Thanks for the ping. Unfortunately, the damned UNAPPEASEABLES, will still continue to refuse to see the light.

I think the sensible thing to do in my opinion is to write him and tell him you are disappointed in him, and certainly hope that he will make up for this by being serious about bringing the Federal Budget under control.

I think in Bush's second term, IF he will have a Republican Congress -- and it's up to us to help with that -- he will be enable to do much more in the areas of cutting spending and taxes.

So -- do you want to "cut off your nose to spite your face" or do you really want to have conservative reforms.

Look at the consequences of your actions, don't act in haste for a dubious momentary satisfaction, which will cause tremendous disaster later, such as getting a Dem Congress and maybe not get Bush reelected.

Just think of Dean or Hillary with a Dem Congress, if you don't like what Bush and the curent Congress is doing now.

The thing to do is to elect MORE Republicans, to counteract the Dems, NOT the other way around.

It wasn't 'our votes' that got us 8 painful years of Clinton, it was GHW's failure to uphold Republican values.

Who people voted for had nothing to do with it? And you accuse others of spin, shame on you.

As evidenced by some of the posts right here.

They would rather see the Dems destroy the country, than face reality.

It's crazy, you'd think some of these people were born in '93.

The Dem "divide and conquer" strategy has found it's gullible victims -- the communists very aptly used to call them "useful idiots".

They sell out their own, by claiming "high moral principles". They are the Dems best friends.

They just don't seem to get it, that if you don't vote for a Republican, you get a Democrat.

Even laboratory rats can be thought, and are able to learn, that if you pull one lever, you get a certain thing.

But some are either incapable of learning, that if you pull any other lever, but the one to vote for a Republican, you ARE voting for a Democrat and you are responsible for them getting elected.

Obviously.

Anyone even thinking about NOT voting for a GOPer, because of this or that, has to FINALLY come to grips with the fact that they are helping the Dem candidate. If said candidate is running for either House, then that lose, should there be one, destroys the GOP majority. The GOP majority in the Senate, especially, is so THIN, that the Dems and the damned RINOs get away with murder now. Don't like the fact that the GOP tends to cave? Then for this nation's sake, don't give them any more advatange!

But, as I previously stated, some refuse to learn. They should be forever barred from posting to FR! They don't know and are incapable of comprehending the smallest of facts about government/politics.

No, you quite misunderstood. Try rereading what FO wrote and stop reading posts through your own biases. :-)

As a libertarian, I voted for Harry Browne in 2000. And I still believe in its ideals.

But as somone once said, "Perfection is the enemy of the good." In my view, inspite of things like the steel tarriff and the new Medicare Bill, Bush is more likely to follow the libertarian ideals than any of the Democrats. After all, Ron Paul (R-TX) is a past Libertarian Presidential candidate. And in light of what happened on 9/11, I cannot take the chance that my vote for the Libertarian candidate in 2004 will help a Democrat get into office.

So, Bush will get my vote instead.

Your post made my day! :)

Congratulations for being intelligent, sensible and understanding the high stakes in the next election.

I get it.

Bush bought my vote with a tax cut that my two sons will have to pay for.

He is repeating the VERY same mistakes his father did and believes it will not cost him.

If we let him drift any furhter left he will make Ted Kennedy look like Barry Goldwater.

I guess you will be much happier with Dean or Hillary, right?

I never said I would not vote for Bush!

But I am one of a few dozen in California trying to push him back to the right of the politcal spectrum.

And probably one of about five on this GOP board.

You mean like Barry Goldwater? Right to the end, huh?
