[ Republicans Shouldn't Run Away from Bush ]

True.. just stand still.. Bush is and has been running away from republicans.. Currently he's out of sight.. Running after him would requiring knowing wheres he at.. I think he hiding out in the enemy camp.. The only question is why is he there.. Is he a covert republican spy?, or is he an overt democrat double agent?.. On the other hand he might be a globalist that laughs at both parties.. Where one party hates him and other party loves him.. Politics in America today is like, the Simpsons meet the King of the Hill gang.. a good environment for a globalist..

Watch the Democrat Virtual Party Campaigners come out of the wood work now.

That is precisely the kind of supercilious, studied ignorance that is going to hand the Congress to the Democrats this year.

I pray people like you give up your "abandoning our wounded, even though they are still running things," drivel before it is too late.

The key is what Rush says? Check this out...

JOHN FUND ON THE TRAIL
Rush for the Border Limbaugh issues a warning to President Bush.

Monday, January 31, 2005 12:01 a.m. EST

ORLANDO, Fla.--In the aftermath of 9/11, conservatives bottled up their frustrations over some of President Bush's policies. Then they muted their criticism during the presidential campaign. But now it is spilling out in all directions--and the White House had better pay attention.

On Friday Rush Limbaugh, a staunch Bush supporter, took two separate opportunities to warn the president that he faced conservative opposition on some key issues that could hurt his chances of passing the rest of his second-term agenda.

First was federal spending, which "is surging out of control," according to the Heritage Foundation's new "Mandate for Leadership."

The other was immigration, which, Mr. Limbaugh told his listeners, "could break up the Republican-conservative coalition" à la Ross Perot. "We cannot maintain our sovereignty without securing and protecting our borders in an era where terrorists around the world seek entry to this country," he said." ...snip

I am amazed at the number of self professed Conservatives that say they'll vote for a Dem, a third party candidate who doesn't have a chance of winning or will not vote at all because they disagree with some of President Bush's and other moderate Repubs positions.

Would you be amazed if those same conservatives left their spouses just because the spouse was making it with the neighbor?

Wake UP!

Conservatives are jumping ship because of a Harriet Miers level betrayal on multiple levels.

Conservatives are in a no win situation. Bush has failed them and espoused a liberal agenda, but it is still less liberal than the democrats. And, Even if conservatives attempt to run from Bush, angry voters will still vote against them simply because they are in the same party as Bush. I don't think they can un-align themselves from Bush in the eyes of voters no matter how hard they try. It is sort of a redux of Nixon in 1974 under different circumstances. The only ray of light would be to attack illegal immigration with a vengeance. That may provide some relief.

It will probably be ugly in this years' election. But, we can and will recover.

If the White House would just defend themselves more than once a month and go on offense about things like the economy, then maybe Republicans/Conservatives would not run away from him.

Again, if the GOP loses in November. The White House shares a ton of the blame with the spineless ones in the senate. It's not the base out here.

This was EXACTLY my fear, when Bush allowed the Kennedys, Kerrys, Clintons of the world to spread their lies time and again, without a response from Bush, Cheney, or senior GOP leaders...

His poll numbers are in the toilet, he can't push through many of his ideas (SS, tax cuts, etc), and now GOPers are going to run from him, when they know, full well, that the Dems will tie them together in ad after ad.

I just hate it when fellow morons brush this off by saying "Oh no, Bush won't be elected again". Allowing those lies to stick has consequences...

Oh, and to hell with those of you who constantly... called me negative for complaining about the reticence to set the record straight... saying Bush was playing rope-a-dope... saying the dinosaur media is close to extinct and has little influence... saying the American public is smart enough to sort out the truth on our own...

WRONG on all counts!!!

Its not a point of whether or not Bush is running again, it shows that are party is unified. What our party needs to be doing is coming up with smart, popular legislative ideas and working with Bush to get them done. Makes me sick to see our party sitting on their thumbs and doing nothing when we have the power. We will lose because they aren't sticking together. And im not only talking about the RINO's out there.

What will Bush do for conservatives over the next 3 years? Will he phone it in like his father? If he does nothing, he destroys the republican party. Pretty clear to me.

The point about abandoning Bush is that those running for election are distancing themselves from him.

The Party above all else propaganda is starting to sound like Soviet propaganda. Considering the fact that the GOP seems hell bent on importing marxists and getting them to vote, you really have to wonder what the goal is.

As long as the recovery involves candidates that actually want to reduce government's reach into our daily lives. The current crop have spread government like cancer.

What was the point of posting this tripe probably cut from the DU site? Most of that stuff has no basis in fact or even fiction.
Getting tired of these boards taken over by the Bush haters. Get with the program people, if you don't want the left to take over we stick together.

Come November "06 and "08 and Dems gain the majority and nuts like Kennedy, Leahy, Biden, Durbin Rangel, Kucinich and the like are running both the Senate and the House, you tell me how that will be an improvement over the current situation. You better wake up.

Yes, the key IS what Rush says in today's article. Rush has spoken out on issues that he feels President Bush isn't handling the way he (we) want him to, just as your article from 2005 suggested. But like me, Rush isn't about to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Good post. Maybe some of those who are saying they'll vote Dem or third party next time will reacquaint themselves with the idiots they're threatening to get in bed with. LOL

I have one congressman and one senator to vote for in November. In California my senator vote is a joke since the GOP never runs anyone qualified and simply give Boxer and DiFi the seat.

My congressman is very new (Campbell) just got there on a special election.

Other GOP'er cannot run on a successful record of lower government, smaller taxes, indiviual rights or Constitutional freedom - you know the things we put them into office for and they failed.

So, they are like all politicans, blaming someone else. The MSM blames Bush for everything so this is just another media bush bashing we play into.
