Well it's Sunday so let's remind you again of the list you call so "limited" that you can't remember it.
1. Tax Cuts (never would've happened under Gore)
2. Rejected KYOTO Treaty (never would've happened under Gore)
3. Refused to sign on to U.N. Crimes Court (Gore would've signed it)
4. Stopped federal funding of abortions (Gore would've tripled it)
5. Continued support for faith based initiatives
6. The war on TERROR - Taking it to the enemy (Gore would've done a "Clinton" and maybe sent a few missles)
7. Total ban on human cloning (Gore would've asked to be cloned)
8. GWB killed the Left-Wing ABA's role in vetting federal judges for Congress.
9.GWB repealed OSHA's new ergonomic regulations that were about to put every home-based business in America out of commission.
10. GWB killed federal funding of foreign "family planning" activities.
There's more.....
I do not think this record will spur mostly apolitical conservatives to come to the polls in November.
This is about as comprehensive as your memory of Bush's conservative accomplishments.
Contrary to your claims, Bush polls higher among conservatives than any other group.
Yes, we do. But we're not going to get it by sniping at the President. If we want a conservative agenda put into place, there have to be conservative folks in Congress to shepherd the ideas and vote for the funding for them. In order to get that Congress, we're going to have to put aside the divisions and elect Repubs. Not all will be conservative Repubs., but having a Repub. majority in both houses will increase GREATLY the possibility of the Pres. getting the conservative parts of his agenda passed.
If these apolitical conservatives pout, stay home and don't vote, then they shouldn't complain afterwards if the Dems win and things REALLY go badly for this country because they will have no one but THEMSELVES to blame!
Being on FR for the past year and a half has opened my eyes to how self-absorbed some so-called 'real' conservatives are. If people don't see things their way to the letter on their pet issue, they are castigated and called names.
You can't stick together and get something accomplished if you are stuck on your own narrow ideology. It's self-defeating, and it's disgusting.
If there is any good thing to say about RATS, it is the fact that they are loyal to each other.
Since becoming a Pubbie, I have been dismayed at how we eat our own. Perhaps some have forgotten what this nation was like during the last administration. If they would just think about that, they might not cling to their one issue politics as much and realize that life with a Gore or Hillary administration would be the end of this nation as we know it.
There is absolutely nothing morally wrong with using adult stem cells. We can obtain adult stem cells from our own blood and fat.
President Bush compromised when he allowed scientists to use federal funds on embryo stem cell lines already in existence.
Embryonic stem cell research kills the embryo in the process and therefore is morally wrong and not theraputic as some would claim either.
Don't forget to tell us where the Kool-Aid is.
Hey man, if you can't accept the train wreck that is coming that isn't my problem.
The facts is that Bush was elected in 2000 and had both the House and Senate in Republican hands. Unfortunately, on the first Wed. of November of 2002 were going to see the Dem's totally in control of both houses of Congress. It will be Senor Bush's fault since he failed to mobilize his base. The Dem's base will be out voting strongly for the Dems and the Rep's base will stay home. Why? Because Bush governed as a LIBERAL. It was Bush who served up the Kool-aid my friend. Deal with it.
He is the leader of the gop and for the most part, the party follows his lead.
I cannot support the direction the gop has chosen to go.
Since we're "at war", you feel that it is ok for the gop lead congress to pass spending bills that waste more of our money than at any other time in history?
The education bill and farm bill alone are reason enough to say "No More!".
Both were gleefully signed by gwb who claimed to be conservative.
I really don't believe that you do, I think you're just a good American sticking up for your guy. Thats a good thing.
I can't sccept it any longer.
What President ever satisfied you on abortion?
What President ever satisfied you as a compassionate person?
You may call what President Bush has done 'paltry crumbs,' but your head must be in the sand if you don't recognize the monumental shift that he has begun making in the morality and sense of responsibility needed in this country to bring it back to righteousness.
I don't call revitalizing the military and renewing a love of country and service to country 'paltry.'
I don't call stopping the murder of abortion 'accidents' who survive, and giving an unborn baby full rights as a human being 'paltry.'
You're are doomed to be miserable for the rest of your life, because no progress toward what is right and good will ever be anything to you but 'paltry crumbs.'
Yes, and it was a 'compromise' that ended the murder of millions of unborn babies. I call that victory.
