So you think George W. Bush is not a conservative?

SOTU transcript ^ | 1/22/04

[Keith]

Read my tagline...no new liberal judges.

[carton253]

So, what you are saying is that you wouldn't have voted for Ronald Reagan either?

[RiflemanSharpe]

Actions speak far louder then words.

"He made "conservative" noises when he was campaigning last time around as well. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...."


Yep. Something about not being a nation-builder and not increasing the size of government and being fiscally conservative. Like the 3 of you, he's lost my vote as well until he shows ANY sign of cutting back on his worse-than-Clinton domestic spending and kowtowing to illegal aliens.

[RiflemanSharpe]

Oh well, I tried.

I will vote for George W. Bush, and support him as our president. He is a leader like Joshua, who says "Follow me, while I follow the Lord."

I do not think he is "Failing Miserably", but then I did not know that Dick Gephart had joined this forum.

[Pern]

You call bloating entitlement programs and big government, allowing the 1st to get trampled and rewarding illegal aliens conservative?

Don't forget how his 'conservative' administration castrated the 4th amendment with the so-called 'Patriot Act'.

He has lost my vote

Mine, too. The Constitution Party gets my vote.

[looscnnn]

He said SINCE Reagan. Technically he is correct, Bush has been more conservative than Clinton (not a lot) and more than his dad (on some issues).

[biblewonk]

He earned mine back when he mentioned marriage, abstinance, and 600,000 prisoners being released that need help getting a life.

[Blzbba]

"If a Dem spent money like he did you would be SCREEEEEEEEMING."


total agreement. Many Repubs on this site fail/refuse to hold Bush to the ideals we held Clinton to. Ideals that he obviously failed to uphold.

But, in terms of spending like a Dem, Bush has already outspent Clinton domestically....and in only 3 years. One shudders to think of how much more he'll spend without considering a veto in the next 5 years. That is, if one allows themselves to critically examine the President's policies, rather than blindly following or ignoring all facts that indicate he's no conservative.

[RiflemanSharpe]

The constitution party also now enjoys my patronage.

[ohioWfan]

Your only alternative is Kerry/Dean/Clark/Edwards.

Do you actually believe that you will get MORE CONSERVATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS with any of them??

You guys who threaten not to vote for Bush because he hasn't done enough for YOU need to start to think about the COUNTRY above your own egos!

[Keith]

you are right...actions which are important...Priscilla Owen, Miguel Estrada, Carolyn Kuhl, Janice Rogers Brown, Thomas Pickering, William Pryor...

THESE are the important actions...actions which will have long-term effects decades after Bush has retired...long after Congress has passed or defeated any Bush spending initiatives.

Keep your eye on the prize...

[ohioWfan]

Thanks for helping flush the country down the drain.

[Porterville]

I do not think he is "Failing Miserably", but then I did not know that Dick Gephart had joined this forum.

I think Dicky has joined many forums lately. I think that there maybe many patient disruptors running around trying to undermine this forum.... why not?? It works for Gramschi followers.

[Consort]

If a Dem spent money like he did you would be SCREEEEEEEEMING.

That's because in addition to their spending, we include everything else we don't like about them....their whole socialist agenda.

[LandofLincoln]

blindly following

ENOUGH SAID!

[Ophiucus]

The intellectually honest, fair-minded among us...

Now look what you've done - you've excluded the (Anti)Constitution Party people at the beginning of your thread.

Fair-minded people who claim to be (or to have been) supporters of a president will evaluate the totality of that president's record

That requires a capability of a wider synthesis of thought and being able to grasps complexities of the real world. So now you've eliminated the one-dimensional, single issue only voters....and of course, the (Anti)Constitution Party folks.
