I mean, it's utterly intellectual sewerage, these assertions I hear that homosexuality is not heavily steeped in pederasty.
You are just afraid of God's having anything to do with the nation. But he does, your fear of it notwithstanding.
I believe my response to you shows I know it WAS not insignificant concern. It remains so because we are still reaping the "rewards' of clinton's 'give, show and tell'.
I believe that the GOP should be campaigning nationally for House races saying to voters that they should elect Republicans unless they want to see President Bush impeached. Make no mistake, if the House goes Democratic, articles of impeachment will be passed in the House. If the Senate goes Democratic, unlike the Clinton episode, a Democratic Senate will convict President Bush on impeachment charges and remove him from office, possibly then trying him on some kind of criminal charges.
I never listen to this liberal propaganda whose sole purpose is to get the GOP voters to stay home on election day. They think if they feed this crap to the people they will believe it. I don't, I have seen enough of polls and naysayers in the last sevearl elections and it is always wrong and we always win.
And before you post anymore accusatory drivel, please allow me to tell you that I am a Christian, Protestant, believe in GOD, but don't want anything whatsoever to do with the likes of you. Go preach to the crowd in the religious section on FR and leave the news threads to those of us who want to discuss POLITICS.
LOL
Hunh?
Words formally marked.
Hunh?
This is the real kind of "last straw" that people who know which end is up get from this scandal. More, not fewer conservatives will be highly motivated, now, to vote for conservatives (and not for Foley RINO's).
</sarcasm>
I learn much from your posts! Keep on talking so I can get smarter.
That's all nice, and I'm glad you guys are having a love fest, but back to my original point- how do we address our consistently leftward tendencies as a nation? How do we restore the nation that this once was, with minimal government intrusion into our lives? Is this not the agenda of conservatism, and the founding fathers? The liberal mindset is lethal to freedom, but you sound like they're our partners or something, some perverse yin-yang deal.
I want these people stripped of influence. George Soros isn't worthy to attract attention. If the GOP wanted to, they could marginalize these creeps and expose them for the control freaks they are, but like I said- they get to DC and they realize that the Dems are needed as a unifying threat- because if they weren't around, guys like me would go immediately to the right.
So they play the game, and end up supporting guys like Specter over Toomey, or Martinez over McCollum. Katherine Harris same thing, but *horrors* she might actually win and oh, no, another conserative in the Senate! The GOP can't have that.
Do you know why Kerry got so many votes? Becasue he wasn't Bush. It's not because 50% of America is liberal, maybe 25-30% tops. Most people just look at gas prices and glance at the headlines- but a truly educated electorate is going to go right. The problem is, the GOP doesn't go for the jugular- not in a whiny, frantically off-the-hook Howard Dean way, but in a Macchiavellian way.
So stop defending the soft socialism of the Republicans and call it what it is. It's cancerous to America.
If you want to get a more conservative Congress, you have to keep the RINO's in office in order to give a cushion to conservatives, andto give conservatives more clout. Chafee's reelection would tell moderate Republican officeholders that it is safe to be a Republican, and would encourage them to stand up for more conservative issues.
I realize this is counterintuitive, but look at it this way. Why would a moderate back the GOP on any unpopular decision if he thinks that no matter what he does it isn't good enough for the conservatives? Wouldn't he instead do the "go along to get along" routine (especially in a fairly liberal state)?
As far as an educated electorate, we have DECADES in front of us in trying to get the schools reformed. Returning this country to its roots of responsibility and self-reliance is going to take at least 50 years, if not a century. Patience and perseverance, as well as intelligent choices in strategy, are the only methods that will work. I hope you are patient.
So the GOP's solution is to let Ted Kennedy write the education bill? Perfect!
Counterintuitive is right. I do not "understand". That logic isn't working for me.
Ted Kennedy did not write all of the education bill. The most important part is that there is testing and accountability required in order to get those federal funds you despise. The NEA HATES "No Child Left Behind" because they can't do their usual junk teaching and social promotion. There isn't TIME to do all of the liberal feel-good stuff if you have to be concerned about losing money because the kids are flunking the test; you have to actually teach them arithmetic and reading. This is why Kennedy keeps bellowing that the government isn't funding the program; he apparently didn't think that when the President said he wanted testing he really meant it. Now the NEA is mad and Kennedy realizes that the bill that he thought meant "free money for the NEA" isn't that at all.
Great to see you posting; hadn't realized you were back.
So what happened to vouchers? We pussed out. Now we have to take the long way around.
Free market competition would have drawn black voters and introduced freedom into the government education monopoly. We could have gotten it done, but the GOP gave up on us.
Same thing with tax reform. That stupid no-balls panel that they put together has taken every occasion to IGNORE the FairTax- wildly popular with almost everyone who understands it, liberal or conservative.
Same thing with SS reform. Privatization not even on the radar anymore.
The medical/insurance/lawsuit circle is still spinning nicely. Nothing has been done to deregulate it and introduce greater market freedom.
The list goes on and on. 1994 seems like so long ago. Some accomplishments have been made, but the irrelevance, depowerment and marginalization of the DNC is crucial to seeing any real progress.
