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

SOTU transcript ^ | 1/22/04

[Howlin]

How could I cost Republicans an election if I was never going to vote for them?

Let's try it the Romper Room way and maybe you'll get it.

If my mother and father in law are going to vote Democratic, and because my husband and I don't like every single thing Bush has done we sit home, who wins?

[Dane]

Either vote for him or don't vote for him; but TRY to stop acting like you all have the market cornered on principles and morals

Oh come on Howlin, their superiority complex is the drug that gets them through their day. Kinda of like Hillary, except it's on the fringe right side of the political spectrum.

[Stew Padasso]

Just curious, does anyone know why this thread was pulled:

Announcing Constitution Party Presidential Candidate Michael A. Peroutka

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1062435/posts

No reason was given and it started to approach 400 posts before someone yanked it.

[exmarine]

If he has 90% of his base, those who get upset when somebody discusses not voting for him should chill out.

Exactly. Besides, where does that number come from? I have seen his approval ratings drop 10% in 30 days, and conservative talk shows (Rush, etc.) are swamped with calls from hopping mad conservatives over Bush's spending and immigration policies. The Bush people are seriously underestimating how mad people are over this immigration thing. A Super-majority of Americans want the borders CONTROLLED - and NOW.

[MeekOneGOP]

Great post and pic of Dubya, there !! ...

[Mo1]

GWB has moved to far to the left to enjoy my support anymore. Sorry this is how I see it

And who do you think could do a better job???

[Sabertooth]

I'm voting for President Bush.

I'm offering intellectual honesty.

If there is a business I like to patronize, but the owner of that establishment alienates enough other customers that he goes out of business, whose fault is the bankruptcy?

Should I rail at the lost customers?

How are the goals of conservatism advanced if the President does things that cost more votes than are gained?

Even if President Bush is reelected, and even if his Amnesty proposal for Illegals depresses turnout by only a few hundred thousand nationwide, that will cost GOP seats at all levels.

How will this advance the WoT? How will this help turn back judicial activism?

If there's a leak in the coalition, is your time better spent resenting the water, or convincing President Bush not to continue poking holes in the hull?

[Land of the Free 04]

I missed the part about spending cuts. Without them, tax cuts just pass the bill to our children and grandchildren.

[Pippin]

Bush still has MY vote! :O)

[m1-lightning]

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

Tom Tancredo supports prescription drug benefits under medicare. Tom Tancredo supports union leaders spending their members' mandatory dues to support a candidate in which the members don't agree with. You call that conservative?

You can write in Tancredo but it will get little attention. If you want something done about the illegal aliens, you need to harrass Tom Delay to bring HR 2671 to the floor for a vote. If it takes a petition, then so do it. Writing in Tom Tancredo is not activism. It is nonsense blabbing about it just to prove a point and will get little attention on the hill.

[Howlin]

the GOP isn't TRUELY conservative

That's why it's called the Republican Party and not the Conservative Party.

[RiflemanSharpe]

I agree with you . GWB needs to go away
To be replaced by Kerry or Clark, correct?


How about replaced by a true social and iscal conservative, instead of a TX RINO.

[N3WBI3]

I refuse to be treated by the Republican party like African Americans are treated by the democrats! I am done with them handing me a populist on a spending spree and saying 'well who else you going to vote for'

one by one bush is pushing conservatives away

[Protagoras]

LOL! Every poll since 9/11 has shown a consistent 90% or higher support of Republicans for President Bush INCLUDING those taken after the immigration policy was announced.

Which of course is different than what was stated. You really ought to get your reading comprehension straight.

[Texas Federalist]

A vote for anyone but George W. Bush for president in 2004 strengthens Al Qaeda.

Did you take that argument straight from "1984", or did you come up with that yourself?

[Bikers4Bush]

Never once have I said anywhere that I am unhappy with how he has handled the WOT or the increase in military spending so get that straight.

[looscnnn]

"You just repeated GW's worker program since he is trying to bring them in the country "legally." "

Really, how can you bring them into the country legally if they are already here? Hmmmmm. That is kinda like "we broke the speed of light, but we did not move".

"Machinery will not pick many of the crops and is far too expensive to run."

Really, which crops? Can you justify that statement?

"You going to go off unemployment to work in the fields, what planet???"

Did I say that they were given an option to do so? The government could make it a requirement that after so long on unemployment, you will have to work for farmers until you are able to find a different job. This would light a fire under people to get a job.

"How do you really have agriculture w/o migrant Mexicans??"

I know of farmers that do not have any migrant workers, they are doing just fine.

"Nice try, thanks for playing."

No, thank you for playing. Your consolation prize is in the mail.

[Mo1]

and conservative talk shows (Rush, etc.) are swamped with calls from hopping mad conservatives over Bush's spending and immigration policies

And we know these calls are all from conservative how?

[Bikers4Bush]

Aaaah, more fear mongering. How nice.

[Dane]

GWB has moved to far to the left to enjoy my support anymore. Sorry this is how I see it

Fine don't let the door hit you on the way out to the place 99% of American don't know or even care about.
