Announcing Launch of ConservativesForBush.com
Conservatives for Bush ^ | 4/3/04 | My2Cents

Posted on 04/03/2004 1:27:08 PM PST by My2Cents

"More and more people understand that being a patriot is more than just putting your hand over your heart and saying the Pledge of Allegiance to a nation under God. They're saying -- more and more people understand that serving something greater than yourself in life is a part of being a complete American" -- President George W. Bush

We're announcing the re-launch of an updated ConservativesForBush.com, a website dedicated to highlighting the policies of President Bush, and conservative support for those policies.

The website is the product of a group of Freepers who have pooled their support for President Bush, and who reflect that support on a site which outlines key positions of the President. It is our intention that "ConservativesforBush" will provide resources, arguments, and talking points for all conservatives in defending the President in his race against John Kerry, and to move the nation forward through conservative values.

The site will be updated frequently. We're looking for input and suggestions from Freepers, both in terms of material and comments, to enhance the site. Feel free to email us at info@conservativesforbush.com .

My hope is to change the culture from one that has said, if it feels good, do it; if you've got a problem, blame somebody else -- to one in which every single American understands that he or she are responsible for the decisions that you make; you're responsible for loving your children with all your heart and all your soul; you're responsible for being involved with the quality of the education of your children; you're responsible for making sure the community in which you live is safe; you're responsible for loving your neighbor, just like you would like to be loved yourself.

Well don't believe everything you read and only a small portion of what you hear..... oh and never trust your lying eyes..... lol.

I think the play is on Kerry's statement about 'voting for the war before he voted against it'..... Thus they are going to vote for Kerry before voting for Bush....

being a patriot is more than just putting your hand over your heart and saying the Pledge of Allegiance to a nation under God.

May our future presidents have the religious convictions of George W. Bush and the manners of George Strait....God Speed.

Thanks!

This was a new experience for My2Cents and myself. Never had worked on a website before in my life, but we have learned a ton. Our host has terrific software -- the research is what took so long as you well know. When I hit publish last night, held my breath that it would work! You were our first visitor to the site so I knew it did work.

Thanks for all of your support -- you are terrific!

If you don't mind I am posting a comment of yours from the site:

the kind of leader who comes around maybe once in a generation if we're so graced.

I couldn't agree with you more. I have felt this way since the first time I saw then candidate Bush on the campaign trail in 2000, well before September 11.

Sometimes I think back to those hours of phone calls, asking people to vote for Bush. Sometimes I look back at the day I went to vote with a pride and conviction that no other vote had ever kindled in me. Sometimes I think back to that election night, gathered with friends, feeling my spirit break when they called Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida. Then, later that night after they reversed Florida for Bush, I watched in real time as the margin dwindled. And sometimes I look back at the Florida fiasco and think about standing in the cold with 10 or 15 others with our Bush signs as the recount battle went on.

Whatever we can do, we must do. Thank you for a great site.

Thank you for sharing your reminiscence of 2000. After election day (and night), a group of us were driven to pray for the nation, and the ultimate resolution of the recall in Florida. Upwards to 16 people met in our home for prayer for 33 straight evenings, until George W. Bush was proclaimed the winner. It would be incorrect to say that our prayers prevailed; we actually had the conviction that in meeting for 33 straight days to pray for the nation, God's will prevailed upon us.

I think that the most honest thing that the site could do would be to admit that President Bush hasn't always been the best friend to conservatives but that he is much better than any alternatives available at this point. We as a nation don't support the changes that are needed to get back on the right track. The president can do only so much to go against what the people support. As a result, President Bush has governed too far to the center to do the things that need to be done.

What conservatives need to do is to support the president in this election but also to support strong conservatives in races down the ballot. Where we still have primaries for other offices, we need to support real conservatives and not moderates or liberals. We then need to take the steps that are necessary to elect those conservatives.

The country is not likely to turn for the good in the next four years, but we can start taking the steps that will lead to that turn. We need to work for those changes at every opportunity. We should hold the president's feet to the fire as much as possible, but a Kerry administration will do more damage.

Ready for a Repeat
Bill
