A Few Questions For Die-Hard Bush Supporters

LOL. Your flinging that CINO moniker at anyone who doesn't agree 100% with you is what triggered the term Broken-Record Conservative to pop into my head.

So you bark out insulting names and then decry when someone responds to you in kind. Childish, indeed.

[My2Cents]

Do you really want to digress into name calling? I think we can do better.

Oh, I get it. You condemn namecalling, only after you've had the last word and made the last dig!

[deport]

Talk about distorting facts..

Just curious do you have some data on exit polling demograpics regarding the voting pattern of the 2000 Presidential election? If so could you provide a link?

Rights are not absolute in the sense that they cannot be revoked or forfeited. They can. Privileges are not comparable.

"We hold these Truths to be self evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the Governed..."
-- Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

Do you disagree with Tom, or are you just splitting semantic hairs?

"My way or the highway." If these whiners sit on their hands in the 2004 election, it will probably mean Bush loses 0.0013% of the votes he got in 2000. They are a pimple on the bum of the body politic.

Don't worry. He didn't get their vote in 2000. The reason they get so shrill is that they played the "let's slow-roll-the-GOP" game one time too many, the GOP found enough votes to win without them, and they now officially have no leverage.

[My2Cents]

they've been against Bush from the very beginning

I agree. These are the same people who complained early in 2000 that Bush was being "anointed" the GOP nominee (before he had to duke-it out in a real primary fight with McCain). These are probably the same people who maintain their registration in the Reform Party. They gravitate to FR because anywhere else in the wide world of American politics, they're irrelevant.

Hey, you always make good points, and I admire your loyalty to your man.

Our president is better than clinton or algore, the things you mentioned that george has done are great.

But.......

Not good enough, the pork spending, the totalitarian "patriot act", cfr, tarrifs, the socialist education bill, things that will never go away.......

This is NOT what Americans deserves, we deserve far better.

Ron Paul in 2004

OBTW, since I support the second amendment, am pro-life, for tax cuts, school vouchers, home schooling, reduced gov't, privatization of some gov't functions, abolishment of some civil service rules, right-to-work laws, and haven't voted for a Democrat in at least a dozen years, how exactly does that make me a CINO? Please explain.

"He has yet to engage in any activity that would land an ordinary citizen in prison. Case closed."

Wow. You hold the President of the United States to incredibly high standards, don't you?

/sarcasm

[SerpentDove]

>>• Did you feel betrayed when Bush signed Campaign Finance Reform into law?

No. He held his nose as he did so, and I believe it is the role of the judiciary to judge the constitutionality of legislation, not the President.<<

Okay, so as long as the President "holds his nose," he can sign away the whole U.S. Constitution and hope he is overturned by SCOTUS. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

[Dog]

And your point is what???

[WhiteGuy]

Sadly I fear you are correct. Unfortunately the Dems proabably will take back both at some time in the future. This is why some of us wonder if it was a good idea to grant these powers to the government in the first place. If you give power to government it is unrealistic to expect gov't to return it.

The gop has been losing ground since 96, they've been moving left and losing votes.

They've already lost the house and senate, IMO

[My2Cents]

we might be better off just to let them have the "conservative" moniker and just be plain old Republicans, a word I happen to admire. They way they are going, the word "conservative" is never going to mean anything except mean and nasty anyway.

Speaking of admiring the name "Republican," these are the same folks who show up to bash Lincoln for his "trampling of states rights." And, in regard to being mean and nasty, consider the contrast of the most successful conservative politician and President of the 20th Century. Ronald Reagan won, in large part, because he put a smile on the face of conservatism (he was also a pragmatist when he needed to be). The complainers we see daily on FR who stridently define "conservative" and then eviscerate anyone who doesn't live up to their definition will never know anything of the success of a Ronald Reagan.

I take pride standing in the tradition Lincoln, Reagan, and George W. Bush.

You keep up that kind of talk and I will drum you out of the Bushbot corp...:-)

It has been nearly a year-and-a-half since George W. Bush, the savior of conservatism, descended from on high to begin his earthly reign in Washington, D.C. Republicans assured us that he would restore integrity to the White House and would be a marked improvement over the promiscuous Bill Clinton. Well, in all honesty, that could have been accomplished by electing a neutered chimp to the office of president.

Hey! You reminded me of something.

a Toogoodreports.com's writer submitted this article, but his term "neutered chimp" should raise an eyebrow. Or two.

Ever seen this site before? (Link will open in new window.)

Pay attention to the title.

Coincidence? You decide.

[ruoflaw]

Maybe you are the one that should wake up...President Bush could get alot more accomplished if only the democrats would stop obstructing the business at hand!

Ditto.
