GEORGE BUSH MAY GO DOWN AS THE WORST PREZ IN HISTORY
or
WHY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE A REPUBLICAN TODAY
President George Bush has not distinguished himself by fighting for his judicial nominees. Indeed, the way he treated Miguel Estrada, he is arguably worse than the Democrats in the Senate.
Now seven Senators have made a deal to run the Senate, and they claim that it would be best for the President to get in his Presidential Yugo and drive down to the Senate Building carrying his hat in his hand to get his judicial nominees pre-approved.
If President George Bush accedes to this power grab, he will go down as the worst President in history.
The United States Senate gave up its legislative power to the federal courts; now the Senate proposes to usurp Presidential powers. Where is our Constitutional Republic in all this?
Previous Presidents have called Senators over to the White House and 'jawboned' them with political goodies to get them to support their agenda. George Bush, instead, called Ted Kennedy over to the White House and allowed him to write the Education Bill. Kennedy responded by saying that Bush had woefully underfunded education, and iced it by calling the President a murderer and a war criminal. Bush does not jawbone Olympia Snowe or Lincoln Chaffee; instead, he closes military bases in Trent Lott's Senatorial District.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE A REPUBLICAN TODAY
It is impossible to be a Republican today because as a voter you send representatives to Washington who BETRAY you repeatedly. Even when the majority of the country votes for Republicans and traditional values, 'Republicans' tell us that it is important to let the minority rule the country, and traditional values are trashed.
I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN
Well, I used to be a Republican. I have been betrayed so many times I have lost count. The Republican Party of Florida re-districted me out of the Congressional District in West Orlando [where I live] and placed me in WEST JACKSONVILLE - nearly 100 miles away. There are three Congressional Districts in West Orlando, but I am assigned to West Jacksonville... a district so gerrymandered that some portions are only as wide as the center line in the middle of the highway.
There is no good reason for me to be a Republican; there is no good reason for me to vote any longer. All my votes, all my campaigning for traditional values, all my fighting against the Democratic oligarchy siezing power in this country has resulted in my own people disenfranchising me by gerrymandering me out of representation in Washington [Well, true, I have Bill Nelson... I remember Bill Nelson: about 1983 he said on local radio that Christians should not be allowed to vote since they are incapable of thinking for themselves, that they must be told how to think.]
Yep - that is what all my voting for 40 years has netted me.
If I voted for Joseph Stalin, at least I would get exactly what I expected. At least if the Democraps win, we know they will finalize the overthrow of the Constitution and set up their socialist tyrannical dictatorship. If that does not motivate Americans to do what is necessary to re-establish freedom, then what have I been fighting for anyway?

[ but then agian your post is full of dimwitted quotes. Anyone who makes a comparison between Bush/Republicans and Stalin deserves to be kicked in the ass. ]
SO THEN, Bush importing Mexicans as proto-democrats to replace the future democrats that the democrat party has aborted to continue the faux competition between the two partys ON PURPOSE, (is nonsense eh!....) and for the futher dumbing down of America and the voting public that the schools have not already done.. is SILLY.?.
Sure, you have a point, Bush is not as coniving as Stalin or as smart as Mao, or as good looking as Alfred E. Neuman even though he resembles him.. but Bush "IS" Vincente Foxes main squeeze.. no denying that..
Old "Read my LIPS no new Taxs" son did'nt fall too far from the tree.. The "I'm a Unite'er not a Divide'er" seems to be "Uniting" with socialism INSTEAD of fighting it... and uniting with other nasty things too.. In future years democrats will HAIL Bush after they find out he was a democrat "MOLE"..

I doubt Miguel Estrada cares. Bush only allowed the trashing of his life for no gain whatsoever.

Strange so many are compelled to personally attack the guy that wrote this, instead of addressing what he said.What's strange? What FreeRepublic have YOU been posting on lately?
To: Xenalyte
I'm confusedI think he meant he had no choice and only voted the way he did to keep someone else from office as opposed to voting for someone because he like their policies etc.

You might want to check Bob's seniority date. And then re-read the article, its spot on..
YEAH!! That must it! The longer you are here the more criedible and truth telling you must be. That is a load of BS! Just because someone has been here for a while doesn't meant that they know everything and are infallible. I've been here for 6 years under mulitple screen names and I know there are multiple "long timers" that wouldn't know there a$$ from a hole in the ground. And then there are those who just like to cause problems and do nothing but complain.
This article read like it was written by an angry old lady who complains but couldn't do a better job if they tried.

"And it may be that President Bush will usher in a new era of traditional conservatism."
If this 'new era' refers to a period of time where 'conservatism' means pro-borrow and spend, pro-massive entitlement programs, pro-socialist security, pro-foreign welfare, pro-open borders, pro-illegal immigration, pro-deficit, anti-individual rights, anti-privacy, anti-gun, and sucks up to our enemies (Putin, China, Saudi Arabia, etc), then count me out of it. I must be one of those oddball oldtimers who still thinks that small government, individual rights, securing our borders, and balanced budgets are the way to go. Silly me.
