More reason to be encouraged about Nov.2!
Take a look at the tagline. Take a look at its posting history. I report, you decide...
Out of idle curiosity, why is Tommy Thompson a Fascist?
If the Bush Campaign was polling at 53 vs 44, the democrats would be in such a panic, they would likely pull another torricelli-lautenberg swap, which in turn would leave the Bush team with less resources and time to campaign against the new opponent. By keeping low, they keep kerry in the race till the opportune moment, then let him have it with both barrels. This of course is presuming the Bush team has anything worth firing at kerry.
Is this like GW giving the dems everything they want so as to take away their issues??
no.
Take a look at the tagline.
Please name me just one thing remotely Conservative tubby Tommy Thompson has done since taking over as head of the Health and Human Services Department?
Take a look at its posting history.
By all means please do so, Go right to my home page, I am the "Keeper" of the Generation X ping list and I have links to every article that I ever posted/pinged to it on my home page. A recurring theme that I post in the ping list is how wonderful it is that the younger generations are becoming more Conservative (and we make fun of Hippies too)
Quote FROM ME in the last article before this thread
The trends are all toward Republicans
"I'm Gen-X and I am ecstatic that the younger Gen-Y in college and high school right now is even more Conservative and active than we were at their age and I hope Gen-Z is even more so.
My favorite article that I posted (not just pinged) to the Gen-X ping list was It’s Morning After in America (Long but Awesome read - We are winning the culture war!!)
Yeah those are quotes and articles a liberal would post.
I report, you decide...
More like All the News that's fit to print..
Look buddy, You don't agree with my assement of GWB's campaign so far then fine, Us Conservatives don't have to agree in lockstep with everything each other says, And please feel free by all means to tell me where you think I am wrong. But to come out and attack me as Liberal DU plant in not one but 2 post, Especially when there was nothing remotely Liberal about my post I would say you owe me an apology big time.
I owe you nothing. Using a tagline like that has outed you for a Randian Cultist (at best) or some one that is not too sublety using a paraphrase of an Al Franken book title to attack a Bush Cabinet member as visciously as the most rabid DUma$$ (at worst).
RINO is one thing, junior, fascist is something else entirely.
While we're talking about Thompson, you might be well advised to study his record as Governor of Wisconsin. The welfare reform he implemented in a quite liberal state was the model that the GOP rammed down the Toons' throat (so to speak) in 1996.
Don't like the HHS budget over the last few years? Do you understand that a cabinet secretary does not control their own budget? Do you understand that 95% of the HHS spending is non-discretionary in any given year, withour Congress killing the underlying program? Do you understand that the point man on implementing the community and faith based assistance initiatives is Secretary Thompson?
Do you understand anything at all? If anyone around here deserves an apology, its:
1) Secretary Thompson and
2) The other people you have insulted in your posts.
So, to repeat dighton's question, junior: What makes Tommy Thompson a fascist?
Now as for Bush's re-election campaign. It really has'nt started yet. Have some patience. If you recall the 1996 campaign, the GOP basically put a walking corpse at the head of their ticket and had nothing to run on other than "I'm not Bill Clinton".
The opposition is repeating that playbook. I remember the feeling of despair after the '96 convention. I went into it knowing that we were screwed, spent a dismal fall knowing that the Dole Kemp ticket was DOA; oh yes, I remember the feeling well. The current 'rat campaign has the same pall around it. They know that they're DOA. This will be a 40-45 state blowout, barring Bush being videotaped molesting puppies.
"...When I drive down the road I see more Kerry bumper stickers than Bush..."
I live in Maryland (of all places), and I see more Bush stickers than Kerry Stickers!!
Take off the tin foil hat, It's a line from South Park and that's all.
RINO is one thing, junior, fascist is something else entirely.
Junior? LOL!!!
You are the one who tried to Ping all your "Friends" to help you fight your battle, Yeah that's a sign of maturity.
Out of curiosity, I can only count 7 people in your ping before the rest are blocked out by a ...... so how many total people (numbers not names) did you try to ping to help you?

He was a good governor I will give you that,
However since then he his health gestapo have called for raising taxes on cigarettes and junk food, assaulted and sold out to the UN the1st Amendment and our private property rights.

Note: I didn't post these articles (And as far as I know without re-reading through them all I don't think I even responded in any of them) and take note of the lovely names other Freepers hurl at him.
Do you understand that the point man on implementing the community and faith based assistance initiatives is Secretary Thompson?
So let me get this straight.
Tommy Thompson is the point man on spending more of our money on useless social programs.
And this is making his case that he's a good Republican how?
Do you understand anything at all? If anyone around here deserves an apology, its:
1) Secretary Thompson and
I am not going to apologize to tubby Tommy any more than I am going to apologize to Ariana Huffington or Terreezza Heinz Kerry (who like Tommy Thompson were also Republicans at one time) for anything bad I said/say/am going to say about them,
2) The other people you have insulted in your posts.
What other people are you talking about???
Again if you haven't noticed none of your "Friends" you tried to call out for help showed up and everyone else who responded to this exchange were apparently taking my side.
They only other person I insulted was John Kerry. Don't tell me you think I should apologize to John Kerry for calling him a fool???
So, to repeat dighton's question, junior: What makes Tommy Thompson a fascist?
The current war on cigarettes and fatty foods in which Tommy Thompson is a major player is right out of Hitler's "You have a duty to the state to be healthy" play book.
Before you attack me on that point, Consider that Rush Limbaugh calls people of Tommy Thompson's ilk Anti-Smoking Nazis and the Health Gestapo. Is Rush a DNC plant also?

I disagree because Dole never came close to Clinton and the fact that ~50% of the people believe we a still in a recession and <50% think Iraq was worth it shows that Bush and all Republicans have just utterly failed in getting the message out. Yes I know the press is against Bush big time, but they were also against Reagan and Nixon and they were able to take their message directly to the people while Bush has just done poorly at it. I do really hope you are right and it's not to late.
Now, Even though I still disagreed with your rebuttal. Bravo, Much applause. That's was damm fine, well thought out, well written, civil response to my post. There actually might be hope for you when you mature a little more.
I live in Los Angeles(not known for it's conservative population) and for a long time I only saw Kerry stickers, but now, it's about half and half. Thank God! I was feeling so alone.
