I have been lurking since 1999 and the issue of Rush bashing Bush is not true. Bush could not have a bigger supporter than Rush. How soon they forget the battles of the primaries and the election of W as POTUS. The cry of Bush Bashing by the Bush Bots whenever anyone tries to point out the some of the problems with President Bush's domestic polices is getting out of hand. They have started sounding no different from the ClintonDrones every time Slick came under fire.
The last time I checked we (Conservative Republicans) were the party were policy was debated on intelligent discussion of principles and not knee-jerk emotionalism like the left.
I voted for President Bush and gladly support him in our fight against terrorism. He is doing a great job on that front. I reject all this garbage about W knowing what was going to happen and did nothing about it.
I hear a lot about we are not looking down the road far enough by bringing up conservative ideas at this time. But in the long run coming in November what are Republicans who are running for the Senate and Congress going to say when they are accused of right-wing extremism by the left when the left defends the same polices that W favored to take away votes from Democrats? This is the problem I'm looking at. President Bush is the Party spokesman so it is going to be hard to run to the right of him and not disagree with his polices. People forget that in 94 we won the majority by putting forth consevative principles using the Contract with America in nationalizing issues.
Yawn, pardon me if I'm skeptical about someone's opinion, who reads this forum for three years, before they decide to comment.......
I mean seriously, since 1999 we've been through a national election, in which your candidate had a virtual coup d'etat against him. A circus of lawsuits in Florida, in an attempt to usurp a legitimate US election. We've been attacked on our own soil, by islamic fundamentalists who hi-jacked civilian airliners and used them as bombs, we've gone to war......In all of that three years, the first issue that compelled you to post was a hyped-up story from the NYT that Rush used to get ratings? Color me skeptical!
I agree with that. Foreign policy, he's doing very well. I have no complaints.
My complaints are National policies. After the war, we're stuck with every bill the Democrats put on his desk. We will all have to live with them, and the kids, and the grandkids. New social spending never goes away, nor do new programs. It's very rare to see anything in Wa. be cut back.
