I believe Bush is going to lose his bid for re-election.

And if this happens, who shall we "blame"?

If I choose to rebel against the crabs in the bucket--and
vote for the man I think has made a stand ,and upheld the
Constitution,and Rule of Law--and those blind subjects of
Political Party loyalty those bound by the two Party
system,those who will not vote their conscious --but hold
hold their nose and vote for whatever crumbs they are tossed.If they continue to support what is corrupted,or
contrary to sound principle--I have no control over any
but myself. If Bush loses because less than enough see
justification for voting for Bush --I blame him.

You blame Bush and his advisors. No politician should ever alienated his core supporters. BTW those Arnie was a rino before the election and he is morphing more and more to the dim side!

Then again, you believe virtually every Republican outside Idaho and Utah will lose their elections.

It sounds as if this is what you would like to happen.

Maybe you missed the message that Freepers who want to use the site to, in essence, help facilitate the election of a Democrat may find themselves not welcome here.

You're welcome here, after all, debate among conservatives is what FR is all about.

But I expect GW to win convincingly, in spite of his big spending ways. I think most Americans see terror as the top issue and have faith in GW to fight it.

Of course you do, Teddy. In fact, you are PRAYING that he loses. The dreck you post daily reflects your desire to undermine Bush.

Joseph Farah is becoming the Chuck Baldwin of WND. He's railing against Arnold, who has been governor all of two and one-half months!

Farah has lost all credibility with thinking voters.

In politics, the perfect is the enemy of the good. Farah lives in some kind of Utopian dream world. In the real world we just muddle along with better or worse politicians, and GWB is certainly one of the better ones.

Also, politics is the art of the possible. You can't get everything you want, so you have to give in on some issues in order to win on the most important ones. For the most part, Bush understands this very well.

Unfortunately, I agree that on occasion recently he has given in when he didn't have to, and indeed he has weakened himself by doing so. That applies to the immigration issue, and to two relatively minor spending issues which were, nevertheless, politically stupid. I refer to the proposed increases in NEA funding and international AIDS relief.

Otherwise, Bush has done very well, and has stuck to his guns on three basic issues: the war, the defense of life, and judicial appointments. He has also given us some nice tax cuts to match those foolish spending decisions.

You're being led by the nose. This whole article is just smear and wishful thinking.

And people are angry about this journalistic betrayal of trust, and rightly so! And they won't be fooled again!

"They're angry. They're right to be angry. And they won't get fooled again

this is the only part he's mistaken about!

*If* President Bush were to lose reelection, the blame would fall squarely on himself and anyone else who supports liberal Republican policies.

The folks who are not willing to hold the President and the GOP accountable for their actions will blame the conservatives.

I notice a lot of people on this thread attacking you (the messenger) and Farah. That's their right, of course.

But I think everyone should be asking themselves this question: Has the liberal legislation passed in the last couple years (Farm Bill, Education Bill, Prescription Drug Bill, CFR, etc) strengthened Bush's bid for reelection, or weakened it?

I believe it's weakened his ability to win. Unrestrained spending in the face of new deficits will be demagogued by liberals. That's fact. Despite all the ranting and raving to the contrary, this administration had better move right if it wants to win come November.

It's time to stop pretending that it works to support the "lesser of two evils." It's time to stop pretending that we can expect constitutional, limited government by electing people to office who have no respect for constitutional limited government. It's time to stop pretending that not voting in a race with only bad choices is a waste of a vote. It's a waste of a vote to give your support to a candidate who will betray his oath of office.

This doesn't fly too well around here (FreeRepublic). Too many people whored out to the Republicans. I don't understand it. The only time one's political voice ever matters.....ever matters at freakin all, is when they pull the ballot lever. To pull the lever for somebody hostile to the Constitution and Bill of Rights is wrong. But, that's what Republicans and Democrats do. It makes them feel good.

Give me the Constitution and Bill of Rights. If Republicans, Dems and others can not follow the law of the land then maybe they can follow this: When you vote for somebody openly hostile to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, I have no moral obligation to tolerate you. Indeed, I'm morally bound to shame, shun and scorn you.
