Clever, but I suggest you ask ex-Senator Slade Gorton of Washington about how much difference my party has made to Republicans who go back on their word (especially the 2nd Amendment). New Senator Maria Cantwell defeated him by a lot less than the 2% our "insignificant" candidate captured. While you're at it you can ask Senator Jon Ensign of Nevada why he didn't win his election in '98 instead of 2000 (again, a Libertarian received many more votes than the difference between Ensign and the Democrat). You just made a great case to vote AGAINST Libertarians! How any conservative could brag about putting Cantwell in office is beyond my comprehension. Your vote is a gift to the Liberals just as a vote for the Green Party is a gift to the Conservatives.

He has to carefully pick his issues, just as Reagan did. Reagan lost ground on government spending, but he did get extremely high tax rates down, he gave the economy an enormous boost, and he ended the Cold War with the collapse of the Soviet Union without a shot being fired. Bush is out to make our lives safer, and to repair some of the enormous damage to national security done during the Clinton years. Meanwhile, he is going along with a lot of nauseating stuff because he really has no choice.My nomination for Qoute of the Day!

Right on the money. You da man!

Your vote is a gift to the Liberals just as a vote for the Green Party is a gift to the Conservatives. Easy... I'm not a conservative, I'm a Libertarian. I wasn't bragging about getting Cantwell elected, I was bragging about costing Gorton the election because he flip-flopped on guns. One of the reasons I became a Libertarian is to punish Republicans like him for pretending to be something they're not. Since the only language they seem to understand is brute force, that's the way we'll communicate with them. I'm sure he never thought a lowly Libertarian like Jeff Jared could cost him reelection; well now he knows better. Save your tears for the hunters and sportsmen of his state, you know the ones he sold out so he could appeal to the left-wing gun grabbers who wound up not voting for him anyway.

Thank you for your post! You posted some items I had completely forgotten! Thread has been bookmarked for future reference. Thanks again!

I stopped listening to Rush daily, three or four years ago, when he spent
THREE hours talking about toe fungus, instead of Clinton and / or current events. He'd been losing me, for a very long time. If one reads FR, one does NOT need to listen to Rush !
I've tuned in, every now and again, over the ensuing years, only to find that Rush had gotten worse. This incesant Bush Bashing, is boring, counter productive, and isn't doing Rush any good either. He has more people complaing about this, than he has comlmentary E-mails. He hates this, and lost it, on air, several times in the past few weeks. His bloated ego can't take it. The emperor has NO clothes at all, now.
Unlike fringers and political naifs here, Rush actually does know that NO president is Emperor , with unilateral / complete power to do whatever he so desires to do. There are THREE branches of government, and the president doesn't make laws, nor is he able to repeal whatever was done prior to his administration, my saying so. So, this new act, that Rush has instigated, is a losing one, for him, as well as for those few ( who used to hate him / call him names here ) who are now suddenly championing him.
O'Reilly has NOTHING at all to do with this. Rush is a lazy man, who is pompous, arrogant, out of the political loop ( Newtie is no longer feeding him stuff ) , and long ago lost the " fire in the belly " , which made him not only interesting to listen to, but made those who listened to him, feel part of a group of similar , right thinking people. FR, and the FOX CABLE NEWS channel, have made Rushs's show , and Rush, far less relivant and important.

I don't know if you consider the Senate to be one of the "minority factions" but 50 RATs, 49 Pubs, and 1 Independent is not a minority. Nope...I wasn't referring to them.

A quick perusal of the latest Justin Raimondo anti-war screed is usually enough to scare me back into line. The other issue is immigration, which is the one area of policy where
dogmatic libertarians have managed to get a foothold.

"Rush has done far more for conservatives than GW has done." George Bush is a B I G disappointment. As usual, Rush is right. GW deserves to be bashed.
To: TN Republican
Newt's Republicans managed to decrease this kind of spending in 1996. The Republicans under the leadership of Newt passed that smaller Farm Subsidy Bill. Then the Mississippi or Missouri flooded and the whopping supplementals started. There was no way the Republicans could withstand the media chorus directed by Daschle and Gephart: "You can't be meanspirited enough to turn your back on suffering flood victims." And they piled huge supplementals onto the flood relief bills, and probably every other bill that went through congress after that.
Newt tried to say that what the Dems were doing was wrong and against the spirit of the Farm Subsidy bill that had just been passed. He might as well have been shouting in a hurricane. No one listened when he tried to hold down the spending.

Well! There you have it, folks!
A vote, not for principle, but for punishment. Well, at least you're honest.

Rush survives on ratings and listeners. Never forget that. Rush is NOT "always right", as in the case of his Bush-bashing comments. But hey, it get's people to pay attention to him. Personally I can't stnad him, never have and never will.

I've been looking, trying to find Jim Rob's view on voting 3rd party and how it is actually a vote for a Clinton dem. He posted it on a thread a couple of months ago but the find a poster search doesn't go back that far. It certainly backs up the "Thanks for helping elect Cantwell" statement.

Let me ask you a question: Does the coup d'etat in the Senate factor in to your criticism of Dubya?Of course it does... the coup d'etat couldn't have happened without him. Like his father before him who supported Jeffords for reelection against real conservatives (especially in '86) Bush II has made and is making the same mistakes. The big tent is a death sentence for Republicans (at least those who are Constitutionally correct instead of politically correct).
