"Look, this is very popular with the senior citizens, you may not like it, but that this is the truth you have to face, and the senior citizens are the biggest voters"

This is one senior that thinks his race to socialism stinks.

BTW, I won't join that commie AARP either.

They have so little of substance to stand on...just vapid comments based on nothing of reality.

They do have some great delusions of grandeur. Just look at the magnificent plan to stop the government steamroller by putting a wrench in its works by and thereby obtaining the ultimate goal of anarchy! Yeah! That's the ticket!

A Democrat president with a Republican Congress will not move us any farther left than Bush is doing.
You couldn't be more wrong — from the Liberal judges apointed with liftime tenure to the Liberal bureaucrats that are placed throughout the government with career appointments to getting much of what they want even with an opposition Congress. And that's just for starters.

When the "choice" was twiddle dee or twiddle dumb...


Simplistic.

Clinton was no worse than Dole would have been.


Delusional.

If conservatives get to the point where they see Bush is as liberal as Dole he will be a one term president like his father and Carter.


You must have been one of those Clinton enablers back in '92.

...I believe he cares more about his political career than anything else and he can be moved to the right if he thinks he will lose the base.


Yeah, that worked just great in '92.......didn't it?

Reagan won two landslides by running on conservative issues. Bush pulled out a squeaker against a clown who even Clinton said was a bad campaigner, by running as a me too socialist.

Offering no choice on important issues is not the way to win over the people. Reagan proved a conservative can win big. Bush never learned that lesson.

I'm sorry but in my book ... anyone who thinks that Agore would have done a better job than Bush has is on the wrong site ... and I'm no Bush Bot

I believe idea advanced was that Gore would not have been allwoed to destroy our nation the way W is. Because the GOP majorities in Congress would have stopped him as they did Clinton.

ActionNewsBill asked you for facts and you run?

ROFLMAO.

You haven't answered a direct question on this forum in over a year.

I wouldn't be throwing THAT stone if I were you.

You are a fake and a fraud and are here to divide us.

Now is as good a time to make a stand as any.

And you're making a stand how, exactly? By posting on Free Republic? By Freeping the White House? By ultimately getting people to vote for a Democrat from the wonderful array of candidates currently in the running?

Who do you REALLY support as a presidential candidate? Be honest. (Use a Number 2 pencil and make sure the circles are completely darkened so we can clearly determine your answer.)

Freep Bush BUT GOOD!

Expecting that W would 'listen' and change his policies is naive. W and those who surround him do not listen. They have an agenda and their goal is to win one more term so that they may continue advancing theirn agenda.

Decent people's goal should be not to beg W to 'listen' but to defeat him.

I wonder if you think Ann Coulter is a Bush bot too?

I admire Ann Coulter but, sadly, she is morphing more and more into a GOP-bot and W-bot.

Such a waste of talent...

You may hate to admit it, but it's true. From Social Security, to Medicare, to subsidies, to "targeted tax cuts," to education spending, the American people are getting what they want.

Well stated post. It reminds me of an overweight person who knows he or she needs to lose those pounds but is addicted to donuts. Quick-fix diets aren't the answer. One has to change the available menu a little bit at a time. (IMO)

You're free to keep working to move the party to the left just like I'm free to try to move it to the right.

Your side is winning but don't expect some of us conservatives to join you. Whether it is a liberal Republican or a liberal Democrat makes no difference to me. I'd vote for Ralph Hall before I'd vote for Olympia Snow. I'd rather vote conservative than Republican.

We each have to vote as we think best. You and I just have different goals for the country.

I think that you've cut to the crux of the matter with most of the "real" conservatives on this board...or a handful of them at least.

in all due respect we should at least FReep him first because he has done many good things too. We would never of gotton some of the things we have if a rat was in office.

for me this is all about issues and each issue is seperate for the most part.

and socialism issues I do not take lite.

If you're saying that Klintoon did NOT severly damage this country ... you are smoking something that I'm sure is illegal
