead.

I have seen their kind numerous times and am used to them.

Pay them no mind.

Wrong on both counts, so far. I'm not a her and your powers of observation are flawed.

...and the first one here on FR to bad-mouth and denigrate our former troops and desparage their opinions should those former troops take issue with them.

Wrong again...you're batting .ooo. It has everything to do with attitude and nothing to do with former, present, or future service members. We are a military family (Army Ranger, Army Officer, and Marine Corps Staff Sergeant), plus a Firefighter.

I have seen their kind numerous times and am used to them.

You saw what you wanted to see based on your biases and not on logic.

Pay them no mind.

You blew it...bigtime.

We are a military family M

We? How bout YOU! What did YOU do, not your family!!!!!!!11 Hb

[Consort]

You're pretty dumb, aren't you?

[Hoverbug]

Not dumb enough to believe your line.

Nice "non-answer" BTW.

What have YOU done?

Hb

[Consort]

What have YOU done?

None of your business, and everything I posted was accurate, so don't go around accusing me or other of lying.

[Hoverbug]

You posted "We are a military family (Army Ranger, Army Officer, and Marine Corps Staff Sergeant), plus a Firefighter" which may be "accurate" (in your words) with the intent to imply that you were one of these, when you aren't.

If you aren't one of these, then you're nothing more than a pretender wishing to cash in on the honor and bravery of someone else who personally paid the price while you didn't.

I've never met a member of the above group (Army Ranger, Army Officer, and Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, Firefighter) who was ashamed to say he was one of these.

Nor have I met any that came close to giving up their lives in order to preserve liberty that would give liberty up as easily as you.

So I'll ask you once again. Are you a member of the group you indicated (Army Ranger, Army Officer, and Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, Firefighter), or just stealing the honor of family members who are.

[Consort]

And you accuse others of attacking the military. You're even going after their families. Great. Again, it's none of your business.

[Hoverbug]

LOL!!

Thanks for the confirmation.

Have you read the book, Stolen Valor?

Hb

[Hoverbug]

BTW, do you think that people at FR aren't bright enough to notice that YOU, not me, are the one who brought up "Army Ranger, Army Officer, and Marine Corps Staff Sergeant), plus a Firefighter" in your post and now that you're called on it, won't claim to be any of these?

Hb

[Consort]

You stated a bunch of trash on post #481 and my response blew it away. At the end, you said: "Pay them no mind." Well, your can tell other to do that but you don't practice what you preach.

[Hoverbug]

Startin' to get a little tight, ain't it.

Hb

[Consort]

...do you think that people at FR aren't bright enough...

Yes, they are and are you one of them?

[Hoverbug]

Yes, I am one of these. I've noticed you've tried to claim the honor of others.

Hb

[Consort]

Wrong again and very warped, and next time think twice about accusing others of being anti-military just because they disagree with you.

[Hoverbug]

More false accusations.

You've been exposed.

G'night.
