For those of us playing at home, can you be specific?

For those playing at home, on a political website, who profess to know a little something about politics... I shouldn't have to.

But... if you don't think there is a difference... then I do not doubt your sincerity...but I do have to question your wisdom.

Oh. We need your vote in November. You're going to be there, right?

Politicians reflect the people of the country.

If the people didn't have their hand out for entitlements then politicians wouldn't be giving them away.

The truth is that the majority of America wants a sugar daddy in DC.

And some of you here want to give them an even bigger sugar daddy by electing a Democrat.

And then promptly lost their nerve when Bill Clinton managed to blame them for shutting the government down.

Yup.

Lost their nerve.

Perfect description.

They should have been holding press conferences every single day saying the government will stay shut down until such time as the president comes to his fiscal senses.

The American people respond to honesty and guts.

Not mealy-mouthed appeasers.

[carton253]

That's because they lost their conservative will and started compromising.

Yeah... because they learned quickly (quicker than other so-called "conservatives") the reality of politics in America.

The 1994 Contract with America was a beautiful thing... but it could not be sustained in the 1990's political culture. It died because the electorate (on a whole) is not conservative.

[Columbine]

The American people respond to honesty and guts.

Yes, they do. That's why they responded to a president who had the guts to go after terrorism where it lives.

With a Democrat we will go back to whining at the UN and turning the other cheek.

Bush and his advisors toss the conservative base an occasional bone when they hear the grumblings of unrest.

For example, Pickering's appointment after the illegal immigration bedacle and his "budget reduction" makeover after additional funding to the NEA.

He got a free ride from mounted criticism about CFR and his Education Bill because of 9/11.

Now watch what happens in the next few weeks when he extends unemployment benefits...we can expect another bone to be tossed our way. Those who do the greatest harm to the conservative cause are those who accept pandering and mediocrity. And it will continue as long as these people forgive and forget, and say "see, he's a conservative".

It has to get worse before it gets any better. Bush has divided his party, and the only way to unite is for Bush to move right, or the party lose the White House. And to move Bush right, the ENTIRE party must hold him accountable and demand he govern, in all aspects, with the conservative leanings we expected when he was elected.

[carton253]

Of course not...

What I'm saying is if you do not know the difference between the two candidates, I have to wonder just how politically astute you are...

[Columbine]

Don't you do any reading on your own? Why do you expect others to tell you where the candidates stand?

Use Google and find the candidates websites. Look at the issues that are most important to you and compare what they say.

[carton253]

Newly arrived from Mars, eh?

Then I suggest you watch the news and read the newspapers... that will catch you up to speed. Get back with me in a week... then we can talk politics... because your lack of understanding is only going to get in the way.

[Columbine]

Oh, I see. You've been here just a few days.

Did you come to play with the Freepers?

When hundreds of thousands of illegals per year can cross our borders with impunity, our sovereignty is at risk.

You're preachin' to the choir, friend. I live in Hereford Arizona and you can't get much closer to the "front lines" than that. Just last night someone was trying to come in through our back door. We've found camp sites on our land and caught Mexicans trying to get into our shed.

I'm not happy with everything GW's done, but it could've been a LOT worse had Algore won the election.

[carton253]

No...I am able to.. I'm just not willing to waste my time restating the obvious to a newbie who could care less what I post.

If that gives you the "victory"... I can live with that.
