well, they won’t with pepole doing what you suggest. we will have even MORE liberals in Congress.
For reference see 1992 and 1996.
As I think you can tell for yourself, from a sampling of the replies, the former president "belongs to the ages," and is no longer counted among Principled Conservatives, though he may certainly be more typical of Republicans.
If the president was as clueless as Charlie Gibson claims to be about the corrupt monster ACORN has always been, what of it?
“ACORN was funded by the BUSH ADMINISTRATION”
And that is one reason why our Tea Party protests and other grass roots protests are opposed to the big government, high tax, Nanny State politics of both parties.
Even when/if we are able to run many democrats out of office we cannot rely on the Republican party to be much better. The two parties fight among themselves for the right to pluck taxpayers clean.
If Republicans are returned to power they will not roll back the egregious political over-reaching democrats are forcing on us today. Over the past eight years they have shown they have no claim to being fiscal conservatives or advocates of a less intrusive, amaller government.
They speak in opposition to liberal, big government policies today but did little to change or eliminate these same policies when they had the power to do so.
Facts are facts so let the chips fall where they may. The whole bunch in D.C. needs to be cleaned out, on both sides of that so-called aisle. I’m sick of all of them.
Spoken like a sucker Obamabot, being manipulated by forces he does not understand to harm his country.
I don’t care if it was founded by Reagan, it has to go....criminal element!
I understand your point, but typically what the democrats will do is put funding for ACORN and other stuff into a bill that they know the president is going to sign - like funding for better body armor for soldiers, etc.
That’s what you get when you elect a “compassionate conservative” instead of a true patriot who wants to uphold the constitution. As if freedom, and the opportunity that comes with it, are not enough.
In many cases: Congress authorizes grants; the administration selects beneficiaries. These are among those cases.
I will NEVER vote for Bush again ...
Thanks
Having said that, unlike the current resident in the WH, I don't believe Bush was an active member of ACORN and they sure as hell did not "Get out the Vote" for Bush.
It is important to remember that there were TWO distinct GWBs, and I am just talking #43.
One was a social conservative, and the other was a fiscal liberal. Not only was he fiscally liberal, he was fiscally irresponsible. And now an illiterate electorate has handed an arsonist gasoline in which to put out the fire.
This is an important fact to use when discussing BDS with dems. You get them everytime.
Third parties bombed last year because we listened to the Demopublicans here a voted for a pro-bailout socialist to stop another pro-bailout socialist. Despite the fact the fact that Obama won a MAJORITY, the Demopublicans will never admit that they were wrong and keep promoting the same Demopublican socialists.
The information we have now and received during the last national election should be MORE THAN ENOUGH to freeze their racket. We do as much to the dealings of terrorists, why not the same and worse for home-grown criminals, thieves and liars? Do American Congressmen need the house to fall on them or are they themselves SO inured to corruption that the activities of ACORN do not appear the least bit irregular????
Except that the Republicans ran Congress in the years I wrote about.
Except that the Republicans ran Congress in the years I wrote about... and this was grant money where the HUD, DOJ and EPA selected recipients
