Everyone who voted for CFR and the Patriot act, along with Bush have just been labeled "traitors." Yes. There were a total of 5 Congressmen who refused to vote for the Patriot act due to the fact that nobody was given the opportunity to read the bill.

Yes indeed. Goldwater did a 180 from 1964 to 1994.
He went from being a conservative Republican, with a radical streak to a liberal-libertarian. In other words, Barry became a has-been.
I much prefer that man who gave "The Speech" for BarryG in 1964. Now what was his name? Oh yea, Ronnie Reagan! Now there's a man I can support. That's the ticket.

Everyone in AZ knows it to be true Wrong. If I find one person that doesn't you're thesis is proven false. I already know 3 personally.

Roscoe, what position did Buchanan give Fulani that put her in a position of power? There isn't any power in a sideshow.

Since you have never read the Patriot Act, you're arguing from ignorance. Oh, but I have read it. There's nothing treasonous about it.
To: Jim Robinson
Jim, I hate to have to tell you, but people who spend as much time in fantasy land as the Bushies do probably don't have a lot of room to accuse others of living in dream worlds.
To: Texasforever
I have, now point out the treasonous portions. If you had, you wouldn't need anyone to point it out.

Maybe I should qualify it... Every Republican AZ freeper knows that McCain is just following in Goldwater's footpaths...
To: quidnunc
I would cut Bush some slack if he wasn't running the country.

The principle of holding the current position at all costs until reinforcements arrive - as opposed to deserting your posts or surrendering to the enemy.
Nice military analogy, sir. Squared away.
HOOAH!

Spoken like a dedicated "Bush" conservative.
But let Bush engage in the same sort of pragmatism and he gets savaged by the wingnuts who considered Pats Pas de Deux with Fulani as something completely unremarkable.
Well Pat's pragmatism got his name on the ballot in 49 states. Bush's pragmatism sees him supporting a $300 billion dollar warmed over Hillary healthcare program. I'm sure you think these are equivelant.
To: DoughtyOne
I said for seniors. Whatever the cost, it is a hugely popular idea. Drug policy is incredibly complicated what with patents, innovations, free riders, litigation and all sorts of other stuff out there. I know that, and how much I have to learn, from reading an outstanding WSJ series of articles on it. The real danger of subsidization is that in the end it may staunch drug innovation.

Let's see. We're talking about positions of strength here. Ok, in my view, the Republicans seem to be in a pretty strong position at the moment with Bush in the Presidency vs the Democrats. And, I presume you are suggesting that the Libertarians or some other unnamed "party of principle" is in a stronger position to defeat them? I don't think so.
To: AAABEST
Well said.

That's what your silly ass believes.
To: marajade
Your thesis still fails. You're engaging in a logical fallacy.

Explain in detail how Bush is supporting Hillarycare. I missed that one in its entirety. What is Kennedy pushing that Bush is backing? I missed that one too.

If you had, you wouldn't need anyone to point it out. LOL if you had a case you could put it forward. BTW Treason is a capital crime. Should Bush be subjected to that, in your learned opinion of course.

Yeh, and more suckers born every minute.
