For the record:
To: HHKrepublican_2
For all the folks that are ready to throw GWB and the Republican party by the wayside , you have to acknowledge what that would accomplish....maybe not immediately, but certainly if you set the stage for any Dem President in 2008. If these sacrifices are worth it....go ahead.
Bush’s tax cut would be revoked.
His No Child Left Behind would be gutted (except for the money to the schools) guaranteeing ignorance from public school graduates.
The Medicare plan would drop private company’s participation and be totally government run and funded, just as Gore wanted.
There would be no chance for additional conservative judges to be appointed for any level, much less the Supreme Court.
Repeal of Roe v. Wade would be impossible.
Illegal immigrants would be given amnesty and citizenship, guaranteeing Dem control of many southwestern states. No wall, no nothing!
America would turn tail and run from Iraq, making OBL very happy, and letting the rest of the Muslim world know we are the wimps OBL says we are.
Iran will get a nuclear weapon.
Israel would be abandoned in favor of Palestine.
No new refineries, no nuclear plants, no drilling for oil or gas in the continental US would be allowed.
Labor unions will be running homeland security.
We can watch while every moonbat charge of the last six years is investigated by Congress....tying up the Administration and the military testifying.
No true conservative could allow a Dem win in November

You made the wrong choice and now we have Obama with all that entails. Its far worse than I imagined, because of the economic crisis that gives the Dems a blank check to do as they please.
As far as I’m concerned, “conservatives” like yourselves were no better than DNC operatives. When GWB, the Republican Party, and this nation needed support the most, you turned your backs on them.
Please go away now, you are irrelevant.
I'm sorry; I don't support Socialists.
The Republican Party had six years of control of the Federal Government. Instead of actually following through on promises made (e.g., the Contract with America) the most visible members of the Party tried to ram through amnesty for illegals, expanded the Federal Government's reach with Medicare Part D and other Socialist programs, and did nothing to reform Social Security or the tax code.
As for those tax cuts you speak of: they were paid for using borrowed money.
And now you and the rest of the Republican shills have the balls to come and compare us to DNC operatives? Sheesh.
It is very disheartening to see someone spew what you just did hear. I realize you think of yourself as a Conservative and are trying to do the right thing from your point of view, but you have really lost your way IMO.
Bush’s enhancement of Medicare was a mistake. His amnesty plan for illegal immigrants was a mistake. His failure to use his House and Senate majority for the fist six years of his presidency was a mistake.
Those who recognize these mistakes are not the problem. Those who wince at this latest plan to sign on the U.N.’s LOST Treaty are not to be dismissed as Bush haters. They are loyal Conservatives who truly understand what Bush’s mistakes have cost us. And Bush is making it clear right now, even if you thought he was well grounded in the past, he isn’t. He is a seriously problem. He has been and is doing these things in our name, in the name of Conservatism.
There is nothing Conservative about much of what Bush has done over the last eight years. We must be honest with ourselves. Nobody else is going to be. If Conservatives cannot own up to what has taken place, then far too many members are too far gone to recognize failed policy for what it is.
Take care.
“As far as I’m concerned, “conservatives” like yourselves were no better than DNC operatives. When GWB, the Republican Party, and this nation needed support the most, you turned your backs on them.”
I think you are suffering from acute intellectual myopia.
“Bush’s tax cut would be revoked.

All of this is going to happen precisely due to Bush II’s ineptitude. His own poor ratings in the polls together with the inappropriateness of the Republican nominee and the miserable campaign he ran contributed to Obama’s victory more than anything else.
And keep in mind who Bush II wanted to appoint to SCOTUS after he put in Roberts - the totally unqualified and unknown personal buddy of his Harriet Miers. Only a massive public outcry from people like US who were not Bushbots put Alitto on the SCOTUS
“llegal immigrants would be given amnesty and citizenship, guaranteeing Dem control of many southwestern states. No wall, no nothing!”
You’re joking, right?? Bush II more than any other modern President is responsible for the invasion of America from across the Mexican Border. He actively conspired with his buddies Fox and Caulderone to violate our immigration laws.
Ask border guards Ramos and Compean, sitting in solitary confinement because they shot a drug dealing drug lord who was also an illegal invader and Bush II’s puppet Sutton PERSECUTED them for it. No amnesty for them.
“America would turn tail and run from Iraq, making OBL very happy, and letting the rest of the Muslim world know we are the wimps OBL says we are.”
Don’t even go there. We never should have committed ourselves to making a purse out of a sow’s ear in Iraq. We should have moved right out after taking out Saddam and his military.
“Iran will get a nuclear weapon.”
If we moved on to support the rioting students in Iran after we took out Saddam, instead of nation-building, this probably wouldn’t be a problem. By the way, the Bush II Administration specifically nixed an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities just a few weeks ago. Check it out in the archives here in this forum.
“Israel would be abandoned in favor of Palestine.”
Bush has been a very weak friend of Israel’s A few summers ago, he and the ruler of Israel blew their chances to take out Hezbollah in southern Jordan when they had them pinned down for a slaughter. Bush and his administration, through his surrogate and long-time family pal (funny how those family connections keep getting int he way of qualified candidates?) Condi Rice recognized the butcher state of Palestine, and lacking a personal direct appeal to Bush II by Olmert, Rice was fully prepared to vote for a U.N. resolution condemning Israel for attacking Gaza a few days ago.
(Amazing what I can learn from this forum!!)
“No new refineries, no nuclear plants, no drilling for oil or gas in the continental US would be allowed.
Labor unions will be running homeland security.”
Yup. Again, because Obama won the election in 2008, which was the victory Bush’s ineptness contributed to.
(By the way, the original ban on off shore drilling by executive order was issued by Bush I, and Bush II only lifted it well after gasoline prices - and voter tempers - had skyrocketed, helping ease the recession forward, and Republican defeats onwards in 2008.)
“No true conservative could allow a Dem win in November”
I voted for McNutjob, contributed to his campaign and worked on his campaign locally - not because I liked McNutjob, (I voted for Duncan Hunter in the Primary) but because I didn’t want a Democrat in the White House.
“You made the wrong choice “
No. You made the wrong assumption.
Now stop arguing with me and start working for a conservative candidate in 2010 for Congress and a real conservative in 2012 for President. And stay away from political PACs set up by McNutjob.
And remember, just say “No” to any more Bushes.
One question: who turned their backs on who?
Personally, on balance, I remain a GWB supporter. He was right on the one issue that defined his presidency -- the War on Terror.
However, over his last two years, virtually every policy he has pursued was directly opposed to the policies his own voters supported.
Why shouldn't that leave us unhappy?
A conservative turning his back on Bush had a good chance of getting a knife in it.
For the record, Duh-bya turned his back on America when, in 1999 he uttered, "There ought to be limits to freedom."
Everything else he's done has been in support of that statement.
Please go away now, you are irrelevant.
Sorry, bucko. I was hear long before you arrived and will still be here long after you've gone.
