HOW CONSERVATIVE IS PRESIDENT BUSH?

The Cato Institute ^ | August 3, 2002 | By Veronique de Rugy

Far from it, i'm an ultar conservative Californian and if you look at what Reagan did and not what he said he was no conservative.

Having had the duty of inbtroducing him as the featured speaker in front of over 2000 people at which speach he stated "my feet are planted in concrete and I will never allow witholding tax in the State of California" and in a matter of weeks it became law when he left the state for 2 days and had the Lt. Governer Mike Curb sign it into law.

As for Bush, whose family has been anti american since before the revolution, his "compasonate conservative" is nothing more than another way of saying socialism, tax those that work and coddle those that won't.

Yeah that Cato institute is a real powerhouse. Get real, the ones bitching and moaning have never supported a Republican president. They would then have to stop bitching and moaning. That is a genetic impossibility.

Not so hard to prove...

Fascinating that President Reagan, just 10 weeks after his inauguration, had a pleschette(sp) taken from within a hair of his heart after the SS spent some twenty minutes driving him around from the Washington Hilton to GWHospital.

Exactly what are you implying. I don't want to take your head off before I am sure.

Had the discussion been about actual voting and permission been requested to post actual voting records, and then granted, it might be a different story.

To me the only thing that matters is that he did not have permission to post her real (FULL) name and the location of her neighborhood, whatever the context of the discussion - but he chose to do it, knowing full well it was against policy here - and for good reason.

Why anyone would even try to defend such an egregious breach of privacy is beyond me. How would he like it if someone did that to him? How would his enablers like it if he did that to them? How do they know he won't one day? And that doesn't begin to address the issue of someone trying to dig up dirt on fellow FReepers with whom they disagree, for purposes of revenge.

Not cool. Not cool at all.

Er...I thought Jim was a Bushbot....I seem to remember an editorial on why he was proud to be a Bushbot.

Blowin' smoke as you run away, LOL! yep that's "Twodees".

I'm right here and will discuss whatever you like. When I've engaged you before, you're the one who ran away.

These aren't the only two conservative forums, why don't you try to fill up ALL the conservative forums with your whining about Free Republic?

I'm not whining about anything anywhere, boy. What I've said on LP about several conmtemptible people who post here I would gladly say to any of their faces and within arm's reach of them too. I don't whine about FR on another forum. If I did, you're free to shut me up anytime you can.

Better that than support big government regardless of what label (R or D) is attached to it.

[terilyn]

You remember correctly. It was right after that stupid 9th circuit decision about the Pledge.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Oh, and I'm just a person standing up for someone I believe is right here.

We should all be so brave. Good for you, terilyn.

You would wet yourself if you had to back those tough guy words up. LOL

Thanks for the article Jesse.

[Joe Hadenuf]

BTW, nobody reads Uncle Bill's stuff. Thought you'd like to know that.

I do. As I have no favorites here, and I don't hang around in the party cliques.....I generally read most of everthing and make up my own mind.....

"Had the discussion been about actual voting and permission been requested to post actual voting records, and then granted, it might be a different story."

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I was refering to the AM's interpretation of what happened and why more serious action wasn't taken. I think he/she saw just a brief part of the exchange, not what led up to it, etc.

That said, I whole-heartedly agree. I wouldn't want my personal info posted here and I sincerely doubt any of the defenders of this act would either.

[rightofrush]

Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner. Terry McAullife could have written this article. How dumb do they think we are?

Dumb enough to man Bush's plantation.

[mrsmith]

Ooohh, whining AND lying!

LOL! Oh how the liberals wish all the conservative internet forums had one like you.

[Texasforever]

Does it make you wonder why "Uncle Bill" comes in and has an almost fatal attack of written diarrhea and NEVER sticks around to clean up his mess?

[Twodees]

LISTEN UP ,SHOW.

Did you see an address? Are you going to go peep in her window? sheesh

[Mo1]

Howlin did indeed bait him into posting her info, then one of the clique snitched on him,

Huh???

I was there and that is not how I recall it ..

Yeah, (L) is an exception right?
