How Bush could lose it

President George W. Bush blew it Tuesday night. He delivered a State of the Union address that downplayed his most promising - and potentially revolutionary - domestic-policy initiatives. Earlier drafts had reportedly contained a lengthy exposition of his vision of an "ownership society," expanded and strengthened by tax changes and Social Security reform.

No where have you even denied my belief that you blame Israel for 9/11. Its those Jews fault isnt it Richard?

Actually, I haven't said a single thing about Israel or the Jewish people in any of my posts -- ever. I don't blame them for 9/11.

" We would have been better off with four more years of Slick Bill than with George."

Incredible!!!

what do you think Clintons' response to 9/11 would have been? It is amazing that even those on the right have forgotten 9/11. Very sad

The Republican party can be changed from within.
The change, no matter how great, will do absolutely no good if the party is out of power.
Look at the long term results of staying -in- power, even when the party is not "perfect".
It's as simple as that; having faith in what the party
-will- be, not what it currently -is-.....:)

"Actually, I haven't said a single thing about Israel or the Jewish people in any of my posts -- ever. I don't blame them for 9/11."

finally. But you do blame the US, since it provoked the religion of peace

If we don't correct the federal courts we will fall to the Marxists and we will lose our republic, and our liberty.

Benjamin Franklin: "You have your Republic, if you can keep it". Well, I aim to keep it,

If your second statement is true, why on earth would you let your first statement happen even if the dims were in power?

I want more crack downs on illegals and prosecution of those who hire them

That's the right formula to stop this invasion of our country. Unfortunately we have a President, a Senate, and a House of Representatives who don't agree with us (except for a few brave souls in the House).

"Well, if a Dem is elected because "Republicans" or conservatives, unhappy about immigration, won't vote, I wonder how happy they'll be when our new Pres seeks permission from the UN/"world community" before making decisions. And, will they be happy when 9month fetuses are aborted? And, will they be happy when the Supreme Court consists of ONLY liberal judges? And, if some of those unhappy "Republicans" happen to be Christians, will they be happy when God is removed from the Pledge of Allegiance and when they can no longer say God or Merry Christmas (I know, this is happening today)? Even if we do not agree with everything our Pres does, there is no candidate who would be a better leader for our country."

You sound like a decent thoughtful person. Just answer me this; why is the President proposing amnesty?? I would expect this from Lenin or Karl Marx......not the man I voted for!!

The implication is we are unprincipled or don't let our principles guide us.

Of course republicans have principles. One for any and all occasions. They may not be consistent day to day, but you do have a lot of them.

The problem is this:

you have a very poor and corrupt country with Mexico. It is over populated and has a lower per capita GDP today than in 1980. You cant plug the border unfortunately with 100% success. You have to cut off the demand for their services. Throw Whitey in jail.

Mexico needs economic growth and job creation and a less corrupt government.

Richard,you do say the sweetest things.I love it when you talk like that.

[Salamander]

Oh, thank God.
He's taking a new tack!

His "projection" is certainly a blessed relief from the usual ad hominem blather....:))

I can predict this: If Bush loses in 2004, dont expect to win again for at least. There was an article in National Review back in 2000 that predicted the GOP would win its last Presidential Election in 2004. From then on, it would face and ever deepening loss of electoral support.

Rush spoke on his program last week and said if the Republicans lose the Hispanic group to Dems, then the Rep party will not be able to survive. He noted that was possibly behind the immigration deal.

My feeling is reality says more and more Americans want socialism and conservatives including myself, don't want to face that.

[timydnuc]

Here's the point: If the Democrats (read socialists) ever get power again they will bring this republic to it's knees. Our fight is right here and now. If we lose, we lose everything. Think soviet union, they think that they can make it work here.

Live free, or die. I know no other way, I wasn't born and raised to be a slave, I was born to be an American.

I just don't necessarily see that giving him a pliable Congress will help...

I think you do see it. The bills that he s signed that you liked where passed by a Republican Congress. If he had to compromise with a Democrat congress, the bills would have been watered down or not passed at all. Some people mistakingly think that they miss gridlock and divided government. How soon they forget.

[timydnuc]

Thank you sir. Well said!

You have to cut off the demand for their services. Throw Whitey in jail

President Bush has no intention of doing either. He's had three years, and now he wants to open the floodgates even more to those poor people who think they'll get amnesty. His response to the problem we're facing is hollow, and not in the best interest of America. All he had to do was enforce existing laws.

[Hoverbug]

I think you miss my point.

If the dim did get voted in, you would allow them to take your liberty, destroy the Republic, and replace it with Marxism?

You're welcome.
( and Salamander is a ma'am ).....:))

[MEG33]

I'd say I like my way of voting against them first.
