I think it has something to do with the two cupcakes I just inhaled!

They're evil for some, but not for me!

Difference of black and white vs shades of gray...... Now Hillary things "W" is evil.....but then again....... By thinking "W" is evil it puts her in company with Hillary. .... In that case..DO two evils make a RIGHT?...on the other hand....you know it has to be Bush's fault somehow....maybe he doesn't like cupcakes?

Henchman, I hope you carefully consider the points that Ophiucus made in post 68.

They were excellently presented and I agree completely.

The easiest to fix is (a) excessive government spending and (b) illegal immigration – if, and only if, Republicans are in office. Excessive government spending can be weaned down over time with a Republican majority in Congress (and it will in due time).

Complete and utter fantasy. Only a liar or a fool describes "fixing excessive government spending" as easy. We HAVE a Republican majority in the Congress -- and control of the White House -- and they are spending like mad.

Holden you are sooooo wrong. "nary a difference between Bush and his opponents"

Kerry, Clark, Edwards,Dean, Lieberman--liberal causes promoted with gay marriages, no God in schools or games, litmus test for judges, prochoice as much as the day of delivery for Clark. Dean worked at Planned Parenthood as a doctor. All promise to increase taxes and all (except Lieberman) soft on defense. All would ask the UN for permission to defend ourselves. Some think that courting Arafat, Castro is the way to go.

No sir, the Bush that I know is not at all like these guys.

Where is the spending $$ going? Tell me what programs you would do without. Could it be the medicare drug bill. Well, I know that if you can have people take their meds, the long term effects of illness with its increased morbidity will be lessened. It will take time but I guarantee you a jalopy works better with TLC and frequent tuneups than one that has never been worked on. I for one can only imagine that is one $$ program you are talking about. Do you really think that the democrats would have made it for less? And now that Bush has control of the medicare drug bill, there then will follow control of the social security.

Without a doubt, the strength of the republican control in white house and congress will be evident in the second term. Don't you ever wonder why the democrats want to be in control so much? It is about controlling the agenda and forcing their liberal views on us.

never made that devil's bargain and are free to vote our consciences in November

But you did make a pact with Evil and your conscience must rival Ted Bundy's in its depth of denial.

but watch the conservative purists flame!

They're not conservatives, they are populists with the screaming zealotry of their socialist bed mates.

Sorry... calling Bush a "socialist" makes you appear not any more mature or politically aware than the left appears when they him a right-wing extremist.

Is Bush 100% conservative? No... we knew that when he ran. Could we ever get a 100% conservative into the White House? Nope, not with the heavily liberal voting public in our country. Conservatives who are severely disappointed in Bush need to grow up and navigate the political system in the real world. He is greatly to the right, has character and is a fantastic world leader.... most of all, he LOVES our country and is fighting to protect America as a sovereign nation.

AP, I commented on the article, with which I agree, in post #7. After reading subsequent posts, my early comment unfortunately still applies.

That'll only happen if we do 2,4,6!

I'd add to the list - development of ANWAR and the Gulf of Mexico currently undeveloped by Mexico.

BUSH, he can do no wrong, and if you don't agree you are stupid.

I disagree the President can do no wrong;he's human and politics is not an exact science.However the spirit of your post would tend to verify the latter half of your statement.

=== but they change the image of Republicans and set the stage for a long-term Republican takeover.


Unfortunately, this "image" change is not exactly skin deep but rather has and only will continue to exact pounds of flesh.

Intellectuals who "Maybe" think Bait & Switch is the best possible (or least evil) of all tacks to take "Maybe" should drop the pretense of selling themselves as "Intellectual" conservatives.
