Giving the benefit of the doubt that there are a few conservatives who are not DUTrolls who are genuinely ticked enough at bush to prefer a dem in office... despite the ongoing war...

They serve a purpose. Those of us slightly annoyed conservatives who dislike the various pandering bush is doing to promote himself as a "compassionate" (code word for spending like a liberal) conservative.. can use these conservative to make a fuss loud enough that bush reins in some of his bs.
Bush has upped spending everywhere... and tossed a few pennies at the worst.. NEA. This sends a shiver down the spine of good conservatives and rightly so... he might as well give money to ACT UP or PETA or GREENPEACE or NOW or the ACLU as give it to the NEA.. He has stabbed us in the back.
I will be voting for Bush.. Bush on his worst day is better than flip flop ass kiss clark or some New England Ted Kennedy Clone.. or any dem..
But those here at FREREP announcing their intention to abandon Bush.. maybe they will scare the white house enough to get some common sense in their heads and do a little reigning in.
And hopefully.. once that purpose is served.. when they walk into the polls and see the list of names on their ballot... maybe kerry...dean.. or whoever. - they secretely make the right choice, and vote for bush; while continuing their God Given American right to be pissed off when the Prez is doing things like some of what he's been doing.. but recognizing how important it is for the Reps to be in control right now.. lest our sovereignty is ceded to France and the UN, the murder of babies continues, your fire arms are removed from your home, and you son is taught to marry men.

A lot of people blow off steam on this board, but when November comes around, they will vote for their best interests.

I've been disappointed with some of Bush's policies and signed bills, but I know that I will probably vote for President Bush in November.

President Kerry is an unacceptable alternative.

[dfwgator]

I think Bush is very fortunate in that foreign policy will be a big issue in this election. I think a lot of conservatives unhappy with Bush may not have minded a Dem winning, since with a Republican-held Congress you would have more gridlock, which would keep spending down (at least that would be the conventional wisdom, depending on how much spine the GOP leadership would have). But in the aftermath of 9/11 that gets thrown out, we just cannot afford to have a peacenik, UN-lover in the White House.

Please just read this and hear me out, it may be a bit rambling so my apologize. You know what is the sad part about this whole tragedy. We all want what is best for the country. We all hold GWB at least in some ways in high regards. And some of us, those who have been very critical of GWB on parts of his domestic agenda are just the tip of the iceberg. The have been numerous articles as of late warning that gwb is angering the base. And those of us, myself among them, who have publicly said that we cannot or will not support GWB know that he is the best one running that can win. We need to start finding ways to move GWB back to the right quickly so that those here who no longer support him will be given real and substantial reasons to reevaluate their choose. Both for them and for all the others out there who are not on this board, but are fed up with the leftist slant as of late. Because if GWB does not at least try to appease the base he very well could go the way of his father. We need to work to bring GWB back to the right and keep his feet to the fire so those of us who are cut loose from the reps now will support him in the fall. We do not need a leftist in the Whitehouse whether he be a rep or a dem

In my case i didn't vote for Bush in 2000 but intend to in November. Obviously I'm no fan of illegal immigration, and seek smaller govt with less spending.

However, the choices this year are few and i WILL NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT with the current crop of clowns in the running. Personally i have trouble believing that Bush is willing to commit political suicide without some unseen motive.

[Finalapproach29er]

Stop Jeb from getting any ideas. I'm fed up up with the blue-blood Bush family.

Anyone that prefers a democrat in office is NOT a conservative. The only purpose you serve is to get what you want; a democrat in office?

[Petronski]

They serve the same purpose as Naderites did for algore.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Bashers

The bashers really make me laugh,
They pick their whining point.
They shout and cry and jump about,
Their nose gets out of joint.
Immigration seems to be,
The one they like the best.
They offer no real counter plan,
Just buzz around like pests.
They say they’ll vote for someone else,
Well heck that is their right.
Some say, that they, will just not vote,
That really isn’t bright.
If democrats should win this thing,
Because we get distracted.
We’ve shot our nation in the foot,
The pain will be protracted.
To anyone that’s on the right,
My free advice will be.
Vote for Bush in Oh Oh Four,
He’s still the one, you’ll see.

When this happened in 91, we got Clinton...this year we will have Kerry...Repub's never learn...the rats never do this, that's why they continue to be in controll.

Kerry 04

[In_25_words_or_less]

Never bet against the incumbent.

[Richard-SIA]

Sept. 13th., 2004

That is the date that will determine if I vote for Bush, or not.

If he signs anything even remotely resembling an extension of, or permanent, "assault weapon" and "Hi-cap" magazine bans he can go to hell.

He must stop the pandering to illegal invaders as well.

I will never vote for a dumbocrat for any office, but if Bush does not get his head on strait by 9/13/04 there is a good chance I will be voting for a "third party" candidate for president.

[Delta-Tango]

The issue of illegal immigration is not only an economic one, especially in my state, but a key national security issue. Bush and his sycophant Rove have blown it.

I'm not voting this November. Until these NeoCons get a defeat -- or an electoral scare -- they will not listen to us. Just keep on giving us that smirk of theirs when they say, "where else ya gonna go?"

[alisasny]

You either vote BUSH or you stay home. Frankly not voting says more about apathy in this country then anything.

I will gladly vote BUSH thankyou. I think he has 4 more years of goodness to do.

[Tempest]

Yes there purpose is to revoke the tax cuts and to install as many liberal judges on the Supreme court as possible.

[Dan from Michigan]

Republican party officials and members read this, and it's not just low level county folks like me. State reps I know have read this site. Candidate Staffers. Even Rush at times.

The posters here are the most active. They and those that think like them are the base. They are often the ones that stuff the envelopes, donate, put the signs up, door knock, phone bank, etc.

If Bush is doing a stupid thing, I'm going to call him out on it here. If he does something real good, I'll also post that here. It blows off steam, but if you get a 1000 level post on it, the word will get out to the officials. Maybe it dies in committee, or gets killed in Congress under the table. Maybe Bush will remember who he'll need to win.

[Tempest]

I'd also like to add that the whiners look forward to removing any signs of Christmas from public display or at least enabling it. They're also in favor of the loss of American soverignty and wish that the UN would come along and take us over.

And why?! Because the President of the United States is not their personal Burger King and they can't have everything their way.

[E=MC²]

Those who think a demonrat President and Republican Congress is acceptable because of stalemate obviously have forgotten the lesson of 8 years of klinton and his "cool - stroke of the pen, law of the land" executive orders. A demonrat President is too dangerous, period.

[Poohbah]

The "conservatives" attacking Bush serve a purpose.

Unfortunately, that purpose is the purpose of one Mr. George Soros.

[OPS4]

Bush is trying to win an election. Amendments can be added to his illegal workers visa bill. It beats the dems give them amnesty stance.

Anyone who believes that a perfect political system can be attained at this time, must be reading Utopian Fantasy.

Bush is trying to walk a fine line until the election campaign begins. Lets realize he can do better for us than any of the democrats currently running, weaking Bush would be opening the door for the Kerry's Dean's and Communist party line.

Ops4 God Bless America!

[Orange1998]

No republican supporter would never spell Bush "bush".
