1. Unbelievable
They're like a squirming, greased earthworm, these people. There is no way to nail them down to the truth. They slime out from under it every time.

11. Democrats always stood by Bill Clinton and the party he represents.
We disagreed with Bill, we all suffered the ridicule when the Blue Dress Debacle was the one and only show on the media, but we never distanced ourselves from him. Well, Joe Lieberman being the exception.

Just goes to show, Repubs are fair weather friends.

Hey, george, sorry about your buddies deserting you. :nopity:

12. Ideology Has Consequences
Edited on Sun Nov-19-06 11:36 PM by peanutbrittle
I was like 'John in the forest' telling them that their party had been hijacked.....but none listened

Straussian, Christian Fundamentalism and Texas Gunslinging Republican ideologies are a dangerous, dangerous mix

back in 2001-2004

They thought I was some kind of nut




American Conservative Magazine

Ideology Has Consequences



Bush rejects the politics of prudence.

by Jeffrey Hart

Many Republicans must feel like that legendary man at the bar on the Titanic. Watching the iceberg slide by outside a porthole, he remarked, “I asked for ice. But this is too much.” Republicans voted for a Republican and got George W. Bush, but his Republican Party is unrecognizable as the party we have known.

snip

The post-2000 conservative movement has abandoned all that to back Bush and has followed him over the cliff into our calamity in Iraq. On top of all that, the Bush presidency has been fueled by the moral authoritarianism of the current third evangelical awakening.

snip

Before long, students may be allowed to take entire history courses in the expanding library of books analyzing Bush’s Iraq calamity and other failures of his administration, which also derive from his tendency to privilege ideology over realism. Supply-side ideology led to large tax cuts and mountainous deficits. Privatization ideology led to an incomprehensible and unnecessarily expensive prescription-drug plan. No previous administration has produced such an outpouring.

26. and the GOP in Congress granted his every whim. So are they, too,
not representative of the Republican party? Than just who does represent the republican party, and why weren't they elected to office? So what party is it that now has the minority in congress?

15. Who the hell voted for him, then?
If he doesn't represent the Republican Party, who do these fools say they voted for? Who do they think voted for Chimp? Sheesh, these people are pathetic.

That means that Bush is the personification of the Republican Party. :rofl:

19. Just how many GOP-ers voted for Kerry?
Maybe 5%? Like the Chimp says, if you're not with us (me), you're against us (me). So anyone who voted for him, is with him!

22. These are said by neo-cons. They think * is too liberal. LOL!
The freepers have said this a long time. Nothing new. They call themselves "real conservatives," they are really neo-cons. This is the big excuse they have been using for the Republican Party losing. Why don't they start their own party, if they think most Americans think their way...they are clueless.

24. But he represents America and that is why the world hates America now.
Most people don't really hate America, they hate the current government in America of which Bush* is the head..He is the focal point of their hatred. Republicans put him there so must accept the blame. Of course they will not accept responsibility. They never do...

25. I think they are just full of shit. GOP + BUSH = X-eme CONSERVATIVES

There is no question that Bush is a prime example of the GOP conservative agenda, tax cuts, debt, increase military spending, and start a war.

Those are the very foundations of conservatives.

case closed.

Party...as it is known today.
