President Signs CFR Act, Statement by the President 3/27/2002

whitehouse ^ | 3/27/2002 | President George W. Bush

Then you have fallen into the rats plan. You see I know what their plan is. Do you?

I'm not the one who plans to vote for someone who has signed into law one of the most egregious bills since the Alien and Sedition Act (which was signed into law by Preident JOHN ADAMS).

"Oh please, son. Your party passed this out of the House." I know you didn't address that to me, but,
They certainly are not my party. They passed the Gestapo Law without reading it. I don't know about you, but, this is not the kind of leadership I admire. Alan Keyes gets my vote in 2004.

"The last time I voted LP was for Ron Paul in 1988." I went LP in '92 after Bush Sr. lied about his "no new taxes" pledge. Jr. faked me out in 2000, just like his old man did by claiming to be a Reaganite in '88. I try to follow the motto: "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." The Bushies each got me once but neither will get me twice.

There's no guarantee the the supremes will overturn this

If they don't then the bill is constitutional and you should have no beef with Bush's principles.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

I appreciate the fact that you are concerned about defending your 1st Amendment rights, but it is just as important, if not more, to protect the right to life for the unborn--the silent voice in America whose Constitutional Rights have fully been taken away.

An Embryo is a human being too and any manipulation of technology used to create human life does not make human life any less human than before.

[VRWC_minion]

I don't know about you, but, this is not the kind of leadership I admire. Alan Keyes gets my vote in 2004.

I am confused by your post. Are you saying that you disagree that the RATS base won't need some explanation as to why their speech was shut down by Feingold and Daschle who made sure it got thru the Senate ?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

you sure will have a couple of 'winners' there---and give the whitehouse back to the likes of hillary or algore--what a bunch on 'freerepublic', everyday they are going to do something else depending on who voted for what--maybe all you folks better vote 'demonrat' in '04 and get it all over with---i bet you really didn't make any real difference last time or perhaps never even voted at all--sheeesh

I actually voted for Bush, cmotormouth, believing that the alternative, Al Bore-Joe LIE-berman, would be much worse. I stood outside of Cheney's house in bitter cold weather protesting Gore's hijacking of the election. And this is what happens. Knowing that Bush signed this perversion of the Constitution, I will not make the mistake of voting for him again, nor of voting for you.

[IRtorqued]

most likely just because the lesser of two evils has an "R" after his name. even the lesser of two evils is still evil. come on all you bushtheyoungerites, give us that rah, rah zis bush baaahhh.

"Are you saying that you disagree that the RATS base won't need some explanation as to why their speech was shut down by Feingold and Daschle who made sure it got thru the Senate ?"

We all know why Democrats voted for this bill. Since when had they ever have a firm respect for the U.S. Constitution? What worries most of us here, is why exactly the firm defenders of the Constitution--Republicans, voted for this garbage.

[LarryLied]

I voted for Bush and now regret it.

The C-Span script doesn't fool anyone. Your previous replies contradict what you claim.

[exit82]

I plan to vote 3rd party (or is it 2nd party?).

I like that line. The blurring of Democrat and Republican principles will be fatal to the Republican party in the near future ( can you say "Whig"? I knew you could) unless the Repubs wake up, which is becoming doubtful given this year's and last year's stellar performances in DC by them.

We differ on the embryo funding. I though Bush had least took a stand on that one. Not the one I would have taken, but at least he took one. On CFR he just plain ducked. Not acceptable.

[poet]

Say what? You can't be serious. Dear God! You completely ignored my comment relative to him standing up for free speech on his own. If the supremes uphold this, then a prior deal has been struck and it will still be a restriction of free speech prior to a time certain of an election.

[VRWC_minion]

but Bush's staunch conservative base is not as big in numbers as the status-quo of

You are getting closer to realizing that a politician can never be too far from where the majority of the people are. Your disapointment with any politician is merely a symptom of your disapointment with the majority. (Even St. Paul knew this when persuading people to believe in Jesus. He always started where the people were and moved them from there. )

I happen to believe that Bush would move farther right in a heart beat if the population did so but it takes time or a crisis to move people to new thoughts.

Heck if it didn't the gospel would have been preached to all nations in the first year.

[poet]

Do you really think the incumbents won't get around it. My comment about the "leadership" is about the gutless republicans who are nothing more than a rubber stamp.

[deport]

Rebeckie, with your help he may remain or surpass his 2000 total of 98,016 votes.

Keep the cheerleading going..... it is fun to watch.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

If they don't then the bill is constitutional and you should have no beef with Bush's principles.

No, it means that the court failed in its duty to uphold the 9th, 10th, and, more likely than not, the 1st amendments (not to mention Article I, Section 8) via judicial review. Do you really think I'm stupid enough to swallow your bull?

[FreedominJesusChrist]

"The C-Span script doesn't fool anyone. Your previous replies contradict what you claim."

I know that previous statement sounded cliche', but it was true.

I actually volunteered for Bush while I was helping with other campaigns for the Lake County Illinois Republican Party Headquarters this summer. I was also there when Bush came to Naperville and called Adam Clymer an ***hole.

We all know why Democrats voted for this bill. Since when had they ever have a firm respect for the U.S. Constitution?

Except many of their supporters are fervent 1st ammenders. They are not going to be very happy when they wake up and find out they not only were raped they didn't get paid.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

"Rebeckie, with your help he may remain or surpass his 2000 total of 98,016 votes. Keep the cheerleading going..... it is fun to watch."

I will keep supporting and helping out candidates that adhere to the U.S. Constitution and have a firm respect for human life. I like Howard Phillips, Alan Keyes, Larry Klayman...all of them--the underdogs of truth.

[Mulder]

Bush lied to us. During the campaign, he promised to veto this bill. He also took an oath to uphold the Constitution.

He lied on both counts.

He's lost my vote, he will not regain it unless he gets serious about upholding the Constitution.
