I should have repeated that I was not necessarily including you but rather the collective buzzing of the swarm of Bush Bots that infest this forum.
IMO, PresBush is a conservative and voting for him doesn't intrude on my basic conservative principles.
You think Bush is conservative uh? Well, how would you describe a president that has not ONCE after nearly 3 years in office vetoed even one bill from Congress? Or thinks it's a great idea to spend 15 billion dollars for Aids treatments in Africa while our Veterans Healthcare funding gets the knife. Or that Ted Kennedy's NEA approved voucherless doubling of the education budget is what it takes to turn the public school system around. Or that the freedom of speech squelching McCain/Feingold CFR bill is noble bill after all. Or that it is better to turn America into a police state under the "Patriot Acts" than control our out of control immigration and halt all immigration from terrorist harboring middle east nations. Or that our borders should remain wide open to the Invasion from Mexico and anyone that wants come here and squat or do harm to this country--even after 9/11. Or that it's wise to form a one-way trading relationship with a belligerent communist country where freedom and liberty are non-existent and slave labor is a way of life. Or that what America really needs in the midst of a recession is YET more One Way Trade deals like NAFTA. Or that despite our HUGE budget deficit it is necessary to one up LBJ's Great Society and Socialize prescription drugs to an elderly class that has more wealth than any other age group in the country. Or that Mexico’s Illegal Aliens should be included in OUR (soon to be bankrupt) Social Security System.
Ya know with Bush I could go on all night but the better question is:
IF GEORGE BUSH IS A CONSERVATIVE THEN WHAT THE HELL IS A LIBERAL? Some Stalinist that goes house to house and evicts people from their homes at gunpoint? Maybe that's the extreme debasement of political labels we have reached today.
Although I can't agree with his record spending levels in his first term. He does have a full plate right now.
You bet he does. And he keeps on stacking that plate fuller all the time.
OTOH, Arnold isn't even a moderate conservative or a fiscal conservative. He's a liberal RINO! Period.
Arnold is the only republican that has a chance of winning. Given the alternative he most certainly deserves a crack at the bat. If he turns out to be a RINO Sellout like Bush then he doesn't deserve to be re-elected. It's really that simple. Like many conservatives I voted for Bush and gave his campaign a lot of my time and money. Since he has demonstrated that he does not have a conservative bone in his body and wants to continue on with his Dad’s and Clinton's plan of turning America into some industry barren 3rd World ZOO I will most certainly not vote for Bush. Nor will I contribute to the republican party insanity of attempting to out Dim the Dims that defines Bush’s stewardship of this once respectable party.
Over and Out.
Thank God!
