I'll give Bush my support, if he fullfills one campaign promise, ending the partisanship in Washington. I even have a method for him to accomplish this task.

President Bush Resigns From Republican Party?

By: Matthew B. Rogers

Ever wonder what would happen if President Bush resigned from the Republican Party. I’m sure a Democrat would ridicule this statement and a Republican will probably resent the thought of the President betraying the Grand Old Party. It might be the quickest way to set our Nation back in the direction our Founding Fathers intended for the people of the United States.

I don’t remember a time in recent history when the Democratic Party has been as divided as it is now. Even in the City of Chicago we are seeing opposition within the ranks, traditionally the Clergy of Chicago has backed most Democratic Policies. Some among them are now starting to have new thoughts about the Government Entitlements delved out to the chosen few by Partisan Politicians. Their programs face extinction, unless they bow down to the demands of the favored, who don’t respect their values.

The current Daley administration has recently been accused of protecting the interests of developers, by neglecting law enforcement in certain neighborhoods, causing depreciated property values, and allowing large tracts to be purchased cheaply. Such accusations are nothing new in Chicago, but when the division takes prominence in the Chicago SunTimes, the Cities tribute to liberalism, we should pay attention.

Across our Nation core groups of liberal interests are seeing the depletion of their funding and facing extinction of their programs, while the favored few build super funds on the backs of the American Tax Payer. As the neglected groups scramble for the limited private funding available, they can start to rethink how our Tax & Spend Government limits the availability of such funds.

We have heard the arguments against School Vouchers, how they take funding away from Public Schools. Now the truth is coming out, Public Schools limit Private Funding and Educational Choice. Public Funding does not and will never, provide diversity in special interest programs, and the liberal belief that it will, is proof of their backward thinking.

President Bush appeals to these core liberal groups, because he has not closed the door on government funding, but has tried to incorporate diversity in Public Funding through his Faith Based Initiative. This program offends the far left because of the supposition of God in the title, but the Federal Entitlements it offers, will be too much for them to pass up, especially since the program will elevate environmentalism to the status of a Religion. The Entitlements also offend Constitutionalists and Libertarians and they are unlikely to back down, unfortunately that won’t be enough to stop its passing through Congress.

If the President resigned from the Republican Party, he could split many centrist Democrats who have been ignored by their own party. President Bush has successfully adapted many Democratic Policies. After he signed the compromise of his tax cut into law, the Democrats were quick to complain it cut out the Child Care Tax Credit. Instead of pointing out that the Democrats cut the funding of child care for people who pay no taxes, by not accepting his original proposal, the President encouraged the passage of a Child Care Bill so he could sign it into law and silenced the criticism from the Democrats.

The Democrats will also face the threat of having their constituency split during this campaign cycle by Ralph Nader, who has announced he is still leaning towards his own run for the Presidency. Nader draws upon the ignorance of the campus idealists, the front runners in the Democratic Primary are also leftist idealists who will have to compete with Nader for the campus vote.

By the time the election comes around the Democrats’ voter base will still be looking for an acceptable identity, that doesn’t make them look like a bunch of kitty whipped ineffectuals, who don’t deserve the respect needed to represent the People.

Many conservatives believe the President’s compromises have been little more than pandering, with the recent increase of Federal Spending, $15 billion for aids in Africa and offering Turkey $30 billion for an easement we didn’t need, while still neglecting to secure our own Borders. Many view the over 2 million foreigners on work visas currently in the country as unmanageable and a threat to the 8 million unemployed U.S. citizens. Some don’t believe the Presidents tax cuts will accomplish anything but encourage more foreigners to enter our Country and take more jobs away from citizens or cause more jobs to be outsourced over seas.

The President’s Policies have offended many conservatives the Democrats have offended many of their own. If Bush resigned from the Republican Party he would successfully split both parties and force all Americans to consider other alternatives to the 2 Party Monopoly that has been betraying our Freedoms for so long.

Don’t hold your breath for the President to resign the Republican Party, it could fulfill his greatest campaign promise; to end the partisanship in Washington. But it would take a lot of courage and a lot of love for one’s country to take the independent path to bring your Nation back to the security of its own Independence. The President could probably win on independent slate, and send an encouraging message about civic responsibility and there would probably be a record increase in voter turn out. He would make a lot of enemies amongst the Bureaucratic elite who love to spit on the people from their suites in D.C. while they feed off our tax dollars.

The reality is the intelligence of the American People may be too great a variable to risk such a move by the President. We have been dumbed down to the point that we may never be able to recognize when the opportunity arises to gain back our Freedoms and we may be collectively stupid enough to vote in favor of socialism. But if ever this Nation had a chance to silence the socialists’ debates in our Congress, and return to our Constitution, the moment has come.

The next 18 months promise to be very interesting, even for a freedom hating two party monopoly.
