I have no idea what you are talking about. You make up a lie to question me with. How am I supposed to respond?

[FreeInWV]

Ping for later

[samtheman]

Put down the beer and focus on the screen. Here's a recap:

I posted a little ditty about Bush pandering to the people who slander him.

You said "that's a little harsh".

I said, "what, don't you think they slander him?"

You said, "read post #2".

I said (correctly), "Post#2 is merely your note to yourself that you plan to read this article later, so what am I supposed to get from that."

You said, "Post #13"

I said, "Post #13 is my post, not yours."

And now you are saying you have no idea what I'm talking about.

I don't think you have any idea what English words and sentences are talking about.

Back to school, kinoxi.

This time sit in the front row and stop trying to look up the girl's dresses and listen to the teacher and watch what's written on the blackboard.

(Your a nice kid but you don't listen to a word I say.)

I'm afraid Bush is headed to the left of center. He's already indicated that he's well on the way. When Republicans were in control he was center right. Now that the dems are in control he will want to go back to the "new tone" way of doing business for legacy building. It's going to be a very sad and maddening time in DC over the next two years...

[Mel Gibson]

The tragedy is that the Republican Congressional leadership in the House and Senate, by and large, rubber stamped unconstitutional Bush Administration policies, instead of fulfilling responsibilities of oversight and independent judgment as intended by the framers of the U.S. Constitution which made the Legislative Branch of our government primary in our Federal system.

"One can only hope that, during a time of partisan gridlock, Republicans in Congress will manifest a degree of independence from unwise Bush Administration policies and that the President himself will stand against unwise policies of the new Democrat Party majorities in Congress.

"Tragically, during the campaign season just ended, in most parts of the country, conservative voters, in order to manifest their unhappiness, were put in a position of either (a) holding their nose and voting for Republicans with whom they disagreed, (b) staying away from the polls, or (c) voting for imperfect Democratic candidates.

Howard Phillips is an honest, bona fide Conservative (not some globalist, New World Order Son of a B(i@tch)ush wimp (who won't confront the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which is not a democracy but a demonocracy and bears responsibility for the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, not Iraq), warmed over, extinct dinosaur Rockefeller wing "compassionate" pseudo conservative).

Thank you for posting, good post mortem!

Now that the dems are in control he will want to go back to the "new tone" way of doing business for legacy building.

And you know what, if he wants to sell us down the river --- meaning completely abandon even the slightest attachment to conservative principles of economics and government --- that's one thing. He's almost certainly going to do that.

But the big question is, will he also sell the US soldiers in Iraq down the river? Will he also sell the Iraqi people down the river? I listened to Tony Snow yesterday and was impressed. He stressed that Bush remains 100% committed to victory and he defined that victory very clearly: a friendly Iraq government that can stand on its own and be an ally in the WOT.

If that's true, then I will be a critic of Bush for pandering to the RATS, but I will still honor him as Commander In Chief.

If, on the other hand, he does the unthinkable, then he is not only flushing any reason to respect him down the toilet, he's flushing his legacy, and the lives of many of the best Americans, down the toilet too.

Dear President, I implore you. Do NOT cut-n-run.

[KoRn]

I expect he will continue the war on terror, all is not lost in that regard. I just hope he and the dems don't overly wreck the country our brave and honorable military are fighting to protect.

[samtheman]

I remain hopeful on the war in Iraq and the WOT. What I'm less hopeful for is continued progress in missile defense. He's already compromised a lot on that, and that's when he had majorities.

[Joann37]

The author left out the fact that we didn't do much to help Israel during their war this summer.

[Rokke]

I was hoping to read some statistical support for his conclusions. Instead, this appears to be the equivalent of a FR vanity.

[KoRn]

"He's already compromised a lot on that, and that's when he had majorities."

I think we'll get missile defense. I think the American people would be for it, and the president will push the dems on it. I think enough dems will go along and it will get done, but only if the president puts on the pressure.

[Jeremydmccann]

But an accurate one no less. Let's face it, this country is much more conservative than the President is.

[Ruth C]

My hope is that....Constitutionally faithful candidates not tied to the Bush Administration will receive significant media attention

Of course they will, demonization of the constitutionally faithful has become a media staple. As to popular support, that depends on just how vocal the conservatives want to be. If they remain silent as they did in this election, you can forget popular support.

[Aetius]

If Bush pushes forward with his amnesty plan, then he'll seriously risk losing all the remaining support from the base he has. All that could save him then is a Sup Court opening, as only that could rally the entire conservative movement.

[Commander8]

He hit the nail on the head.

[Jeremydmccann]

Indeed he did, indeed he did. *sigh*

[MNJohnnie]

Um NO. Not getting ONLY 100% of what YOU wanted all the time was not the reason for the loss. The reason for the loss was the American People tuned into the Junk Media and heard "Gop Sucks". Then they turned into the supposedly "Conservative media" and heard people like Democrat Campaign Contributor and pseudo Conservative Mike Savage scream non stop "GOP Sucks".

Intresting piece of data for all the Bush Haters to chew on. The Gallup poll found ONLY 36% of Voters said their vote was "Against President Bush". So not even about 1/3 of Democrats buy this "It's all about Bush" nonsense.
Want to help the Conservative Movement? Join the Democrat party. Let see how well THEY do when 40% of their squad spends all their time whining about the 30% of their political glass that is empty.

Running against Bush did NOT work for the people who tried it this year. It will NOT work for "Conservatives" in 2008.

Sorry you hate the President. Get over it or go to the join the Democrats. The damage the 100%ers did to the Conservative Movement with the Judges we will not get confirmed alone is bad enough. Considering the 3 Supreme Court Justices who are over 75 and in poor health Conservatives can no longer afford people more worried about 100% ideological purity then winning

I HOPE we can do better than we've done Susie.

The upcoming presidential election is our only hope, and
I am not seeing strong contenders on either side.
