No, there is no issue. The alternative is worse than hell. Now if he dumped Laura and married Hillary and tried to make us use the Euro and turned our military over to the UN and agreed to teach Islam as a national religion I would not support him. But think about the alternative,,geeze,,I would vote for anyone other than a dem.

Fair enough. Here's my deal...

I'ver voted a straight GOP ticket for 10 years. I've grown increasingly disenchated from '96 on with the lackluster leadership of the Republicans.

But I've voted for wimps and moderates and pro-choicers and weak-on-sovereignty types, as long as they were GOP.

Now, I've become concerned that my loyalty is my weakness, that my vote is taken for granted, so I am not heard. Our franchise is the currency of our democratic republic, so if our public servants do not fear losing our business, what leverage do we have?

Why do you suppose politicians spend so much time courting swing voters?

HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU GIVE THIS SITE?

[KantianBurke]

$100000000000000000000000 dollars. Now go and do ur homework kiddo.

Seriously , do you have to display your arrested emotional state in public ? I dont think its necessary . Please , step away from your moms computer . I simply must insist Sir .

[Sabertooth]

YOU both CANBITEMYASS.

Aww... just them?

Some of you people need to get a grip and stop being the epitome of the whining conservative whose sole mission in life is to hate everyone in charge. There are some things I don't support in Bush's administration. There are many I support. I refuse to compare him to Clinton and anyone who does so is absolutely sick.

Now, if he signs CFR, Bush may turn out to be more damaging to this country than Clinton ever was. Pray to God that does not happen because I will turn my back on him and I know a lot of FR will as well, all the while our freedoms would be stifled.

You both make some excellent points and observations . Like you Saber , I have always voted straight gop , from the city commode cleaner to the President . In my observations the 2 dominate parties have simply gotten to cozy together , so the lines have gelled together . I think they court the swing vote because it simply feeds the machine .

[Darlin']

Why not put the blame for your disappointment where it belongs.... with Congress ? Why not turn the energy that you expend griping about the President to good use for a change ? Why not try to help the President help the country instead of bashing him ? Lobby those spineless wonders in Congress and tell them the President could use some Pubbies that he can count on. If they're not up to the task tell them you'll find someone who is. Seems to me that would be a much better use of your time and energy than sitting on your behinds complaining about the President.

Well, you obviously don't live near the border. We had two accidents involving scores of illegals that filled up our trauma centers.

How do you inculcate the rule of law in young people when you reward those who flout our laws? THIS was PANDER, pure and simple, and how ANY intelligent person can agree with it is beyond comprehension.

[Letitring]

So. Another Ross Perot you and your kind are running? THUS giving us another 8 years of damned Democrats.???????

[Sabertooth]

I think they court the swing vote because it simply feeds the machine .

It's because the swing voters decide the outcome.

Each party can generally count on 40% of the vote, rain or shine. That leaves 20% in play.

That's the 20% they pander to, so I guess I need to be a GOP swing voter.

If Bush is looking for latino votes in the amnesty he should forgrt it. Dems will be recruiting these former illegals (some of whom have already been voting Dem) assiduously

[BiggerBird]

Are you Helen Thomas, does anyone know you're without adult supervision????

[Letitring]

Done it.Looks like maybe a buck to me.

[Sabertooth]

I refuse to compare him to Clinton and anyone who does so is absolutely sick.

I think the point of the thread was to put things in perspective, even among those of us who've been critical of Bush lately.

[Letitring]

OMG. Be still my heart. Does this mean "you guys" are gonna pile on? Whoopee. I can't stand people like you. Whatcha gotta say here? You captioned anything? Stated anything POLITICAL? NNNNNNNOOOOOoooooooooo. Just PERSONAL attacks. LOL.

[DLfromthedesert]

You call that Security? Getting felt up by perverts and having our property stolen by low-lifes who aren't even citizens?? What are you, crazy? Or just a sheeple?

I ask you, Jim, what am I? Crazy for supporting your web site? Does this attacker? You choose. You won't ever have to ban me. I will leave willingly. Your choice, Jim.

[Ben Bolt]

With all do respect Darlin , you dont know me . Frankly I think you addressing me in this way displays a severe short coming . I'll refer to it as very assuming up to this point . If " Letitring " is still around I suspect you will hear from him shortly .
