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.

Why don't you be the gentleman and drop the nonsense?
We can post to whomever we wish.

It looks like it is a busy night.

I can believe there is some discontent on the right

but not this much ...


What I dont get about the immigration issue is its been exactly the same for 20 years or so...why get upset now?

I think you are right about nastiness level.

What gets me this time out is thread infiltration. I HATE it when I want to just goof off and talk about some inane Hollyweird thing, or make snide comments about stupid criminals, or say nice things about things the President is doing right and some—frankly—jerk has to come onto the thread and make snide immigration comments.

That to me is what has made this so irritating this time. It's immigration proliferation and I'm ready for some kind of treaty to reduce our weapons. I'm tired of the pot stirring, so to speak.

and the republicans are sitting around debating how they can pass amnesty without calling it amnesty.

not amnesty

that aside,are you people saying the dims are going to handle the illegals problem better? What is their plan?

Why didn't Clinton do something about it - he had 8 years without a 9-11 or Iran, or hurricanes - Yeah, we need them back in the WH

Listen up MissAmericanPottedMeatSandwich, you aren't a Republican, so why the hell do you care what Republicans do? If you're going to vote third-party, go tell the Democrats at DU...they'll be damned happy to hear about it. Your posts are emblematic of the transparent horse$hit flying around this board lately...you people are moronic!

Tell it like it is, Chunga! BRAVO!!!!!!

Which came first, the chicken, or the egg?

Which wins more, The GOP, The Constitution Party, or The Reform Party?

Is there ANYBODY on this forum that believes that Queen Hillary would work for our best interests??

There are Hillary supporters here. I have posters say they intend to vote for her if either McCain or Guiliani are nominated.

Your guy runs up deficits to the moon

the deficit today is much smaller as a percentage of gdp than the deficits under reagan.

Doh! Aren't those the one's that come with the rain drops permanently attached? I may have seen that memo, but I'm going to plead the fifth.

I'm not a mushy conservative either. I'm just not a wrist slitter conservative.

I actually KNOW someone who said that. It's really scary. Granted, McCain vs. Hillary is NOT the election I want. But I will NEVER vote for Hillary.

"So get over the high-and-mighty attitude."

Interesting that you would think that, after the several snide replies you've directed my way. If I'm high and mighty, then what are you?

Because so many people from StormFront joined FR to drive the discussion?

You got me.

You're an interesting boy, Reg. You mock me for telling the truth about your past and present lies about me. I back it up with data, and then you keep telling me to back it up again, so that you can mock me again.

You're quite the piece of work.

)btw, everyone sees your post whining about 'squelched dissent.' I don't have to 'back that up.' YOU said it).

As for leaving...........that's a big LOL if you call me dishonest because I didn't back down from YOUR dishonesty about me. You lie again, I'll defend myself again.

But since this thread is neither about you OR me, this conversation is over.......at least unless you choose to lie again (which we BOTH know you did).

Just go lick your wounds, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and start telling the truth. I don't want to come back to FR in the morning and see that you're still deceiving yourself either..............I will, however, accept your apology, should you mature enough between now and then to offer it.

Taft, Goldwater and Reagan

Goldwater got killed in the election.

If winning is your sole criteria, you must support the Democrats about 50% of the time? I really don't get the whole "party over principle" thing that afflicts so many folks around here. I will vote for whatever candidate best represents my values. If he's a Republican----great. If he's third party, I have no problem going that route either.

That'd make a great tagline, Howlin. We've all heard about bleeding liberals. Now we seem to have some bleeding, wrist-slittin', conservatives. Bloody hell, is what it is.

FR is better known than all the other cheap imitation forums combined. Thus we have been singled out by both the DNC and DU for infiltration.

They've sent their Carville and Begala clones.

Your first post to me was 'butting in.'

Foggy again?

Gnite, Reg. I'll look for that apology tomorrow. :)
