Why should Conservative Christians be excited about voting for this little man? He celebrates heathen holidays in our sacred White House. He makes no effort to roll back the tide of murdering the unborn. He is not actively advancing our agenda. Bush is a LIBERAL and you folks are suckers if you don't believe it.

The issue of abortion is controlled by the courts. There's nothing Bush can do except sign a partial birth abortion ban that Clinton vetoed, but it's not going to be passed with the Senate controlled by the Dem's. So whoever gets to appoint the SC justices controls the future of this issue.

If a SC vacancy were to occur now, Bush would have to appoint another Souter type or Daschle, Leahy, Kennedy and Co. would block it. Even with the Senate controlled by the GOP by 1 or 2 votes, he'd still have to do that. RINO's like Chafee and Specter would vote with the Dems. That's why it's so critical to get the GOP solidly in control of the Senate. Even Bush I appointed Clarence Thomas. He got through only because he talked about a "high tech lynching" which scared some southern Dem's into voting for him.

Prayer in the schools -"wouldn't be prudent." More federal control of the shools -"a smashing idea."

I don't know what you're talking about there. Bush isn't in control of the schools. This issue is also controlled by the courts. Why are you making up quotes?

Actually, there is a lot Bush can do. For starters, he could pressure the GOP controlled House to pass legislation stripping Planned Parenthood of $66 million a year in taxpayers' money.

By subsidizing Planned Deadbabyhood with our tax dollars, the GOP merely gives one of its harshest critics a bigger megaphone with which to denounce it.

Planned Deadbabyhood spent millions to defeat Bush; spent millions to stop Ashcroft; and will spend millions to lead and orchestrate the smear campaign against any Conservative, pro-lifer Bush attempts to appoint to the US Supreme Court. Planned Deadbabyhood even maintained a website www.ROEvBUSH.com up until September 11.

If Bush is serious about advancing a pro-life agenda, he should first defund the leftists who are going to attempt to sabotage his agenda.

Bush should (and might) appoint a well-qualfied conservative Hispanic woman to the court and say I dare you to the Democrats. This would put another conservative on the court and help the president out with Hispanics. I believe that large gains can and will be made with Hispanic voters.
