VANITY: The best way to keep America a sovereign free nation is to keep the Democrats out of power!

Free Republic

[Jim Robinson]

Will Bush solve the illegal immigration problem? Probably not. But neither will Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Hillary. Chances are, they'd make it worse. Probably far worse.

Will Bush solve the government spending problem? Probably not. But neither will Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Hillary. Chances are, they'd make it worse. Probably far worse.

Will Bush solve the campaign finance problem? Probably not. But neither will Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Hillary. Chances are, they'd make it worse. Probably far worse.

Will Bush solve the drug war problem? Probably not. But neither will Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Hillary. Chances are, they'd make it worse. Probably far worse.

Will Bush solve the nation's education problems? Probably not. But neither will Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Hillary. Chances are, they'd make it worse. Probably far worse.

Will Bush solve the so-called healthcare problems? Probably not. But neither will Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Hillary. Chances are, they'd make it worse. Probably far worse.

Will Bush solve the so-called environmental problems? Probably not. But neither will Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Hillary. Chances are, they'd make it worse. Probably far worse.

Will Bush solve the social security problems? Probably not. But neither will Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Hillary. Chances are, they'd make it worse. Probably far worse.

Will Bush solve the medicare problems? Probably not. But neither will Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Hillary. Chances are, they'd make it worse. Probably far worse.

Will Bush defend America from those bent on destroying her? You'd better bet your sweet bippy he will.

Will any of the Democrats defend America? Hell no they won't. They'd rather turn us over to the U.N. They'd surrender to the French Foreign Legion if given the chance.

Will Bush appoint conservative judges? Yup!

Will Kerry, Edwards, Clark, Hillary, et al, appoint conservative judges? Yeah, right. And hell will freeze over tomorrow.

Will Bush continue reducing taxes? Yup.

Will Kerry, Edwards, Clark, Hillary, et al, raise your taxes as soon as they possibly can if given the opportunity and continue raising them until hell freezes over? Yup.

Will Bush defend the right to life? Check

Will Bush defend marriage between a man a woman? Check

Will Bush defend the right to keep and bear arms? Check

Will Bush say no to Kyoto? Check.

Will Bush say no to a world court? Check.

Will Bush say no to the U.N.? Check.

Will Kerry, Edwards, Clark, Hillary, et al, remove our national sovereignty and subjugate America to world government? Just as quickly as they possibly can if given the opportunity.

Will any other person be elected to the Presidency in 2004 other than Bush (God willing) or a Democrat? Obviously not.

Doesn't make a lick of sense to me to allow the America hating, freedom hating Democrats back into power now that we've kicked them out.

Say yes to sovereignty for America and continued freedom for all Americans.

Say no to the RATS!!

[George W. Bush]

...it took some 50+ years to get a GOP POTUS with a GOP Congress, and then when we finally achieve this monumental accomplishment, conservatives feel like they've been sold down the river, then told by Dubyuh supporters, "Screw you, you've got no choice but to support Dubyuh!!"

Well, if we conservatives are W.'s back-stairs woman, he'll at least be able to say truthfully, "I did not have sex with that woman".

Heh-heh. Hope that's not too convoluted a bit of humor...

Great post.

"I've seen more and more of the RAT candidates fer POTUS claiming to be fiscal conservatives (i.e. Dean, Kerry, Clark), and I ain't about to fall fer it. "


Nor should you:

"State of Union Speech's Price Tag Lowest in Five Years, Line-by-Line Analysis Finds"
President Bush outlined items whose enactment would increase federal spending by a net of $13.6 billion per year, a fraction of the $51.9 billion in annual spending hikes he proposed in 2003 or the $106.6 billion in 2002. This overall level is the lowest NTUF has recorded among the five most recent State of the Union speeches. Bill Clinton claimed the biggest yearly spending boost, in his 1999 speech ($305 billion)

"Still, by outspending Clinton and the DemonRAT-controlled Congress of '93-'94, Dubyuh's let down his guard and muddied the electoral waters enuff"

Okay, but discerning conservatives should not fall for this comparison as an apples-to-apples one.
The simple fact is that Clinton's low spending increases occured as the "peace dividend" of CUTS IN THE MILITARY.
In fact, remember when Clinton boasted of cutting the number of people in Govt? It was all in the DoD and armed services. Bush had a WAR ON AS OF 9/11/2001! It's a different situation, and called for a different response.

"And I've gotta believe that we could achieve Homeland Security without breaking the bank as well. Lord knows that in a $2.3 Trillion budget, there's loads and loads of fat to be trimmed, and we oughtta be making said trimming more of a priority!!"

I agree 100%! I think the spending is too high, and we could easily cut the share of Federal spending relative to GDP to 15% or less - we could and should cut spending, or at least cap it to 0% total growth for a decade...

btw on "amnesty" - now that the Democrats are fully behind REAL AMNESTY it behooves us not to be fooled into thinking the Bush plan is the same as that. And we should also realize that the "pro-amnesty" position is now the Democrat position, and that "pro-enforce-the-law" position is the one held by most Republicans ... Kerry supports "an earned legalization program for undocumented immigrants" hmmm.

ROFL...

"Hope that's not too convoluted a bit of humor..."

Not at all...to take the analogy a little further, the GOP's back-stair woman ain't puttin' out no mo' unless "our man" gives us a li'l respect vis a vis domestic spending!!

Agreed. They have to respect us in the morning.

"...we could easily cut the share of Federal spending relative to GDP to 15% or less - we could and should cut spending, or at least cap it to 0% total growth for a decade..."

Now yer speaking to my heart!! I've said before that we oughtta be closely tracking spending as a percentage of GDP and look to knock it down 1% a year as long as it takes to get us down to 15%, 12%, 8% (as low as we can politically take it). By doing so, we would guarantee record GDP growth for as long as we continued to shrink the Fed's negative impact on the economy, and it would force the Fed to prioritize exactly what we should be spending the taxpayer's money on.

That reminds me of a song...

"Keep OUR Votes to Ourselves!!"
(To be sung to the Georgia Satellites' "Keep Yer Hands to Yerself")

We gotta little change in the offin'...gonna fight fer the RightWing...
Gonna call you on the telephone, Dubyuh...fer the Right we shall sing!!
'Cuz each time Right votes, we get the same old thing...

We say, "Don't feed US no lies...we'll keep our votes to ourselves!!"

Now, Dubyuh and the RINOs, why you wanna treat US this way?!
Bush, Right's still yers to employ...DemonRATS can't feel our pain!!
Righteous shall remake history...yer The Man of the Hour!!
Right says, "Slash spending, cut Guv'ment...if you wanna stay in Power!!"
Now Dubyuh, our Nation, don't put our trust upon no shelf...
Right says, "Don't feed US no lies...or we'll keep our votes to ourselves!!"

(ConservativeMusician workin' the axe!!...MUD on harp...)

C'mon, Dubyuh, let's go.........oh yeah!!

Ya see, Right wants it real bad and Left's about to give in...
Now's when we start a'talkin' 'bout less pork...make our Guv'ment more Slim!!
Right says, "Dubyuh, we'll support ya fer the rest of our lives!!"
We said, "Big Guv'ment's fer sissies...don't you make it yer life!!"
Now Dubyuh, now Congress, don't put our trust upon no shelf!!

That analogy is close GW, but sorry, NO cigar...Aieee, I can't believe I went there...

[Jim Robinson]

Those who bailout and allow the Democrats (ie, the Marxist left) to regain power when they know exactly what they will do with it are the ones surrendering to the left.

So, according to Jim's thesis, it's strictly ideology vis-a-vis the philosophy of public policies that are best for our people. His piece is a very, extremely weak reed on which to support a basis for voting for the president's reelection. It is an admission that the current administration, in its headlong rush to give every possible accomdation to the insurance, banking, investment, pharmetceutical and other commercial interests, it has abandoned the lofty priciples of the 2000 campaign. Jim Robinson essentially acknowlwdgws that White House, under the command of Karl Rove, has ceded effective control of domestic and tax policies to the battalion of corporate lobbyists who write the checks that prop up the party.

[Jim Robinson]

Well, the judges appointed by the left are definitely liberal activists. I sincerly doubt that GWB will be appointing liberal activists.

[WOSG]

"Now yer speaking to my heart!! I've said before that we oughtta be closely tracking spending as a percentage of GDP and look to knock it down 1% a year as long as it takes to get us down to 15%, 12%, 8% ..."

Then take a look at this - Bush in his rado address today is proposing the spending limit mechanism whereby this might happen:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1069034/posts?page=12#12

My suggested "Cap" would be this: Total Federal discretionary spending rises only the rate of inflation, until federal spending is less than 15% of GDP.
Total non-discretionary spending is also capped at inflation+population of recipients and they force some mechanisms in place if it grows too fast (eg if health care costs go up to much, cut back on some things).

[George W. Bush]

No problem with that. I did the same. I get letters asking for money from RNC and NSRC. This month I sent letters back not with money but telling them they need to clean up their act on spending and on immigration if they want my money.

Excellent! If only more people would do exactly the same.

Check the latest Novak column - they are listening! Its why Bush is proposing 0.5% discretionary spending increase instead of 4%. It was exactly the point I've made in communications to them!

Without the current stink from the conservatives, we would have had that 4% increase, if not more.

Rove had better not hold his breath waiting for us to applaud this 'mere' 0.5% discretionary increase. After last year's spending and the huge new Pill Bill, I expect cuts to offset this wild spending.

Start with the NEA and the Departments of Education and Labor. They've had plenty of increases under a GOP Congress already.

I'm looking for cuts. Lower spending, less government. The classic Reagan conservative agenda.

[Miss Marple]

Midddie, the Republicans get more of their money from small donations of individuals than do the democrats. Your accusations sound disturbingly like Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards.

[Jim Robinson]

I like the Republicans (most of them). I can live with them. I cannot stand the abortionist/homosexualist/gun-grabbing/America-hating/God-hating Democrats. Kennedy, Boxer, Hillary, Gore, Clinton, Gephardt, Dean, Daschle, Kucinich, Pelosi, Harkins, Feinstein, Lieberman, Schumer, et al, make my blood boil.

Hope that answers your question.

[WOSG]

Midddie, the Republicans get more of their money from small donations of individuals than do the democrats. Your accusations sound disturbingly like Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards."

Yes they do.

Moreover, the line "it [Bush] has abandoned the lofty priciples of the 2000 campaign." has been refuted many many times.

Bush said he would sign the ban on partial birth abortions - he did that.
Bush said he opposed Kyoto - he did that.
Bush said he supported more military spending - he did that.
Bush said he supported tax cuts that reduced the marriage penalty, increased child tax credits, and encouraged economic growth - he did all these things, and proposed even more in tax reductions.
Bush supported a drug benefit in Medicare - he passed it.
Bush supported literacy standards in NCLB act - he signed it.
Bush said his favorite justice was Scalia, and his nominees have been good judges who interpret the law not activist judges.

etc.

Everything Bush has done - conservative things and not-so-conservative things - have been consistent with his 2000 campaign and message.
