"We seem to have done a U-turn," said Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) when the bill was passed. God bless my Senator, Pat Roberts!

Count me among the irate conservatives... I feel betrayed I was convinced he was Reagan all over again during his 1st year in office then he tilted leftward bigtime.

If he had only said "no" on CFR, he would have gained my respect.

Anybody who bothered to look at his record in Texas would have seen a budget that grew by leaps and bounds. His performance in office is no surprise. Compassionate Conservatism is simply Rockefeller Republicanism in a new coat of paint. Under Bush, government will grow dramatically. The taxes that are needed to pay for it will eventually follow.

Oh no way. He's wonderful, he fights terrorists, he feels everyones pain, he is everything we could ever want in a leader.
He isn't Clinton or Gore, which is all that is required by his supporters.

More and more demowits post on this sight daily. Wonder if they think we are stupid enough to think they are for real?

Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.)
Roberts and Brownback two shining stars in a state where RINO's are the rule and true conservatives seem to be the exception. Who will be our next Governor?

The majority of voters now are independent
The GOP wants to pick them up
(they did in 2000, and I think they will continue to do so, the Dem Party is kaput)
I have already resolved to vote Libertarian from now on, so I'm watching this from the sidelines

Conservatives disapprove of the job he's doing, liberals disapprove of the job he's doing but 76% of the American people
approve of the job he's doing.
It seems Mr. Bush stands in the center along with most Americans. That's why he appears too liberal for most conservatives and too conservative for most liberals.
By the way, I stand with the conservatives who think he is too liberal but I'm not willing to give up on Bush for now.

The majority of voters now are independent More importantly, the majority of people who are eligible to vote,, do not vote.
If they ever start to vote, and vote for freedom minded people, the country will turn in the right direction. If they do not, it is curtains.

By the way, I stand with the conservatives who think he is too liberal but I'm not willing to give up on Bush for now.What would it take?
And how much liberalism is the right amount?
To: arkfreepdom
I get it... because someone wants to stand on principle (unlike the President) they are a democrat poster!
Don't get me wrong. You are not the only one who does this-- so don't take it personally when I say that is the most absurd statememt one can find on Free Republic.
Right is right,wrong is wrong, no matter who does it!!!There are some posters on this site that think one is beyond criticism because they have an "R" in front of their name!
That will prove to be the death of our party!!!
To: ALL
Let me ask everyone a few questions:
1.) If thousands of Tom Daschle and Hillary klinton clones decided to sabotage the party by switching to the Republican party, would you vote for them?
2.)And if elected, would you think it inappropriate to criticize them?
3.)Isn't that what is going on now to the Republican party--and...
4.) shouldn't we be trying to destroy (or at least shine the spotlight of truth on) those atempting to destroy us?
Too many of us have some sort of emotional attachment to this President. This is unhealthy, and just as disturbing as the klintonoids we battled for the past 8 years. He is just a man. A man who seems to be perpetuating liberalism and klitonism to the tune of a 76-percent favorable rating.

In terms of what weikel? Reagan backed the brady bill,amnesty for illegals, raised taxes three times, vetoed the farm bill and had it wrapped around his neck in 86 when he lost the senate. Reagan was a great president but bush's policies are exactly the same.
To: Leclair10
When did Reagan raise taxes btw?

Few would disagree that he is more conservative than was his fatherFor many here, being more conservative than Al Gore is more than enough to earn their support. Only about 240 million Americans can cross that high bar.

Here's another liberal article aimed at pulling conservatives apart and helping the dems gain more senate seats.
