BUSH'S REAL OPPOSITION: REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Why don't y'all just stay at the FAB and FRN forums and play there?

As you are well aware, if I was able to access the FAB forum, you wouldn't still be a member of FR. I have not accessed the FRN site, except for a glance in over half a month.

And I stand by the GOVERNMENT TAX FORM of 1913 that says that there is no such rate as is quoted on two of your sources. So I suggest that we get to the bottom of this and find out what happened. Reagan isn't wrong. Obviously, there is something in the tax charts that says that there was a tax rate of 50% in 1986 too. So rather than go round and round, let's get a solution. How about coming up with the Economic Recovery Act LAW of 1982 itself??

Come on, it is common sense: if there was no tax cut until 1986, there would have been no recovery. Use your head---you know that isn't right. So there is some glitch on these forms that we aren't seeing.

[LS]

So we agree. You are confused.

So we agree. You are confused.

What? Have I reduced you to making "one-liners" now? Is that all you have left in your arsenal?

[LS]

My arsenal remains full. But wasting ammo on dead bodies is uesless.

[BeAChooser]

My arsenal remains full.

Yes, of confused democRAT notions.

The notion that the Clinton administration and DNC committed all sorts of horrible crimes but we should just "move on". The notion that Republicans can gain long term political advantage by having Bush violate his oath of office and ignore credible evidence of serious crimes like election tampering, blackmail of politicians and murder ... thus empowering democRATS to further commit further crimes. The notion that the GOP can win by FEARING the media, the courts and even what democRAT voters might think. The notion that voters can decide what they want without knowing the facts.

[LS]

Yep. Dang them stupid voters. Don't have sense enough to watch FOX. That must be why its share is increasing.

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

Indeed it did mean something to them. So much so that they were willing to fight for it.

Freedom isn't going to return to us by some process of osmosis. It has to be fought for. Sooner or later.

Redemption time for President Bush. Make voter fraud as big an issue as campaign finance reform. I can't for the life of me understand why CFR was more important than voter fraud. A fraudulent vote cancels a legitimate vote. It is bad enough that American citizens are willing to sell their vote but intolerable that illegals can vote and neither group has reprecusions. Voter ID has got to be the law of the land. Throw conservatives a bone Mr. President---You will be the big beneficiary if the dead and other inelegibles are rousted from the election process.

Just out of curiousity, how much soft money do you contribute to political organizations during each election cycle?

Soft money isn't the beef, and if you've been following the threads about CFR you would know this. It's about the 60 day moritorium on ads placed by grass-roots organizations. While hard money can be used, third parties are silenced. So, money you send to the NRA or the Sierra Club to get out the message are useless. That's the unconstitutional portion, and I'm hoping/betting the SCOTUS rules it unconstitutional.

"But in the end, Nixon kept them in line by pushing the war in Vietnam beyond reasonable limits. George Bush could accomplish the same political goal of uniting conservative support by continuing to push the war on terrorism into far nooks and crannies of the whole world."

I had not read anything by Reeves in a while but after looking at this one, it's reassuring to know that he is as big a jackass as always.

So what are you saying ... we should bare arms against fellow american?? .. we show start another civil war???

Oh yea .. that will just solve our problems ..

Great idea ... NOT!!!

[inquest]

I was hoping that my statement would be taken with a dose of common sense. Hopefully I wasn't hoping in vain.

I agree. We cannot give Democrats the options of chosing a leader. It is about not letting the Dems chose, not about chosing someone, unfortunately. I'd rather have someone on the right than on the left. Jurisdiction of the poor is plain terrorism.
