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?
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
Tell it like it is, Chunga! BRAVO!!!!!!
Which wins more, The GOP, The Constitution Party, or The Reform Party?
All right, way to go!
There are Hillary supporters here. I have posters say they intend to vote for her if either McCain or Guiliani are nominated.
the deficit today is much smaller as a percentage of gdp than the deficits under reagan.
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 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.
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.
Foggy again?
Gnite, Reg. I'll look for that apology tomorrow. :)
