"Other factors" like a massive increase in the size of the federal gov't, Patriot Act, open borders, huge deficits, CFR, and a sour economy

Ah yes the typical malcontent laundry list. Where do I start?

Well I will start that Bush is pushing tax cuts, a demo would be increasing your taxes.

Huh I have been posting an article where conservative activists and a big star in the pro-2nd amendment movement, Grover Norquist, help put the kibosh to a proposal by the Ashcroft Justice Dept., which would give local law enforcement more power in prosecuting illegal immigration. Huh, not a peep from you about that proposal.

Two of America's most prominent conservative leaders and a former Democrat ambassador and Boston mayor have written a letter to President Bush opposing a Justice Department proposal that would permit state and local law enforcement agencies to track down illegal immigrants as a way to fight terrorism.

David Keene, Chairman of the American Conservative Union, Grover Norquist president of Americans for Tax Reform - a top political analyst - and former Boston mayor and ambassador to the Vatican Ray Flynn who heads the Catholic Alliance took the side of police officials and immigrant rights activists in urging the president to prevent the proposal from being implemented.

Police officials across the nation have already criticized the idea, warning that it would endanger their relations with immigrants. especially because they would be reluctant to report crimes fearing they might be exposed to charges of immigration law violations.

According to the New York Times' Eric Schmitt, on Friday the three men wrote to the President complaining that the plan, now being reviewed by Attorney General John Ashcroft, would create a dangerous precedent because it would empower local authorities to become enforcement tools of the federal government.

"If local police are to enforce our immigration laws, will they soon be required to seek out and apprehend those who violate our environmental laws, or the Americans with Disabilities Act as well?" the three men wrote.....

Keene, Norquist Oppose Bush Plan

So you go on with your faxed laundry list from the nuts at the GOA, Mulder. I'm here to expose your agenda.

CFR

I also see that you haven't noticed that CFR has blown up in the face of democrats. Their supply of soft money(i.e unlimited donations from a small base of rich donors) has dried up, while the Republican, who have basically relied on small donations from average people, for the bulk of their donations, is running a 4 to 1 advantage in the fundraising race.

BTW, I think the most vile part of CFR(the ad bans) will be thrown out by the courts.

Let me put the above italicized phrase, in a more apt way.

I'm here to be the skunk in your perpetual, malcontent garden party.

Bush is cutting taxes by 1% when he should be cutting them by 30% like Reagan did.

Bush didn't even propose a tax cut during the campaign. It was only after Forbes and Quayle pushed tax cuts, that the Bush team advocated them. But I do give him some credit for implementing them.

As for raising taxes, a dem WILL do that, thanks in part to Bush spending money like a drunken sailor and running massive deficits as a result. It's the good cop/ bad cop paradigm.

What's that got to do with anything? Anyway, Norquist isn't the one leaving our borders wide open. He has no power to enforce, propose, or enact any laws.

I'm here to expose your agenda.

LOL.... expose away.... Although I'll make it simple for you by explaining that my "agenda" is the Constitution and individual Freedom.
