My fellow freepers: Only a Buchanan/Tancredo presidential ticket can save the conservative movement in 2008 (extreme sarcasm).
Say what you will about Buchanon and Tancredo. But Pat was right in '92 about illegal immigration, and Tancredo is right now. I don't say gimme a conservative or else. I will just say we EXPECT republicans to be conservative. It feels like betrayal when they are not.
1. Stop illegal immigration now.
2. Overturn Roe v Wade
3. Keep taxes low.
If you cannot sign on to those three things, what makes you consider yourself a conservative?
So what will you contribute to the debate but insults?
Another idiot from the very tiny and very bitter fringe of the Conservative movement writes a very long and a very meaningless article attacking the Republican party and President Bush.
----Right...does the writer think a Democratic President would have pushed for tax cuts, or an aggressive war on terror? Never!
Conservatism is not libertarianism..small government is not always wise or the best option..as long as individuals have power to pursue their dreams, government can help..that's the essence of Bush's governmental view.
At least she won't be taking part in any Republican activities. I wish all of the third party Bush haters would have the integrity to come out of the closet and leave us alone to do what we won our elections to do.
You said it. Like McCain - the only way they can get any attention is to bash Republicans. They're strictly cynical opportunists trying to advance their own personal agenda at the expense of the Republican Party - loyal only to themselves. I have no use for them.
A good self-description for you.
Nothing like a penetrating analysis of the issues, eh?
Keep it up. Halliburton needs propagandists. You can apply.
"The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"
Yeah, yeah, Chicken Little, now go take your nap.
You'll be smirking out of the other side of your face when that "very tiny" fringe takes a walk on you in '06 and '08.
And you may just soil your knickers when you see see the net your left with.
Crawl back under your rock. Its a great piece. It handles the issues well and head on. The problem you have with it is likely precisely that. I've been displaced from my prior good employment into the new and better version of America Bush is constructing for the Corporations and his financial buddies. That newer better concept is, in reality, working two jobs 80 hours a week to make less than half of what I used to and am so tired I don't have the energy to protest, much less the time. I'm not the only one by far. My home town is awash with similarly situated people. And the job scene isn't just bad monitarily. Benefits and basic gimme's are going out the window hand over fist. I have never worked a job where a break or a lunch was considered extra.
I'm now working three jobs where there is no such thing as
a lunch break per se. The concept of a break, in general, has become that you take it where you can find it and only to the extent that there isn't work to do. There is always work to do. So, you could go 12 hours without a break and because they aren't involved in "interstate commerce", there is no recourse. Breaks are something that I've had defined plainly at every job I've worked for 19 years. Now, they suddenly are disappearing. That's the law of supply and demand at work when you dump millions of illegals into a market to break the back of the average worker. Corporate America doesn't like supply and demand unless it's working solely in their favor. The glut of cheap workers is solving that problem for them. Once they helped create the glut of workers, your bargaining power and mine went out the window.
That leaves business in a position to tell you how it's gonna be. Period.
Full time positions don't exist now. Corporations don't have to bargain with employees now and have redifined the terms to mean "30" hours a week instead of 40. Benefits are so expensive that they provide access to them instead of providing them. And that access is so costly as to be worthless. Everyone who voted for Cafta violated their oath of office and probably what little they have that would pass as a conscience. The raw unfiltered truth is, both parties have betrayed the US outright. And it's time for both to go.. by whatever means necessary in a constitutional system.
