I know it makes you feel better to keep repeating that, but it's just not so. The reason Alan Keyes has never been elected to a public office is that he turns so many people off, not just because he's holier-than-thou and talks down to people, but because he is plain annoying.
think the founding fathers are turning in their graves over that comment ..
This Country meant something to our founding fathers .. obviously it doesn't mean the same to you that you would even consider splitting up the country
But the one mistake everybody is making is writing off the dissenters as not Bush supporters, most of us are and still could be. But he is going to have to earn that trust back after not coming thru as he said.
Dont be fooled by the approval rating - it's going down, every talking head knows it and Bush will not win without the base.
As for me, I am no longer a Republican, that's history. No more money and no more campaigning. But I will continue to vote for conservatives if they are conservatives. At one time, that would have been a mainstream comment, but now that is radical somehow on a conservative website....we'll see how this all shakes out...goodnight.
But that IS what you said.
Thanks for proving my point; you spoke untruth.
You'll probably never see it, though.
Say I to Uncle Teddy ..
My maternal great great great great great grandfather sold his farm to Washington to complete Mount Vernon.
Don't bother lecturing me on the history of this country and who started; my family was one of them.
Happening as we speak. More border patrols, a HUGE INS dismantling and restructuring.
...following the first amendment
Hmmm... I haven't seen any jack-booted thugs kicking in doors in my neighborhood, probably because last time I checked, we still have freedom of speech (and if you're refering to CFR, you can thank the SCOTUS for revoking the parts you dislike in the near future.)
... trading with Europe
And this ended when?
and fighting terrorism become far right issues?
Fighting terrorism is a universal issue. But yet, it seems you have chosen to abandon the President because of what, ONE issue? Two??? As I said before, if we get Hillary in 2004, you have only yourselves to blame.
In case you didn't notice, Hitlery was the defacto president, and ran for a Senate seat. She has a following ( why , I'll NEVER understand, but she had / has one ) and, as usual, that election was filled with fruad.
OTOH, Keyes consistantly and constantly manages to lose many people, who once thought that he was worthy of a vote. Me for one. He is condescending, pontificates, instead of orates, and has far worse facial mannerisms , than President Bush's " smirk " ; which I am beginning to believe is a tic , from pressure or habit.
Keyes pulled the " race " / " victim " card once, and I gave him a pass on it. He pulled it again, and I now place him in the mirror image corner of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
Am I? Tell me why then the White House and RNC are hung up on Moderates this year even in place Conservative safe. Tennessee is a good example. No sooner had Fred said I'm a leavin than the proclamination was made Lamar Alexander is the party annointed. Lamar is a has been. He is a former Tennessee Governor which is a future elected office career killer. This was done despite the fact we have a fine well known Conservative Ed Bryant. Why would they say Lamar over Ed? Ed was a House Manager perhaps? Lamar was a Daddy Bush Cabinet man perhaps? How about those Califorina primaries huh? Yea Bush's chosen was sent packing for a Conservative. Let's just see how much help Simon really gets.
