President Bush's Message to the Grassroots: "I Need You"

Bush Team Leaders ^ | 10/28/03 | President George W. Bush

[Vigilantcitizen]

" Wish to discuss your political viability now, dagnabbit?"

Here I was, absorbing all this serious political discourse, and then I happen upon that.

Thanks Dane. :)

[PuNcH]

Pulling the covers over you head and hoping the bad guys don't infiltrate America is not quite what I'm looking for

Me either. To bad we have an anarchist immigration policy. It kinda makes the war on terror look as stupid as the war on drugs.

[jwalsh07]

He's right.

He's leading in the right direction and the country is becoming more pro life.

In fact, I think right now there is a consensus for banning third trimester abortion excpet for the life of the Mom.

But I understand incrementalism, I've seen what the left has done with it in my lifetime.

In the meantime we'll be leaving our bumper stickers urging folks to Choose and Defend Life. :-}

[jwalsh07]

You won't get much of an argument from me on the lack of a coherent immigration policy, in fact none at all.

[Teacher317]

We will elect George W. Bush in 2004 without them.

Odd. The President seems to disagree with you. Check out the title of this thread.

[WhiteGuy]

I respect your opinions.

Perhaps if Dr Paul were elected president he would have advice from the best and brightest in the field of national defense.

I'll take the chance that overall the wisdom of our founding fathers would see us through.

[MeekOneGOP]

It sure is! Thanks ...

[WhiteGuy]

Retaliation.............................................

Is that what you call "rebuilding" iraq?

I'll take Dr. Paul's "Americans First" philosophy over the globalist point of view.

[jwalsh07]

Take whatever you want, it's a free country, sort of.

Actually, the person I said that to, got what I meant.

[Dan from Michigan]

And as I always say to that statement, I'll settle for 50 or 60%. I'd vote for 80% in a minute unless the guy's character is crap.

PRO
Foreign Policy generally good
A minor tax cut.
Said he'd sign ban on lawsuits against gun manufacturers
Will sign Partial Birth Abortion ban.

Con
BIG spender with defecits
Nationalized Education
Said he'd sign the AW ugly gun ban
Poor control of borders
Patriot Act
Prescription Drugs.

Incomplete
Judges.

That's 40% That's it. And the fact that I'm even possibly CONSIDERING a vote for him after that says how bad the dems are. I'll compromise if it gains something. If it's giving up more than I gain, than that compromise simply isn't worth it.

One step forward and two steps back is unacceptable. Two steps forward, one back is.

Odd. "Grassroots" does not mean "conservative." And he doesn't mention that word once.

[woodyinscc]

I thought at the time how would Clinton have answered the question if "choice" was subsituted for "life". I thought he would have made a campaign speech about the "choice" position.

It was refreshing to hear Bush answer the three questions, yes yes and no in about 3 seconds.

[Dane]

Perhaps if Dr Paul were elected president he would have advice from the best and brightest in the field of national defense.

I'll take the chance that overall the wisdom of our founding fathers would see us through

I will have to disagree with you. I believe in the spirit of the Founding Fathers, but to use their literal 18th century letters while trying to fight a 21st century war is misguided and naive, IMO.

[Dan from Michigan]

Forgot - CFR. Another piss poor decision made that impacts me directly.

[Salem]

Got the same email, Marcus. Acknowledging his Administration's flaws, bottom line is if he had not been President at this critical time in America's history, we would no doubt be experiencing Islamic suicide bombings on American streets right now. The Conservative community as a whole needs to grasp the myriad pressures he is under from a wide array of forces, special interest groups, and political scenarios which would be almost beyond Solomon's grasp. It is critical we all support him for 2004 (and Rummy right along with him)!

  AMERICA AT WAR
"And Caesar's spirit ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth,
With carrion men groaning for buriel."
Shakespeare from Julius Caesar.

[deport]

Dear Republican,

Darn .... guess they got messed up when they wrote the salutation......

[Teacher317]

So you're saying that those of us on FR who worked our tails off for him at the local level, going door-to-door, driving voters to the polls, making calls, and coaxing xo-workers are NOT part of "grassroots" merely because we label ourselves as "conservatives"? That message ISN'T aimed at those us who worked like that in 2000 and have been since disillusioned by his domestic record? Very odd.

[Dane]

One step forward and two steps back is unacceptable. Two steps forward, one back is

So are you saying that three steps backward and no steps forward(which the only other viable political alternative(demo)is) is more acceptable to you.
