Pshaaw.Spit in the ocean. Its going to be a tax hike when you take into account the AMT. Fiscal burden of government is still twice that of Communist China.
When did the Pubs vote against bearing arms?
All the time. "Assault" weapons ban. The crime bill of 68. NFA 34. Literally tens of thousands of state and local regs.
Did you notice that Bush eliminated Kyoto, a severe regulatory device that thankfully did not become law? Did you notice that he also refused to have our troops subject to an International war crimes court (more regulations from outside)? We still have liberty and the vote.
I was impressed by these things. Lousy public speaker but so far most of the policy calls have been on target. He needs to drop the Keynesian BS, tho. We also need to find something to replace the Bretton Woods system.
Your vote was wasted and in some states caused Pubs to lose. How can that be a plus? Sorry your were embarrassed by the wins, but you deserve to be embarrassed by our losses.
Look, I only voted in one state and I didn't cost a single Republican his or her position.
I'm embarrased that I actually believe the Republicans will live up to their rhetoric. I'm usually not so hopelessly naive.
As for Bush being a "lousy speaker" I disagree with you again. Bush did very well last year in his "we will get them" speech to Congress and exceedingly well when he addressed the UN. Can you really dispute that? If so, your standards are very high, possibly too high. I take his speeches and other utterances as highly superior to the lying/exaggerating/its-all-about-me trash talk that Klintoon spewed. I soon refused to listen to that immoral idiot and still find his speeches repugnant. I also enjoy President Bush's "down home" way of talking. It is not offensive to me at all or do I mind his occasional mispronounced words. We all do that, even you Libertarians.
