"Bush bashing Liberal enablers"

May I borrow that description, please.

It is EXACTLY what these so-called conservatives are...........

[Colonel Jim]

The symmetry of this data is interesting and disturbing.

"Bush bashing Liberal enablers"

Ooooooooh, that is GOOD. With jim35's permission, we all ought to use it. :)

[F16Fighter]

"A liberal enabler is what you are, if you throw away a vote that could help re-elect GW. If the shoe fits, shove it up your arse, and stop whining like a little girl who was raised by a village."

Jimmy-Boy -- You guys are the ones whining about justifiable dissent. Or shall we merely stick a sock in it as we bow down in shame before the pragmatic GOP gods? That's the way the way the Dems do it...

When Dubya advocates anti-sovereign policies that a Democratic president may as well proposed, he knowingly risks the possibility of political conservatives and constitutionalists leaving him and his political transvestism alone at the far end of the bar.

NO REWARDING ILLEGAL INVADERS WITH AMNESTY!

[potlatch]

LOL, judging by the replies above and below yours, this looks like a 'fun thread'!!

[skeeter]

So you agree with the Barbara Streisand crowd about Reagan being senile while president?

You have an extremely active imagination.

Don't bother messaging me again.

[jim35]

What's so active? You just said that Reagan was retired 2 years into his presidency. Sounds like you're the one with the active imagination, and typical of the B.S. crowd. If you didn't want me messaging you again, you should have ignored my post. I think you insulted Ronald Reagan gratuitously, and I didn't think it was a bit funny. If you don't want criticism for this, post it on the DU, and you'll be applauded.

"...Jimmy-Boy -- You guys are the ones whining about justifiable dissent..."

Whining? Is that what defending the president is, now? Tut wasn't the only king of De Nile. Throwing a temper tantrum over GW not being conservative enough to suit you is where the whining comes from, boyo. And withholding a Republican vote is just gonna make things worse. What if you did get your way? Would you be satisfied if one of the dwarfs was our next CIC?

"...When Dubya advocates anti-sovereign policies that a Democratic president may as well proposed,.."

Look again at Mo1's list of GW's accomplishments, and tell me how many would have been done by a Weasley Clark, or Coward Dean. So, you're gonna reward them, instead of GW? Pure hubris.

[jim35]

"...I'm not suggesting dont vote Bush - see the tagline - but lets get real, his domestic policies are *not* Conservative!..."

Ok. I agree with you about some of his domestic policies, since things like CFR and the education bill are pretty obvious. But he's also conservative on a lot of issues, like his partial birth abortion ban, his support for heterosexual-only marriage, etc. Now I'll admit, he's much less conservative than I wish on domestic spending. He needs a new veto pen. Bush seems to believe that the congress should run domestic spending policies, so he'll basically sign anything. Mostly, I blame our own Republican-run congress for this. Bill Frist comes to mind.

[nopardons]

Frist was Bush's pick and a losuy one; almolst as bad as O'Neil ! :-(

[nopardons]

Sheeeeeeeeeeesh... lousy and almost.

[gatorbait]

Bush has artfully played the "triangulation" game that Clinton played for a while. The problem is this: Bush has a GOP Congress. If he pushes conservative policies, he will gain in the polls. He doesnt need to triangulate! Though we do have some in Congress this applies to, on both sides of the aisle, I think there are two other factors triangularization is meant to be working on and so far, one seems to be neutralised (evidenced by ever more shrill venom) and the other being gradually weaned from its nap with the serpent.

[wardaddy]

I'm not sure what to make of Frist. My dad knew him well and I've met him and Annette is friendly with some of their large brood here locally.

The problem aside from maybe Frist's lack of deering-do is the fact that we have RINO senators to always worry about and pay-off. The Dems only have to worry about Zell or on occasion Breaux.

I just watched a C-Span interview with one of our local yellow dogs....John Seigenthaler about his new book on Polk. Interesting, I see Seigenthaler around in his old Jag and disagree with him on everything but unlike most lefties, he is informed. I think he just let's his old ingrained bias cloud his perspective.

I think W has tried to co-opt what he percieves as popular Dem momentum and try to facilitate something better than if they had the initiative. We don't like it much but given the times and lack of alternatives, we have to be happy in a practical sense.

"Whining? Is that what defending the president is, now?

Throwing a temper tantrum over GW not being conservative enough to suit you is where the whining comes from, boyo.

You are defending the indefensible and encouraging the President and whomever GOP-lites are considering veering left, pandering, or forgetting their obligation to Americans, instead of worrying about how deporting Illegal Invaders looks to Vincente Fox or the Liberal media.

MY allegiance is to America and those ideals set forth by the Founding Fathers as espoused in the Constitution -- NOT GOP-lite, NOR a King.

[nopardons]

I was never a big fan of Frist's becoming Leader and have mostly been proved right. He's a good Senator, I suppose he was a good doctor,but he hasn't the experience, temperament, nor, I suspect the inclination to be the LEADER. We need a DeLay type in the Senate.

No president is perfect.Few here and most assuredly, NOT ONE of the Bushbashers, knows politics well/understand it. But, President Bush is walking a fine line and doing that extremely well! He has NO mandate, his majority in the Senate is NO true majority, and there's so much garbage, inherited from almost a century of Dem malfeasance, he's to be congratulated at how much he has been able to do.

[nopardons]

Emotional, naive, blubbering codswallop!

[wardaddy]

yes...I remember...we were among the few to protest the piling on of Lott and immediate buckling to PC pressure....until Lott himself made himself indefensible by groveling.

Yeah...a DeLay would be nice but alas...there is only one.

We are limited by lack of mandate and clear majority.

Do you think W will do anymore recess appointments?

[F16Fighter]

"Emotional, naive, blubbering codswallop!"

I do hope you've grabbed yourself an adequate amount of peanuts or pretzels this evening.

[nopardons]

Yes, we were in the minority here,but THAT minority was correct and the majority were not.

True about there being only one DeLay. But that's the sort we need and need desperately to be in the Senate too.

As far as I know ( as heard on FNC ) President Bush has been asking ALL of his nominated judges, for a long time now, IF they would accept a recess appointment and AZLL have refused one, for years, except Pickering, who told the president okay, recently and faster than Bob's your Uncle, it was a done deal. So much for all of the moronic carflpwers, here, who without ANY knowledge, as usual, have been cussing the president out, for not doing recess appointments. ;^)

[nopardons]

To eat as I read the hyterical posts? No, the obtuse,emotive, thoughtless posts sicken me. Some here would rather have a Dem as president ( and Dem Houses to boot, from what they say will be their vote preferrance in Nov. ), than President Bush.
