I have believed in abolishing the income tax (taxing production) for decades. In fact, the Bush administration has been working on simplifying the tax code as a prelude to a national debate on whether to abolish the income tax altogether and what other system of taxation should be put in its place.
Bush’s Education Bill was written by Ted Kennedy for crying out loud
Ted didn't write the parts that mandate testing and accountability with disaggregated reporting of results nor the parts that train teachers in real teaching methods.
Then why didn’t the President even fight the democrats on it? Did he lose his veto pen? [federalizing airline inspections]
He did fight it and did speak out against it. But knitting back the nation's wounds from 9/11 took precedent over making you deliriously happy.
Bill O’Reilly on his radio program uncovered that Bush made a deal with Congressional democrats not to go after Clinton and I think that was a tragedy, but of course you are in the dark on that.
Yep, I'm in the dark on that, even though I watch O'Reilly almost every day.
Robert Ray gave Clinton that slap on the wrist and Bush didn’t even remark about it.
Bush's strategy has gained Republicans control of the Senate, whatever you think about his decision on signing CFR and letting the Supremes sort it out or his decision not to stir up the recriminations pot and trade accusations and acrimony with the Dems over Clinton's past sins. Without this strategy, Republicans would not now have control of the Senate, which you are fighting so hard to throw away right now.
Could we pretty please just get the judges through before you demand Lott's head?
The Farm Bill symbolizes three key things: Socialism, Big Government, and wasting tax dollars. The farm bill will cost households at least $1,805 in higher taxes. The farm bill will cost households $2,572 in inflated food prices. The farm bill will provide subsidies to an already steady and thriving industry. The farm bill promotes further consolidation of farms. The farm bill censors information regarding the recipients of subsidies. There are a ton of other problems. You simply excuse this blatant waste of tax dollars by saying it is the “reason” we took back the Senate?
Yep, it worked.
My hero is Ann Coulter nonetheless.
I adore her.
You are right, I’m much more ideologically in agreement with say the Constitution Party.
You're right, I'm Right.
The Republican Party has become too infected by the likes of you,
You don't remember the Republican party of Eisenhower and Rockefeller, do you? You would call Ike a RINO and Rockefeller a liberal infiltrator, when he was probably closer to Teddy Roosevelt than any Republican you know.
prescription drug coverage, rather than opposing that socialist proposal….people like you embrace it. The only difference between you and a democrat is that they want it to be larger.
No, prescription drug coverage is a lousy idea but like the farm bill, it was the price we paid to win Florida in 2000. And yes, the Faustian pact allows us to cut the scale of what the Dems would have passed if Gore had won.
What you are doing is trying to accuse anyone demanding leadership and representation of being a purist and you want to purge the party to a point where it’ll really be no different than the DNC.
We have leadership. It's not what you want, but then you have admitted you are not a Republican at heart. It's what a majority of Americans want. Government of the people, not of the extremists.
As for the Democrats, they hate me more than you do. I believe in a strong national defense and saying the pledge of allegiance in schools. I am an NRA member and believe the Second Amendment is more important than any other part of the Constitution. I am pro-life. I believe X42 is a sociopath and committed rape and treason and perjury, among other more petty crimes, and would never have taken office in the first place in 1992 if people had not voted for pie in the sky and an chance to check under the hood and see the crazy aunt in the attic. And in 1996, I found out that when Lincoln said "you can fool some of the people all the time" he had no idea how very many people that was.
I close with some words of that RINO who infected the Republican Party, President Ronald Reagan.
"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.
"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'
"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it."
Ronald Reagan, from his autobiography, An American Life
