All current political roads lead to the 2006 elections, which lessens the validity of anti-Bush rhetoric from vested interests such as the media and candidates from any political party. The big worry for Republicans this cycle is quality of candidates. Give the voters a solid candidate for any particular office and Republicans will likely win. The candidate who relies on a constant bashing of the best leader they have had since Ronald Reagan will be defeated.

Just one more article written by a liberal to try to influence the 2006 elections.

You know, we really are speaking the same language. I want more Conservatism, and I know it wins elections. I also know incremental-ism is the way to achieve a truly Conservative government. We need to use the methods the dims successfully used to attain abortion rights, welfare, high taxes, affirmative action etc etc etc, against them (and roll back THEIR gains). A frog will sit in a pot without escaping if you raise the temperature of the water slowly, until it reaches the boiling point.
We need to shape our message. We need to continually strive for real Social Security Reform, Lower Taxes, abolishing the Death Tax, cut spending on entitlements, and more.
Supporting Bush over those that would strip hard earned gains from us by using the dissent within our Party, is our only path to victory. Far too many here on FR think that talk of unity to win, and to continue to shape society in a positive manner, is "selling out". I see it as a strategic defense.
Have a good day friend, and thank you for a vibrant chat. I hope that you see we are not on opposite ends in this fight.
I'm going for a walk in the woods, and plink a bit with my Ruger .22. I have a new "dean" poster to play with!

You mean themselves? Are you that naive? Funny about the naivete thing, those most susceptible are those who believe it is exhibited only by others.

"If I had a choice and Bush were running today against (Democratic President) Bill Clinton, I'd vote for Bill Clinton," said Bruce BartlettSurprise, surprise! The first person quoted in this piece (out of a San Fransicko newspaper, btw) is the latest media darling, a scumbag named Bruce Bartlett, who has been all over the TV lately as the leatest version of David Brock, John Dean, et al - - you know, "conservatives" who have "seen the light".... The liberals glom onto these former "Republicans" like flies to dog crap.
The liberal scumbags of the dying, dinosaur "mainstream" socialist newsrooms are in full Democrat campaign mode.
Expect a whole lot more of this.

So much for Truth.
GOP in a funk over BUSH's spending? I may be wrong....I'm not...but Congress writes the damn budget.
yeah, he could VETO it and he's proposed some big ticket items, but Congress is the one that came up with that beautiful pork baby known as the Highway Bill.

To: Lancey Howard
You are dead-on right! I am surprised we have not heard that statement here on FR yet. It is still early on Sunday, however!

Not particularly fond of the Clintoon; but, perhaps this guy thinks that if the presidential puppet is busy chasing shirts and fabricating lies to offer Congress that there would be less time to champion the expansion of government and monumental socialist programs. Just a thought.

The Congress has no business criticizing anyone over "spending." They control the purse strings.

This Bartlett guy is a loon and a traitor. The fights and punching matches we have here on FR are like family fights. I criticize Bush and bushbotism like crazy, but that is a truly foolish statement. Does this man Bartlett actually prefer Breyer and Ginzburg to Alito and Roberts? Bartlett is worse than a Rino.

This Bartlett guy is a loon and a traitor. Or, he is a true patriot depending on his intent.

You are onto it. We are facing a full court press to keep our voters from showing up. The Dems aren't going to run on an impeach Bush ticket, but that's their desire. That's what they did to Reagan after re-taking the senate in 1986. They shot down Bork and stopped the country for daily Iran-Contra hearings they hoped would lead to impeachment.
Both sides of this port deal need to stop it and drop it. We won, okay...Great. Good. Wonderful. But this president is certainly worth defending and fighting for despite his mistakes. The list you provided is the tip of the iceberg if the Dems get back in power with their mitts on our money.
Which way is it, conservatives?
