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.

Yes he cut taxes. But his free pills for granny act is going to force the government to jack them right up as the Boomers start retiring. He sure is compassionate with other people's money!

Given the alternatives, I think Dubya is our best bet. I know he's pissed a lot of people off, but President Dean?
Gaaaah!!!!

Well gee, his competition is his tax-raising father and Bill Clinton, so I guess it could be considered a true statement.

If they want to go back further, he probably also beats Ford, Carter, Nixon and LBJ.

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

George and his good friend Kennedy have poured billions down the education black hole, never to be seen again. Many conservatives are tired of the half a loaf government.

Conservatives should support the President now and in November because we asked for his kind of leadership. What was the thing conservatives (and many closet conservatives) hated the most about President Clinton? It was that he had no core values.

This woman is an RNC-programmed Bushbot. Knock her on the head, and I bet you hear the sound of metal. Bush shows that he is ready to dismantle America, but we are obliged to support him, because Bill Clinton had no core values? Nowhere does Zoller give arguments in support of Bush, or even cite actual arguments against him. This column is nothing but mush, and smells to me of RNC damage control.

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.

... the time when this mollycoddled nation of pablum-suckling piglets could stomach a real conservative is long since gone.

Twenty years from now, Dean will look like a conservative.

Setting aside the fact that he's done far more damage than any liberal could have done (because he pied pipered the GOP into looting our treasury and trampling the constitution) 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.

Well said.

Like it or not to the RNC flacks, conservatives are the spinal cord of the party. The GOP simply do not win elections without conservative support. So why do Republicans stupidly pander to "moderates" and "centrists" at the subtle insistance of the liberal media and DemocRats? Because the Rats know that conservatives will stay home when Republicans try to become me-too liberals and the Rats get elected.

This charade has got to stop - the Rats do this all the time. Force the Republican to adopt a few liberal stances, which antagonizes conservatives so they'll stay home.

Tom Delay says: "Dean's liberalism is DOA. I'd put our Republican majority to GOOD use rather than helping Duya pass his bs."

He cut taxes

Any tax relief is/will be soon negated by Bush's massive increases in government spending.

got our economy going again

For the short-term, yeah.....but Medicare, spending on illegal aliens and other assorted unconstitutional spending will negate any economic growth.

and lives and breathes the safety of this country and the people in it

I don't look to the government to protect me and my family. Do you?
