78) Restored decency to the Presidency the very moment his foot hit the carpet in the Oval Office.

Got RID of that carpet......LOL.

Robinson's Maxim: If you vote for anyone other than a Republican you are supporting a Democrat.

Good luck.

Very dumb idea: "If the Libertarian candidates get enough votes in this fall's congressional elections, maybe that will get the attention of politicians who want to woo conservative votes." Libertarian? They reached their peak years ago.

Really very dumb idea:"Losing control of the House and having to suffer a term under Gephardt is just the lesson they need." This is the insane technique that got us Bill Clinton for 8 destructive years.

I got to about #20 before I realized that this list wasn't supposed to be positive.

[Howlin]

If you even consider voting for Nader, you're most likely NOT a conservative so it doesn't really matter, does it?

[MassExodus]

With all that STUNK about King Klintons reign,

SHOW ME ONE BILL THAT HE SIGNED INTO LAW

THAT WILL BE MORE DAMAGING TO OUR BILL OF RIGHTS THAN WHAT OUR "CONSERVATIVE" PRESIDENT IS ABOUT TO SIGN !

SHOW ME ONE !!!!

We got screwed ... "BIG TIME"

[Question_Assumptions]

And these are a problem because?

It is telling that they produce a one-sided laundry list of issues without explaining why the Bush administration did these things. Of course if your position can't stand up to scrutiny, about the only way to present it in a positive light is to suppress the other side.

I do really wish they'd get over Iran-Contra. Reagan and the "figures" involved were right and the Lefties were wrong. Again. So what else is new.

Losing control of the House and having to suffer a term under Gephardt is just the lesson they need.

Yeah right. The Democrats would give back the House if they got control again. You are dreaming.

[ridensm]

Hate to say I told you so, but ...

Sounds like typical republican to me. Do enough small stuff that is considered a bit conservative with one hand, to please most of the voters, while pushing us hard with the other hand in sync with the democrats right into a tyrannical, socialist state.

Alan Keyes looks better and better all the time. The only reason he couldn't win was because everyone was saying he couldn't win. It had little to do with reality. If all the real conservatives who supported Bush had worked to get Alan elected I daresay things would be a little different. Change isn't easy folks, we're going to have to work at it if we don't want the two wings of the same bird of prey beating us into submission, slowly on the one side and rapidly on the other.

[Howlin]

You're out of control. WE? Somehow I don't think so.

[Pistias]

Which in practice comes down to "damned if you do, damned if you don't." Wonderful...I understand Socrates' Apology more each day.

I wrote the author an email telling him that this would be a good Pro Dubya ad for 2004 elections.

I campaigned HARD for Dr. Keyes in New Hampshire, many a cold day holding one of his signs.

I'll tell you what was the most chilling on those days leading up to the Primary.

It was talking to the bow tie and oxford wearing Bush supporters who gaped at me in horror when I defended the need for a SECOND AMMENDMENT.

Think we're sorry this afternoon ?

Just wait until Dianne Feinstein submits a Bill to repeal the NEXT Ammendment.

I can hear Bush now, "Over My dead body will they infringe upon Your Right to own a gun!"

Sure ...

[LarryLied]

The only reason he (Keyes) couldn't win was because everyone was saying he couldn't win.

That lost him some votes of course but the real reason he didn't and doesn't get any traction is his personality. Many conservatives don't like or trust him.

[Howlin]

Alan Keyes looks better and better all the time.

As what?

The only reason he couldn't win was because everyone was saying he couldn't win.

It couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that he had NO experience, could it?

If all the real conservatives who supported Bush had worked to get Alan elected I daresay things would be a little different.

But they didn't, did they? Does that make them NOT real conservatives because they didn't vote for Keyes?

Keyes should be happy he has a show on TV -- for now.

[Satadru]

You forgot to put that he eats three times a day, and takes one good shit.

Gosh!

They'll be hell to pay if anyone finds out that I, too, am "unindicted."

Who do I see to get that fixed!
