Conservatives Should Support the President Now and in November Because…

…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?

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.

are willing to sacrifice umpteen other conservative issues in order to simply drive home a point!

Like CFR, big govt entitlements, border security, Department of Education, 2nd amendment rights, etc... Oh, sorry I forgot, what was the point Whore-Hay Bush was trying to make?

[WhatHappenedtoAmerica]

I'm not certain which part made you sad.


Expounding on the service aspect. I have thought many times of Blackhawk Down. How do you think those Spec Warriors would have felt to know just before they died that Adid (I think that is the name of the clan leader they were after) had thirteen (13) children - all of them living in the U.S.! One of the dead soldiers has a street named after him in a town in Maine - near the area where thousands of Somalis converged to take up residency and soak up their liberal welfare system.


Now we can ask a solder to die to protect the social security paycheck of someone in Mexico City or to perserve the right of La Raza to seek the establishment of Aztlan or whatever they call our southwest.

I didn't vote for him in 2000,

You didn't vote for him? Yet you went out and fought for him?

You just like to fight, don't you?

I suspected that you didn't vote for him, so who the hell cares how much you fought for him? If he'd lost, who cares how much you'd fought?

Hypocrite.

[Dane]

Besides that, we will be getting the same as democrat policies.

Like the Kyoto treaty?

[Flyer]

Now you've done it

Yeah, I guess I can go to bed and sleep well now.

[mr.pink]

And you know that.

I certainly did....but choosing between UN driven Nation Building and NeoCon driven Nation Building is a toss up in my book. IMO, both entities are as morally corrupt and untrustworthy as it gets.....so I'm leaning towards opting for the UN.

[TomServo]

Yeah, I guess I can go to bed and sleep well now.

I think you asked the one question nobody can answer. Yet.

[SerpentDove]

Your reference to September 11 does one thing for sure.

It highlights the foolishness of leaving the borders open.

[KantianBurke]

Vote Dubya!

Because YOU can be declared an "enemy combatant" and not have to worry about those pesky Bill of Rights!

[Dane]

Kofi Annan and Jacques Chirac thank you.

[rocksblues]

Rudy for President!

[KC_Conspirator]

Okay, you have another point. Good thing the Senate will never ratify that crap. But what I meant was more increased and ineffective education spending, medicare expansion, illegal immigration, and farm pork.

[Howlin]

No wonder you like Howlin

Do the honorable thing and ping me when you're talking about me.

And it may come as a huge shock to you, but there are a lot of people around here who do, in fact, like me.

And if you sit home and a Dem wins, you HAVE turned the country over to the liberals. You accuse us of putting party before country; well, I accuse you of putting yourself before the country.

Live with it.

[Nanodik]

Well I'll take a "Whore-Hay" Bush anyday over a Nanometerdik head.

Not a fair comparison because I am not running and like Ahhh-nold and excluded from holding that public office.

[Sofa King]

"Not thin skinned or anything, but its just amazing that after 8 years of the Clintons, people would want to go back to that." Well then here's a tip: learn to deal with criticism better.

"Hows is that staement ironic and why does that make me idiot?"

Let's see:

You start off by praising Howlin for a completely random, witless act of name-calling. Then you accuse me of wanting to turn the country over to Dean.

Ah, but then it's too bad that I'm resorting to name-calling. You see, that's irony.

[Eris]

And it may come as a huge shock to you, but there are a lot of people around here who do, in fact, like me.

I think you're the best! By far the most intelligent, on-topic, original poster ever to tread FR!

Excelsior!

[libertylass]

I have to say one thing......I'm sick to death of settling. I have voted Republican since I became interested in politics in 1994. What Bush is doing is saying %$#& you to me and putting 10 million illegals aliens in a position to control the voting trends in our country.

Bush has turned a deaf ear and blind eye to the border mess. I believe it was deliberate so that millions could continue to pile into this country, force wages down, and then give him the opportunity to "free" them. He has turned out to be a President I can't trust anymore. This issue is the biggest issue for me, as seen by my personal activism in the illegal alien arena. I will not vote for a man who ignores the American voice and symathizes with law-breakers. I hope those of you who vote BUSH no matter what, can see the changes this country will make.....like it or not. We have no choices anymore. It's Bush or no one, according to many on this board. Well, I'm going to leave my Presidential vote blank or vote for a third party. If that puts another undesireable in the President's seat then maybe that's just what this country needs. We're going down the cesspool as it is....come see my neighborhood. After four years I would hope that a Republican comes forward who will take us seriously. To "settle" for the Bush amnesty is worse, to me, than staying home on voting day.

[Hand em their arse]

The part that made me sad was the thought that, you're right. My father past away in March and he taught me why being a conservative republican is the right thing to be. It's because being a liberal is easy. It's easy to just bitch and bash and complain with no thoughts as to a different answer. It's just easier. Now I see what my dad meant and I just pray that we wake up before the liberals take over again and then they wake up one day after this country changes beyond all of our worst nightmares and say "Holy shit, they were right"

[HennepinPrisoner]

[Vote for W]...because he is doing so well in the "War on Terror" (aside from that whole "open borders/rewards for lawbreakers" thing.

Huh? How can he be doing "so well" on the War on Terror when terrorists are crossing the borders undetected on a daily basis? You think all those people crossing the borders are just Mexicans looking for work? LOL!

[nopardons]

Look, you are entitled to your opinion, however muddled, naive, and harmful to yourself it is.

President Bush isn't a Dem, a Liberal, and there IS a difference between him and his Dem rivals. There is also a HUGE difference ( thank GOD ! ) between him and the right-wing ( which is a misnomer, where the Libertarian Party is concerned !) fringe parties are. The LP and the CP are worse, when it comes to terrorism and the WoT. The LP is for OPEN BORDERS . The new CP candidate is even worse, on terrorism, than Dean.

Some, here, who imagine themselves to be the ONLY Conservatives, understand reality and politics, so poorly, and are so far removed from the mainstream ( those NOT on FR ), that no matter the time and effort it takes to keep explaining it all / proving whatever it is that you feel you need explaining, NOTHING gets through to you, so no, I won't even make a stab at it at.

Please PROVE, to me, what staying home/voting for a kook fringe candidate, has " taught " the GOP/RNC in the past.
