" this is a "real" letter from a "real" person."
"It's a joke from a rat op."
He is one of those girly-men.
A lawyer? And you believe what he says?
I find it amazing how many people on this website agree with this bozo and his spew. Then again, seeing how daily people here for the President to be impeached, I guess it shouldn't be amazing at all.
Ok, but read the article again, please. This nitwit doesn't debate whether Pres. Bush is conservative or not, nor does it discuss values. It repeats left-wing LIBERAL talking points. This troll poster was trying to get a few FR members to believe this crap. Looks like he/she/it was successful.
Its funny you mentioned that, I was commenting to my friends how we should all pick up and go somewhere like Montana.
I am sick of NY and looking for a way to leave.
After doing research I was sickened about how anti-military and anti-freedom the Democratic party really is. After listening to bilge coming out of the mouth of Tom Daschle one afternoon I jumped in my car and drove straight to the town office to change my registration.
"We're poisoning our planet through gluttony and ignorance.
We're teetering on the brink of self-inflicted insolvency.
We're selfishly and needlessly sacrificing the best of a generation.
And we're lying about it."
Yeah, this is from a conservative. Sheesh.
That was my thought. If this guy lists G.H.W Bush before Reagan, then I have trouble believing in his Conservative credentials.
Yep. Instant give-away.
If you are as conservative as anyone, then you'd HAVE to think that they're wrong sometimes.
There are a lot of issues where the Bush-led GOP has gone to the left.
I remember early on in the Kerry campaign when they were trying to present him as a conservative, alternative to the liberal G.W.Bush. I really couldn't believe it. Even if I were upset with some of W's more liberal policies I certainly wouldn't turn to the likes of Kerry as an alternative.
Well, looky there! Nice work, SM!
"Why would you assume nobody crosses over?"
I never did assume that nobody crosses over. However it works both ways. Go ahead and cross over to the pessimistic party of "I quit", they need you over there.
So? The Republican party, a small third party, was also emboldened in times like the Civil War. Your point was?
Yes, Teddy Roosevelt. Don't confuse Teddy with his socialist cousin Franklin. The man who drug out the great depression 10 years longer than it should have. Here is a quote from your About Page: Here's a run-down of my views: Economic Issues: Milton Friedman-inspired capitalist. Less Taxes, Less Regulation, Free Trade, and cut govt. spending! Foreign Policy: Anti-Communist, Anti-Islamist. Believe in "Peace through Strength". Maintain a superior military so that you won't have to use it.
Teddy was nothing at all like his cousin. In fact Teddy wasn't too much like any other president, the closest being Ronald Reagan. Teddy's philosophy was "walk softly and carry a big stick" He was extremely military minded, and was one of the foremost proponents of "Peace through Strength"
Because of childhood illnesses which had weakend him, and his small physique, Teddy was bound to overcome his apparent shortcomings. Apparent to others, not himself. He was the quintessential take charge, take responsibility for yourself.
Back in Teddy's day, the Republicans were more pro big business than they are today. Teddy saw definite flaws in having business totally lawless, and was the originator of antimonopoly laws. He was also an avid outdoorsman, and attacked the outdoor lifestyle with the same vigor he did everything else. I see Teddy Roosevelt being one of the ultimate capitalists and ecologists. A man who understood BALANCE. Teddy would understand the needs of people and business for lumber, and would try to balance our need for ecology. Teddy understood business and that it drove the economy of the nation, without it everybodies lifestyle would be poor, not just a few. But he also understood that SOMEbusinesses left unregulated, would hurt others. I guess I see Teddy as the first true compassionate capitalist.
Barry Goldwater might have been a great Republican for his day, but there are a few differences between Barry and Teddy. Barry was a "might have been", Teddy "was". Secondly, Barry was great in his day and time. Teddy was great for all time. Lastly, Barry Goldwater will be remembered mainly by Republicans, and only those who study history. Teddy will be remembered by all parties, even if all you have is basic American history.

"Unless there is more than one James Chaney in Eugene, OR, according to the FEC, this guy stopped being a Republican no later than 1997."
