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.
And rarely IF ever give due praise.
I think we know your agenda.
You know it!
Getting ready to retake the House, no doubt with the help of the likes of you?
You said in every conservative category Bush beats Reagan. I showed you a very important area where that's not the case. Deal with it.
Just like the homeless!
You mean last year and before, this was not a Repub bashing site? It sure has changed.
The post of the beast!
If acuity was $$$$, you'd makes Forbes' list easily.
We have been invaded. That is an undeniable fact.
(I mean that in more ways than one)
You seriously don't think FR is representative of the real world, do you?
Hell, have the people who joined since the end of 2004 are members of DU or Stormfront.
It's probably a good thing because unlike 2000, 2002 and 2004 I have yet to hear any except Amnesty for Illegals which has been Bush's platform all the way back in 99.
For some it is ALL of the above. They are having a tantrum that is not only disgusting, it's harming our country. Reason and common sense are as foreign to them as an illegal alien. LOL
No AMERICAN Company wants them because they don't want to throw TONS of capital at them, for razor-thin margins and a very small market penetration.......
We will end a giving somebody like Halliburton HUGE subsidies in the end, or Dubai will STILL get it, after a few million more in "Consulting" fees to the Clinton Cabal.....
"You have a foggy memory..........perhaps because you were so busy lying about me at the time."
Lying about "lying" #2. You could use a thesaurus, you know.
Gosh, you're ignorant. Do you really think they Democrats will be "burdened" by the RULES?
I vote fence. They're easier to see through and therefore harder to hide behind than a wall.
I will tell you this, if you want the Democrats to take over to punish the GOP then you are lower than pond scum . This country is in a crisis and it has NOTHING to do with Mexicans it is a nation that is about to lose another war and when that happens the gates of hell will be unleashed on all of us. Think about it if you are capable of thinking.
You could use a brain.
