Rueters attempts to create a rift after a great first night at the RNC.
Bush is not exactly conservative either, other than being for tax cuts and fighting the WOT.
Virtually all of his other domestic programs are what I should call moderately progressive.
More like the RINOs created the rift and made it look like the conservatives' fault.
Colmes was hammering away at that theme with each guest last evening.
By the way, does anyone know what is wrong with Alan Colmes? He appears to be very ill, or at least many pounds thinner.
Have conservatives become the 'Rodney Dangerfields' of politics..?
We might find the MSM portrayal of conservatism as much responsible for that as anyone.
I agree. We are and can put aside all the intra-party fighting for 63 days.
LOL! The MSM is upset that the Republicans look good, and are now accusing them of the same stunt Kerry and Co. tried to pull off in Boston. However, the howls of misleading the public were silent.
Those are two of the four primary issues on the conservative agenda. Support for a strong defense, limited govt, tax reform and advancing pro-life concerns. Bush may not be a conservative ideologue, but he is politically conservative. An instinctive conservative.
"what is wrong with Alan Colmes? He appears to be very ill, or at least many pounds thinner"
I noticed ,too. Is he sick?
Funny how hard the liberal media tries to stir the pot. I have yet to see one christian right conservative complain about this.
No there real strategy is America dont fall for this dirty Republican trick of having moderates, liberals and democrats speak at there convention they arent the REAL republicans the REAL republicans are neo-fascist racists who sit around everyday thinking of how they can steal from the poor and give to the rich.
Did Reuters write an accompanying article about how the democrats were hiding their radical hate-America leftists in Boston?
You havent? The hard christian right was balling about the speaker line up.
It's a monster of a system that has become our modern day government. So many dollars, so many bureaucrats, so many lobbyists, ... and no end in sight.
I feel for the President and his administration, they are in a tough spot. They are trying to move thru legislation sorely needed (energy bill comes to mind, for one) but obstructionist forces stand in their way in every area proposed for reform or elimination.
The task is enormous,, but to fail to even try and propose and enact reforms in "entitlement" programs and allow for some control over monies withheld for future purposes, puts us only a couple a years away from a 10 Trillion dollar national debt.
Remember the year they had Pat Buchanan speak in prime time and he had everyone angry? Which convention was that?
Who do you consider the hard christian right?
Pat Robertson is one.
In 1992 Pat gave the Culture War speech and it was pretty darn good, then the media spun it.....and well you know the rest of the story.
