*ping* Durn Fox News is highlighting freepers again. :) 6 posted on 01/27/2004 4:19:51 AM PST by kingu

Conservative discussions on the internet are having an impact. FR is penetrating the media. As it should be in a constitutional Republic. FOX has been perceptive in following the culture and their market share of the viewing audience.

Better to fix this now, rather than ignore it and watch a Dem being sworn into office come January.

I agree. The elected President needs to listen to those who elected him. He's ignoring a good portion of his constituency, and that's a mistake.

[Libertina]

Interesting that FOX quotes comments I did not make. Or perhaps an "over-active" "editor" was on board. But I agree with you - better he know now than later.

Bush isn't king, he is elected. And if the people who helped elect him the first time are getting restless, he better take notice. We don't people like you pretending everything is peachy keen.

Thanks dio. Glad to see there is still some free speech on this site.

[NeoCaveman]

Glad to see there is still some free speech on this site.

I may have been unclear.

The cheerleaders are dangerously anti-dissent.

The president is not served by being told everything is just fine.

[Sabertooth]

I was just using Dean as an example. Clearly Dean isn't doing too well. I'd love to see him as the nominee for obvious reasons.

I wouldn't.

Crappy Democrat candidates give Republicans an excuse to be fat and a little less crappy.

Unfortunately, the Democrats are providing a lot of excuses for 2004.

[Bob J]

The further left the dems lurch, the more disaffected democrats move right.

[JustPiper]

This is a very busy ping issue, if you would like on/off just gimme a holler!

I am getting ready to intensify this issue starting tomorrow with the help of dedicated Freeper's who are giving their all on this issue

[JustPiper]

The "faithful remnant" of "mainstream conservatives" supporting Bush's "conservative policies" is dwindling away!

I did not want Bush to do this. I sent so many emails for months begging them not to do this. The price he may pay listening to Rove. They thought we were blowing smoke and his advisor's knew better. President Bush you should have, I wish you had listened! They thought this would be a non-issue come election. If his conservative base is angry, just imagine how the Dims will use this!

"I left the plantation"

I'm off the plantation too. Had enough and can't take being the massah's boy anymore. I always ridiculed the voting blocks that the socialist party depends on to maintain their power. The repubs have done the same to me for the last time. I am an independant for registration purposes from now on.

[JustPiper]

All it takes is one issue to stir the pot and get attention for other things American's are upset about. They then begin to question the entire administrative policy. I've seen it over and over having been born into a political family. I wanted to impress that on this Administration and I did it the form of begging in my belief of Bush. It fell on deaf ears repeatedly.

[JustPiper]

Bush is a Republican Liberal. His only difference with Liberals in the Democrat wing of the Liberal establishment is that his priorities for Big Government are slightly different from theirs - but with the same goal, complete subservience of Americans to their government and its associated political class.

This has been the greatest disappointment of all! One issue stirs the pot - the domino effect begins!

[JustPiper]

I haven't been happy with his domestic timidity

What about his foreign and space policies? Care more about an unreachable planet 30-40 years from now and not care about 'home'. Phone Home "W" -g-. I think his cabinet , Rice, Powell,Rummy are who made the foreign, military successful. Just my opinion.

[JustPiper]

-hehe- OK

[Map Kernow]

I did not want Bush to do this. I sent so many emails for months begging them not to do this.

Honest to goodness neither did I, JP. I voted for Bush in 2000. Newbie hacks around here act as though I were just lurking around here waiting to jump up and bite Bush in the @$$.

Not so. As much as I supported GW on nearly everything else, when he and the GOP started floating amnesty proposals in 2001, I posted here that Bush would lose my support thereby.

Then he and Rove, after the primary filing deadlines had passed, jumped up and bit ME and millions of my fellows in the you-know-where on January 7.

They thought they'd be facing Dean, and that they'd win re-election in a 1972 or 1984 blow-out, and that as a result they could blow off unhappy conservatives.

But they're going to learn the lesson Daddy Bush learned the hard way in 1992: you don't mess with your base.

[JustPiper]

According to the illegals themselves it means citizenship and more. From DC it is just a matter of time, for all these programs are just a guise for the under handed
" give to's." Give an inch (sneak a foot in that proposal) take a mile ( reclaim CA as Mexico claims), being it won't pass for now we are safe but do you like tittering on the edge like this? Giving our country away step by step?

Focus

Keep the faith and hang in there,
We need you, don’t lose sight.
Your support and yes your vote,
Will make this come out right.
It’s early yet but time moves fast,
So please don’t wait too long.
Let’s pull together once again,
To keep our country strong.
Kerry, Clark, or Howard Dean,
Who knows which one will be.
The one the democrats will pick,
To be their nominee.
The lucky winner gets to run,
A race he must not win.
Yes come November Oh Oh Four,
George Bush it is again!

Most CPAC attendees I spoke with had nothing but praise for Bush regarding the war on terror, but were seriously dismayed at the barrage of new government programs and the massive increase in spending.

That's me, seriously dismayed. And I defy anyone to dismiss me as a one-issue voter, a one-percenter, a fringer, an unappeaseable, an uber-conservative, or whatever the perjorative-du-jour is around here this week. It took me a long time to get to this point, and I didn't put myself here.

Right now I am just NOT motivated to put myself to any trouble, physically or monetarily, for a man who's blowing smoke at me and telling me it's fresh air. And it's not just me, and it's not just on FreeRepublic, and it's not just CPAC attendees. It extends to people who've never gone near a computer or a convention, but have voted Republican all their lives. My father's not donating a dime to the party this year, and my aunt and uncle (VERY liberal Republicans) are fit to be tied about Bush's immigration proposal.

I haven't felt good about Bush since Thanksgiving Day, and that's the truth. He still has my vote at this point, but there also comes a point where I won't be able to do even that-- and now I'm worrying how fast Bush is going to reach it.

[William McKinley]

He's got my vote all the way through the election-- after all with the Democrats we'd get all the crap spending but they'd use the deficit as an excuse to gut national security and defense, plus we'd get another generation of liberal activist judges.

But at this point, my 2008 primary strategy is to hear who Dubya wants, and immediately cross that one off my list.

[hellinahandcart]

With me, it hasn't been one thing, it's been a series of things. It's only January. How many more "things" is he gonna spring on me before November? I can only carry around so many things...
