Nicely said........especially the fact that we haven't had another attack....which by the way is the MAIN reason for Bush's unpopularity!!

Think about it!! The 10 second attention span types and the 60 minute solve the problems of the world types have already forgotten. In fact they now believe it was a fluke and won't ever happen again!!!

Thant being said you won't get through to the nattering nabobs of negativism that are growing ever more prevalent on FR.

If the president is concerned about being removed from office he should stop sucking up to special interest groups and do the right thing.We are only asking him to do what's in the best interest of the country.Why does he have a problem doing something he's supposed to do?I don't think we are being unreasonable for wanting secure borders and a sound immigration policy.

Folks, if the Democrats win the Congress this year, you ain't seen nothing yet. It will be a flyinp $hit storm for the next two to six years.

[Ditto]

The Red Meat, All of Nothing, single issue fanatics can drive every movement into the ground. The left wing "MoveOne fanatics have captured the Democrat Party and removed them from the realm of sanity.

The question is, can fanatics destroy the Republicans as well?

[roses of sharon]

LOL, love your BDS bait thread!

[Jedidah]

Amen and amen. A voice of reason on Free Republic.

I am thankful that we have not experienced another terrorist attack but am concerned that one will occur sooner rather than later due to our porous borders. Sure, we attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and are fighting terrorism around the world but we have left our borders wide open.

If Pedro and his eighteen brothers can get in so can Mohammed and his eighteen hijacker friends…

It's not what Bush and Congress are doing…it's what they are not doing…

And I haven't even mentioned deficit spending, H1B's and amnesty for illegals.

Basically if I get your post right, It's not the people in charges fault it's all ours?

I swear it's like there abusive lovers "you cant leave me you are nothing without me".

[Pukin Dog]

I would not worry. This web site is NOT the totality of Conservative thinking. It has also been infiltrated by many who would like nothing more than for the Conservative agenda to be defeated. We wont lose the Congress, in fact, things are going to happen to insure that we PICK UP seats by November. Just like in 2002.

[rattrap]

So basically we should vote for Ralph Nader if he puts an 'R' after his name...

Got it.

[packrat35]

Keep drinking the kool-aide and repeating everything is great over and over.

[staytrue]

I promise you, a Democratic Congress won't be nearly as responsive to your needs.

Bravo. Well Said.

[Centurion2000]

Deal with it. We're not on the Republican plantation.

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

Thank you for an intelligent well-thought out post. I completely and wholeheartedly agree with you. I am not willing to sacrifice my future or that of my children & grandchildren for a game of "teach 'em a lesson". The thought of the Progressive Caucus running the house makes me sick to my stomach.

[MACVSOG68]

Well stated. But unfortunately you're preaching to a lot of folks here whose only issues are abortion, homosexuality, creationism or demanding Bush round up 20 million illegal Latinos within the next two to three weeks. Anything outside of that, like the war on terror takes a very distant back seat. Some voted for Bush, not because he was eminently more effective at protecting the country than any of his opponents, but because they believed he could get the gay marriage ban amendment passed. Since he will not get that accomplished, they have already written him off in favor of Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid.

[mystery-ak]

Well said...and thanks for posting that....

[manwiththehands]

Define "conservatism".

[M203M4]

If it is down to between R and D, and you don't vote R, something is wrong inside your head.

That said, how you vote and you poll (etc) are different things. By admitting that you will always support R no matter what they do, you give no incentive for them to change course. Put their feet to the fire, make them afraid of losing your vote. Otherwise, if they think everything is safe within their traditional strongholds, their policies will branch out towards the mushy populist middle to "widen the margin". If there is no doubt that they will retain your support, this always happens. Scare the Republicans in the polls, but don't vote the dems into office (by staying home or otherwise).

Or just settle for the same old.

First, mwfsu84, it's good to see you on this forum, my Nole friend. This is UGAmbaFSUjd.

Second, I would not have believed our "WOT President" would be so determined to leave our borders wide open to any terrorists with the resources to walk over. They have. I'm waiting for it. And I've had enough of GWB's rhetoric and the party machine's disdain for conservatism. The only way to engineer change, after 3 decades of trying, is to let the party crumble for awhile and for the nation to once again learn the distinction, a la Carter/Reagan.

Don't weep for the GOP blind loyalists. They brought it on themselves.

[TheHound]

I became a Republican, and my very first vote was for Ronald Reagan. I am a Conservative and will vote so! If the Republican leave the Conservative movement, I leave the Republicans. Period.
