You made Instapundit

unfortunately im hearing from some of my friends this exact statement...but its a long way till election day...but as far as the senate in control of republicans..since when?

[Publius6961]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
This guy sure gets around.

Around here, in the Sacramento California area, there are a group of these "progressive, kool aid type" clowns calling the talk shows going through the comedy routine, I am a lifelong Republican, but..."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

They really think it's working!

"...he started by mocking The President and calling him names and then railing on about how all the President cares about is his tax breaks ..."

Isn't it remarkable that this mass hysteria affects professors exactly the same way it affects our resident village idiot at work?

Namecalling... the first tipoff.

[Publius6961]

I can't believe anybody who would make the inane statements we see above, could EVER have been a Republican or Bush supporter to begin with.

Whenever I run across a wingnut trying this loser technique, I immediately agree with him:

Yeah! The U.S. is too influential, too successful, too innovative, too rich and too helpful to other loser countries.
It pisses me off!

... so I'm setting the barn on fire to get rid of the rats!

[gatorbait]

Quoting Warren Buffet who fought the President over tax cuts and almost every positive economic proposal? There's someone I just know care about me and all of us who show up and do our jobs.

Your cowl is on too tight.

Your rantings are completely illogical. The wealthy are leaving. Why? Because Bush cut income, capital gains and dividends taxes? It is just such a bunch of garbage. Here I am use to hearing that Bush panders to the wealthy and we have a right-wing extremeist telling me he is driving them away. Since the USA has among the lowest taxes in the world, I am ppretty safe is saying that this guy is printing is absolute 100% trash.

I wont write a long rant like you did. Unlike you I dont thank you are woth the time or effort.

You rant about the Patriot Act killing wealth and forcing people to move I guess to high tax countries in Europe. But yet you dont offer any concrete examples only rantings.

It is completely dellusional to believe that Americans are leaving this country because their wealth is being destroyed the the President and are relocating to countries with significantly higer confiscatory tax rates....

Ans I stand by my position that 350,000 Americans are not leaving the country each year permanently due to their wealth being destroyed.

[raloxk]

problem with you guys on the extreme right or left, is you refeuse to acknowledge the threat posed to this country by terrorism and islamic-fascism. People like you offer no solution to the threat, blame the US as Pat Buchanan and our FR friend Richard W do or blame Israel.

In so far as the Patriot Act prevents terrorism, it is enhancing freedom. Nothing will destroy freedom faster than rampant terrorism.

Mark Strassmann: “Democrats want to exploit a contrast with Lieutenant George Bush. They charge the future Commander-in-Chief was AWOL. Call it a clear warning shot on the debate to come about national security.... Bush’s service record cuts deep for this group: veterans campaigning for John Kerry, state by state.” David Mitchell, identified as a “Republican” veteran: “He wasn’t there when we needed him.”

– CBS Evening News, February 4.

COLUMBIA, S.C., One veteran, David Mitchell, said he had to wait 17 months to see a doctor after returning home from combat. Mitchell served in the armed forces up through the first Gulf War, ( interesting phrase ) and walks with a cane.

COLUMBIA, S.C., Feb. 2 ? David Mitchell, a disabled Persian Gulf war veteran from Boston, came here to volunteer for John Kerry's South Carolina primary campaign, as he had done in Iowa and New Hampshire. He is a registered independent who voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and had never been politically active.

Me thinks that the man talks out of both sides of his face.

[StriperSniper]

That was Greg Packer.

[txradioguy]

You're kidding right? YOu're telling me that as I sit here, a soldier in Baghdad Iraq that what President Bush is doing is worthless? That his efforts...MY efforts at making our country safer are all for nothing?

Be careful Action...the black helicopters are circling your hosue as we speak...make sure your tinfoil hat is in place.


Liberaltarian votes are wasted votes just as a vote was for Perot and vote for Nader will be.

People like you who help support the rats through non-action and stupid votes for people who don't have a snowballs chance of geting elected gave us Bill Clinton and threaten to give us John F'n Kerry or worse Hitlary herself.

[Texasforever]

Game. set, match. God speed.

[txradioguy]

"Compassionate Conservatism" is just a code phrase for "LIBERAL".


And Action-America is a code phrase for BLITHERING IDIOT!

Go back to the DUmmies website where you belong and stop trying to pull a fake "republican" act on us like the NY Times did with the quotes from alleged Republicans in their stories.

[Fledermaus]

YAWN!

Typical crap.

First, Bush's immigration ideas when it comes to our southern border IS NOT POLICY! It's a PROPOSAL. Learn to speak English before you engage your brain.

Second, point out anything in the Patriot Act as unconstitutional. You can't. It's that simple. Facts don't lie.

Third, what citizens are being denied their Constitutional rights? Name one besides Padilla! NAME ONE! I dare you. Oh, you can't. Padilla was declared an enemy combatant and will be getting a hearing in the Supreme Court...sounds like his rights are being protected to me when it comes to due process. I couldn't get the Supreme Court to hear my case if I was arrested for less given our laws.

Four, wouldn't beefing up our security forces to stop terrorism thus lead to more police and surveillance? Are you saying you want to deny the government the same resources they are given to fight organized crime and drug cartels in their fight against terrorism that has cells within our own country? Boy, that's short sighted and a jerk of the knee.

Five, any real conservative knows and understands that the deficit means nothing. It's meaningless when we are in such a change. And measuring it totally by the whole number is ludicrous if you don't take into account the percentage of GDP or the percentage of the federal budget.

As you grow older and make more income you move up from a Chevy to a Cadillac. Thus, your deficit of owing more on a car is a new record for you but ignores the fact you are capable of running a debt to obtain it.

So please, vote for someone that will never win and will never do anything and will never grow their voting base near as fast as would be required to make a real difference. But if you like slow progress, then by all means knock yourself out. At the rate it's going, the next Libertarian or Green or Conservative or any other third party will win the White House sometime in, say, 4052.

[piasa]

to a point so low that a family of four earning $40,000 per year only pays $45 in annual federal income tax

I think I'm going to cry- apparently I need a spouse and two kids really bad. Even with the tax cuts I'm being reamed.

"The combination of lies and boys coming home in body bags is just too awful," Mr. Flanagan said, drinking coffee and reading newspapers at the local mall. "I could vote for Kerry. I could vote for any Democrat unless he's a real dummy."

The lies are not coming from the President dear Mr. Flanagan. And it appears you are the dummy for falling for the lies of the leftists.
