Gap widening between Bush and conservatives

Reagan made a public statement supporting the Brady bill.

Reagan also suffers from Altzheimers.

Reagan's not President?

Comon man, let's retain the civil approach we've had with one another. Keep that tone nice, and I'll do the same

My tone is nice, just bringing up some facts. Sorry that you don't like facts but, IMO, just post inaccuracies willy nilly.

The opposite of love is hate.

Sir, it has been my experience that love and hate are related passions, and that the real opposite of love is indifference.

Yes, it is a game when your answer is "'Cause, I can." I was just hoping for a little more depth than that. If you are unwilling to provide that depth... then move on.

It's about the latest and best technology. Founders owned cannon and even battleships.

[carton253]

Now, I'm laughing. It's okay when Reagan does it. But not okay when Bush does it. Is there such a thing as a Reaganbot... cause I think you just joined up. LOL!

[cynicom]

Many seem to forget that this country is the offspring of a revolution. Without blood being shed by men that despised a tyrannical government, we would not be here having this debate. To denounce revolution by some is to deny our own birthright.

Bush is alienating his base. He either needs to wake up or he need to be replaced by a true conservative. I am tired of voting for the lessor of two evil. And if you say I am throwing my vote away, how can that be if I vote for what I truly believe

Blah, blah, blah, blah, same old, same old. Do you have to tell us a million times that you don't like Bush and hope to become the 568th vote in Texas for the CP cnadidate for President.

Do it, but lay off the drama queen antics, that you have been "betrayed" and such. Bush has done what he said would do in 2000.

Sorry you can't claim false advertising.

Okay, then I will take back my toothless inbred no-brain dumbass piece of s**t commie m***rf***r comment that I was going to post later.

Good thing you did, because then I would have been forced to open one big can of whoop ass on you! Wouldn't have been pretty... LOL!

[newgeezer]

Not all conservatives are fiscal conservatives.

Then, at best, they're only partially conservative.

[William McKinley]

Thanks for finding a quote that directly contradicts the assertion that the President is going to strenuously push for a much more restrictive AWB. I like it when people arguing with me take the time to prove the point I was making.

Now, I'm laughing. It's okay when Reagan does it. But not okay when Bush does it. Is there such a thing as a Reaganbot... cause I think you just joined up. LOL

I give Reagan a pass on the Brady support because of the ties of friendship. I still opposed the policy.

If Bushes Press Secretary and friend were killed by an AK-47, I'd also give Bush a pass on supporting the AW Ban. I'd still oppose that policy, too.

I think you are perceptive enough to understand this.

[biblewonk]

Or they are barely conservative.

[carton253]

An answer... a genuine answer... Praise the Lord!

And, (are you ready for this) it's an answer I can live with, support, and make sure stays the law of the land.

BTW, you aren't planning to overthrow the government in the near future, are you?

[Lazamataz]

Yes, it is a game when your answer is "'Cause, I can." I was just hoping for a little more depth than that. If you are unwilling to provide that depth... then move on.

I provided some depth, but it was lost because you were distracted by my insult.

[KEVLAR]

If anyone needs to lay off, its you.

[carton253]

And just what true conservative are you planning to replace him with in 2004?

[RiflemanSharpe]

Sorry you can't claim false advertising.


Maybe you are right but the base is restless. He need to move back to the right or he risks losing votes and being a one termer like his father.

[Lazamataz]

Now you are predicting the future.

Then you agree we were stupid to vote for him in the first place.
