His record of Growing Government in texas.

---

Can you list a governor or President that not had government grow under their leadership? How about a Mayor, County Judge?

Short list I'd expect...... tick tock

[My2Cents]

Well-said. And, as I said earlier, while Bush is a centrist, the center has shifted significantly more to the right than it was 40 years ago. We're making progress.

[deport]

like TLB, will vote for Bush because they have somehow convinced themselves that "a vote for Bush is a vote for socialism."

---

Yep even a liar's vote helps.....

He's already said he's on board to support the President for Reelection come May 2004.... So his values aren't that deep if he has any at all.... imo.

[justshe]

Yeah i read it, but the tone of it was too much sarcasm. I think to be fair it should have been a pros and cons list."

---

Believe it or not.....I took those 'cons' from DIRECT quotes by posters on Free Republic. I may have amalgamated some, like the "Don't meet with Grover Norquist--or Muslims--or Homosexuals".......but they were EXACT statements.

No sarcasm at all. Just READS that way.

"Oh yes, I'll always pick the lesser to two evils......Sheesh.....
Or we could all vote for the candidate that YOU like, and absolutely NOTHING would be done, no good accomplished whatsoever.........SHEESH!!!!

Fabulous list, justshe!! FABULOUS!! Shows how off base the bashers really are!"

Unless we let our Republican elected representatives know that they cannot take conservative votes for granted, they will continue to move to the left. A couple of defeats like Bush41 was subjected to and they will learn. We will give up some in the short run to gain more in the long run.

I don't know whether Abbas has clean hands, but I pray he keeps them clean. If there's a sincere desire in Abbas to end the madness, he deserves support, and anything Bush can do to further isolate Arafat will help.

[Scenic Sounds]

So, as I understand it, these are the facts:

1) TLB will be voting for Bush; and

2) TLB believes that his vote for Bush will be a "vote for socialism."

What inference can I fairly draw from those two facts? ;-)

Viva La Liberal Socialism!!!

Push Frist out.....bring back Trent Lott

What, Frist not a big enough p**sy?

I just looked on the EPA web site. Here's the official explanation on why the standard was reviewed: Following the January 22, 2001 Federal Register promulgation of the arsenic rule, a number of concerns were raised to EPA by States, public water systems, and other stakeholders regarding the adequacy of science and the basis for national cost estimates underlying the rule. Because of the importance of the arsenic rule and the national debate surrounding it related to science and costs, EPA's Administrator publicly announced on March 20, 2001, that the Agency would take additional steps to reassess the scientific and cost issues associated with this rule and seek further public input on each of these important issues.

The 10ppb rule still goes into effect on its orginal schedule. Everyone has to be fully compliant by January, 2006. Even though there was plenty of time to conduct the review without jeopardizing implementation, we were treated to hysteria by the media and the Democrat commercials (I'm not sure those are actualy two different things.) There had been an exception on the books for Idaho since 1997. Then there was this pile of confusion:

On March 26, 2001, EPA proposed to withdraw Vermont, the District of Columbia, Kansas and New Jersey from the National Toxics Rule (NTR) for certain human health and aquatic life criteria where the State adopted criteria that fully meet the requirements of the CWA. The proposed rule provided for a 60-day public comment period.

In the rest of the text it looks like they comply at a state level so they're exempt from the national one(?) Confusing.

"What, Frist not a big enough p**sy?"

No. Not a big enough Dixiecrat.

[justshe]

Ahem....no comment.

I simply compiled the lists. :-)

[deport]

Well we'll have to let the 'showboy' speak for himself as to what the facts are. However he's posted on the forum that come MAY 2004 he'll be supporting President Bush for reelection. I guess he'll still do it even though his contention is that President Bush is many things other than a right wing conservative.... such as the following:

Bush is a liberal wolf in sheep's clothing and for the bulk of Americans, the disguise is working perfectly.

Bush is a fake president and like Clinton:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/824910/posts?page=15#15

Bush is liberal Republican advancing a commie rat agenda:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/810176/posts?page=162#162

Bush is an anti-Constitution; anti-family, gun grabber:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/899493/posts?page=48#48

Now I will never be a blinded follower of Bush or the republican party EVER.........any party that brings in the patriot Act and bans guns and thinks a socialist CLINTON LOVER(BLAIR) and a commie (PUTIN) is good is never to be trusted in my book.

LOL

[NittanyLion]

Good list. However, you may want to add some "cons" for balance. Farm Bill, Patriot Act, Education Bill, CFR and pending prescription drug plan are the most obvious ones, to my mind.

On the whole, it's been far more good than bad. Foreign policy has been Bush's strong suit. Still some room for improvement as far as domestic spending goes...

[Cyber Liberty]

Well, OK. I can see that. But who in the heck wanted Neville Lott back in? He was the worst Maj/Min leader we've had in decades.

The only reason I ever saw enunciated to keep Lott was to not allow 'Rats to intimidate our people out of power. A blind-loyalty thing. Never mattered to that crowd that Neville Lott did more to destroy our accomplishments than did Clinton.

[Cyber Liberty]

I'd say your list is too short. You must have limited your search to the past 24 hours or something....

[Neets]

But who in the heck wanted Neville Lott back in?

Who indeed toots???? (*snicker)

[newgeezer]

There will even be a confused few who, like TLB, will vote for Bush because they have somehow convinced themselves that "a vote for Bush is a vote for socialism."

"Confused"? No rational being can deny that a vote for Bush in 2000 was a vote for socialism. He did not run on a platform of shrinking government programs. He didn't even run on the status quo. He came out on favor of expanding Medicare.

We are mired in socialism, and getting deeper with each passing administration. Neither of the two parties is going to nominate anyone who'll dare change that direction. The reality is, a vote for anyone other than Bush was at least in effect a vote for even more socialism under President Gore.

If anyone's "confused," it's those who have somehow convinced themselves that Bush or any major party candidate has the intestinal fortitude to reverse our socialist course.
