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.
Where do you get off saying I support Democrats or Communist? WTF.
My comments were about those who believe there is nothing wrong and Bush can do NO wrong. Don't believe me, I see lots of dis-satisfied people everyday and immigration is THE ISSUE. If President Bush keeps ignoring it or worst keeping pushing his stupid guest worker plan, just wait and see come NOV.
I did some digging earlier this year. Amazing how great a time span existed between either non-post to current, and last time posted to current.
They seem to arrive in hordes and waves. They must have some type of moonbat whistle that only they can hear..
Your comment about primaries bears repeating:
:)
ROTFL!!!
I'm with you.
So you're gonna help elect the socialists to prove a point? Good luck on that solution. Personally, the safety of our country is far more important to me than having some kiss my @$$ for my vote.
No, it's stupid. And your contention that it's what the Founding Fathers wanted is stupid, too.
They could have written that into the Constitution, but they didn't.
So, unless you're arguing that you're smarter than them, I think it's not brilliant.
Yawn, I'm so scared that democrats take control. Obviously the Republican leaders aren't too worried about upsetting the voters and losing control why should we?
I don't spend much on a new wardrobe. But, if I own a shirt that will never come clean in the wash, I don't go wearing it anymore. I throw it out. Haven't you done the same?
Seeing as how you post only once a week, and it's always to me, and it always says the same old tired things, I'm not surprised you haven't read my many conservative positions (economic, social, religious).
I need to go back and look, but I think you just cut and paste from your notepad every time you post to me.
Then I assume you won't be supporting the open borders policy of the Republican party....
I have heard this mantra repeated over and over. I never gave much thought to it, but it's becoming plainly obvious that it is futile. Voting for the lesser of two evils will only ensure that you get what you ask for: evil. (NO, I'm not saying that Republicans are 'evil', I am only using the word to go fit with this tired cliche.) If cliches are going to be thrown around, then maybe it would best to throw out another one. You know, the one about the frog and the boiling water? Because thats exactly what voting for the lesser of two evils leads to.
Here's a novel idea. Instead of voting based on fear, how about voting based on who you think will do the best job?
My contention that the Founding Fathers envisioned a citizen government, and not a ruling class is not stupid. It's history. Just like our country, unless we get back to some of those same "stupid" ideas that those "brilliant" men who charted our course came up with.
Apparently. I think the "list" contains names of Conservatives.
Great. Who?
That was not my point. What this person was suggesting was that we get rid of EVERY incumbent. That is the dumbest suggestion I've ever heard. You don't throw out all your clothes after you wear them, do you?
Conservatives don't root for Rat victories.
There is no open borders policy. I'm so tired of the immigration zealots. You can talk to someone else about that.
