Maybe this will help. There are principled conservatives, and there are "principled" conservatives. I am addressing the latter, who find nothing positive with the president, no matter what.
As Nix expected, he was immediately attacked by the anti-Bush contingent, who cloak their hatred of the man in "principles."
You know as well as I that there are certain people on this forum who dislike Bush so much that if he were to abolish the income tax tomorrow they would find fault. Those are the people I am talking about.
To: kitkat
In the FR poll, 81% say they will vote for Bush.
We just have a very loud 19% here, who figure that by yelling loud enough, it will appear there are more of them.
Also notice, that there are 25 people here who voted for Kerry in the poll. NO conservative would ever vote for Kerry. I bet they aren't telling us in their posts that they are Democrats pretending to be conservatives. In other words, I do think, that some of those who are pretending to be rabid conservatives, are actually Democrat plants, "agent provocateurs" -- a well known and frequently used technique of the communists.
And then I suppose we do have some, who really think of themselves as conservatives, being "useful idiots" for the Democrats, allowing themselves to be used by them, to try to prevent Bush's reelection.

I have seen *conservatives* on this board literally threatening to blackmail Bush by threatening to withold their votes if HE doesn't do what THEY want him to. Well, he has done MANY right things and I've not seen an ounce of due respect for the man. He deserves it.
EV, you know darn well he has turned the tide of Socialism in this country. They are spilling out of the rafters like termites. Ted Kennedy has puffed up so much, he has come close to actually exploding a few times. (I'm waiting for that one.)
He has intimidated the UN into darn near silence. Al Quaeda squeaks, but it does not roar like it did when Clinton was in office. When does our PRESIDENT get some credit from the folks who claim to want the best for this country?
His Justice department has taken up OUR interpretation of the Second Amendment for the first time in over a hundred years.
He has gone over Clinton's Executive orders with a fine tooth comb and repealed and repealed. Justice demands fairness. I haven't seen Bush get any from almost anyone.
Surprise of surprises, Neil Boortz, who I would have expected to be a lot more down on the deficit than any of you, actually said that it is a red herring issue.
The UN can't manipulate him, but any dem who got into office would be prime for them, red meat.
Bush went to England and charmed the Brits who were there to hate him.
What DO you want from him?
Now, if anybody, and I mean anybody, has really legitimate grievance against Bush, I certainly haven't seen it. All I've seen are liberal lies repeated in conservative rhetoric, and I wonder why that is? Why can't you see down the road instead of just on the corner where you stand? He has put into place long term programs. This is called Vision. Ronald Reagan had it. Bush has it. When does he get his kudos?

Okay, I can accept that.
But can you acknowledge that the lack of distinction or proportion in many of the slams against 'principled conservatives' really gets on the nerves of many very committed conservative Republicans?
To: .30Carbine
Yes, this thread is the epitome of the Pro-Bush stance on FR
Certainly beats the crap out of stupid "we love gridlock" posts and posters.

You are right. True principled conservatives, like Alan Keyes, are supporting Bush.
Alan Keyes comes out in support of President Bush, denounces Democrats, "our survival is at stake!"
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1071872/posts "KEYES: Oh, I sure do--and I wouldn't want to give the impression that I don't have other problems with this administration on some areas where I think that the president has fallen short of the kinds of things that I really think are needed in some areas.
But I also wouldn't want to give the impression that I think that anything can be more decisive for the American people right now than the question of our national survival in the face of the most insidious threat this nation has ever faced.
In the face of that, I think a lot of us are going to be putting our other issues behind those issues that have to do with the survival of this nation in wartime."

I have seen *conservatives* on this board literally threatening to blackmail Bush by threatening to withold their votes if HE doesn't do what THEY want him to. It's not 'blackmail'. It is sovereign citizens of the United States exercising their franchise the way they see fit. If they don't want to vote for him, they won't...and all the insults you can throw at them are not likely to make them change their minds. Quite the contrary.
You can make all the wonderful points you want about all of the wonderful things the President has accomplished, and they get lost in the clutter of your bad attitude.

Well, we probably should knock off using that term, although it derives from the Bush-bashers
constantly telling us that they are principled and we are not.
In response to your objection, I will start calling them "my way or the highway" types.
To: EternalVigilance
"many very committed conservative Republicans?"
===
"Committed conservative Republicans" don't agitate against Bush.
Those who agitate against Bush, trying to get others to NOT vote for Bush are NOT conservative Republicans.
I hope that helps with the definitions.

Good post Nix. It beats the hell out of the influx of Bircher articles lately.
To: dubyaismypresident
Okay, let's hold hands and sing Kumbayah, allowing the bashers and nay sayers to just take over FR; shall we?A lot of lurkers are afraid to say what I do and are happy that I do talk back!But you think that we should just allow others to say anything, with no refutation.
The Mods and Jim do a good job, but they are swamped. They can't be everywhere and they miss a lot.
Jim has posted, many times recently, that those who support third parties and want President Bush to lose,won't be tolerated here.Some here have ignored his posts.Some have been banned, some have quit, and some are begging to be banned.
To: TheWriterInTexas
Pay off the debt now, so that you aren't throwing thousands of dollars away in interest In saying that, are you not ignoring the time value of money in your own life? To call paying interest "throwing money away" implies that you do not know of a way to deploy money in ways that add value. Therefore you would not pay anything to have it today, as opposed to five years from now.
The concept of interest exists because hardly anyone shares your preference curve in this regard. Most people place a higher value on a dollar today than they do on a dollar five years away. The market rate of interest is a measure of how much more value people place on 'money now' vs 'money then.'
