Now That Bush Has Sold Us Out... What are we going to do about it? (vanity)

Posted on 03/13/2002 2:47:41 PM PST by Michael2001

Well I'm mad and I'm angry, and maybe that's why I can't think of an appropriate response. While all of us were prasing him for how he was dealing with the war on terror, Bush passes this Amnesty Bill, something that not even the sneaky Bill Clinton would do. This is one of the worse Bills to pass through Congress, it will hurt us in many ways, and ten years from now we will still be feeling it's effects.

Bush has, without a doubt in my mind, sold us out for the Hispanic vote. He sold us out because he can take our vote for granted (who will we vote for Al Gore?). Is he wrong? What do we do when the Republicans stop looking out for our interests? Is it time for a new party, or do we work within the party and try to root out the Republicans In Name Only (of which there are many)?

"Open borders is why I won't vote for the Libertarians. " -- FITZ

Because of the casual right-wingers of the Democratic Party, popularly called the GOP, is why I refuse to vote for Republicans.

The best thing for Conservatives to do is focus on running the electable candidates they have, especially in the heartland, where people understand what freedom means. In the cities, people have no concept, of freedom, so they vote themselves money for everything.

It's now become a struggle between city and rural folk. Happens that rural folk have it right, and should concentrate on making it happen. Hard work and Opportunity are what make a nation great, prosperous and righteous, not entitlements, much as anyone would like to collect them or feel that they deserve them.

The reason that this doublecrossing from Bush is so painful is because we expected more of him.

I really liked Bush. I campaigned for him at my Church (which is very conservative) while many people told me that my heart was in the right place but that this guy was nothing but a Democrat in Republican's clothing. I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of "I told you so" this Sunday. I've already gotten a few of that nature from my Church e-mail list

I'd love to see another showdown like Reagan had with them ---when he demanded and got his microphone time, they tried to rob him but he stood up to them. Greatest President this country ever had.

One word (sort of): TEFRA

"Do we keep just voting for the "R's" each time .."

Yes. Politics is the art of the possible. The name of the game is to stay in power by winning elections. The ones Horowitz calls, "Gold Star" Republicans infuriate me --- they're too naive for words.

Read on (the naive should pay special attention):

StopDemocrats.com has learned from a source inside Spence Publishing Company that David Horowitz, the former Vietnam-era Liberal activist turned popular Conservative author and commentator, will publish an explosive new book title "HOW TO BEAT THE DEMOCRATS And Other Subversive Ideas" in June 2002. The book comes just in time as the mid-term November elections heat up and the Democrats desperately try to bring down a president with a six-month long approval rating above 80% and a united Republican Party with the upper-hand on most issues.

"HOW TO BEAT THE DEMOCRATS And Other Subversive Ideas" is "an indispensable manual for wartime politics" that extends the message of "The Art of Political War" that according to Horowitz helped put George W. Bush in the White House. Horowitz writes that the Democrats have demoralized our military, eviscerated the CIA, and let America become a playground for terrorists and that this book will make sure that it won't be politics as usual in 2002.

The source reveals "For Democrats, politics is permanent war. Every conflict is a contest for power, every battle is about burying their enemies-Republicans. With racial shakedown artists and intolerant "progressives" rearing their heads at home-and terrorists striking at us from abroad-Horowitz's uncompromising and principled commitment to freedom is more needed than ever."

In this new book, the former Liberal shows why the Democrats can't be trusted with the nation's security because "the party has subordinated sound defense policy to a radical ideology untamed even by September 11". The source reveals "Horowitz's unmatched strategic powers are on full display in his enumeration of the principles for a winning political campaign, which he then applies to the specific issues that will shape the 2002 election."

David Horowitz concludes with an exposé of the anti-American escapades of Noam Chomsky and his comrades of the unrepentant left. The Main parts of the book include:

The four fundamental principles of politics
Six lessons from the near-heist of the 2000 election
Democratic plans for revenge in 2002
Horowitz's bold strategy for GOP victory
How the left still tries to undermine American defense

Here is an exclusive excerpt from David Horowitz's "HOW TO BEAT THE DEMOCRATS And Other Subversive Ideas" (224 pages with index and notes), ISBN 1-890626-41-4, $27.95, by Spence Publishing Company, www.spencepublishing.com.

"Politics is about winning. It seems like an obvious fact, but Republicans sometimes forget it. Many seem to think that politics is only about being right: if you espouse good principles and good policies, you've performed your political task. In one sense, of course, politics is about such things. Why engage in political battles if you don't think you are wiser or more principled than your opponent? But politics is also a war in which almost anything goes. Consequently good principles and good policies are defeated as often as they succeed. Those who think they can win elections on superior principles and better policies are "Gold Star" Republicans. Gold Star Republicans believe that if they show voters they are decent and prudent human beings they will be rewarded. But that's not the way the political war works. Defending our Republic and the principles for which it stands is a task that Republicans will have to face. To do this successfully, Republicans will first have to change their approach to the battle itself. They can no longer afford to regard politics as a business. Instead, they will have to embrace it as a cause."

DAVID HOROWITZ is the author of Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes, The Art of Political War and Other Radical Pursuits, Uncivil Wars: The Controversy over Reparations for Slavery, among other books. One of America's most sought-after political strategists and commentators, Horowitz is the editor of FrontPageMag.com and a columnist for the on-line magazine Salon.com. He lives in Los Angeles.

I don't even think it's that. I think Bush is catering to Fox for other reasons and it bothers me what those other reasons might be.

I don't know squat about Fox. But I'm willing to learn. Do you have any links? There's nothing in the papers, at least those that I've seen.

Why am I a racist? I'm biased, allright and I admitted that, but I'm no racist. Aren't we all biased?

The Libert-Aryan Brotherhood claims they are not racists, too, just biased. Sheesh. You are just a disruptor. FreeRepublic is not for the promulgation of ... "biased" ... postings.

I'm going to look at that one ---it might be good. There are inconsistencies in the Republican Party ---we fight a War on Drugs and yet the country that sends most the drugs here is getting a lot of power over us. It's ironic that anti-drug crusaders like Cultural Jihad don't even seem to realize where the majority of drugs are coming from, they want no borders between us and the drug cartels. They want to merge with a drug lord controlled country and it's hard for me to understand why.

You're talking about the Libertarians, FITZ, not me.

Throwing the baby out with the bath water. You're probably right. Much better to have Algore in there.

I'm not singling you out, because there were about 100 posts just like yours. Take a step back and think about that comment for a second. Didn't we here at FreeRepublic struggle to understand how all these Democrats could still back Bill Clinton after what he did? If George Bush had sex in the Oval Office and then lied about it under oath, would you still support him because he is better than Al Gore?
