I, too, did not like a few things in the speech last night - especially the headstart, healthcare for unemployed, and the free prescription drugs for seniors.
But, every day, I think about what if Gore were in power now. It would not just be Gore. It would be the Clintonoids, too. I agree with Jim Robinson in that I don't think our country would have survived a Gore Presidency.
I cannot possibly for one second say or do anything that will align myself with the Stalinists in this country. Therefore, I will salute a disciplined, honorable, "loving kind of guy" who has shown true grit in the face of the attacks on our nation by the enemies of freedom and in the face of the Dasshole/Clinton organized crime mafia gang.
And, I will never forget, this President's leadership during this time of crisis. I will never forget his restoration of honor and dignity to OUR White House. I will never stop admiring his genuine love for people, including his wife and family, and of his love for little children.
No, he is not accomplishing a massive rolling back of the years of liberal largesse. He is wrong on some important issues (mainly the size, scope, and role of government).
I understand the objections posted here. They will be considered in the next election. But, for now, I would rather withdraw from life itself than give one second of pleasure or joy or cooperation to the Hillary Clinton led Stalinists and her apparatchniks.
Having said that - President Bush and his team should be paying attention to the objections voiced here and should understand that while he has reached out to the liberals in this country - he must reach out to those who are grateful to him for his leadership during this time of our crisis - but who treasure the Constitutional definition of government and the rights of its citizens.
I know that many conservatives will desert him in 2004 if these trends are not reversed.
Do we close our eyes and let the constitution be shredded ..and big brother government grow without a word because it would have happened a little faster under Gore?
BTW I do not think it would have because the Conservatives that are currently asleep would have been yelling..
So now we have a new Americore..and more PBS money and more money for the arts..etc etc and we say nothing because it is under a Republican?? No sale my friend!
