Bush Was a Statist, Not a Conservative

...your idiot attack dogs...these two bozos...

Their bites are far worse than their barks.

You can't say I didn't warn you.

[rabscuttle385]

Hey, instead of summoning these two bozos, why don't you try explaining why Ron Paul's kooky isolationism is good for America?

Because Ron Paul is not the topic of this thread.

Now, why don't you try explaining how Bush's open borders and amnesty policy was good for America.

[mkjessup]

First of all fool, how about pinging people when you start talking smack about them?

Now understand something and get it through your thick head:

Attacking the messenger (in this case Rabs) is exactly what Saul Alinsky recommended to his leftist stooges, and you certainly qualify as a stooge, although I'm not going to go so far as call you a leftist. Rabs primary target is McCain, and in case you didn't get the memo, JimRob himself despises McCain like a Baptist despises original sin, so get with the program.

The Arizona primary is not about Ron Paul, in fact Rabs is on record as denouncing Ron Paul's endorsement of that idiot Kokesh, ditto for Paul's embracing left wing agitators. You've obviously not been paying attention.

Now as for Sarah Palin, if her last name was 'Smith', she would already have been utterly condemned by most if not all FReepers for making statements that she "shares" the same vision for America that John McCain has. She would likewise have been hooted out of the limelight for her recent statements praising that pathetic RINO chairman of the RNC, Michael Steele. You want more? Justify Sarah's outrageous attempt to co-opt the Tea Party movement on behalf of John McCain, claiming that THEY support McCain when the truth is, they do NOT?

Her endorsement of McStain goes way beyond endorsement, as she is running commercials 24 hours a day over the Arizona airwaves, and if you have doubt about that, check with SJB who is 'on the ground', he hears them every time he turns on his damn TV or radio!

Now every time you and your knee-jerk buddies drag that 'kooky Ron Paul' red meat into a thread, it only demonstrates your lack of any true counterpoints, the Arizona primary is NOT about Ron Paul, Ron Paul has little to zero influence over the outcome of that primary, but get a clue Magoo: Sarah Palin DOES, and if by the slimmest of margins she drags John McTraitor across the finish line, SHE will be responsible for, and will bear shared blame for, any and all of King RINO's antics and BS over the next 6 years, and a good conservative (J.D. Hayworth) will go down to defeat BECAUSE of Sarah Palin.

What you and the Palin Posse' fail to comprehend is that all of the good Sarah is doing so far as the Tea Party movement (her appearances, speeches, etc), is being undermined by her simultaneous support for RINOs like McCain, Steele, etc. McCain and Steele (just to name two) are part of the PROBLEM in the GOP, and supporting them is NOT the answer!

I'll break this down into a simpler concept/analogy that you may be able to grasp:

"Welcome to the Sarah Palin Conservative Lumber Yard! All kinds of solid conservative products for you to embrace! No matter what your political construction needs, Sarah has what you need! And Sarah stands behind her conservative products! Buy them all for your upcoming American restoration project and get a FREE crate of genuine, ravenous, snarling, ready-to-start-munching TERMITES! Yes you heard right, we said TERMITES!"

Get it now? Sarah is unwittingly sabotaging her own efforts with her embrace of, and her support for the likes of McCain, Steele and other RINOs. Does it mean we wouldn't support her if she were the 2012 GOP nominee? NO, despite doubts, I would pull that lever for Sarah a LOT easier than I did for that SOB McCain in 2008.

Now try digesting that D2T, and next time ping somebody when you start talkin' about them, and have a nice day.

"Idiot Attack Dogs", I like that Rabs.

You run into Idiots, SJB and I are happy to "Attack" :)

(You run into any more Idiots, SJB and I will be happy to start chompin' away on 'em, LOL)

[dools007]

OK, we agree then. I don’t even want to talk about new taxes before the other three things are done.

Bush the elder was a statist and a liberal. Bush the junior was a good man, but an otherwise empty suit surrounded by statists.

“There you go again, picking on Republicans :) shame on you! (Am I the first to lecture here?? Do I get a free toaster?) “

Well, you might get toasted......

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Both major political parties are consumed by special interests, and personal freedom has been obscured by the flowery rhetoric.”

The rhetoric ain’t even that flowery.

[sickoflibs]

Bush kept us safe by taking the fight to them!

[stephenjohnbanker]

“I’ve only been saying the same damn thing since the argument was Bush Vs McCain for the Millennium election for the GOP top slot. My point then, as it still is today, is that neither of them are real conservatives. That at best they are RINO’s. “

Yes, D. C. ............at best!

“Now if we can just keep the GOP and the MSM from saddling us with Bob Dole Mark II with a Romney/Huckabee/Guiliani/Pawlenty candidacy in 2012...”

I still believe our REAL war is with the GOP/RNC RINO Complex. The MSM cannot promote a RINO that isn’t there to promote.

RE :”OK, we agree then. I don’t even want to talk about new taxes before the other three things are done.”

You can see that the forces are out their now trying to convince us that only higher taxes will save the country. Of course none of them were telling us that when Obama and democrats (and to a lesser extent you-know-who) were running up the debts. It was a big scam from the start. They were calling all Obama’s spending ‘investments’.

The scam of a lifetime:

Step 1 : To claim all the ‘experts’ recommend the federal government run up huge debts to ‘save’ the economy while promising us we will not have to pay for it, only the rich will. To call the spending 'investments'.

Step 2 : Then bring in all the ‘experts’ to tell us they must cut our social security, medicare and raise our taxes to fix 'the deficit'. Those experts are like Al Gore's experts, the point is to get the MSM to repeat it. Where the hell were these deficit hawks the past year or so?

[stephenjohnbanker]

“And those same republicans ask: “Miss us yet?” “

Reagan, from the grave: N O

Jackie Mason, POTUS: “ Oh my God, look what Bush left me! Nobody ever left anything like this! We gotta spend a trillion bailing out these inveterate gamblers on Wall Street! We gotta invest a trillion more putting Americans back to work! I can’t believe Bush did this to me!

One year later.......

Jackie Mason POTUS (slapping forehead) Oh my God, look at those deficits! I tell ya, I never seen deficits like this! There is no way we can sustain these kinda deficits! We can’t even pay the interest on these deficits!

[sickoflibs]

LOL, perfect. Jackie and I must think alike !

[mkjessup]

You got it FRiend!

It is an inconvenient truth (w/NO apology to Al Ghoul) that Jimmy Carter had MORE vetoes during his brief 4 year slow-motion train wreck, than George W. Bush had in his EIGHT years in office.

The federal government expanded under GWB in ways unseen since the Great Society days of LBJ.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“why don’t you try explaining why Ron Paul’s kooky isolationism is good for America? “

And all this time I was under the impression that John McCain was running for Senator in my home state of Arizona! It was, in fact, RON PAUL, ladies & gentleman! How could I make a mistake like this? And I don’t know anything about him! What shall I do??

But...but Sarah Palin is running ads every day all over Arizona telling us how majestic and conservative John McCain is. How? Why? All of those Palin ads on Rush and Hannity!! Advertising on those shows is expensive! And every day too! She doesn’t know it is really Paul that is running either! Somebody get a hold of her....at once!!!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

You do!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Ping to 96.....

[sickoflibs]

John McCain kept us safe by taking the fight to them!

[stephenjohnbanker]

McCain seems to have dedicated the balance of his miserable life to defeating arch conservative, J.D. Hayworth.
