I think the writers are writing about someone other that GW.

I think the writers are writing about someone other that GW.

I'd have to agree. The only difference between President Bush and Gore is how Afghanistan and Iraq are being handled everything else would be the same.

[meenie]

They are writing about someone who has international socialism goals that resemble George Bush. Could they be writing about him? Probably.

[Pharmer]

Sorry, forgot my tin hat...

[deport]

Two yr old article......

Question... who do you think will win the Presidency in 2004? One of the nine democrats or President Bush?

[IVote2]

I am becoming very tired of Newsmax and their negativity towards GW.

[MissAmericanPie]

It's hard to say, things have to be factored in, vote fraud, voter turn out, the economy, jobless rate, many things can happen in the next sixteen months.

Bush has really rolled the dice, it's impossible to know if he has pandered enough to grab some marxist votes for the Republican Party. In either case, I have come to realize since the 2000 elections that both parties are intensely determined to make an end to the influence of the son's and daughter's of the American Revolution and their constitution. I don't think all politicians are of this mind set, but enough movers and shakers are that can influence the direction we are taking, and do.

[MissAmericanPie]

It's not what they say about GW that is the point, I'm more interested in what they say about Free Trade and Free Trade Zones.

Bush´s definition of America first does not translate from Third Way middle-speak into plain old American English as a daring defense of the U.S. Constitution and U.S. sovereignty. It is more like a lordly, bossy reminder of whose interests must always come first when it comes to the world – those of America´s global/socialist elites

Think I've seen that idea somewhere else. Now where have I seen that idea....Oh yes.

But we cannot safely avoid the responsibilities of global leadership or the costs that are associated with its exercise. America has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of this century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American leadership.

Note not one mention of the Constitution in their statement of principles either

Google "commonwealth of the Americas".

[Mind-numbed Robot]

There are several of you who always appear early on these anti-Bush, anti-Republican threads, John Galt and weenie among them. I assume you coordinate before posting, sort of like the Dems sending out the talking points.

Bush sort of told the UN, NATO, the Kyoto crowd, etc., to stick it, he was going to do what was best for America even if he had to do it alone, didn't he? Then, unlike many others, he did it. Does that sound like a globalists socialist to anyone of you.

Free trade is the epitome of free enterprise, not Communism. Typically, you on the left try to twist it around and make black into white, up into down, free enterprise into Communism, etc. Give it up. No one pays any attention to you.

[MissAmericanPie]

Your handle suits you. And you will do just fine having your life ordered by those appointed not elected. The article has more to do with where Free Trade leads than with Bush. Free Trade is not free when it is artificially manipulated.

[MissAmericanPie]

Hahaha, this could apply to both parties but for the fact the Democrats have two skinny arms.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

The only place Bush puts "America First" is in Foreign Policy. What about domestically? What about illegal immigration? What about legal immigration? What about H1B and L1s? What about Fair Trade? What about the dollar being high? What about border safety? Why is American Last on these issues?

[Consort]

...everything else would be the same.

Your friend Al would also cut taxes? Sign a ban on partial birth abortion this fall? Support school vouchers? Nominate conservative judges and justices? Is that what your hero, AL Gore, would do? Are you French?

Oh yeah....The Dems are going to fix all that the first chance they get.

[ladyinred]

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. The same ones scream about their rights if they think homeland security is going to say boo to them, yet they all complain constantly about the attempts to secure this nation better.

[Miss Marple]

And you will do just fine having your life ordered by those appointed not elected

Just who was "appointed, not elected?"
