BUSH TO SEEK BIG BUDGET INCREASE FOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS... Laura Bush plans to announce the request -- for the largest increase in two decades -- on Thursday... Developing...

...um... I seem to recall a few immigration threads where you sounded like a third-party, spawn of satan type...

Well, let me address the temporal, and leave the spiritual for another time.

I think third parties are a 99% waste of time. I haven't voted for one in about 15 years, but I used to all the time. I think they're ok for the very rare protest vote, but I'd never recommend joining one.

America will never have a three party or multiparty system. Our electoral system doesn't foster anything but a two party system, and it would take impossible-to-achieve Constitutional Amendments to the Electoral College and the Legislative Branch to make it anything other than a two-party system.

I was mistaken when I said I had stated my comment re Washington after another poster praised him with a sagacious quote: "but didn't he own slaves" was intended as sarcasm. But on a conservative site thought that would be understood.

"No one here is saying we are not going to support Bush for re-election"

Um, I am. But not because of this.

[hobson]

Your not going to bait me. I will repeat: If we don't get juges under control illegal immigration will be the least of our worries, IMO.

At least a Dem POTUS would get this place unified.

[The Old Hoosier]

We're all gradually coming to the same conclusion. I don't even know what to say, because I do not want John Kerry or John Edwards to be president, but I no longer see why it would be any worse.

Judges, maybe, that's all I can think of.

[luvbach1]

I agree, whether GWB sincerely thinks it's "the right thing to do" or not cuts no ice with me.

[Mo1]

*L* .. yea, something like that

[nopardons]

Try though they have and do, no, it really isn't. They just out post, for their numbers.

I don't know. A fair number of these people sound like they wouldn't mind it.

[gatorbait]

You guys have perfected the Klintonian techniques of attacking ones' character

A couple of things.One, you indulge in serious transferance.Two, It would be spelled Clintonian.Three ,I can't attack something that is non existant.

You must have really gotten into the X files, huh?

[Texasforever]

At least a Dem POTUS would get this place unified.

No it wouldn't.

[gatorbait]

Enjoy your bile broth. Thanks. Hope you enjoy the next "Piss Christ."

Thanks, you're doing a fine job of it being just that .

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Whenever you show up, I feel like Randy Johnson just swaggered up to the mound. LOL (Good to see you.)

[Howlin]

The final straw for ME! I'm not voting for him if he keeps THIS UP!

[The Old Hoosier]

Eh?

[Mo1]

If we don't get juges under control illegal immigration will be the least of our worries, IMO.

If I recall .. the liberals judges is part of the problem we have with illegals

Heck the liberal judges are even ruling in favor of the terrorists

[jgrubbs]

But on a conservative site thought that would be understood.

On a conservative site it would have been understood, but I am so used to be attacked on this forum as of late, because I refuse to blindly support GWB.

Let me appologize if I came across as harsh.

[rwfromkansas]

It touched a nerve with me probably because I am more socially than economically conservative. Sure, I want no more income tax etc., but if it comes between a social issue or an economic issue, I probably will get more riled up about the social one since unfortunately, our economy probably won't go back to what it once was in its complete free market structure and low taxes on Americans with less bloated govt. etc.

Probably I have the feeling that the culture war is ultimately more vital for the future of the nation, so this is where I will stand and fight to the end of the day, not economic issues.

[Rate_Determining_Step]

This is one big Bush supporter that is going to bitch loud and long about this.

You do not defeat liberalism by becoming one.

Where's Phil Gramm when you need him?
