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.

Re: "The federal government has a basic responsibility to protect our nation and the people from foreign invaders. No local militia or closet full of firearms can protect us sufficiently in today's world of global warfare."

You need to go back and look at what Nikita Kruschev said about invading the USA!

Oh, I got it; it's not as funny as you seem to think it is; but, hey, keep doing it so everybody will know how "clever" you are.

[Howlin]

If you're so smart, why do you keep posting to me?

I'm so sick and tired of those BUSH shills who batter those of us that expect our Repulican President to act like one and protect our borders!

Just for your information....as mad as I am at Bush and Rove, I joined a newly started Republican group in my home town called the Conservative Republican Assembly. I'm the newly elected Membership Secretary. We aim to start making change with our moderate/social conservatives here in California. At least I'm trying to fight back before Bush does his dirty deed. If this passes in Congress though, I will not vote for him. I will, however, fight like a one woman warrior between now and November.

Do you, by chance, weigh 300 pounds?

Conservatives KNEW , back then, when Reagan gave the blanket amnesty, that it wouldn't work, was wrong, but unlike President Bush's plan, Reagan's WAS amnesty , which the proposed " blue card " thing isNOT ! President Bush's PROPOSAL has to go to Congress; it is NOT a done deal, and no one knows what the end result will look like; yet, you are childishly mewling about it, as though it had already been enacted.

And yes, " shame on you ", for being interested in politics, for 10 years and for NOT having learned much of anything at all about the realities of politics, after a decade.

Looking for a date?

Kevin, I didn't know that you took over Miss Cleo's job. You're about as good at it, as shed was.

[KantianBurke]

Vote Dubya!

Because your kids need to learn about how diversity is our strength...the hard 'violence in schools' way!

[billbears]

And, in some instances, President Bush is more Conservative, than Reagan was.

Please elaborate

[libertylass]

Your pompous attitude is boring.

[nopardons]

"If you're so smart, why do you keep posting to me?"

Everyone knows you like to have the last word. I'm one of the few who doesn't allow you that satisfaction.

[Sofa King]

I'll be doing it as long as you refuse to stop being a retard.

[Howlin]

Your pompous attitude is boring.

So is your "I'm more of a conservative than you are" attitude.

[St.Chuck]

.....so I'm leaning towards opting for the UN.

You make a good point. At least with the UN the cost for these nation-building schemes might be spread out a little more.
