Seems that you are the one who is over doing it.

You're the one who suggested you were being knifed in the back, and were just a smidge away from being booted for your opinions.

And I'm not? And I wasn't? Hooray for freedom!!!! long sigh of relief......

[arasina]

Hey, Sugar! That was such a thoughtful response! By the way, you have some toilet paper sticking to your shoes.

I have not noted one partisan on this board who would vote for Kerry if he were a Republican.Of course ,Kerry's record is worse than the worst Rino on National Security votes,so you are simply insulting Bush supporters.Bring It On.

Your photo?

Regarding your tag line, does Tancredo endorse his promotion for President?

And what's Tancredo's proposal on immigration? I've heard it's only slightly tougher than Bush's proposal.

Historically about every 50 years or so the major parties get a shakeup in this country....It is past time for a shakeup - the Democratic party is imploding and the GOP is moving farther left every year to take their place. The future belongs to the LP and the CP.

And how many presidents were elected from any of these other parties since the Civil War? And how many legislators in this country are from the LP or the CP now?

[Tamzee]

What's up with the vile pic? Is this your idea of intelligent political debate?

No wonder you yearn after third parties...

It was Sam Francis, and he borrowed it from a British wit who was speaking of their 'conservative' party.

Let's just be blunt: The North Koreans would love to see John Kerry win the election. The mullahs of Iran would love it. The Syrian Baathists would sigh with relief. Every enemy of America would take great satisfaction if the electorate rejects the Bush doctrine and scuttles back to hide under the U.N. Security Council's table. It's a hard question, but the right one: Which candidate does our enemy want to lose? George W. Bush.

I noticed that you forgot the #1 enemy of the US, Saudi Arabia. Did you forgot that they financed, provided the ideology of hate, and the jihadists that destroyed WTC with 3000 innocent Americans. This Iraq thing is a diversion from our real enemy.

Faith and patience is what I counsel. Sometimes progress is only possible from within the system. Often, progress is hard to discern at the moment and is only seen in hindsight.

People living in historical times often don't realize it.

Tell me, if the Republicans weren't lying to the country they would be acting like Republicans should act, and they shouldn't be angry at their base for stating the obvious.

You are not the base. The base of the Republican party is Republican voters. You are the right fringe.

swampfox98 anounces he will not vote for Republicans 3 years ago

Because of Bush's immigration policy, and his pandering to co-President Fox, here is one Ohioian who will never vote Republican again. During the election fiasco, I marched in Cincinnati with fellow Freepers calling for Bush to be recognized as our President; wish now I hadn't.

Taxcuts, PBA ban, and killing terrorists have not changed your opinion. You are a one issue anti-immigration conservative. You are not the base. We will get by without your vote somehow.

However, neither the Ideal Reagan nor the Actual Reagan would have issued a second amnesty after 15 years of seeing the destructive results of the first one-time only amnesty.
...If Ronald Reagan said it, it was true.

“I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don’t know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get there. That’s how I saw it, and see it still.” Reagan's Farewell Address to the Nation, January 11, 1989

Reagan passed amnesty for illegal aliens in 1986 yet 3 years later he sounds like he still believes all men are created equal. I don't think you know very much about Ronald Reagan.

Frankly, I don't see a dime's worth of difference in democrats like Kerry, McAuliffe, Gore, Clinton and the 'principled' conservatives. They all proclaim their "patriotism" out of one side of their mouth while deliberately distorting the President's every action out of the other side. Should one or both succeed the end result is the same... a democrat in the White House and an open invitaton to every murdering, bloodthirsty terrorist around the world. So there is zero difference.

Well said and worth repeating.
