If you haven't seen the bloated egos on this forum, you haven't been reading very carefully.

The bottom line is your demands that he do what YOU want on every issue, IF they result in your staying home in November, or throwing your vote away, you are risking.....deliberately.....giving this country back to the dems who don't give a RIP about this country.

Conversely, your bottom line is your demand that everyone vote for President Bush, no matter what.

No one owes any politician or party their vote. The votes need to be earned, and it's up to each individual voter to decide the price.

Some issues are intrinsically divisive, and cost votes. When politicians do things that cost themselves enough votes that they aren't reelected, the responsibility for the lost votes and elections is theirs.

That's political reality, and won't change, no matter how you fight it.

So, if President Bush were to squander enough votes that a Democrat is elected, it would be him, not the voters he failed, who is responsible.

NO. I am not demanding that anyone vote for President Bush.

I am just asking for intellectual honesty.

If you DON'T vote for him, your vote is in essence cast for the Democrat, and you should admit that.

You don't have to like it, but it is the reality of the situation.

And once again, he has not 'squandered' votes of his base. He still has 90% of his base.

And I would ask you the same question as Howlin has asked others.

How would putting a Democrat in the Oval Office further YOUR goals, Sabertooth?

If judges insist on forcing their arbitrary will upon the people, the only alternative left to the people would be the constitutional process. Our nation must defend the sanctity of marriage.

You couldn't have said it better. W should have beaten Gore by 7% minimum, but he squander enough to turn the election into a squeaker. Problem was that the RNC is a sellout crowd. They gave us W, we had no choice. They had and have 'Democrats' in the GOP. One of which is McCain, who pushed the RNC agenda in the 'debating'.

Plain and simple we are riddled throughout with partisan politicians who don't give a hoot for the constitution. What it says means nothing but it couldn't have been written any clearer.

W's suggesting going the constitutional process to me does not mean rewriting it. We have a process and it's called impeachment .

Firstly, a program should be initiated to cleanse our Judicial of 'partisan' gone a muck judges. This would be a noble undertaking by the House Republicans. It should be done enmass, as these judges are destroying America as we speak.

Who are these people? For starters, 6 of the 7 Florida Supreme judges who assisted in the attempt to steal the national election. The 3 circuit judges who tried to derail California's recall election. Sandra Day O'Connor, who must just have gone 'senile', for defying the 'constitution' in the 'sodomy' and 'Michigan' decisions.

I would include the two Federal judges that just 'stayed' the newly signed law on PBA. IMO, it's now the law of the land until proven otherwise, not the other way around.

W is on very thin ice with his disregard of the constitution by signing McCain/Feingold. His chummy patronizing of Ted Kennedy and the Islamists lobby in the US could make Republicans sick and stay at home come Nov 8th..
