#640..Comment?

Well stated Meg. You're 100% correct.

[MEG33]

Thanks onyx.I don't want us to inflict so many wounds that we all bleed to death before we've entered the real battlefield.

[IrishRainy]

You got that right. Keep this country out of the hands of the RATS for as long as possible, and we can work on our differences with Bush as his term unfolds.

[mathluv]

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.

These people sound like O'Reilly. If you don't agree with him, you are wrong. I love the way he expected to beat hellary in book sales. He will not ever consider that people won't buy his book because of his Bush-bashing.

he has turned the tide of Socialism in this country.

The President is trying to undo in small increments what the libs have done the same way, only over the last 60 years. teddy's response is fun to watch. All of a sudden, teddy's HMO building may start coming down. The libs built, brick by brick, and it can be demolished the same way. Some just want the President to use a bulldozer. I like the health savings plan. I wish the drug bill could have more means testing.

He is doing what he campaigned for. That is something else the libs don't like. He does what he says he will do. Can you believe it? A politician does what he campaigns on.

If it is 20%, you and all of us are screwed.

You think insults will bring em back?

Uh they are the first ones to throw the insults. It's their nature. They marginalize themselve with their unwillingness to compromise and then help elect candidates who are 100 times worse than Bush.

[MEG33]

I do think some of us have a basic trust in Bush although not approving his every move or lack of beating the Congress over the head on spending.


I believe in Bush and his cabinet...not for perfection or lack of mistakes,but for their best good judgment about our country's security.I think the military has been magnificent.

[Dane]

Well you have some non-unappeasable conservatives angry.

Any conservative who gets angry about someone saying that their non-support or constant bashing of Bush helps Kerry the liberal democrat, is not a conservative, IMO, but an unappeasable.

It's really that simple. We have two realistic choices, either Bush or Kerry. Your world is never going to be perfect, I know and you know it and you shouldn't get angry when people point that out to you.

I like what he did re: the Pickering recess appointment.

I like what he did re: Kyoto.

I like what he did re: Healthy Forests Initiative.

Those are important things. Big things! Life changing things. Things that will effect us all for years to come. It took great courage to make a stand for those things.

My comment was in response to the following in the orginal article: Other than listening to the demons wail about the deficit, what difference has it made in any of your lives? None. Interest rates have not gone up. To that I said "Eitehr one of two things. For years conservatives were wrong about deficits or the reply in post two is accurate.

You said: ROTFLOL! You people just don't quit with your disinformation do you ..??

But excuse me, during the late 70's and throughout the 80's and into the Bubba years, all we heard was government spending and deficits were the cause of the squeeze on the money supply that cause interest rates to go up. The orginal poster said rates had NOT gone up even as the government has spent $$ and has run a deficit. So why for those 20 years that I can remember was the conservative budget hawk cause that deficits cause interest rates to go up and monetary shortages? Clearly, they are not linked?

Or as the genetleman in post 2 to the original poster replied "As the man falling pst the tenth floor said, "So far, so good." "

So either the deficits and interest rates aren't linked, contrary to the fiscal hawks of the past two or three decades or we're just 10 floors away from a big splat.

Which is it?

[joesbucks]

Sorry, forgot to preface my note in 650 with Good Morning first.

[TigersEye]

Maybe he could toss us a bone and use his Bully Pulpit to make sure the Assault Weapons Ban never reaches his desk....?

You're such a contrarian. Bush said from the start that he supported the AWB.
You don't need an assault weapon anyway.

How about a nice chocolate bar?

A Republican President should spend as much as possible (on conservative goals) so as to cripple the spending ability of later Democratic Presidents who cannot promote their own liberal projects due to high deficits and debt.

BUMP

[William Terrell]

Keep this country out of the hands of the RATS for as long as possible, and we can work on our differences with Bush as his term unfolds.

How, specifically, will we work out our differences with Bush? Refuse to elect him the third time? Send him letters?

[TigersEye]

Did Bill Frist just fire Manuel Miranda for finding the demoflat's plan to use the intelligence committee's findings against Bush by leaking real intel, or did he call the dems on the carpet for it? Don't game me, I told you. Frist fired his chief of staff to placate teddy and the morons. I am betrayed. Manuel is betrayed. And so are we all. We had the real deal in our hands and didn't use it. They sure would have used it on us.

Who is Bill Frist? Who does he work for? Never heard of him.

[MEG33]

Joe,I would answer you if I knew,but I believe its a matter of degrees.I really want to know if my beliefs were valid!

I still remember the Carter,early Reagan years interest rate,good for my savings account bad for my house mortgage I had acquired.

I have gone back to study the National debts.'46 was really bad v GDP and not sure what interest rates were,but I believe they were in the 4 or 5% range.

My first political book was The Conscience of a Conservative. I am not a purist,my way or the highway voter..I am very concerned for our nation if Kerry wins the Presidency.That is a fact.

[TigersEye]

I don't know why people can't see this. The only way to beat the libs is to outspend them. Especially on things like the NEA and Medicare.

May the UN rest in peace.

Amen to that. White House seeks to loan U.N. funds for renovations

[MEG33]

I know my differences with Bush do not amount to a hill of beans when compared to my disdain for John Kerry and my fear for the security of my nation if he is elected.

[TigersEye]

Rush was right on about the Frist thing though. There is just no excuse I can possibly think of for his not standing by his lead staffer.

Some of you people do nothing but bash conservative Republicans over every petty little personal peeve you have. If you don't support the party then find another one.

[MEG33]

He is going to vote for Bush,is voting Republican..read the thread and if you don't know who Frist is ,what are you?
