He seems to be implying that Dubya is lying when he states the philosophical virtues of his agenda (and that his "real views" are different) and is only adopting leftist programs for purposes of pure and cynical expediency. If so, Dubya would be an even more dangerous liar than Clinon

I don't recall using the term Bushbot hardly any, if ever. I always preferred "moderate."

Me too. Although I did stoop to 'nihilist' today... ;-)

Thank you,christine.

"They are pushing for an 'ignore' button...after all, their vision of FR is to make it a pep rally, instead of what it has always been; a place to promote conservative ideals."

Well,there's a fine example of a conservative ideal,
does it come with a 'buddy list',too?
Oh,I see there are many options,that's nice...so,when does this new version of chatty kathy's clique wars launch? Not that there's anything wrong with that.< /sarc>

"...a way to block the snivelers would be appropriate!!"

SHEEESH, blackie...acknowledging that conservatism is getting the short shrift from a man we worked sooooo hard to get into power does not make one a "sniveler." Seems to me, Dubyuh's willingness to enact the Left's Agenda for the last nine months has solidified his "Compassionate" bona fides, how 'bout we concentrate our time between now and November proving Bush's "Conservatism"?!

FReegards...MUD

Two complete different terms.

"Moderate" implies that there is some thought process involved, faulty as it may be.

I believe they would LOVE to turn this country back over to the Democrats, thus destroying this country, thinking that then their MARGINAL candidate would ride to the rescue. BAH.

It's so easy to pontificate when you're never been in a position to have to do anything at all.

The disaffected dogmatists on this forum would have shrieked just as shrilly during the Reagan administration.

I'm sorry, but that's a cheap shot.

Conservative discuss issues on the merits of the issues and what's best for the country as far as they can see it. To trash them like that is just unfair.

In foreign policy, Reagan accomplished the evisceration of the great Communist threat. He was the architect of the peace we have enjoyed, and the main reason why we don't wonder any more if we'll be crisped in our sleep by incoming Soviet warheads.

In domestic policy, Reagan sounded a number of themes like welfare reform that have come to pass thanks to the efforts, not of the self-satisfied Bush/Rockefeller/white-shoe Wall Street Wing of the GOP, but of conservative Congressional strivers like Newt Gingrich and the Class of '94 that forced the pen of the Great Defiler to sign a welfare-reform bill such as Reagan was vilified for envisioning. Reagan had to compromise with the opposition on occasion -- but he didn't compromise himself first, which is what business-wing Republicans always do. In fact, they have a mentality that is pre-compromised, and the Democrats always know to discount their every position and initiative, because in political bargaining, they're basically a bunch of chumps even when they do care!

"I am getting the impression that they really don't want their "issue" satisfied...they are hoping for the "revolution" and "bloodbath"..."

Such IGNORANT comments are beneath you, Duke...MUD

Very well reasoned. Bump for common sense.

You are not permitted to have that opinion. Get back in ranks.

Sorry, not enough exclamation points!!!!!

Nice try, but your sincerity is questionable. You are now on the list.

Well, we can't all be self-serving, self-promoting, pontificating posters.

Of course we are. We all are.
