When the President of the United States ignores a great vulnerability in our security, I cannot in good conscience support him.

By not supporting him you will deprive him of your vote. If enough liberals in your state support the other guy / girl then you're principles on border-control will amount to a hill of beans.

[WRhine]

I hope he takes advantage of the state of the union show to correct a few of these Democrat/media inspired misconceptions about the war, the 16 words, etc, etc.

Yep, that's another past lie that is coming back to haunt him.

Thank you Prairie!

just talked to rank and file agents in the San Diego Sector who said illegal entries SOARED on the day Bush announced the proposal.

Ha! I reside in San Diego. You have just posted an outright lie.

[AAABEST]

Here I was thinking I was being nice.

Don't let the bedbugs bite.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

We are worlds apart on values and agenda. It was a Democrat who started the maniacal importation of illegals. It was a Democrat who signed NAFTA. Now why would I get along with them? They are just co-opting our stance.

[CWOJackson]

Glad to see you don't allow them to annoy you. That upsets them about as much as their own political impotence.

[Naspino]

He needs to throw us a bone every once in a while.

Look at my homepage. I'd rather have those Bones then the ones Dean, Kerry, and Clark are proposing. If Bush loses and Clark wins I cannot wait to see this place the day he proposes his "plan for passing National Security concerns through the European Union for approval". I will have NO pity upon you that day my friend.

[nopardons]

Exactly so. THose were dim, dark, hellish days on FR and I knew it would be as bad, if not worse, this election season. :-(

[Texasforever]

I was stunned then by Bubba's stupidity, and I am just as stunned now by Dubya's.

Yep old dumb dubya has spent his entire political career beating and in the case of war, killing or dethroning those that were "stunned" at his stupidity. You should be so stupid.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

If a Rat President outspends Bush, it's because people like you turned a blind eye. If a Rat president proposes amnesty, it's because people like you applauded it. Could we really be worse off? Put asside your Bush rose colored goggles for a minute. What are you issues, and how is he doing on those? He's flunking out with a large number of us. Calling us names will make us angry, but it will not change our position anymore than it does when the Rats do it.

[CWOJackson]

I pity the folks still on active duty if Clark wins. He would sign onto the World Court in a second...and allow U.S. troops to be tried as war criminals. He would also place U.S. troops directly under the leadership of NATO and the UN.

Don't be terrified. Notice how many posts are actually only from one or two people. And those one or two are believers of a New World Order conspiracy. They hardly represent a majority. However, 53%, though a drop in approval rating, IS a majority. Perhaps the decrease is merely a reflection of the attitudes of people who are swayed by the current onslaught of ads and discussions and news reports about the upcoming "close race" among the Dims. It's just a stirring of the political pot right before a cacus and primary that will likely decide the candidate who will oppose our President in November.

President Bush's numbers may even drop lower before they rise again. I'm not going to let it bother me because I think the numbers really don't count until the very end of October. :o)

Well we may have the political impotence, but you have the real type.

Perfect description : political impotence. The politically impotent. No wonder they're so distraught.

[deport]

even I voted NO and I support Bush's right to speak and suggest proposals to Congress. :)

LOL..... Yep the poll doesn't asked about who one would support in the upcoming election, only about one policy proposal...... Look a little more Gallup, since Gallup is the article from this this discussion was originated....

In 2000, the American electorate was evenly divided. Now, as we enter another voting season, the Gallup Organization has released a study, based on 40,000 interviews, that shows that 45.5 percent of voters identify with or lean toward the Republican Party and 45.2 percent identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party.

So is that it? After Sept. 11, the Iraq war and the Madonna-Britney kiss, could it really be that we are back to where we started? Since 2000, tens of millions of people have moved, divorced and converted; can it really be that everything in America changes except politics?

Yes and no. Yes, the political divides today do look a lot like the ones that split the nation in 2000. But no. When you look beneath the headline data, you see at least one important change. The events of the past three years have brought to the foreground issues that divide Democrats, and pushed to the background issues that divide Republicans.

The first result is that the Republican Party is more unified than ever before. Ninety-one percent of Republicans approve of the job President Bush is doing. In 1992, Bush's father didn't have anything like that level of support, and even the Reagan administration was split between so-called pragmatists and ideologues.

Today's Republicans not only like Bush personally, they also overwhelmingly support his policies. According to a Pew Center study, 85 percent of Republicans support the war in Iraq, 82 percent believe that pre-emptive war is justified, and 72 percent believe the U.S. is justified in holding terror suspects without trial.

Exactly, how soon some people forget what a piece of garbage we had for 8 yrs. Every day that goes by, President Bush, by his actions and deeds, is making this easily apparent.

[CWOJackson]

"Well we may have the political impotence, but you have the real type."

Believe me, your impotence is very, very real.

[Texasforever]

Yep, that's another past lie that is coming back to haunt him.

Well you just proved that a person can go lower than a snake's belly.
