That's one of the more ridiculous comments I have ever seen on here. Yep, no hypberbole there at all!! /s
It's ludicruous to think that we NEED a LIBERAL like JulieAnnie to save us all! Absolutely ridiculous.
When look at the layers of defense that President Bush has put in place--it is impressive, impressive indeed (regardless of who is President). Here's a few:
(1) The incredible growth in government surveillance activities from the Patriot Act,
(2) The growth in government surveillance in ECHELON,
(3) The growth in government surveillance in CARNIVORE,
(4) Redeployment of FBI personnel from illegal drugs to national security,
(5) The removal of the Gorelick Wall (thanks, again Slick—Rudy, are you listening?--since Rudy defended Slick on this one),
(6) The new gigantic government bureaucracy, with tens of thousands of new government employees, the TSA,
(7) With its huge, bigger, parent version—the new Washington, DC, bureaucracy (aka the Homeland Security Dept),
(8) The blank check now given to our intelligence agencies, and,
(9) The greatly increased coordination/info sharing between our intelligence agencies and the foreign intel agencies of our allies and friends,
(10) Belated arming of our aircrews (no thanks to liberals like Rudy),
(11) Increased presence of federal air marshals,
(12) The new, first-ever Director of National Intelligence,
(13) Stepped-up, updated and more thorough background checks on all employees in sensitive positions (govt and private industry), and
(14) Who knows what else—as this is all that quickly comes to mind--I’m sure there’s lots more that we aren’t even aware of,,,
but the bottom line is this. President Bush has put up a gauntlet that future Presidents can ride on for a LONG TIME.
It's ridiculous that we have to compromise our conservatives values and principles because ONLY a liberal Republican like Rudy can save us. Once again, absolutely ridiculous.
I love Bush for most of what he has done. There are a few areas I disagree with him just as there are areas I disagree with RG. But the things that NOW, TODAY are the most important would cause me to vote for him. I repeat, I would vote for whomever is the nominee and i think most any of them except Paul would make a fine president so far as prosecuting the WOT, which, again, is the primary issue NOW, TODAY.
NO, we don’t need a liberal to save us, we need ANYONE who can beat fatso.
