Do you really think Jesus would care whether illeal immigrants were granted Amnesty in the US or were you just joking around?

LOL. If I remember correctly Jesus crossed quite a few borders "illegally" in his time.

Yep the only really effective wall was the one Reagan demanded be torn down. The East Germans shot anyone breaching it from any direction. It was effective but not one I would like to adopt.

Part of me thinks that we would be better off with a Democrat in the White House.

Amputate that part. This important electoon will determine the fate of this country,--- the Supreme Court will either be filled with left-wing justices appointed by a democrat president or justices true to the Constitution appointed by President Bush.

Waste your vote on the Constituton Party's candidate. Hopefully enough idiots on the left will off-set your wasted vote by casting their own wasted votes on the likes of Ralph Nader or some other left-wing, third party candidate.

Bump!

Newsweek poll you can add 10% to it and be just about rite.

Things slow at DU or RATs.com. Why are you on a conservative website when you would prefer a RAT in the WH not to mention praising Clinton?

It is quite obvious that you are a DemocRAT pretending to be a conservative Republican that is unhappy with the President because not ONE conservative I know has anything but bad to say about Bill Clinton.

Guess you have no idea that the economy including the stock market was propped up by the Clinton Administration and we were in a weak economy in the last year of his Administration that led to the downturn during the beginning of Pres Bush's term.

You seem to have also conveniently forgotten 9/11 and what that cost us not to mention Clinton cut the military so much that a lot of the surplus came from DoD and left this Nation vulnerable. Pres Bush has had to retool DoD. Obvious that you know nothing about the military. Weapon system after weapon system was cancelled or left go under Clinton's tight DoD budget and we now have to pay for years of Clinton neglect of our military.

Why don't you get your facts straight why we no longer have a surplus and why we had a surplus under Clinton. As for praising Clinton, give me a break!

With respect to your reply #6. It is not that the Democrat is any better than GWB but it is that many real conservatives will take a "walk" on election day that will do GWB in. I for one will not vote for the chief executive who has thumbed his nose at the US Constitution since he took office. I want a real conservative and I think the party has to hit rock bottom again to see this.

I will not be taken advantage of or be taken for granted.

No you will actually be voting for the Democrat by voting for a third party. Which means if you suceed you will have more LIBERAL judges on the supreme court. Iraq will be turned back over to the terrorist and our soldiers will have died in vain. Our taxes will go up and all judges to any court will be far left wing idiots who write the law from the bench. Our sovernity will be turned over to the United Nations. With his fault, George W. Bush is head and tails above a democrat. He will have my vote.

[onyx]

Not bad numbers for a guy who's obviously hated here.

These Bush bashers want us to believe they're Republicans. Sure they are. Their posts mirror the DNC talkng points. Please explain that to me, coincidence? No such thing.

[PhiKapMom]

Couldn't agree with you more -- obvious that a lot of Dems have signed on here to post. They could at least come up with new material instead of the old retred RAT Talking Point papers they keep using.

[onyx]

FR poll means nothing. I voted NO, but I shall vote for President Bush.

Excellent post, (again, as always) deport.

There's a tried and true measurement --- a polling number --- which has exhibited since polling began, that says "IF a sitting president's approval number is _______ in January, he'll be reelected in November." You have any idea which poll or what I am referencing? LOL.

[deport]

No I don't... or I'm drawing a blank.

[onyx]

I've heard it mentioned, but I didn't make written note of it. It might be a formula --- a composite of polls --- rather than just one particular poll. I'll try to remember the source.
