But it is all about principle, don't you know. The principle of being totally ignorant of the American political landscape.

Actually Dane the ignorant ones are those that keep supporting elected officials that fail to represent those that put them in office to begin with.

One could also safely amke the case that morons are the ones that keep defending those kinds of actions.

The fact of the matter is, had this bone head made these social proposals while running for office he would have lost 40 states, having both Houses of Congress in Republican control.

So let's keep the RINO rant to a rational level?

I am very sad. If I pray for anything, it is that G-d touches Bush's heart and leads him back to Conservatism

Actually, you are looking for Lazamatism. Sorry Laz, Lazamatazism isn't the end all, be all of conservatism, and your petulance in that form of thinking marginalizes you even more.

But what the hey, enjoy helping Kerry and the demos.

If Bush continues, the answer to that question will be "Yes".

Thanks for an honest answer.

Do you mind answering another question? How well do you think a President Kerry or Clinton would prosecute the War on Terror?

It is ALSO our responsibility to let the man who will do the best job of running the nation, KNOW when he is jeopardizing his re-election by making decisions that disappoint his biggest supporters.

Amen.

To paraphrase Eddie Murphy playing Buckwheat: "I usta de his piggest ban."

??? There's gotta be a story behind this.

Like it or not, you are supporting Dean, Kerry and the other Liberals with your support of the President and his LIBERAL social programs.

He is stealing the liberal platform. But it is still a LIBERAL PLATFORM. Clinton was more fiscally restrained that this goober.

IMO, the ignorant ones are the ones who think that helping Kerry and the demos will advance conservatism.

Kerry would do reasonably well, but not as well as Dubya, and Hillary Clinton would be an unmitigated disaster.

LOL! Dean would have signed tax cuts or a partial birth abortion ban. It is funny and sad at the same time the isolation you all live in.

Admit it. You only used the word "petulance" because when I used it earlier, you looked it up on Dictionary.com.

Before you suggest, why don't you find out if it's true? Call Tancredo and ask him if the big bad wolf is after him.

But nooooo.... it's to fun to come on to Free Republic and scare conservatives by telling scary stories about your own personal bogey man - Karl Rove!

I am willing to sacrifice 4 or 8 years of a Democrat in the White House if it means a rededication to conservative principles by our elected Republicans down the road.

well, some people here take conservative principles seriously, and some don't. In the grand scheme of things this in minor, I agree. There has been a lot worse...

Please I would like to hear an explanation of that.

It seems that no liberal act by Bush will get an objection from you. Increasing funding for the filthy anti-American piece of phflegm NEA is reprehensible - no two ways about it.

Did you also read the other little tidbit this morning? Illegal alien influx has increased by 15% since Bush came out with his insane amnesty proposal.

What does Bush have to do for you to object to his horrible policies?

YOu're right. The place took a sudden turn for the worse once the RINOS took over.

Nah you will just watch it slide even further to the left with a Kerry Presidency. Like it or not, you are helping Kerry and the dems with such an attitude.

Do you understand, Wurlitzer? Vote for the neo-liberal RINO Bush, or we might get the neo-liberal DINO Kerry.

I'm going to vote only for people I respect, like, and mostly agree with.
Period.

And no amount of yammering will ever change that.


I could not agree more, If I only rooted for people who will win I would not be a Red Sox fan.

If you can justify state spending on arts, you can justify state spending on nearly anything.
