Conservatives Should Support the President Now and in November Becauseā€¦
Jewish World Review, January ^ | January 13, 2004 | Martha Zoller

…They Asked for His Kind of Leadership

You hear it in the coffee shops all over the "red areas" of the map. Everyone knows that is where the real politics is discussed in America. Conservatives are asking themselves, "What was the President thinking?" They might be talking about No Child Left Behind, or steel tariffs or the signing of many less than conservative bills.

In the coffee shops in the "blue areas," liberals don't sit around much. They are too angry and busy to stop for a while but many are thinking that President Bush is the most conservative president in years, since "oh, my God, Reagan," and he must be stopped.

Both of these assessments cannot be true and after spending years looking at politics, I took my first serious stand on a candidate in 1968 at the tender age of 9, if both sides are mad at you, you are probably on the right track. So why should conservatives and moderates support the President, now on issues and later this year at the ballot box?

-snip-

Based on the history of this President, we better not count him out till we see how things unfold. He is what conservatives asked for in a President. He cut taxes, got our economy going again and lives and breathes the safety of this country and the people in it. When it is all said and done, George W. Bush does what he believes is right for the American people and he is willing to stand on his record in November.

Ofcourse, it's the same story for the last 2 1/2 years... Don't bother offering any new ideas or solutions to what they feel the problems are, let's just bitch. Because they know the Frankens' and the Carvilles' and the Kennedys' and the Daschles' will get the majority of the camera time on the major networks talking points.

Let's just get used to it and then watch with a smile when we spank the ever-loving snot out of them in Nov

Some of them will probably vote for Bush, once they have done their drama queen act.

Bush warned Congress to be sure that what they passed was what they wanted because he wasn't going to veto it.

Why? Why wouldn't he veto something he felt deeply and inherently against?

RE:"So what is the alternative my friends? A Democrat who is going to tax you to death, sell our national security to the UN and Europe. Please think very hard about this."

And Bush isn't. Dude that tax bill is still going to have to be paid. How will it be paid. Tax the people. aka Their is no such thing as a free lunch. Well as for me I am voting third party.

I'm not interested in starting the whole circle jerk again.

Then why the original inane post?

You ask it as if this aspect hasn't been thought about and debated a thousand times before you even signed up.

Did I say it was original. No. You need to answer the question otherwise your ‘opinion’ is just trash talk.

I'm honestly not trying to be offputting or rude.

Oh really? Let me see if I can remember the quote……goes something like this:

They have this whacked mentality….. a bunch of demented, unintelligent personality cultist tards.

I'm just done, that all. That's the word .... "done".

Then I suggest you get ‘forked’.

I'm too am a Dubya supporter...but i think he also said he was going to cut spending and deep six the Department of Education ( or at least cut back on it's influence) and I haven't seen this. That's a major disappointment.

Democrat or Republican...I just don't like folks who will say one thing to get elected (ala the immigration proposal) and then back pedal when it's time to put up or shut up.

Domestically, he's as much of a disappointment as was Daddy Bush.

And that third party will be?

Dont bother, he doesnt know. But Ill tell you what I know, voting third party or sitting out the vote, will usher in the Dean, Clark, Or Clinton era. And then who will they blame? Bush. Sheesh. Im disapointed, too. But Im also smart enough enough to this is a PROPOSAL, not a Clinton executive order. It has to be debated and voted into law. Rather than flame on political forums, these "Bush didnt do exactly what I wanted him to do, so I will allow Dean to win" types should be actively lobbying their Reps and Senators. Just my opinion..

GRIDLOCK!

And that gridlock means a Dean or Clark as Commander in Chief. It won't be gridlock, but more like giving the key to the lock to the euroweenies and the UN.

How many new ineffective but costly cabinets departments did Reagan introduce? How much of the taxpayers money was sent to another country in the form of ridiculous medical prevention in the name of Reagan? How many illegals were granted rights unprecedented under Reagan? And, yet to come and you mark my words, how many weapons bans were signed under Reagan's pen?

Really, how dare he. Reagan signed a tax increase, never signed a piece of anti-abortion legislation, and signed amnesty in 86.

Now, now, wasn't it you just today who was saying...

there is one major reason I won't supporting him. His supporters, within this forum and without. They have this whacked mentality, nearly to a person, where they savage anyone who disagrees with their precious "with us or against us" semi-god. You can't even have a converstation with them. I would never vote for a Dem, but I won't throw my lot in with a bunch of demented, unintelligent personality cultist tards.

I thought you were like SO above all that.

Other than Reagan, he’s the most conservative president since JFK. Whoop-de-friggin’ doo.

I am not sure but I think Ford would be considered more conservative than Whore-Hay Bush.

Conservatives Should Support the President Now and in November Because…

Maybe because if any nominatable Democrat wins he will give the UN a veto over American national defence and pack the courts with still more elitist secularist zealots who will finish destroying the foundations of social order? Is that a reason? Or should we cut off our noses to spite our face, and let our grandchildren inherit the shame of millions more abortions and Dutch-style killing of the elderly, while living in one big terror-dominated Belfast from sea to shining sea? -- but by God we didn't dirty our hands voting for that SOB Bush!

Some people fear immigration and the national debt. I fear total social collapse under the pressures of global terrorism, leftist judicial tyranny, and Democrat's taxing the life out the country to support Social Security once the boomers are living off a workforce half their number. Some people fear the prospect of their grandchildren living in Mexifornia. I fear the prospect of mine living in Monrovia USA. I don't know how to convince someone who doesn't see the reality of that prospect. But I'm voting for Bush.

Oh about 3 million(see the amnesty act of 86).

Anyway, go ahead and bitch and moan. Oh BTW, Reagan also raised the Social Security tax, Bush is trying to bring privatization into the mix.

This doesn't mean I despise Reagan as you despise Bush. I think that Reagan was a great President, but I actually get my facts staright before I post.
