Yeppers, that's me!
Too bad they can't vote.
Reason(s):
Collins,
Snowe,
Hastings,
And a handful more.
I told him that we would be giving directly to the candidates we support from here on out, not to the party.

That's odd, especially right after a successful election season.

I'm worried about the deficit, but I'm not having second thoughts about voting for Bush. The deficit existed before he was re-elected and the alternative was much worse.

I voted for bush mainly because I could not stomach the liberalism of either kerry or gore.
That being said Bush neds to secure the borders, stop his out of control spending and get both deficits in control.
He better stop making the WOT his prime area and focus on jobs, healthcare etc.
Many Reagan democrats are going to leave the ship if he does not.
I make two political contributions each year. Ron Paul and the NRA.
Definition of Lame Duck:
person holding office after his or her replacement has been elected to the office, but before the current term has ended. In the American presidency, the period after election day in November and the swearing-in of the new President in January is known as the lame duck period
Since this seems to be a common definition of 'lame duck president', I do not understand why the press keeps referring to Bush as a 'lame duck'.
Yeah, let's let the Democrats run things. They always do a superb job.
-end sarcasm-
Canada needs to get its own house in order.Maybe then I will listen to their opinion of Republicans.
Bush becomes a lame duck on November 4, 2008.
Quote: The deficit existed before he was re-elected and the alternative was much worse.
Yes both deficits were there when he started but if you look at he charts they have both skyrocketed under his pesidency.
With all due respect, Mr. Mehlman I feel I must be candid with you as a loyal Republican. At least the Democrats are showing some spine and doing what they do best. It is the Republicans that anger me and I am not alone. What exactly is Senator Frist waiting for? What did "we" win when we reached 55 Republican Senators? When are we going to start acting like we have a sizeable lead and force our mandate down their throats. Let them scream and complain-it's what they do.
I understand I am not a sizeable donor and am just a voice in the wilderness, but if you listen very carefully you will hear that I am not alone. Yes, I will still vote Republican straight down the line in every election. Yes, I will continue to donate a couple of hundred bucks. Yes, I will drive my Cuban in-laws to the voter booth so they can thumb there nose at Castro and vote Republican. But I do it with less enthusiasm. I can be taken for granted. I am not so sure that other voters can. Why would they come out in droves like they did in '04? when they were defending Dubya. They will not be as energized in '06. The libs will be. I know-I work in an office full of them.
Exactly. Which means he ain't a lame duck president now. But I continue to hear the press and the dems call Bush a lame duck president. The article for this thread is an example.
My monetary support has ended for the Republican Party until they demonstrate the desire and backbone to address fiscal irresponsibility - much of which is their own - and illegal immigration.
President Bush has been a powerful Commander-in-Chief and outstanding on foreign policy issues. He has, however, sold us out on fiscal and immigration issues. The cost of Medicare is now exponentially larger due to the prescription drug fiasco-in-the-making and the few people willing to do something about unchecked illegal immigration, he calls vigilantes.
Someday we will finally figure out that on "non-morality" domestic issues, the Dems and GOP are identical. If they agree on just a few more issues, we may have to change the GOP platform quite a bit to reflect reality.
Bush does what Congress does. If Congress passes it, he signs it. All we've got to do is make a more conservative Congress and we'll get our results.
