This is an unofficial quick and dirty presidential poll. Apparently, there is a good sized contingent on Free Republic that believes that President Bush is:
Please list the numbers that best match the reasons you don't like Bush (or state other reasons if not on the list) and state whether you believe that President Bush should be defeated even if it means installing a Democrat in the Whitehouse.
Conversely, if you believe President Bush should be re-elected, please state why.
Please state who you would like to see win the Presidency in 2004 and whether or not you believe he/she has a chance of winning.
Thanks,
Jim
Exactly.
I'm sure that a great number of the pro-choice crowd are adamant about their right to determine their babies death since they themselves have had abortions and can not stand to face the truth that they murdered their son or daughter. They then have to defend pro-choice or what does that make them?
They might try. Ron Paul at least has a voting record, so we know what he tries to do.
Alan Keyes has never been elected to any office, so we know what he says, we don't know what he would do. He'd have to deal with Congress, and he wouldn't be able to get any laws passed or repealed without their cooperation.
Problem is, first he'd have to get elected, and a lot of people just flat don't like him. I voted for him in the 1996 and 2000 primaries, but my husband wouldn't consider it. Said Keyes was an arrogant S.O.B. and was all talk. I still agree with many things Keyes says, but I've since decided my husband might have a point.
Married a smart man, did you?....... lol
I've seen very few actually even suggest an alternative to Bush. Most of the suggested alternatives ran in 2000 and received very few votes, so they're not viable alternatives.
I guess I'm sort of a minority; Bush wasn't even one of my top 5 choices in the primary (didn't think he was conservative enough) but he's done a lot better than I expected. Not perfect, no, but better than I expected.
I also think he will appoint conservative judges (if he can get them approved by the Senate) and I think that will help considerably.
Care to retract your smear attempt?
Good point!
:-)
Unfortunately reality smacks us in the face and even the brain dead understands you can't get everything you want in this world. These so called "true Conservatives" here are really just inbreaded cave dwellers who don't have a grasp on reality or life for that matter. The third party candidates they worship will NEVER get elected, That's not saying they're not good people, it's just the simple fact that they will never be elected. This holds true for extreme left wing liberal. It's simply never going to happen in this period in our history.
Back to the President. I voted for him and was not expecting him to be Reagan like, especially after the election we had to suffer through. But President Bush has impressed me in far more ways than he has disappointed me and it's my opinion that he has a very good chance of going down as one of the best Presidents this country has ever been blessed with.
Not a single one of these Bush bashing nimrods will change my mind, onlt the actions of George W. Bush can do that and so far he has surpassed my expectations and I thank God we have him as our President in these difficult times.
A straight party ticket that can beat the democrats is the only way to win this country back. After we get it back and prove we can navigate this country through the challenges we face, we will have much more of a chance to nominate and vote in a Constitutional Conservative President who understands we are a diverse nation that needs to be convinced our message is the best for our survival. A whole bunch of work on the grass root level needs to be done before we ever see this happen. If we repeat the mistake we made in 1992 by voting in protest, we will hand the keys to the city right back to the liberals
The vast majority of principled pro-life folks care about a broad range of issues...constitutional adherence, national defense, taxation, regulation, education, foreign affairs...to name but a few. I don't think I've ever met this mythical 'single-issue' person anywhere.
But the sacred nature of innocent human life is critically important and central. That's why the attack on 9-11 is such an atrocity, and is perceived as such...it was a murderously evil attack on noncombatant innocent men, women and children...the lawless and wicked taking of innocent human life.
I am always instantly suspicious of the motives of those who attempt to use the 'single-issue' smear on pro-life people.
Why are you doing this? Do you support the killing of one and a half million babies every year in this country?
I agree with both of you.
EV, EV, don't be so paranoid! There are at least NINE other "single issues" on JimRob's poll.
