“Bush campaigned as a compassionate conservative. “
Asl Ramos and Compean about his “compassion”. Apparently only Scooter Libby is worthy of it.’
“He was never a hard core conservative. “
Really? Where has the “conservative” in compassionate conservative really gone?
“He never promised to murder all the illegal aliens in the United States— and yes I will grossly misinterpret your views just like you do with President Bush. Please don’t complain about being misinterpreted.”
I really can’t dignify that comment with a response - but one of the PRIMARY duties of ANY government is to protect its borders against invasions. He has failed to do that. He has openly conspirted with the Mexican government against our border laws, our border guards and our national integrity.
“You have no accomplishments because you are not a public figure.”
I made a choice - so did Bush. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
“President Bush has demonstrated extraordianary leadership.”
His “leadership” has destroyed the Republican Party, given the Democrats control of COngress and may very well put a socialist Muslim with extreme ego problems in the White House.
“Bush pursued the agenda that voters elected him for.”
Bush did not do this. His failure to do so impacted his popularity.
“You may not have noticed but there was a brief insurrection here on Free Republic trying to knife Sarah Palin in the back on immigration just like you and so many others did on immigration reform with Bush. She will be got just like Bush. Everything is amnesty. The term is so completely fluid that every Republican who is not opposed to all legislation can be denounced.”
I support a form of limited amensty - but not unless our borders are secured and the rogue state of Mexico brought to heal and employers who wax fat on the labor of illegal aliens are put out of business.
“What am i doing to help the nation? “
Actually I’m working for McCain.
“You are wasting your time trying to convince me that President Bush is bad. People who bash Bush are bad but he is not.”
The don’t criticize the leader mentality belongs in NAZI Germany, not in a free Republic. My loyalty is to principles of government, not to any individual human beings.
Rest assured— I can take the heat as can President Bush. But take notice, once I applied some misinterpretation fun to you, your character faltered.
I cannot think of an occasion when President Bush belittled by his unanimously ungrateful nation referred to his opponents as Nazis.
Moreover, I am not worshipping a man. I am defending the policies and actions of President Bush. There is a difference.
But I am the Nazi now and you are the anti-Nazi— good for you.
You also let slip that you are working for McCain. So sadly, you are saddled with advocacy rather than just sitting back and criticizing the imperfections of President Bush. So let’s take a look at Senator McCain— your selected advocacy:
Realize, on Tuesday I will go to the polls and vote for John McCain. I am going to do that because Barack Obama would be a nightmare of public policy. I actually think John McCain will pull it off. With that said, let’s get a few things clear about John McCain:
1. John McCain was defeated in 2000 by . . . George W. Bush. Like Gore and Kerry, George W was a much better option than John McCain. So we took a good look at John McCAin in 2000 and spit him out.
2. John McCain thinks that democrats are good and decent public servants. He thinks conservatives are a necessary evil in public life. His conduct and actions have made that clear. He holds the Christian right in contempt.
3. The primary basis for thinking McCain is potentially decent is Governor Sarah Palin. McCain confronted the ugly reality that he is not trusted by conservatives and conservatives were willing to sit it out in significant margins to such an extent that he had no alternative.
4. John McCain worked to limit our freedom of speech in the McCain Feingold bill.
5. John McCain cooperated with democrats to block conservative judicial appointments.
6. John McCain believes in human induced global warming and seeks limits on economic productivity in order to appease the warming statists.
7. John McCain has on a variety of issues shown a willingness to betray the conservative base in the Congress.
8. With a Democratic Congress, McCain will continue with this practice to an extent that will make President Bush look like welcomed relief.
Saying all of that, I will happily vote for John McCain on Tuesday. I understand politics lesser of evil principals. They make perfect sense. I do not think McCain will be a better President than Bush. I think Palin would probably be better— perhaps.
In proving Bush wrong you must prove Kerry and Gore right— which would again be utter foolishness.
You are just looking for excuses. I admire your courage admitting to limited amnesty. That surprises me.
