Only if Jews are not human and therefore can not be victims

_+___Stop the paranoia...the US has been steadfast in its support of Israel.

Remember Christians don't serve politicians only God. And remember what happened to candidates Bush Sr. and Dole. Go the centrist moderate route and Christians stay home or seek an alternative.

__There isn't going to be any alternative. There are not enough conservatives to elect a President. Face reality.

Just don't pretend you're a conservative. You are nothing more than a groupie who is unable to tell the difference between legitimate criticism and "bashing." Go back to drawing hearts and "I luv Bush" in your notebooks and quit trying to convince anyone that you even know what conservatism is, much less that your idol President Bush stands for it.

++I'm an American before I'm a conservative.

And you know this by how?

Look what happens when republicans go moderate and then get back to me.

It seems when the Republicans shift more to the "right" Christians and some in the Libertarian party come out to play. Not so when the GOP play centrist politics.

Keep praising Bush and the GOP about moving to the center, what you get will be a Democrat in 2008.

Why, because people a lot of people like me (Who voted for Bush twice) will be sick and tired of the GOP talking like purveyors of limited government while doing the exact opposite right after the oath has been sworn in.

"I'm an American before I'm a conservative."

Then why are you supporting the confiscation of our money to be shifted onto groups like Hamas that hate our guts and burn the American flag pretty much on a daily basis?

It seems you are a Republican before an American before a conservative. Please get your head out of the Republicans behind and listen to what George Washington had to say about "Party loyalty".

___"Limited government" is a political loser. The public doesn't want it. Remember how
Xlinton cleaned Gingrich's clock over the government shutdown?

The people want government services, but these services and benefits should empower the people not make them dependent. That's the difference between Bush and the Democrats.

You just proved my point. Republicans wimped out of that fight and instead of doing their Constitutional duty, read polls and played the centrist, everybody lets get along routine with the democrats.

Look what happened in 1996, I was sure as heck, and many of my friends were not going to vote for Dole. Why, instead of following the constitution they followed meaningless polls.

"The final irony was that the poll numbers (all the Administration seems to care about) were beginning to turn against Clinton in both shutdowns just as the Republicans called it quits; the GOP got all of the pain and none of the gain."-- Rich Lowery

Thanks again Bushbaker for proving my point.

we got 250 million parties of one. never sit out. your vote helped defeat kerry. we'd be worried about more than some palestinian "bribes" oops I mean aid, if he were in WH. Like how about unilateral US troop withdrawals from Iraq by last forth of July, you know, in honor of "freedom" You did god with your vote. Now we got more votes coming in 2006. Never sit one out and never throw one away. The Perot republicans helped insure 8 years of clinton, and a platform for hillary in 2008.Never forget.

That's difficult.

You know about us Jews: big nosed, control all the banks and paranoid.

Take me. My paranoia stirs eveytime I read something by you. Why would you think that occurs?

It couldn't be because you implied in my post that I was criticizing the US when I was criticism what you wrote.

It couldn't be because you take a similar opportunity to inference anti Americanism to anyone who questions an American policy concerning Israel.

I know, you are a Bush supporter and you jump to his defense- except when you don't. Then you go and admit that you are not so much a Republican as an American firster. That's compared to us American fifth or sixers.

Oh, my paranoia. It tingles.

_____Congrats! Another 4 years of Clinton...hope ya liked it!

Truth is, conservatism is only valid insofar as it helps the country and "limited government" is not always the right approach.
And the public doesn't want smaller goverment, it wants more effective government.

____Calling a US President an appeaser of terrorists is not criticism, it's vile slander.

America has always been a good ally of Israel and indeed Israel might have lost the Yom Kippur War without emergency American aid, so I have every right to be indignant when the President is maligned.

Yes, it's my fault Clinton was elected because the GOP decided to move to the center. It's what you centrist get, crap either way.

Sorry I don't vote for crap if it's either coming from a democrat or moderate Republican. My standards are higher when it comes to politicians spending my money.

Don't you think you've worn out the word "slander" by now? Move from the dictionary, that doesn't help you, and attempt to tackle the Constitution of the US. You may learn that citizens are allowed to criticize the President.

Speaking of education, I don't know how to break it to you but Bush was not President in 1973. And whether the US has always been a friend to Israel is debatable.

Now don't cry and go using that word slander again. Particularly when you mean libel. LOL

a center/right coalition can win national elections.

It also says I have a knowledge of history and implies I'm educated.

I wish it also said I was good looking, and really good in bed. Maybe you'll infer that from some future post.

Bush has gone soft on us over these last few months.

He isn't worried about re-election...he can now do and say anything he wants, and to heck with those who voted for him.

If reality dictates you must move to the center why does history prove otherwise?

Why did Bush senior have a hard time in '88 against a liberal and then get embarrassed by someone who only got 43% of the vote in 1992?

Why did Dole lose after the Republicans launched it's list of very conservative rightwing promises that gave them both bodies of Congress? Oh I forgot, they moved to the center while ignoring the promises made which gave the GOP Congress to begin with.

Silly me, and I thought 60 million voters who elected GWB would at least get some taste of private accounts from SS. No more getting suckered again by these Republican wimps until they prove and fight for what they promise.

___The voters thought they were voting for a third Reagan term and Dukakis ran an inept campaign.




and then get embarrassed by someone who only got 43% of the vote in 1992?

____Because Perot drained off the white male vote that traditionally goes Republican.

Why did Dole lose after the Republicans launched it's list of very conservative rightwing promises that gave them both bodies of Congress? Oh I forgot, they moved to the center while ignoring the promises made which gave the GOP Congress to begin with.

____Bush is not a centrist, but a straight conservative campaign would have ended up electing a Democrat...indeed, without the Waron Terror issue, Kerry would have won...Americans are NOT conservatives...why can't Freepers
get that through their heads??


Silly me, and I thought 60 million voters who elected GWB would at least get some taste of private accounts from SS. No more getting suckered again by these Republican wimps until they prove and fight for what they promise.

_____The public doesn't seem to understand private accounts and Bush can't seem to make them...so the GOP pols are looking at 2006 and worrying that it will be a repeat of 1986 when social security gave the Senate back to the Democrats,
