Bush to wage ideological campaign

Oh please what? How about adressing the facts? Oh, that's right you can't.

[xsmommy]

the facts are that we live in the real world not some fantasy ideal. there is no discussing the real world with idealists, they don't live in it.

[hobbes1]

Actually, i have read a fair amount from their site, but as to taking what Fox says as the Gospel truth, is a little
curious...Fox is a politician, and speaks to the Mexican people. FCOL, Mexico does not have the infrastructure to raise their standards of living to ours at this point in time. U.S. Wages falling in that manner, is not economically possible.


Take some Zoloft.

Uh-huh. And is part of this ideology going to be about illegal immigration?

And if it is, will there actually be a follow through, or another amnesty proposal?

Because on the immigration issue, there isn't much difference between the two, and those of us in border states would like to see some real action. But we won't hold our breath, because it seems like every politician wants to be Vicente Fox's bride.

You know, in none of your replies do you address national security. To me, that is THE priority for this election. I don't agree with President Bush on every issue, but I do believe he places national security at the top of his list, too. Kerry (or any other demo) is not going to represent you half as well as President Bush on any issure and he would gain power at the risk of our national security.

Also, I think you exaggerate at least a little with you 20 to 1 Bush vote count. Where do you reside? I live in No. TX and non-Bush voters are few and far between-thank goodness!

I read it a few weeks ago, make that HIGHLY recommend, if I may.

The polls might disagree, but the Unemployment rate, and Basic Economics does not.And when People start losing their ability to acquire some of the basic goods and services at the prices they currently enjoy, the Polls will change, but then it would be too late wouldn't it....

[Bushiefan]

20 to 1, and you are speaking facts? I live in a democrat state and Bush is ahead in the polls. Dream on. You will wake up in November.

[sinkspur]

I have only found one out of twenty people that plan on voting for him again here locally.

In Texas?

LOL!! You must live along the Texas border.

Bush will carry Texas, overwhelmingly.

[hobbes1]

Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, Tom Ridge, Andrew Card, Gale Norton etc

And these people are in exactly what positions, where their life stance matters? Excepting Card, who is basically a glorified secretary, (Whose real power is in controlling access....) none of those is in any position to affect a thing.

The two positions that are, are DoJ, and HHS, staffed by Ashcroft and Thompson....But I suppose you will find fault with them as well. ( I have over the Ephedra ban, but Tommy is good on the life issue)

[prairiebreeze]

Well Miss Pie, sounds like you intend to throw yourself one heck of a pity party, pull up your pants and stay home.

Tell me, in 2000 while you were grass roots-ing your tootsies to the bone, did you ever once in your wildest dreams imagine the 9-11 attack on this country, the WOT, the tanking of the economy, the anthrax attacks? I thought not. Yet not once in all of your rant do you mention any of these. Eerily like the liberals who'd rather forget about them too, I might add. Instead, you focus on isolationism, and protectionism issues which are rendered entirely moot should we not have a leader up to defending us against the Islamists. But never mind, I forgot you are a principled Purist.

You spit in the face of all the soldiers who suffered and died so that you could have the opportunity to vote. If you are indeed a female Ms. Pie, you spit in the face of the women who went before you in the sufferage movement. Bet they'd roll their eyes and shake their heads at the likes of you in remembering the struggles and peril they endured on your behalf.

Got issues with Bush? You can choose to address them as the rest of us do, like an adult or as a spoiled child. So far, you are solidly in the childs role on this thread.

Sit home, don't vote. You have to be the one to look yourself in the mirror. Just don't have the audacity to come back here and open your mouth to complain even once about anything that the elected winner does. Because Ms. Pie, you no longer will have that right.

She was grass rooting for pat buchanan...even then she was determined to make herself irrelevant to the process.

[Southack]

"ROFLOL, what gall. It's a little late in the day to appeal to the rock ribbed conservative base Bush has been so embarassed to acknowledge the past four years, the base he has given the straight up middle finger to."

You haven't been paying attention, then.
