Stick With President Bush In November (Good Reasons NOT To Stay At Home) (My Title)

This is why I asked you why you bring this stuff here:

That post is Jim Robinson's. It is very clear on what the mission of Free Republic is.

You are campaigning for a democrat and it doesn't belong here.

Free discussion and sharing of ideas is one thing, but openly trying to recruit voters for a democrat is quite another.

Most of us are here because we strongly feel that this country needs another Bush term.

Terms like deceptive and violence that you included in your post are way out of bounds. They are not true and you know that.

You see, you may have perfectly reasonable things to say, but when you mix it with garbage like that, no one will care what you have to say.

If you can't get anyone to care, you can't accomplish anything.

This is a forum that has re-electing President Bush as it's mission.

I think that you are not as dead set against George W. Bush as you try to let on.

You just want your voice heard. I don't agree with everything that President Bush does either.

No one does, but posters like you that attempt to draw blood defeat your own purposes.

Please take a careful look at our options besides President Bush. Think back to the type of man George Bush has shown himself to be.

I will not forget what happened on 9/11 and the way this President rose to that challenge.

He has never forgotten his promise to us. He has put his entire presidency on the line to keep his promises. I will keep my faith in this President.

First, I do not agree that this forum is only about the reelection of GWB for if it was there would be little to say.

This forum was founded before GWB and it is about the maintenance of our Constitutional Republic, that is, our free Nation, FreeRepublic, get it? When any politician does damage to the only unified religious document we have by law, The Constitution of the US, and I use the concept of religion just as the religious believe in the Bible, that is, if one is a believer, one believes. For example, if one claims to be a Roman Catholic, can one be a RC if one doesn't believe in the presence of Mary, or the infallibility of the Pope? The answer is that they can still attend church but if examined they would not be truly religious as those who profess their Catholicism and vote pro-abortion.

Well, for those who profess their love of country but pick and choose which article and amendments of the Constitution they will support and uphold is an affront to the document and the nation. It is indeed doing violence to the nation just as invaders may intend to do. That is why in the oath of office the phrase, "protect and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic" is worded to allow consideration of all kinds of enemies, even those who lack the principle to stand up on election day to vote for those who will do as the oath requires or not to vote for those who have done damage to our only true national religion.

Please understand, I wish GWB didn't put me and others in this position, but he did, and unfortunately, history will not be kind to his legacy.

If this seems self-serving, so be it.

I warned and warned and warned leaders in the GOP, and my fellow FReepers, about the very things that are happening before our very eyes.

It still doesn't have to be fatal, but a full and robust recovery now for the Republican body politic will require some humility on the part of some of those same leaders.

And that thought is quite discouraging. They are as likely as not to use this as an opportunity to beat conservatives even more thoroughly, and worsen the problem...just as many here are busily doing the same.

Having said all of that, let me add: this article is a reminder why Henry Lamb has been one of my favorite people for a long time.

It may have taken the democrats sixty years, but it took Dubya only three years to take one of the most gigantic steps toward nationalized health care since World War II.

I would much rather have GWB in office than any Democrat. He needs to win the hearts and minds of the vast middle America suburban voter with 2 kids, an SUV, and a dog and cat. Right now with the looming deficit, uncertainity over troop deployments and any number of other concerns, the voters, at least going by the latest favoribility poll of yesterday, shows that voter confidence and favoribility are down for GWB and I suspect very few are reading these threads. I have other concerns however and we, if I can speak for others, are much more politically sophisticated to only consider what is on the evening network news or in the polls. What I detect is a precursor to the issues that voters eventually consider but in another form.

I will say that if the US is attacked again, that if we find other Nations targeting WMDs against us, that if OBL is running loose organizing terrorists, then GWB will be at his best and will run strong. But if it is about bringing troops home, good jobs, borders, deficits, health care, and his cabinet, then I think we are in for a long haul.

You have always been correct, I do desperately want GWB to succeed, but I liked him the way he ran in NH four years ago.
