Some Key Conservatives Uneasy About Bush

The Herald (Miami) ^ | Jul. 11, 2004 | SCOTT LINDLAW

[Bombard]

I as a conservative have an anger simmering but no against the President. When I see a bunch of Hollywood lefties rudely attacking a good man like George W. Bush I get really mad and want to hurt some lefty but sanity takes over and my resolve to vote for W is even stronger. I think we can expect to see more of this in the press and as usual it is a going to be BS. BUSH 2004!!! Because We Must!!!!!

[Petronski]

Thanks for the analysis...glad you posted it.

[rwfromkansas]

No.

[onyx]

I knew she'd see it.




She? ROTFL!
And has "she" seen it?
You don't KNOW any such thing.
Slamming others behind their backs is your MO,
and you're notorious for it.

[NittanyLion]

Feel free to point out some instances of me "slamming others behind their back".

Incidentally, at least I (unlike you) don't run to another forum to attack others.

FO: if I mistook your gender for female when you're in fact male, my apologies.

[onyx]

Be careful.
That other forum would be?

[hgro]

Are you sure this guy Halper isn't on John/john payroll? If not he ought to apply since he is trying to sel the dimocrat line.

[NittanyLion]

You don't remember calling a well-known FR poster an "obtuse twit" on Liberty Post?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume someone else is using your moniker at that site. Is that the case?

[onyx]

You stalking me?
Interesting. NOT surprising.
Be careful.

[NittanyLion]

You stalking me? Interesting. NOT surprising. Be careful.

You're the one who singled me out on this thread. However, you craven attack on LP prompted me to make the first comment there in over a year. It stuck out in my mind as an absolutely pathetic display of cowardly behavior.

Be careful yourself.

Re: "If the conservatives have any brains they'll RUN to vote for GWB abd the GOP and give GWB the senate he needs to BE CONSERVATIVE"

Your logic falls apart for the poor people in Pennsylvania. Toomey would have made a great Senator, but Bush backed Spector. Lord have mercy what was he thinking? Spector is the very definition of RINO. He is a Trojan horse. I hope Spector looses. At least in six years there is a chance the GOP can win back the seat with a real Republican. We will never see an improvement in the Supreme Court if Spector has any power.

Spector sounds like a character name in a Bond film. His votes reflect that image as well.

[Penner]

Some Republicans fear angry conservatives will stay home in November, undercutting Bush's re-election bid.

If true, it won't be for the reasons touted by this out-of-touch inside-the-beltway moron.

[onyx]

I spotted your notorious behavior on this thread.
I did not single you out.
You're notorious for smarmy "attacks."
All you had to do, (and what you should
have done) was to ping Fair Opinion.

Mention another poster's name, and you ping
that poster, be it praise or not. It's
common courtesy. Learn some.

[NittanyLion]

Mention another poster's name, and you ping that poster, be it praise or not.

In retrospect, you're right.

FO: I should've cc'd you and I didn't. I was wrong, and it won't happen again.

onyx: feel free to substantiate your ill-considered claim that this is a common tactic of mine, or to show where I've stalked you.

Re: "Any so called "conservative" that changes their vote away from Bush because of irritation over a post at FR"

Who are you suggesting is doing this? Not I. I hope Bush beats Kerry like a redheaded stepchild. That being said I have been harboring doubts about the GOP (including Bush) commitment to issues such as abortion, illegal immigration, school vouchers etc. I have been harboring those doubts for years now. I had hoped I could get thoughtful views expressed on this thread, just like I had hoped GOP control of the White House and Congress would give results in these areas. I hope in vain?

So far this thread has been populated with chest thumpers yelling "BUSH GOOD KERRY BAD"

Maybe if people stopped the knuckle dragging they could type out a sensible post. Some here have made as much sense as the Demoncratic Underground. This is FREE REPUBLIC for goodness sake, shape up.

[onyx]

Don't have the time or the inclination.
Your apology to Fair Opinion will suffice.
Good afternoon.

"Voices that perhaps need to be heard?"

People who "listen to voices" are usually locked away for life

[FairOpinion]

"FO: if I mistook your gender for female when you're in fact male, my apologies."

I made a point to NOT reveal whether I am male of female, precisely so people comment on the content of my posts, not what or who they think I am.

[Torie]

Let me help you with some of this.

I don't have a problem with how anybody votes. I just get annoyed with the claim of conservative purity thingie. It's just so bogus and self centered, and so detached with how a president has to fashion a coalition to win, and typically based with either 1) cherry picking issues, or 2) distorting the Bush position, like was done here on the world court matter (Iraq has not signed on to the World Court, so it has no jurisdiction over US troops in Iraq, and while US troops are there, it certainly will not sign on, and by the way Bush signed the US out), or both.

I have blasted Bush on several issues over time, when I considered them ill advised and not good for this nation. I posted in a conversation with Scenic Sounds in response to a most excellent and well researched and documented post of his, that I was disturbed about the juxtoposition of Bush expressing doubts to Tenet about the case for WMD's, while exuding cetainly about their existence in public at about the same time. On other issues, I have supported Bush. No problem, and nobody seems to mind.

Why might that be do you think?

[Darlin']

LOL. I do so hope these so called "conservatives" are advising the Kerry/Edwards campaign cause if they are I see a Bush-Cheney landslide in the making.
