[Captain Peter Blood]

BUSH TO SEEK BIG BUDGET INCREASE FOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS... Laura Bush plans to announce the request -- for the largest increase in two decades -- on Thursday... Developing...

[The Old Hoosier]

I'm way past the point of bitching about it. I've already been there for weeks now.

[Mulder]

Bob Dole, the tax collector for the welfare state.

What a worthless politician if there ever was one.

He also screwed us over on repealing the AWB in the Senate.

[luvbach1]

He can ask his new Mexican friends for votes.

Can't do that. They are pledged to the Demonrats. In fact, some of them have voted for the Dems already in CA, without benefit of citizenship!

[B4Ranch]

"I have a feeling the GOP is going to try to push Mr. Tancredo out like they did Newt."

Image Ron Paul and Tancredo running the Constitutional Party. That would be a winner for America!

[gatorbait]

The American people returned them to office in 1996. And in 1998. And in 2000. And in 2002.

Yep, huge margins , too. The biggest growth was when? 2002 wasn't it? With the that Anti-Christ Rino heading the ticket. Look,, go vote CP and be a marginal voter.Terry McAuliffe will french kiss you for your principled stands just as the DNC's media readers are enjoying your principled stands.

[gatorbait]

I was responding to a specific point made. You read something into it that wasn't there.

Perhaps so.I'll review it tomorrow.

[The Old Hoosier]

I honestly don't see how I lose anything if Bush loses. Government spending might go down, that's the only danger I see.

[jgrubbs]

so I suggest that you write to Congress and tell them you don't like the idea

When I called my GOP Congressman to complain about all of the unconstitutional pork in the omnibus spending bill, his response was, that he wanted me to know that he got millions of dollars added to the bill for our local economy. He thought I would be happy that we would get the federal dollars to help our local projects. I asked him what constitutional right did he have to take federal tax dollars for local projects.

He acted like he could care less what I thought, he knew that even if me and other conservatives didn't agree with him that he could just replace our votes with all the new recipients of the pork.

[Ingtar]

We have a write in campaign here in Tennessee that I hope gathers some steam. People are writing in Tancredo... one that supports the President in most ways, but not on amnesty for illegals.

[RiflemanSharpe]

And people on this board ask me why I am now supporting the Constitution Party. Here is another reason.

[The Old Hoosier]

What, you're going to condemn the press in one fell swoop, when President Bush has been building his own gallows for months?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Don't you mean demand it, by force of law?

Hey. Don't be so harsh. They are merely confiscating your earinings before they reach your hand. Last year you probably only paid for 40-50 urine-soaked Crucifixes. So what's your beef?

[Mo1]

And under Bush we got an Air Force that could not respond to highjacked airliners which flew over five US military bases before hitting the Towers!

Here is a picture of all the planes that were in the sky on the morning of 9/11

Please do tell me which plane we should have shot down?

[luckydevi]

I know he is not going to veto against his own bill.. talking about other bills

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I honestly don't see how I lose anything if Bush loses. Government spending might go down, that's the only danger I see.

Dear God, you people may as well be liberals. Personally, I like knowing that there is a War on Terror going on, and that it's being executed by a man who is determined to win it. It kinda trumps how I feel about my pocketbook.

[Mo1]

Please don't make me defend Clinton. But Clinton did not ignore the NK nukes, he negotiated a crappy deal and they cheated

A crappy deal yes .. but it also gave him and easy out to ignored the problem

Clinton knew what N. Korea was doing .. he just didn't have the balls to deal with it ..

[redangus]

You are not a conservative, you are a Bush supporter. No true conservative would support the federal government spending taxpayer's money on art of any kind.

[jgrubbs]

I know he is not going to veto against his own bill.. talking about other bills

What other bills? He has gladly signed every spending bill that has crossed his desk in the last four years. Many of them came to his desk at his request. He is the first Republican President to actually create a new federal welfare entitlement program. How much more growth can we stand with his pen for another four years?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Again, we're talking about a few million dollars here. Nothing, in government terms.

And again, you are wrong. If one more border guard is hired, it is a more proper use of federal funds. As long as there are unmet national security needs for "budgetary" reasons -- as we are CONSTANTLY told -- you cannot win this argument.

[Mo1]

Drudge looks as if he is really gunning for Bush lately, what's up with that?

I don't know .. but it's been obvious for some time he doesn't like Bush
