Sometime after mid-January ‘09, if the Fairness Doctrine is fully implemented and illegal immigrants are also allowed to vote in all future U.S. elections, then how is both the Republican Party and all of U.S. conservatism not completely destroyed forever and also not replaced by long-term socialism throughout the U.S.?
His stances on the Federal Marriage Amendment and abortion showed he could care less about some key issues that are important to evangelicals. That's what caused Dobson to go off and threaten to go third party.
Granted Dobson might have reserved his fire for the more social liberals in the crowd. But I'm not sure the result would have been any different. Fred at that point became a dissapointment, and Dobson simply reflected that fact.
Well, if the business cycle brings some temporary prosperity during Hillary’s term, she may get re-elected, too, in an election against “the next Reagan”. That shoots your theory.
Removing evangelicals could quite possibly increase the number of conservatives, the opposite is not true.
Oh, I’m right there with you Bear. RIGHT with you.
And you’re right.
The unfortunate thing is, we’ve got - what? Five guys left standing? NONE of them are Conservatives. But they all “look better” than Hillary (Even to some extent, Ron Paul - I can’t believe I actually said that about that Kook, but he IS more Conservative than Hillary and he’s NO Liberal, just a Libertarian).
Only reason Clinton succeeded was the Republican congress stopped the excess. No Democrat has succeeded economically in modern times, with the arguable exception of Kennedy, who cut taxes and Clinton with the Republican Congress. It’s like the old Soviet Union. Eventually their own system destroys itself.
“Actualy, Rush, like me is suggesting that the only thing that will bring Conservatives back together is for someone like Hillary to be in office for very long.”
There is no way that Rush or anyone else can predict what will happen in 4-8 years. As voters, our obligation is to vote for the best candidate out of the options available to us. Hindsight is always 20/20, but foresight is never nearly as clear.
LOL, who will replace them? Those tens of millions of libertarians out there just yearning to find a party home? LOL.
Huckabee is pro union, pro big govt. You heard that in the last debate when he said he’d rather have govt fund a big New Deal project instead of letting people spend their own money the way they want
Huckabee is a social conservative of the kind that will get women to vote in droves for Hillary. McCain/Huck vs the possibility of the first woman president spells total doom for the GOP and the pro-life cause.
They, and I mean the democrats in both parties, are chomping at the bit to do that. Them rich folk gotta pay dontcha know, who cares if they are the ones who employ everybody.
“people spending their own money the way they want”
For the sake of accuracy, that is hardly what the so-called “tax rebate” (which is what Huck was referring to) does. Rather, it redistributes wealth from the upper to the lower classes. If we are going to do that anyway, why not make people work for it?
if they win, we can’t give them any help like Contract with America or Alan Greenspan. Clinton took all the credit for the economy
let’s see how the democrats try to stick keynesians in the Fed and deal with social security now that baby boomers are about to retire
So along with rooting for a Hillary presidency (over McCain), you’d root for economic suffering as well, so that she wouldn’t get re-elected?
The momentum is dangerously low now. We have been burning fumes for some time, and none of the current crop inspire fiscal Conservatives save maybe Romney, and that is a stretch.
‘Sokay. Eliminate Mistake #17 (not convicting Bubba after he was impeached) — because it would have given us President Albert Arnold Gore — and you still have 43.
I’ll pull the lever when needed, but I am sorry to inform you, it don’t look too good for the home team.
Running around acting like the remaining “R” guys are going to do much good is slightly hilarious.
I would not have structured the tax rebate the way it is and certainly no rebate to people who don’t pay taxes. However, money spent in the free market is still better than money spent by government.
No one is roots for Hillary over McCain. We’re stating that NOT voting for a LIBERAL isn’t a vote for another liberal. Damn you folks are blind and can’t see either
I suggest looking into a foreign currency savings account if hillary wins
