I'm more upset with Conservatives than I am with George W. Bush

Posted on 05/08/2006 7:04:26 PM PDT by mwfsu84

If I had told you on 9/11/2001 that we'd go four and half years and counting without another terrorist attack on US soil, would you have believed me?

If I had told you that US-led forces would secure Afghanistan in just a few months...something the Soviets couldn't accomplish in ten years...would you have thought I was crazy?

If I had told you that Saddam was gone, that Khadaffy had renounced terrorism, and that Iraq was on the verge of becoming the second democracy in the Middle East, would have thought I was on medication?

Sometimes in our disappointment of this administration, we often forget some of the positives. The economy is strong. More Americans are homeowners. With tax cuts, we're spending less time working for Uncle Sam.

And if you take those benefits for granted, just imagine how much different things would be under a President Al Gore.

So if the president's stance on immigration and spending upset you - and they do upset me - what are you going to do about it? Stay at home? Nothing could be worse for conservativism. Your non-support will usher in more immigrants, higher taxes, and weaker national security.

If the GOP loses Congress, George W. Bush will be removed from office. Nothing would embolden terrorists more. How can we be counted on to wage an effective war when we can't even decide who our enemy is?

George W. Bush isn't the enemy. But that's exactly the message conservatives will send to the world if they stay at home this November.

If you're upset with W. on immigration - write him, write a Republican Congressman, let him know how you feel. It was conservatives who got Bush to change his mind on Harriet Meirs.

I promise you, a Democratic Congress won't be nearly as responsive to your needs.

Good thing we'll be able to avoid all that since a fence will not be allowed in the first place. So you dont need to worry about a fence being built. No reason to move that goalpost.

Then they continually screw over the people that voted them in, and once again they are the minority party for another 40 years.

Which causes them to move even farther to the left. They dont learn the 'lesson' that those who call themselves 'the true conservatives' wanted them to learn. Instead, 'the true conservatives' end up shooting themselves in the foot.

"Instead, 'the true conservatives' end up shooting themselves in the foot."
Actually only "True Republicans" will be voting for them, Conservative have moved on to vote for people that reflect their points of view.

The Republican Party just can't quiet see the difference between a political party ans the conservative movement. To their way of thinking you should sell out completely just to vote against a DemonRat.
