Richard Lessner: Conservatives Can Defeat Drug Bill

Wow. You are telling me that public dissent is unacceptable during election times?

You very well could be living in the wrong country.

I was going to ask where in the Constitution do you have the right to government subsidized prescription drugs, but I think we need to just stick to the Bill of Rights with this one.

[Cathryn Crawford]

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I have some doubts it's going to be a close one. I think Bush is way more popular than he was in 2000, plus he's an encumbent. And I don't think we are going to see a strong Dem unless Hillary runs.

It's always acceptable for a Bush hater.

You must recognize the hole you've gotten yourself into, since you're falling back on that.

Yet again, you've refused to answer my questions. You don't have an answer, do you?

[Sparta]

I knew that one was in there somewhere, thanks.

[Cathryn Crawford]

Some people miss that one.

You hysterical child. Maybe you can ask some of your girlfriends for help on this one . . .'William McKinley; ValenB4; Sparta; Lazamataz; gcruse; Dan from Michigan'

[Cathryn Crawford]

Let's see. So far you've called me a hysterical child and a Bush-hater, and have refused to answer reasonably and calmly any questions that I have asked you.

Would you like to make yourself look as though you have a modicum of respectibility and actually answer any of the issues?

So, I'm assuming you're one of those types who believes if you disagree with any of Bush's policies, you're an enemy of America, a Bushhater, etc.

Let me tell you something. I like President Bush personally. I like most of his foreign policy. I like some of his domestic agenda. I think he's a good man. I will probably vote for him in 2004.

However, when Bush does something that is not good for the country, like this plan, I will criticize him publically. You will not silence me or anyone else on this forum.

Bush as a person is out of bounds, however, his policies are fair game for criticism.

You forgot aboot jmc813.

[Cathryn Crawford]

And out of curiousity, I noticed you said this in regards to Bush's reelection:

I have no doubt it's going to be a close one.

Why do you think that's so? (I'm not disagreeing with you.)

Cat, do you really need my help with this guy? :)

[Cathryn Crawford]

Cat, do you really need my help with this guy? :)

No, I think I'm doing just fine, even for a hysterical child. :-)

Can you imagine being a Conservative in Alabama who, in November 2002 was celebrating over the election of a conservative Governor?

Having said that, when are our conservative politicians going to learn when you make deals with the libs, you ALWAYS come out at the losing end?

"Why do you think that's so? (I'm not disagreeing with you.)"

Do you really wonder why? He's got the liberals and/or the Bush haters attacking him 24/7.

"You forgot aboot jmc813."

You were only worthy of a '...'

Oh, come on. Every president has people attacking him 24/7. Some still manage to get re-elected.

[Sparta]

Oh, come on. Every president has people attacking him 24/7. Some still manage to get re-elected.

Actually, most still manage to get re-elected, by landslides a'la Reagan.

I hate to admit it, but that was a pretty good one.
