You don't think calling President Bush a "socialist" is bashing? Or any other names? Or how about lying about him? Not to mention what the rest of us are called because we support him. You see the women on here that support Pres Bush are not smart enough to know better according to the Bashers. We are "stupid" just like they call the President! We are far from stupid if you haven't noticed.
If you want to Bash the President go ahead -- but the Bush supporters will counter right back! We are not going to take the bashing lying down and have gone on the offensive!
And I am really tired of seeing conservative principles thrown around here like the far right has the only answers. The rest of us cannot be "true" conservatives unless we threaten to stay home and not vote if President Bush doesn't do everything we want him to do according to some. I have news for you 96% of Republican conservatives support President Bush so I have a feeling there are a lot like me that will do everything we can to see him elected!
The so-called conservative movement of the last 20 years, starting with the Reagan revolution of the 1980s, followed by the 1994 Gingrich takeover of the House, and culminating in the early 2000s with Republican control of both Congress and the White House, seems a terrible failure today. Republicans have failed utterly to shrink the size of government; instead it is bigger and costlier than ever before. Federal spending spirals out of control, new Great Society social welfare programs have been created, and the national debt is rising by more than a half-trillion dollars per year. Whatever happened to the conservative vision supposedly sweeping the nation?
One thing is certain: those who worked and voted for less government, the very foot soldiers in the conservative revolution, have been deceived. Today, the ideal of limited government has been abandoned by the GOP, and real conservatives find their views no longer matter.
Those aren't my words. They are Ron Paul's. So...are you a 'real' Conservative?
It doesn't look like 96% on this thread.
