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.
No one who is pro-life.....No one who is conservative, can tolerate the thought of throwing out even the wimpiest Republicans in Congress and replacing them with pro-death traitors.
No it is a war. There are 2 armies and it is a fight to the death. I know which army I am in and which one I want to win. I also know which one you want to win. We are enemies.
Enjoy these threads! When they ever come up with a positive idea, they'll collectively pop: They weren't programmed to accept goodness and good ideas.
The blame lies firmly at your feet and the others here like you...and with Congress.
Ah, we can spot them a mile away. Maybe they'll see how wrong their thinking is. Maybe they'll see how unfairly they treat a black woman compared to rich white Kennedys
And just how is that possible?
The Specter essentially IS a Dimmycrap. If he were honest, he would run as one.
That is exactly the sort of argument that chases conservatives away from the Repulbican Party: You may as well vote for a Democrat in Republican clothing, because otherwise you'll get a Democrat who at least is honest enough to admit it.
He was not right in detail but that the concept would have unintended consequences. Fact is that NAFTA has created more turmoil in the Mexican economy than was expected. The sheer volume of trade has more or less sucked labor in its wake, hitching a ride so to speak on the trucks coming north.
That poll scares me. I can't imagine letting the rats take over, even for one SECOND to "prove a point." They would destroy our country.
Did the White House escort primary voters into the booth at gunpoint to force them to vote for Specter?
What makes you so sure it will only last for two years?
The biggest political mistake of the 20th Century was people like yours truly, voting for Ross Perot. That gave us 8 years of Bill and Hillary.
ANYONE who says it's a 'temporary setback' to let the RATS control this country, doesn't give a rip about the young men and women who are sacrificing their LIVES and their freedom to keep us free and secure.
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who says it doesn't matter who's in charge in Washington is a military hater, and as such, my enemy.
If you say so. All I know is that you're a drama queen.
Even if that were true, it would mean that Cheney would fill out the term. I think we'd get more conservative policy from Cheney than from Bush, don't you?
