I didn't know ex-felons could vote.
Nice Dodge.
Where did you get it?
If a Democrat Administration did this you would be saying more than they were "re-writing" the Constitution. Words like trashing, destroying, warping, disfiguring would be words you would probably use. Did I mean he was literally "re-writing" the Constitution? You and I both know that I didn't, but far be it from you to miss an opportunity to twist what I said and avoid the point of the question.
So, answer the question and stop your spinning.
You are NOT one of those people Jhoffa.
When the bills are posted showing that the "misunderstanding" is wrong, they continue to state their positions even in the face of the proof. FreeRepublic has never been like that. Conservatives, of all stripes, respect the truth. This is either arguing for the sake of arguing, or it's pursuing an agenda and a deliberate attempt to spread rumors and lies.
In either case, it does not make for intelligent discourse.
Thank you for a sensical answer. Now, why is it that the Bushcheerleaderbots refuse to even admit that the Bush Administration's stated position on the 2nd Amendment deserves criticism? If it was a Democrat Administration they would be angry beyond measure and wouldn't hesitate to make their displeasure known. But, because it is Bush they don't even care - they don't even want to know about it - the shove their heads in the sand and hope that it will blow over.
Unprincipled.
A BushBot.
A socialist.
A liar.
Not a "real" conservative.
Not a "true" conservative.
Not a "constitutionalist."
A sheep.
From the day I logged on here in 1998, I have been told repeatedly by you PRINCIPLED CONSERVATIVES that I am NOT good enough, don't know enough, march in lockstep, whatever you can name.
And now YOU are whining because YOU say I promised you something? Nobody twisted your arm to get you to vote for him; we ALL worked together, which is NOT happening now. You're more intent on pulling him down than the damn Democrats are.
If you are not happy with your vote for George W. Bush, do NOT vote for him again.
But do one thing for me: STOP pretending that any candidate that would live up to your expectations/agenda/demans would EVER WIN.
If you're disappointed in Bush, it's because YOU thought he'd be more than any human could possibly be.
Withdrawing the U.S. out of the U.S. - CCCP ABM treaty is "trivial" in your mind?!
Hogwash.
Appointing Ashcroft and writing the Supreme Court to tell them that the official U.S. position is that the Second Amendment protects Individual, not collective, rights to keep and bear arms is "trivial" to you?!
Rubbish. Even Ronald Reagan wasn't so bold as to reverse 70+ years of "collective rights" government policy on the Second Amendment.
Withdrawing from the International Criminal Court, which placed itself ABOVE our own Supreme Court is "trivial" to your mind?!
Ridiculous.
Signing Executive Orders which prevented government agencies from acting as though the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming had been ratified is "trivial" to you?!
Nonsense. Enforcing that treaty via bureaucratic regulations would have seriously harmed our economy.
Funding our national missile defense system is "trivial" in your world?!
Rubbish.
You need to read more carefully.
Now go back to post #411 & #418 and try again.
(BTW, as an aside.. I hope you didn't strain your arm in post 394.)
Then you shouldn't have voted for him. I did NOT like the other candidates so I did NOT vote for them.
In fact, I cannot believe you voted for somebody you didn't like! That's stunning.
Given the overwhelming support for CFR by both the Senate and the House I realized that it was politically impossible for Bush to stand against it alone.
If I felt betrayed it was by the House and Senate for putting Bush in such a position.
It is the Court's job to decide the constitutionality of some aspects of CFR, and Bush left it up to them to do their job.
