Thank you both. Nothing like a list of accomplishments to quash the bitching, however temporarily.

Yeah but what did he do on his lunch hour huh? Gosh winning two wars in 12 months is NOTHING compared to his betrayal on Campaign finance reform. Passing 2 tax cuts in 30 months with a 3rd on the way, is NOTHING compared to the betrayal of a speech on illegal immigration? Sparing the US economy a conservative 2 trillion dollars in Kyoto accord regulations is NOTHING compared to the 6 billion dollar increase in the department of education bill. The economic rebound that has regained all the losses from the Clinton recession is NOTHING compared to the Medicare reform bill. Actually protecting the sovereignty of the country more than any president after Wilson by actually telling the UN the one world government of the EU to stuff it is NOTHING compared to the betrayal of POSSIBLY re-signing the AWB ban. I want to know what the "real conservative" saviors have been doing for the last 36 months besides running their mouths. Do any of these my-way or the hi-way whiners realize how short a time 36 months is and how many world altering events have transpired in that time? Hell no, THEY WANT HIM IMPEACHED!

"To put it quite simply: we have an election to win; they don't."

The problem is they are campaigning in this election.

[Mo1]

Oh hell .. the don't care who's in office .. they just want to fight

$10 says, if Buchanan was President .. they'd go after him too

[Texasforever]

So, YOU are different. I don't think you are capable of the seeing the irony in your justifications.

[Mo1]

Yeah but what did he do on his lunch hour huh?

Don't know

But I'll bet if Dean was President, he'd be having a few panic attacks

[Sabertooth]

Definitely loses. I gave up supporting somewhere between his first attempt at amnesty and CFR.

Other than Terror and taxes, I lost my enthusiasm for President Bush quite a while ago. I remember what he did during the #187 Campaign in 1994. Despite some trepidations, I was broken glass in 2000, and dragged my daighter to street protests on Bush's behalf during the Florida mess here in L.A., not in Fla.).

Was was quite proud of the President following 9/11, and am pleased overall with the prosecution of the war. However, the President's domestic agenda leaves me cold, for the most part. I want nothing to do with most of it, I think it's bad for the country.

The problem is, a Democrat would be worse.

So, for now, my vote remains Bush's to lose, and I'm getting a big clothes-pin ready for November. Could he lose it? Sure, but I'd have to think long and hard on it. Something rotten would have to happen, though, because I'd vote for him today.

On the other hand, I can't quite go along with those who say "the kool aid's fine, jump in!" I don't trust politicians, any of them. I believe poiwer tends to corrupt. I expect and elect them to do the right things, so I focus on where they don't.

Such is the case with President Bush's "not an Amnesty" Amnesty proposal for Illegals.

The trick now is to get him elected and simultaneously defeat his Amnesty.

If you end up not voting for Bush, that's certainly your prerogative. I'd be the last person to tell you that you owe your voted to a politician. But I suggest you think long and hard about it, and waint until October or November, if necessary, before making the final decision.

Just my two cents.

"How about CONSERVATIVES, since it's their agenda we espouse."

No, that can't be it.

[My2Cents]

Possible result of pandering to criminal aliens?

Don't give yourself so much credit.

[Howlin]

No, they're not. Nobody listens to them except on this web site.

[Mo1]

Thank you both

Ain't nothing

I'm a big fan of Southack's posts ..

[sully777]

"No I've got it now. They are conservative they just want this country to go down the tubes. Thats probably exactly what a Russian conservative would want or a Chinese conservative would want -- for the United States to falter."

You can't be serious about this opinion? Are you kidding? Think about what you are saying in this post: "They are conservative they just want this country to go down the tubes...or the United States to falter..."

In '00, battling the perennial UNAPPEASABLES, I would always end my posts with :

YOU ARE THE ENEMY WITHIN !

It was true then and it's just as true now. There are people, on FR,right now, who say that in states, where President Bush looks like he'll win anyway, they'll leave it blank or vote for someone else. There are nutters, who are going to write in a man's name, who does NOT want them to do so, is supporting the president's re-election, but that doesn't matter a whit to them, and then there are those,who are claiming that they want to " teach the GOP/Bush/the RNC a lesson " ( that damned, useless phrase ! )and hope that a Dem wins. All of that and they imagine that they are Conservatives AND that they understand politics.

THEY'RE BLOODY DELUSIONAL AND THE ENEMY WITHIN !

[My2Cents]

You know, I used to oppose the President's leniency toward illegal aliens. But over the past week or so, having read the drippings of the vehement anti-Bush/anti-immigrationists on FR, I'm thinking of becoming a full-time advocate for Bush's immigration proposal. I'd feel soiled siding with the likes of what I've seen on FR lately.

[Sabertooth]

they are here to divide us.

Is divisiveness bad?

Is divisiveness bad when President Bush is divisive?

You bet ! Jesus the Christ, isn't PURE enough for these people. :-(

"...Then 67% of us on here are ignorant. Maybe some of that remaining 11% are as stupid as we are..."

No comment on that. Sorry, but using a Freep poll to suggest that 67% are on your side is totally disingenuous. Just because a person, like me, is against this immigration idea, doesn't mean that, like you, they are all willing to withhold their vote for our president. Thank God.

[hobson]

LOL! Good one.

[jim35]

The RNC shillers. Oh, boy. Can you even see the deep end from your vantage point, or have you gone too far beyond it?
