Conservatives, Cut Bush Slack

But I do know that I much prefer President Bush's way of conducting politics to the slash and burn, personal attacks of some of these people, who to me sound just like James Carville.

What do you mean slash and burn? Is standing up for what you believe slash and burn? Is doing what you said you'd do slash and burn? Early in in GW's presidency he was fulfilling his promises and the liberal media was shocked that a politician was keeping his word. Now that he's started to change on several positions have you noticed how the media have let up on him? Coincidence?

Now if you take the extremes like he should mandate all abortions be illegal and challenge it in the Courts and that he should try and pass a flat tax right this very moment--then yes that is slash and burn. Especially since it isn't what he promised during the election. All I want is for him to keep his promise. He promised me things and I promised him my vote. I delivered on my promise--has he delivered on his?

Sure, I'm such a loser that I'm 49 and in my fifth year of retirement. How's your winning lifeplan coming, son?

"You are know by the quality of your opponents."

-- This mornings group being an exception, of course.

>>>Can't be bothered to ping him but I assume he meant to type "Rainman" when he was registering!

That's right, don't show any FReeper courtesy, don't ping me. CJ was right, "[t]he only people tpaine gets any respect from are the discredited retreads".

Visine Eye Drop = blustering, boisterous, brainless retread!

Disability?

Really, What happened in 1992 when the RATS owned everything?

You got the whole radical leftist agenda. Seems like you want to return to those days.

[Sabertooth]

I already told you, these anti-Bush people/forces, aren't interested building any coalition with the President's supporters. They all hate Bush and disdain conservative Republicans.

True about some, wrong about most. That's a really tired play at marginalizing those who criticize the President.

So much for your coalition-building skills.

Btw, exactly when did you change your tune about President Bush and decide to support him? I don't remember seeing that one.

I support him when he's right, and bash him when he's wrong. Though he's come close to losing it, for now, on balance, the President has my vote. Where have I said otherwise?

[doryfunk]

Reagan Man wrote, "They all hate Bush and disdain conservative Republicans."

Bush is not a conservative. I like Ron Paul.

[Texasforever]

Touchy, isn't he?!

I'm not. Take a shot.

Yep, probably a forced retirement.

[tpaine]

Careful! -- You're getting close to being given the wet noodle treatment from these clowns.

Stings like hell, but tasty.

[Reagan Man]

>>>Sure, I'm such a loser that I'm 49 and in my fifth year of retirement. How's your winning lifeplan coming, son?

I'm 49 too.

So you're on retirement disability. BIG DEAL. Mental stress got to be too much for ya. Too bad. So sad.

I made a killing in the stock market.

I'm independently wealthy.

[Twodees]

Disability? Of course not. I can start back into business when I want to. Maybe when my daughter is in first grade I'll do just that if I'm bored by then.

You got the whole radical leftist agenda. Seems like you want to return to those days.

Actually if you haven't noticed we are getting there, but faster than we were in '92. Actually I posted the wrong date. I meant to say 1992-1994, but either way the point stands. The liberal left passed a tax increase and was trying to do other wacky things like socialized healthcare. Then 1994 the conservatives led by Newt and the Promise with America took over. And they delivered on those promises!

[tpaine]

He just had to move from Chicago. - Rent was due.

[sinkspur]

You are the one who should give up the idea, PROVEN WRONG TIME AFTER TIME, that big gooberment has all the answers.p>I have. Most of the answers are found in local communities, individuals, businesses.

. If you don't believe it does, why don't you have the b@lls to stand up and fight it?

You mean by voting for losers like Harry Browne, Pat Buchanan, and Howard Phillips? I prefer to work on my state reps, school district reps, and city council to keep my local taxes low and try to maintain high property values in our neighborhoods.

Working at the national level is too frustrating.

[Cultural Jihad]

No one must be pleased by this coarsening of the threads except DU and other anti-FR losers. All I am asking is that the personal attacks be brought to a low roar if at all possible. If I am guilty of using personal attacks against anyone then I apologize. A lot of good people spend a lot of time and effort and personal sacrifice to make this website a force to be reckoned with, and we don't enjoy seeing it coarsened and marginalized by toilet talk.

He's got better things to do, so he's ignoring the likes of you. Me, I guess I'm a sucker for a good scrap. I do wish you authoritarians would actually put UP a good scrap instead of just hurling the same tired epithets all the time. Sometimes, I do admit, even you have the odd flash of rationality, so I wonder... do you just lay down til it passes or what? Who knows, with practice you might be able to actually learn to THINK... Then it'd be pure joy to talk with you. Sadly, I see no such future for some of your buds...
