Republicans Ready for a Fight It has no been almost one year since the Republican Party received a huge mandate in the 2004 elections. The results: NOTHING. Not entirely nothing as some issues have progressed, but in moral and social issues we have gotten nowhere. By now you are probably either asking your self why or answering that question in you head. For those of you that might be a little bit behind, or are just preoccupied, here is the answer: Republicans in Congress and the White House are playing political games. With the exception of nominating Judge Roberts, President Bush is not pushing the issues we want to fight for: social security, school vouchers, Medicare and Medicaid cuts, less business restriction and tax reform. And neither are the Republicans in Congress, they are carefully stepping through the mine field not wanting to start a war. Well it’s time for that to end. We have been sitting hear for almost a year waiting and waiting. Our guns poised to fire and ready to fire, but no command has come down. No leader has taken charge and President Bush seems to be overly busy with other work. The Republican Party has fight in it, it just needs to be put to use, someone needs to light the fuse, and we need to stop wasting the precious months and years. Let’s Roll.
I Like WIN! He is one of the few true Republicans left around here.
Why doesn't HE kick some conservative butt here? They NEED som motivation.
The art of the insult is not dead here on FR..
lame insults are allowed but will be graded.. D+..
Suck it up and get creative..
Wrong.. Ike(2), Nixon(2), Ronaldus Maximus(2).. and Count Von Bushula(2) and the Bushbats bleeding the treasury like democrat werewolves..
I see you brought your DU lingo and talking points with you.
The information provided by Rep is accurate.
It's possible that even you can acquire the proper intelligence and background if you are motivated enough
So true.. I voted for Dubya his Daddy, and even his brother multiple times.. I am quite dumb.. Learn me something new..
(shining my fingernails) I'm waiting..
His political capital went right down the drain right after he was relected and decided to call the minutemen vigilantes and pursue his guest invader plan.
He deserves what he has gotten and has no one to blame but himself.
He has consistently misplayed many hands since January. I'm glad he is botoming out now and not a year from now, or three years from now.
Carp away. And I will remain fed up!
Isn't saying "I'm fed up", carping?
I can't wait till all the Bushbots start attacking me while I was one of those who spent weeks of unpaid time volunteering for the GOP in 2000 and 2004.
I vote for the agenda, not the man. GWB is not God or my master, as it seems some consider him. I volunteered because I believed GWB was a conservative who believed in small gov't etc etc.
I remember having this sick feeling in my stomach right after he was re-elected and he was on his immigration amensty plan.
The problem as I see it is that GWB has helped usher in a new level of gov't spending unfathomable during the Clinton years which will only snowball if a RAT gets in there.
Possibly. But if one side is going to carp, why should they have a monopoly?
Yep ... its frustrating. I SOOOO believe in what they SAY they want to do and I am so STRONGLY against liberal ideas ... but the choice is going away for many of us. I just don't want to waste a vote ... maybe if the donations start to dry up they'll get the message and "grow a couple". I sure hope so.
2. Please detail the increased levels of spending in non-military areas (excluding the hurricane, which has not yet been determined).
3. Since I am a Bushbot, what are you? I am sure you think you are a "principled conservative", but for my part I think you are an anti-Bush person who climbs on the Bush-bashing bandwagon and imagines himself a martyr.
who's YOUR candidate for 2008? How conservative do you think he or she will be?
Knocking Bush right now doesn't help anyone, even you "principled conservatives." If you continue to work to erode the President's position, you will end up endangering the majority in the House and Senate, which if we lose will guarantee that not ANYTHING you want will come to pass. In addition, you just might get Hillary along with a democrat Congress. And if you think we would be able to repeat 1994 and take Congress back, you are exceedingly foolish.
We are in a political war. You have to choose a side and support it; you don't have the luxury of sitting on the sidelines and gripiing that things aren't perfect.
So, who is your preferred candidate for 2008. Speak right up and let us know who you think will do a better job.
Its completely a farse. They are spending us into socialism on the fast track. Its unbelievable how with a straight face some on this board still support this nonsense. If it were Kerry or Gore, they would be all against it, but because its Bush its ok. They are no different in mentality than those who supported Clinton regardless.
Dubya & the GOP are lucky in the respect that (astonishingly) the dems have been unable to capitalize on his underwhelming 2005 and translate that into electoral support in the dems.
If there is a silver lining, that's it. As much as Dubya has alienated a good portion of the electorate, the dems have been unable to win those folks over.
It's repairable. But he has to start acting like he wants to repair it.
This is not a Bush bashing post, but some 'tough love.' :-)
2. Please detail the increased levels of spending in non-military areas (excluding the hurricane, which has not yet been determined).
Does the word "Drug Bill" mean anything to you? Billions and billions and billions of waste fraud and abuse.
The Farm Bill? More pork, pigs, and hogs.
Aids funding to Africa? You explain that one to me?
I think GWB is a good person morally, individually, and etc ect. But one cannot say he has lived up to expectations on domestic issues this second term. If anything, it seems the barn door is open and anything goes so long as the GOP is for it.
The RATS are the best thing that ever happened tot he GOP. If they put up anyone even remotely normal against GWB in 2004 that person would have won.
Kerry & Gore were pathetic, but can you imagine a good old fashioned type guy with mainstream ideas actually in favor of things good for the average American? The GOP would get crushed. So long as the RATS put up cartoon charachtrers they will lose.
You first. Me, I'm sticking with the Commander in Chief. Ain't striking out on my own.
The GOP is very lucky these days.
Its unbelievable how brainwashed some Bushbots are. They will excuse anything so long as its their guy doing it.
If there comes a time when a RAT runs for office that wants to put forth conservative ideas, he's got my vote. The RINO who wants open borders and unctrolled spending can bite me since he is no different than the street thug looking for my wallet.
