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

SOTU transcript ^ | 1/22/04

*boo - hoo - hoo

Oh Neets ..

I'm sorry .. I promise to ping you next time .. forgive me???

[onyx]

My sincerest apology. Neets, I am sorry. Won't happen again. Do not even think about resigning from Bush-Bots.

[exmarine]

I have no desire to force you to vote for anyone. But, and this is figuratively and rhetorically speaking, I'm gonna kick the s*** out of you and anyone else who gets on here, attacks my president, and advocates booting him out of office.

Oooh, can you see my knees knocking? You haven't done that well so far. I have a right to speak out against those policies I feel are WRONG. People like you scare me in a way - what is this, some sort of "cult of personality" thing? I don't care if you don't like it - just try and stop me and see how far you get.

[Your Nightmare]

Honestly, I'm thinking we might be better off with a Dem president and a Rep congress. There is something to be said for gridlock.

[ohioWfan]

I'm not launching a personal attack. I'm calling you on yours, and being extremely honest about it.

Please ignore this post.

[Wolfstar]

I had to leave for work at about 8:00am Pacific time, then was busy once I got here. Taking a break now and checking in on this thread. Lively conversaton, but I've lost the flow of it due to the fact that I had to be away for a couple of hours. Oh, to be a "country-club Republican" who didn't have to work for a living. ;-)

[zook]

I'm not trying to stop you. I'm just going to keep pointing out how useless and harmful you are to the cause of conservatism. So far, you've given me a ton of ammo.

[exmarine]

You don't like the father or the son ,which is your right,your opinion is just as important as mine.I hope yours makes you as feel as justified,right and good as mine does.I treasure my right to express it.

Thank you for acknowledgeing MY RIGHT to speak out. This isn't Nazi Germany. By the way, I like George W. personally, I just can't accept his policies. It's that simple.

" I'm typing this from my massive 1 acre estate, Pernland, in S. Louisiana, atop my throne in my 14 x 80 trailer! All hail King Pern!!"


LOL! To quote the character 'Ash', from "Army of Darkness",

Hail to the King, baby!

[zook]

Take a hike over to DU.

[skip2myloo]

"So what if he supported President Bush's unconstitutional Campaign Finance Reform bill?"

Supported it ??

He wrote it - it's known as the McCain-Feingold law.

McCain might have controlled spending with vetos, but he's worked so hard to deny us our rights under the 1st and 2nd Amendments, I worry what he would've done with the rest of the Bill of Rights.

"LOL, you people get more shrill by the minute."

Not shrill at all. The benign neglect and even active (X42) destruction of our national security by the dems would have me wearing a burqua or dead (I choose dead :)).

National security tops my list of priorities. There are no guarantees of total security if President Bush is re-elected, but I'll take my chances with someone who has addressed the issue. The other differences can be sorted out later and party affiliation would be the least of them IMO.

That is your opinion. Quite obviously, there were several on this thread who agreed with me. I am not a lone voice crying in the wilderness, and the dip in Bush's numbers are evidence that people don't like his policies.

[BlackbirdSST]

I do not look forward to your"I told you so" celebration if Bush loses.

Between you me and the FR wall, I wouldn't have it in me to gloat. IMO, there would be little to gloat about. I do believe statements like that (mine) are intended to draw attention to the reality of Politics. If GW wants my Vote it has to be earned, not taken for granted as the recent statements from the head of the RNC. They're meant to counter the "we don't need your insignificant vote anyway", when in fact, going back no further than 2000, my Vote was absolutely necessary since I live in WV.I think WE helped make the difference. In a typical dim State such as this one, I'm certain it had an impact.

I truly fear a Democratic administration and perhaps,Senate,if a Democrat wins the Presidency.

All the petty arguments aside, I don't fear the WH going back dim, as long as we keep the House where the money flows from, and the Senate to keep things in check. I can only call it as I see it, a divided Govt. gets little done. I do think we need to focus on adding more to the Senate majority in order to help that situation.FWIW.

Blackbird.

Don't believe your vote counts, eh? I'd say you're selling this representative republic and its ideals short.

[BJClinton]

who balanced every state budget and pinched pennies like mad

Oh come one, Dean was Gov. during the booming 90s. It was easy to have a balanced budget then. How would he do now?

[Final Authority]

Are you as nuts as Teddy K and Howie Dean? How about CFR, $15 billion to Africans, reinstatement of the so-called assault weapons ban, amnesty to criminal aliens, refusal to defend our borders, spending money like he just won the lottery on stuff the US Constitution doesn't include as policy? He is not my conservative president. He is my liberal president. So he gives lip service to marriage, good for him, but that again is extra-constitutional.

I will not be casting my ballot for a fraud. Hello Kerry and Ms. Clinton, unfortunately.

Regards,

BTW, this is exactly what I write the WH every week.

[Mo1]

I missed that one. Well, I never said that. However, it does ring of truth. The GOP will sit there and say what happened and then realize what happened.

It's kind of hard to miss .. it's been repeated over and over

What your side fails to realize is the damage that the Dems have done huh?

[zook]

"Quite obviously, there were several on this thread who agreed with me. I am not a lone voice crying in the wilderness, and the dip in Bush's numbers are evidence that people don't like his policies."

There are also a lot of DU disruptors who visit here from time to time. In terms of political impact, you're all in the same boat and I treat you all alike.

[BJClinton]

Then the bank...

It's not a bank, a check cashing place or 7-11. And what's CC? Credit card?
