Words are cheap. Federal spending is not.
To: steve-b
Yes there IS a 'rest.'
There is morality and responsibility and justice.
It's not all about I GET TO DO WHATEVER I WANT because I WANT TO.
That's the bottom line of the libertarian agenda.
I'd venture to guess that SOME of you don't like President Bush because he DOES expect personal responsibility and accountability from individuals and the government.......and you want the license to do whatever you feel like doing.

In my case my vote is relatively meaningless. I live in TXMine too, and not relatively. I live in Washington, DC.

More and more people are agreeing. I turned on two coworks to the Constitution Party this week. One said they would think about it, the other said they would give it their vote.

Excellent, and I agree 100%
This President has great vision. What you will not read in the elitist liberal press, and what they refuse to see, is the huge underlying strategy and vision, that President Bush is using in the war on terror. One by one the Nations and leaders who spawn and support terror, are recognizing that they had better change their ways, or they will fall by the wayside, and become a stain in history for all things evil. What will soon become readily apparent to his(President Bush)detractors in the E.U., is that they will become prime beneficiaries of his policy's, though loath to admit. President Bush is working to make the whole world safer, and in doing so, is protecting these United States in the best way possible.
He needs five more years to accomplish the huge chore that God gave him, and I for one, will support him through thick and thin.

You and the other Bush supporters would be better served by trying to figure out what Bush has done to lsoe our votes than attempt to bully us.
Based on the state of things to date we have decided where our votes are going.
Attempting to belittle us and our positions does nothing constructive to convince us we should reconsider.

I believe both sides of this discussion have been asked to drop the Kool Aid accusations.It adds nothing to the argument and tends to inflame rather than inform.

I'm not sure the President is aware of this.

Then we're even. I hate the idea of having to live with your decision.
To: ohioWfan
If evangelical Christians stay home, they are not being true to their faith, and they are being lousy Americans on top of it.
Strange remark. But typical of FR's Bushbot mindset. As usual, no one can possibly own their own votes.
Bush has well over 90% of the support of Republicans.....his BASE.....and he has NOT lost them (us) because of immigration.
You're talking about who they say they support when polled on a phone. Not whether they'll actually turn out and vote for him. Big difference.
In '04, it's going to be turnout, turnout, turnout. And the two parties are focusing on energizing their base, at the expense of swing voters, in a way we haven't seen in a long time.
Personally, I can't imagine turning out to vote for a Dim or someone else in '04. But unless I see a good reason to vote for a conservative local or state candidate, I can't see a good reason to drive into town to vote this year. But that's probably just me. Bush will carry my state regardless since I live in one of the three all-Red states. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the biggest impact in the '04 election in evaluating the stay-at-home vote. It'll be in the defeat of downstream candidates.

"He has an illegal worker program which everyone here misnames/lies amnesty like the Rats."
Really, see post #7 for the facts.
"Please explain how we can get migrant workers to pick our crops without Mexicans??"
First, we are against illegals. You can still have Mexican migrant workers, they just need to come into the country legally. Also, what about putting people on unemployment to work for the time being? Ever hear of machinery, they can help reduce the dependance on migrant workers.
"You ready to sacrifice our farmers???"
How is getting rid of illegals sacrificing our farmers? See the response about migrant workers.

Rifleman, I am grateful for that. I guess I feel better that you won't "stay home." If you can't in good conscience vote for the president, at least go to the polls and help him get a more conservative Congress so that we can get these judges through...

To: steve-b
Get your facts straight, steve. He still has 90% of Republican support, which is extremely high for ANY President, and that was AFTER the immigration policy was announced.
Just for the record, I do not like the amount of spending done, and I'm very skeptical of the immigration proposal, and HATE that he signed CFR.
But I don't require a President to toe my personal line (I didn't with Reagan), and I am not stupid enough to risk having anyone else at the helm when we are at WAR.

I agree with him on 2 issues that I can name right off the bat.
The war on Terrorism
The Tax cuts.
Gun Control (the AWB)
Immigration
Socialist Spending
We are far apart and he will not get my vote unless HE changes.
Yeah yeah yeah spare me, I've heard all of the fear mongering kerry clap trap already and I'm frankly not interested.
Address my concerns Mr President, come down on OUR side more than once in a blue moon and I will then vote for you.
Until then
Good luck
