So are a lot of people. Bush could very well face some opposition in his own party due to this one issue in the primaries, or from a third party candidate next fall.
Illegal immigration is a serious issue, and it looks like little is being done about it.
The Constitution Party has only been around since 1999, that is why it is small (it came from the Taxpayers Party which was started in about 92). The Libertarians have ideas that are in the majority NOWHERE in the country. The Constitution Party has views that can win elections, maybe not in Massachusetts or Minnesota, but in a lot of Southern and Mid-Western states. Once that happens and the ideas work, doors open.
Those you, who whine and whinge and think that voting for the fringe is going to get you anything at all, are delusional and playing into the hands of those ( the Dems ! ) whom you claim to hate. And no, even a Hillary presidency is NOT going to cause this nation to have a civil war.
This part of your post is just mean-spirited tripe that ascribes to us traits and actions that are not factual. It needs no response, I highlight it just to show the people on this forum how ugly and hateful CP opponents are.
If the "Republican" President is going to spend money like it is going out of style, expand every governemnt department and create more, inflate the currency, and have US troops in every mudhole on Earth then I say let's get President Hillary.
At least the GOP Congress would fight her when she did the exact same things Bush is doing. Gridlock is good!
True. Anything can happen leading up to an election. It's kind of the equivalent of the worst team can beat the best team in one game, if everything falls that way.
That's why the enthusiasm for a Dean candidacy makes me nervous. It might increase the odds for a GWB win, but it wound be awful for the country to let Dean that close...it's just not worth the risk.
Lot of people are taking the CP with a grain of salt at the moment. Third parties get shrugged off for some reason, especially after the weird antics of Perot. But they may eventually become the place for conservatives if Republicans move too far to the left.
It may come to pass. If so, it will be lack of leadership from George W. Bush, while he waits for word from the lawyers ... Don't you love a farce; my fault I fear Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Why does he not care about the damage the recent court decisions have done to the Republic ?
He obviously does not think it his job to criticize a court that sodomized not only Texas but the rest of the country.
I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Well maybe next year
I worry about Bush. Going into the last election he was 7 percent favorite. After all the Democratic shenanigans nation wide, W lost the popular vote, and damn near the election. Buchanan seriously brought up all the crucial issues during the campaign, Bush and Gore babbled, while the Republican party when neocon
Based in W presidential campaigning performance, in what should have been a shoo in , I'm concerned that he won't pull it off again. He's seriously disturbing the base. Giving a half a loaf to the the Democrats and then a half a loaf to the Republicans. He only has four years to get things done, why sell out?
Rush is doing a great job and some credit him for W 's election. Next time may not be that easy.
Really? Why was the last election such a squeaker?

Bush is not totally in the 'game' where it counts, like upholding the Constitution . The unconstitutional Michigan affirmative action and the Texas sodomy decisions are happening on his watch, and he's wishy washy on it all. Doesn't seem to bother him, after all he set the example by signing onto the unconstitutional campaign finance reform law.
It only takes a few mistakes to the lose the game, and Bush is making more than need be. If he goes into Liberia and compromises Iraq with 'Old Europe', he's toast.
Because Gore was such a powerful and dynamic leader. *cough*
Great post!
Incumbancy and vote fraud. Wasn't that fairly obvious?
Do you know this to be a fact?
If that's a true statement, then there is no real purpose to a website like Free Republic other than to milk the base for data. If the politics here is "grass roots," then the "nowhere else to go" mindset would mean we are just cows grazing on that grass, not sowers or reapers.
I would hope that Bush would use some of his political capital to talk to Americans about what is right with this country. I've started a book about Ronald Reagan called "The Politics of Freedom," and up front it demonstrates from a content analysis of Reagan's speeches that liberty and the principles of our founding were woven into the fabric of just about everything Reagan said. Bush needs to do the same thing. When I saw a man-on-the-street segment on Fox on July 4th asking people who wrote the Declaration of Independence, and people came up with such answers as, "Some guys in white wigs," "Abraham Lincoln," "George Washington," "John Hancock" (close, but no cigar), and "Tom Something...," there is a serious need to be educating our ignorant countrymen about the greatness of America. Bush likes to say, "Leave no child behind" when it comes to education. How about "Leave no citizen behind" when it comes to learning to appreciate this nation.
