Apparently there are still some posters on FR who are fast asleep. Wake up! Dammit! We are in the middle of a conservative rebellion! While you were sleeping we, along with millions of other freedom loving grassroots Americans have participated in hundreds of tea parties all across this great land and fully intend to keep it up until all of America is awake. We are fed up and mad as hell! We grassroots Americans are delivering a message to the ruling class: NO MORE!!
No more big government! No more high taxes! No more government bailouts! No more government takeovers! No government healthcare! No more corruption! No more global baloneyism!!
We're sick and tired of liberals and RINOs running roughshod over our God given Liberty!
We want our country back! We want our freedom back! We want it all back!!
No more socialism!!
Cut the taxes! Cut the spending! Cut the government!
Restore the constitutional limits on government! Restore our freedom!!
And not only no, but HELL NO to liberals and RINOS!!
Free Republic will not support RINOS!! Rudy McRomney, et al, can go straight to hell!!
The strategy is we win, they lose.
Any questions?
You first have to have a point in order for me to "make it" for you. All you did was make a totally unsubstantiated statement that "if the RNC nominates Sarah Palin to run for President in 2012, it'll be a train wreck."
A paid shill would make a statement exactly like you did, without any supporting reasoning or facts.
So, what is it? Do you actually have some solid reasoning for making that statement, or are you just a paid shill who's trying to disrupt an obviously pro-Palin forum?
Amnesty and his border policies were the first crack in Bush’s armor for me. They weren’t a deal breaker until his penchant to grow the size of government, capped by the bailout plan came to fruition. That was it.
And borders are my main issue. I have a daily ping list that addresses the issue. But I was so enamored with Bush over his WOT agenda, I failed to see the danger. I’m not happy with myself for that.
Coming from someone who fantasizes over private body parts, that's funny.
I am still grateful to Bush for having kept our national security strong and effective for the remaining seven years. And for caring about our military. Of course, that has all changed back again...now.
As for him ok’ing the bailout, I’m not going to condemn him for that. We don’t know what the traitors in charge of ruining the country told him re: the billions of draw-down that occurred back in September. They probably showed him how much money we’d lost and how much we’d have to put back to keep the government from collapsing (hey...now that I think about it...that’s not a bad idea....hindsight).
I do think Bush probably ‘thought’ he was doing what was necessary or best. I’ll give him that. But...yeah. He was conned by the con-artist DemocRATS.
You’re being way too rational for this crowd.
Your rhetoric seemingly implies that there is value in preserving the reign of RINOs and McCain-style moderate-Republicans, harkening to a return of 'politics as-usual'. The old-school term "liberal", has now been displaced in the political lexicon with "moderate" because the new liberals are so far left that they are dominated by Facist-Marxists!
A "Republican-ist" can argue that we can somehow "liberate" the U.S. Congress and Senate (of Reid and Pelosi) by placing brand-name "moderate" Republicans in majority positions? However, reflection on the Bush years has shown most that that politician was cast with the same lot, his momentum in the same direction (i.e., big Government, high-taxes, lost freedoms, Patriot Act, etc.) only on a slow boil instead of full flame-on - as with current Democrats. Both paths lead America to the same dead-end; however, one path is slightly longer than the other.
You, my friend are a mis-guided conservative. True conservatives have crossed their fingers for 2010 redemption, and with it an opportunity to usher in a new breed of Constitutionalists. If, on the other hand, 2010 is disappointing to our breed of conservatism (i.e., Democrats retain majorities in both the House and Senate), then plan B is a New Declaration of Independence and all that entails, my friend.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —
We are rapidly approaching a 2010 'cross-roads' -
Well....I do have my rational moments (smile).
It’s all in good fun. You learn a lot, you get to vent a little frustration, and you can even get snarky with strangers, unlike at the celebration dinner we just had on Thursday (got to be nice to the relatives).
All in all, it’s free entertainment to boot.
Gotta love it. FR Forever!
How was your dinner out? The chili turned out fabulous. Think the crock pot is on its last legs, though.
Sucking up to the Palestinians.
Holding hands with the Saudis.
No more action to keep nukes away from Iran and North Korea than Obama has taken.
W was a RINO in all the ways that matter to me.
The sad thing is that if I had logged on here in October 04 and said "no more RINOs" just like JimRob is saying now, I'd have probably got a zot for my troubles.
I figure the rest of FR is just now coming around to my point of view.
More things should matter to you.
There was the TARP bailout - the template for Obamanomics.
Then let's not forget dinking around in Iraq from 2004-2006, leaving our soldiers as sitting ducks while the bad guys sniped at them from all those "holy sites".
And leaving all the disastrous executive orders of the Clinton era in force.
And letting groups like ACORN get a start on the federal gravy train.
I'm sure i can think of more things about the GWB admin that matter to me, given a few more minutes.
Note if you will your reference to private parts...
It’s a pleasure to have a fair minded guy around here for a change.
Thank you for proving my point.
Now if Bosco were half a man he’d apologize.
But, he’s not and, therefore, he won’t.
We're the most generous country in the world. Let private citizens continue that tradition, not the government.
Don't forget the stem cell lines he opened to research. Some said it was a reasonable compromise. It just opened the door.
And while we're at it, lets not forget the light bulb thing.
Do you always move the goalposts/
Yes, they do and will continue to.
