A Few Questions For Die-Hard Bush Supporters

Toogood Reports ^ | June 5, 2002 | Lee R. Shelton IV

I've read the posts. You're right, after revisitation, you can't be older than four.

You voted for Bush. You pulled the lever. Rockin'!!!! Do you expect Bush to come to your house and wash your car in gratitude?

"We're supporters, all right. We just don't support what they think we should."

You are right, there is a disagreement on what a conservative president should be. Supporters are happy with what Bush has accomplished. You have a right to be happy. Things are going well for you.

Others of us are disappointed, but we have only ourselves to blame. Don't be so sensitive. As many have pointed out, Bush supporters out number Bush detractors by a wide margin. You don't need us.

You know #433 isn't true either.

The truth is that I had reservations about Dubya, then I voted for him (took your advice) and now when I have an issue with something he says or does instantly I am the bad guy.

But I was the good guy in November.

Now, suddenly I can't critique the President? I am one of PHI Mom's "17% Conservatives who voted for Gore" ROFL!

Fair weather friends the Bushies turned out to be. It's like walk in lockstep or shut up.

It's absurd. I voted for the guy, I have a right to criticize. You may not like hearing it, but that's the way it is.

And now I see people wanting to take their marbles and go home because people who never were really big on dubya anyway point out a few flaws here on a Conservative political forum.

That makes allot of sense.

[PhiKapMom]

Let's put it this way -- by the end of the first page I was fuming!

[bybybill]

Yes, Gore would have been very different.

[Willie Green]

If you're disappointed in Bush, it's because YOU thought he'd be more than any human could possibly be.

Well, I must admit: I'm certainly not disappointed in Bush.
He's exactly what I thought he'd be!

Go Pat Go!!!

Who do you want to replace Bush?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

If you voted for someone because someone told you to, you're an idiot. And no one owes you anything. And Bush didn't win because of your vote. Don't flatter yourself.

[Howlin]

Geoge W. Bush is NOT the president of the Conservatives of the Unitd States of America.

He is the president of ALL the people, and, much as you'd like him not to, he has to take everybody's wants into consideration.

I suggest next time you guys get a better candidate and get them elected if you're unhappy with the way "this one" is going.

I don't think you have a right to judge her...she has donated money to freerepublic...have you?

You post things like the above and imply I am immature?

Doesn't suprise me after the arrogance I saw demonstrated in your #394.

(Now, stop being obtuse and address the point. Agree, dissagree or say something relevant, will you please?)

[ArneFufkin]

If you're disappointed in Bush, it's because YOU thought he'd be more than any human could possibly be.

It's a farce, Howlin. These clowns aren't betrayed, disenchanted or scammed. This is a charade. There's nothing honorable or authentic about this discourse.

[GingisK]

President Bush could get alot more accomplished if only the democrats...

What had Bush done or said to address any of the points I brought up? Nothing. Republicans strike me as Democrats with a different "wish list".

[NittanyLion]

Nice try. You said CAMPAIGNED against it. Let's see some quotes.

Allow me:

THIS WEEK, 1/23/00
George Will: With regard to campaign finance, your opponent Senator McCain has made much of his pledge to ban soft money. You say that would be bad for the Republican Party. I want to see if you agree with those who say it would be bad for the First Amendment?

I know you're not a lawyer, you say that with some pride, but do you think a president - and we've got a lot of non-lawyer presidents - has a duty to make an independent judgment of what is and is not constitutional, and veto bills that, in his judgment, he thinks are unconstitutional?

Governor Bush: I do.

Will: In which case, would you veto the McCain-Feingold bill, or the Shays-Meehan bill?

Governor Bush: That's an interesting question. I - I - yes I would. And the reason why is two[fold]. For one, I think it does restrict free speech for individuals. As I understand how the bill was written - I think there's been two versions of it - but as I understand the first version restricted individuals and/or groups from being able to express their opinion.

Thanks..

I see what Mr. Fufkin has is catching.

Post the link FRAUD, Post the transcript FRAUD, and don't post the words of some other bush bashing fraud, POST IT, I TRIPLE DOG DARE YA,

The fact is, I have exposed you for the FRAUD you are and everyone here, including the FReepers who don't support President Bush. You are a FRAUD

[Jorge]

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.

Of course if Bush had signed onto Kyoto, you can bet this issue would not be "trivial" to anyone.
The reason they call it "trivial" now is obviously because they don't want to give Bush credit for anything and want to minimize his accomplishments.
Their agenda has forced them to take these intellectually dishonest positions.

Funding our national missile defense system is "trivial" in your world?!

Same response as above.
Anybody in their right mind knows these are extremely significant issues.
And Bush has done the right thing.

[Howlin]

Every word in 433 is true.

Just because Bush isn't doing what YOU think he should be doing, you're mad. Well, fine. But please stop acting like it's ONLY you.

As McGavin999 said, we're sick and tired of having to defend Bush to the contortions and outright lies that are posted on this forum day in and day out.

George Bush was the candidate for the GOP last time; you could have stayed home. Probably you should have.

[Jhoffa_]

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.

I agree.

Thank You.
