I think it is the democrats plan to do this non-stop hits on Bush like the NYtimes story!
to depress turnout by rightist voters, by inducing apathy through disillusion.
Nuff stated, Rush has told the truth that he uses the New York Times as his show prep when he is done with the back nine.
Great show prep, Rush.
The tax cut was a disappointment. The Stem Cell decision was not restrictive enough. Partial Birth abortions are still legal... and on, and on and on..
TLB... he is just not conservative enough for me, though he is a damn site better than gore would have been. I am going for "gridlock" this november. Barring a miraculous turn of events.
I wish bush would just have tabled the report and ordered a new study.. instead of issuing the "clinton holdovers" report, as they build their own job security into the national agenda....
And all this reaching out is supposed to get us a repub senate, well guess what, republican polsters all over the place are saying that local issues are what the votes will be about. SO it looks to me like for all this "reaching out" we may not even get a republican senate. SOunds good huh? We get all this liberalism and a good chance of nothing to show for it.
Nonetheless, I intend to vote on November, but if the strategerie doesn't change after that, I'm not going to the polls in '04.
"And darkness covered the earth, and gross darkness the people."
However you feel about GWB, every thinking person must admit one thing. He's turned his broken glass conservative base into a mess. Many, many of us are truly pissed off and feel betrayed. It's one thing after the next with this admin.
God bless Rush. He's taking a very controversial stance and has the balls to give his concern for popularity the back seat because he's a conservative GIANT that won't sell himself out.
If only our politicians would be so bold and put their country before their ass. It's about time some conservative started holding our back stabbing politicians accountable. I say burn the f***ing party down if this is what it's become.
SING IT TO ME RUSH
I dont like GW's not calling a spade a spade as far the terrorists within the Palestinian Authority go but I comprehend that he is playing the game.
I wish he wouldnt but....ahhh what do I know?
Anyway...
For someone to say they arent gonna vote in 2004 is lame.
Go vote for the person who you feel is the closest thing to a real American.
And Rush has bought it hook, line and sinker. As I posted on the other thread, I highly suspect Rush and Drudge are going after O'Reilly. And considering that O'Reilly just ripped Rush in his talking points, this is becoming more and more about ratings, not conservative ideas.
Sorry to say but I am dissapointed (again) with GWB. If the story is wrong he could have sent someone out to contradict it. He has not done that.
"Greenhouse gases are accumulating in the Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing global mean surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise," the administration said in its report.
"The changes observed over the last several decades are likely mostly due to human activities, but we cannot rule out that some significant part of these changes is also a reflection of natural variability," the report says.
"Human-induced warming and associated sea level rises are expected to continue through the 21st century," it says. "Secondary effects...include increases in rainfall rates and increased susceptibility of semi-arid regions to drought."
Rush is right to call him George W Algore...he asked a caller today what she thought would be significantly different if Gore had won and she couldn't come up with anything. Rush does W a favor by holding his feet to the fire...somebody has got to wake the man up. The Bush cheerleaders don't do him any favors by forgiving his every liberal misstep...they only encourage more of this crap. The bushbots, as some have called them, remind me of clinton's supporters who couldn't even condemn him getting BJ's in the Oval Office because they were so enamored of the man. Take a step back folks, Bush is not the Second Coming, and he's making alot of mistakes and advancing the liberal agenda while abandonning the conservatives who elected him.
What this actually means is that holding on to power is more important than governing from principle. If the Republican party can appear to be as liberal as the democrats, then our guys can win. But at the cost of conservative values. What good is electing republicans when their agenda is to co-op liberal stances to ensure reelection? The two party system is a fraud.
The newly deaf hear echoes of past sounds, I am told. So it seems with the Limbaugh Wing of Wishful Thinking, which wants its President to echo its every gilded radio wave.
Hate to inform, but he's not Rush's President: he's our President. Rush's 20 millions elected Bush? Maybe Rush didn't work hard enough last November.
Rush has fallen in love with his ideas. We enjoy his arrogance, but self-love is not for public consumption. His intellectual-high of late is as embarrassing as it is self-defeating. To say that Bush has "highjacked" conservativism is stupid. Show me a single Bush lie from the campaign. Come on, try. You'll have to uhhuh and yeah but alot, but you aint' gonna find any smoke.
What Bush has done is become President. If Rush was fooled, the foolishness is on his part. I see nothing in Bush that has changed. These inane attempts to read between the lines of his policies are just that: listen to what he says.
I'd like to say I'm dissapointed with Limbaugh. I can't. I'm just sad. A closed mind is a sad thing to flaunt. Or maybe Rush is just pissed off that Bush hasn't replaced Powell with Netanyahu.
to depress turnout by rightist voters, by inducing apathy through disillusion.
The Dems can't control rightist voters -- only Bush can depress rightist turnout. And he can easily increase rightist votes by loudly proclaiming that global warming is bunk.
Why isn't he?
In the future, on this issue, jobs will flow into the country for one of 2 reasons:
A) We have reasonable enviromental controls
B) We have unreasonable environmental controls.
With Bush ACTING on emissions INDEPENDANT from Kyoto, he has positioned the country to react pro-activly as the issue unfolds in the future.
It's gonna shake out like this:
1) If the whole of the planet boycots every American product or service because of our lack of emission standards, Bush can act, INDEPENDANT from Kyoto, and save jobs.
or
2) If the whole of the planet can't afford American products and services because of overly opressive emission standards, Bush can act, INDEPENDANT from Kyoto, and save jobs.
Bush wins, the country wins, jobs win, warming wins. It's a quadrupal win that puts us first.
