A Bush Hater's Poll
Jim Robinson

Posted on 07/10/2002 11:27:06 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

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:

  1. Not conservative enough
  2. Not pro-life
  3. Is a gun-grabber
  4. Is a federal power-grabber
  5. Will appoint liberal judges
  6. Is a globalist
  7. Is in it just for oil
  8. Is too soft on immigration
  9. Is too soft (or too hard) on Israel
  10. Is a crook
  11. All of the above
  12. None of the above
  13. Other (you name it)

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

cooking the books is already illegal, isn't it? What do you mean make it "harder" to break the law? Passing a law defines criminal behavior, it can't stop it. Punishment does.

So what is your point?

1) Develop a new 'contract with America', a more constitutional contract with America. It's planks/provisions to be determined, but would run along the lines of:

So all that needs to happen to cause you to drop out helping to elect more Republicans, is disappointment.

Amazing.

That's the difference between the Left and the Right. The people who fight against our rights and our freedoms NEVER become whiney and pathetic because they worked hard and the outcome didn't go their way.

They NEVER require around the clock hand-holding and sympathy. They NEVER become discouraged.

And they NEVER trash other Democrats in print.

The people on the Right are the biggest bunch of cry-baby, fainting wimps that can be imagined. You need to change your name. You're no "Conservative". Reagan would spit you out of his mouth.

Thanks for your reply. Yes indeed The President of The USA has no power to Tax anybody, only the Congress can. But there have been complaints by some "FREEPERS" about Bush not fighting for Cap. Gains Tax cut and hence caused the present down turn in the Stock Market. This is of course nonsense, because Cap Gains tax is totally irrelevant when almost everybody I know lost money(they have no Cap. Gains.)
I just wanted to add this list of Anti Bush complaints to show how stupid some of these Bush haters are.

A genuine conservative would know that having a degree from Harvard or Yale is more likely an indicator of someone groomed to be a socialist rather than being indicative of someone with credentials that imply ability or intelligence.

Deb, many "true conservatives" here yearn to be Democrats ... if only the Dems didn't depise Christian heterosexual white males from the South.

They missed it by that much

I'll take your response to mean philosophically you agree these are good things, but lacking in sufficient definition and what should be done, and consequently unclear as to what benefit might ensue.

I'll post something later to clarify my ideas, and we'll see where it goes from there.

I should be deported for realizing that there is really no war? All I have seen, is justification for spending, intervention worldwide, and of course grounds for telling people who disagree with policy to shut up. My problem is the weak response to a direct attack, it has been 10 months, air travel is no safer, there have been no mass deportations of enemies (you know there are thousands), and the borders still leak like a sieve. Maybe it is safer in Afghanistan, but not on the homefront. How can we fight a war if we are unwilling to call the enemies names? The war on terror, is going to end up exactly like the war on drugs, the terror will not ever stop, money will be spent by the billions, and every once in a while, we will declare a great step towards the goal of a terror free society. Except of course during election seasons, when both parties will proclaim that they are the best prepared to lead us to victory.

I meant the first in a long line of Presidents to fight this war. The towel headed demon worshippers started it.

Any person with an ounce of brain power will understand that it is the individual who should make the most of their education, not the other way around.

Harvard and Yale are both excellent schools and although they may employ some real liberal professors, that does not mean that their students have to agree with everything they say.

George W. attended Yale and I do not believe him to be a socialist, but a moderate conservative.

Education should always be what the individual chooses to make of it, not vice-versa.

telling people who disagree with policy to shut up.

Sounds like sound advice given you have no clue about the subject.

No thanks, I'm fine, maybe you should think about where he is leading the Republican party. But then you may approve of the direction.

We don't need to destroy an entire race, just as many as we need to, so they can no longer function as a society. Our response to the attacks has been weak and measured, instead of massive and widespread.

Remove my name from your ping list......

You start with a false premise; therefore, there is no need to respond.

Other:

I think he has been terrific on foreign policy - particularly the war on terrorism and his handling of obnoxious treaties. On the home front he has disappointed me again and again. I think that this may be a reflection of his cabinet and other appointees. Rumsfeld is outstanding - IMO the best Defense Secretary in my lifetime. Powell is doing what he is supposed to as Secretary of State. His job is to negotiate and, while I disagree with him on may things, I think he has done a pretty good job at what he was hired to do. On the homefront, to me they all seem like lightweights. Mineta, a Clinton holdout is awful, Whitman is even more disappointing at EPA than she was as Governor of NJ, Ridge is simply an embarrasment, and I don't have much confidence in O'Neil at Treasury. The rest have been largely under the radar screen.

One would think that with his approval ratings he would take to the bully pulpit to get some of his domestic issues through but so far all he has done is do the Democrats' bidding.

I think he is a decent, honest person and that is a huge improvement over Clinton, but his "go along to get along" attitude needs some adjustment. Well, he is what we have so we have to make the best of it - certainly a lot better than having Gore in office.
