Conservative groups break with Republican leadership

National leaders of six conservative organizations yesterday broke with the Republican majorities in the House and Senate, accusing them of spending like "drunken sailors," and had some strong words for President Bush as well...

[dts32041]

Exactly! That is what these guys were voted in for. Does anyone out there think during Bush's second term(if it happens) he will not right the Supreme Court when given the opportunity? Does anyone think he will not install Conservative judges wherever he can?

Nope, it will be the same same, trying to get teddy to give him his old girlfriend list, saying the feds have take over more schools and get more people up from Mexico.

WE got a tax cut and we got the largest increase in federal spending.

Once bite twice shy.

[sauropod]

I see. And you have assumed the mantle of what is and is not acceptable around here?

[normy]

No way man! I am arguing for it.

[eskimo]

Well, he's radically Liberal, but thanks for taking a half hearted stab at it.

Nice try at avoiding my question but that only means you do not consider the GOP to be conservative. That is exactly what I expected.

[MEG33]

Bush gets plenty of criticism on FR.Why must you be so hostile to people who will vote for Bush even though they have problems with some of his policies?

I don't lick his boots.I don't think he's perfect.I think this immigration thing is only good because it gets the dialog going and shows where America is on this question.Really upset!

I trust him as President and believe he is an honorable man.I sure as heck don't trust the dems.

[sauropod]

Isn't this just a "wish-list?"

I see nothing that sez Bush will do this.

[jgrubbs]

They aren't my Conservatives. They're the linguine spined Republicans that can't stand up and fight for what's right for American's, when Bush sends Liberal proposals to them. Like I said, the Republicans in Congress let the Democrats run roughshod over everything, basically watering down the proposals into Liberal ideals.

They don't have much watering down to do to make Bush's proposals into Liberal ideals.

You were the one who came off as not knowing who Howard Dean was, I was merely giving you an education, free of charge.

[Columbine]

Can't stand the heat newbie?

Now there's an intelligent comment. NOT! Guess if you don't have anything to say then you just make personal attacks.

Stuff it!

[normy]

If thats how you view Bush you are right in line with my very liberal, activist cousin who does nothing but try to convince me Bush is a lying cheat and I do noy buy it. I guess you and Danny Glover see it but I am just blinded.

[King Black Robe]

Well, I can only tell you how it looks to me. What I see is their frustration at Bush (and only sometimes on that) and other moderate Republicans. They really aren't saying anything different than, say, the WSJ says frequently. The big difference is their plan to manifest their frustrations at the voting booth. Having only recently moved to this infant party, I would think they could be persuaded by friends to, if not rejoin the Republicans, at least extend their support when the vote is close and the stakes are vital. It might be something they do at the very last minute in the voting booth. Why kill the chance by chasing them out?

[sauropod]

Grow up.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Like Teddy's education bill that Bush gets raked over the coals by Ted Kennedy merely because Bush signed it into law?

Personally I don't see where Kennedy should be griping for it's passage. Afterall, he should be griping that it was an abject failure to begin with.

[Columbine]

With all due respect, if malcontents are so wishy washy in their convictions that they change their votes based on someone being rude to them on a political forum their votes can't be counted on by any candidate or party.

[eskimo]

You were the one who came off as not knowing who Howard Dean was, I was merely giving you an education, free of charge.

That's gibberish. An obvious distraction you've thrown because you do not wish to answer my question in #123.

[normy]

False premise, even though Dubya's steel tariffs were an ineffective, pandering sham riddled with loopholes and exemptions.

Please dont do as the liberals, do convince me! Dont just make a statement but tell me why you think this. Try to convince me. I assume that is what is going on here right? You want to convince me, I want to convince you.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I disagreed with you, that still does not make me disrespectful in the way I observe you.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I did, but if you didn't like the answer I gave you, thats because you didn't give me viable choices to begin with. Not my fault you didn't include the choice that Dean is a liberal.

[CWOJackson]

Wow, this looks like old patsy week at the pat buchanan retirement home for the politically inept.
