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.
That poll is very telling.
It confirms my suspicions. We have been invaded by democrat shills (trolls) who are here to disrupt and demoralize.
We have been infiltrated by the left, and we must take this forum back!
I got your wing...
B I N G O !
You have just stated what I was trying so hard to explain.
He's practically enabling the impeachment of George Bush!
Oh no! Whatever shall I do? "OhioWfan" doesn't like me.
By the way, you're not making a very good sales pitch, just to let you know.
*claps* I'm gonna have to watch that tomorrow.
What about the ROUS's?
Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.
If Arlen is chair of the Judiciary Committee there will be no impeachment proceedings.
They try to have it both ways: either the WH is impotent or it's Herculean in strength!
No wonder it doesn't affect you, inquest. You are the enemy of all three.
You are on the side of the left, and that makes you MY enemy as well.
You see what you want to see.
Did you check out the thread about lifting the tariffs on foreign ethanol? Oh, maybe you shouldn't go there. I'm supporting the Kyl-Feinstein position, that tariffs on foreign ethanol should be lifted so that oil companies could have access to imported ethanol, thus using a market-based approach to solve the shortage of domestic ethanol. I'm with John Kyl on this one.
You don't see because you don't look.
Actually it's mostly stories about how "hardworking" they are in their "pursuit of the American dream". It's not designed to get conservatives worked up. It's designed to demoralize them.
I'm simply saying that if the Dimmycraps were cuckoo enough to carry out that scheme -- and I notice Pelosi trying to back away from it -- it would do little or no harm, as Cheney would continue the policies and move somewhat to the right. So if that's your BIG SCARE, it's not one that will work.
You have zeroed in on what I have overlooked.
You have singularly OUTED them.
CONGRATULATIONS! AND THANK YOU!
As a percent of GDP Bill Clinton was the lowest and Bush second lowest in the last 50 years.
How many Zell Millers do you see in the Democrat party today? Cuz I don't see ANY.
No, your sales pitch is calling everyone who disagrees with your choice of strategy your "enemy".
No wonder it doesn't affect you, inquest.
Hyperbole rarely does.
