So far our president has:

Refused to secure our borders or address immigration issues.

Supported the continuation of racism in the form of affirmative action. The supreme court today upheld affirmative action, presidential support likely factored in the 4-5 vote.

Allowed the Iraqi military to be reformed and PAID due to protest by former Iraqi soldiers who fought the US.

Continues to be as anti gun as he ever was. Will likely vote for the AW Ban if it ever reaches his desk.

I'm seeing one concession after another to the liberal (especially as it concerns minorities) agenda.

I don't like this seemingly "new direction" of the Republican Party.

Combined with issues like the Patriot Act and their entrenchment with the Religious Right (I don't mind religion, just not as government or a basis for law and policy as it concerns ME) the GOP is probably as much a threat to freedom as pre Clinton Democrats.

I always knew the Republicans were the lesser of 2 evils. But they used to be lesser to a far greater degree. And they usually were fiscally conservative as much as they were socially conservative and that was almost a fair trade.

I'm not sure how I'm gonna vote now in 2004.

With the Republicans moving firmly into areas such as restriction of freedom, socialized government and special rights for some I don't see them being as much "lesser" as they are just "evil."

I think we finally have equality in government however. They are both equally bad.

I honestly never thought this could happen.

TRUST ME! That was a good thing! I used to be an airport screener when I finished HS.

Some of the people the private sector was hiring probably couldn't get a job at a carwash, and you want them to secure your plane that you will be flying on?

At least with the Federal screeners the government will have more rigid testing and accountability.

Now if you don't mind me tooting my own horn:

I still hold the title at BWI airport for the most illegal currency searches and seizers in a year to date! That was 5 years ago too!

There isn't a black-white "anti-gun/pro-gun" dichotomy.  Some politicians are very anti-gun, some only slightly, some slightly pro gun some very.  Bush is slightly pro-gun.  He won't stick his neck out for the RKBA but neither will he push anti-gun legislation. And he would likely sign a bill to prevent lawsuits against gunmakers.

Gone are the days when "Conservative Republican" meant:

  a. Cutting spending
  b. Cutting taxes

2. Social Conservatism
  a. Tough stances on "law and order." (see immigration)
  b. Pro-life
  c. Limited welfare, fewer handouts

3. Pro-Second Amendment across the board

4. America First
  a. Reduce/eliminate trade treaties that hurt US job market
  b. Limited role of US Military worldwide, based on imminent threats

I believe the big debate was on who they would work for, whether they would be contracted but still controlled by the feds or if they would actually be federal workers controlled by the feds.  The sticking point was a federal worker is much harder to fire than a contractor, meaning the bad apples would get reassigned and not fired, plus federal workers typically lean towards the Democrats when vote.  This is why I brought it up, because Bush just caved right into the Democrats demands.

Well, cousin Riky, I can't seem to get the "quote" function to function, so, let me clarify my post. It seems I made a broad generalization, then narrowed the focus at the end of said post.

Let's lean more towards the former. As the years go by, I have seen a consistent watering-down of traditional conservative values amongst people who call themselves Republicans. This is also true for many elected types as well.

Whereas very, very few Republicans in the not-so-recent past were NOT:

1. Fiscally Conservative
2. Morally Conservative
3. Intensely Pro-2nd Amendment
4. Intensely "America First"

Now, it seems, many of today's Republicans feel it is their duty to warm up to the liberal agenda by disavowing the party's previous political territory.

The way I see it, a "moderate Republican" is just another liberal, and there are alot of them around these days, rather than a few.

We didn't vote for Gore because he was a part of the Clinton team, which means he was and is, a sneaky, lying, unethical piece of shit who thinks he and his followers can make better decisions about your life than you can.  Additionally, he looks like he is badly constipated and could explode in a cloud of crap at any moment.

Ok so Bush has done some stuff that many of us don't agree with at all.  But damn, the very thought of Gore being in charge at the moment the US is attacked leaves me cold and afraid.  Who knows what kind of cluster fuck Gore and his minions would have put together, but I'd bet that it would make any violation of our rights by Bush and Co pale in comparison.

Until there is a viable third party option we sadly have only these two options to work with and right now most of the Democratic Party isn't an option if you value the 2nd Amendment at all.

Steyr- first off, no one is going to convince me that you will leave one cent of Bush's tax savings on the table.  You are as likely to buy us all a Barrett at cost.

Second-Voting for Gore is not, and never will be an option.

Third- I share your frustration with a lot of your points, but you can't expect GWB to change everything overnight.  Affirmative action is instituted racism, it is deeply imbedded in our culture. Did the Administration argue for it?  What is your source?
The Federalization of the airport screeners was a stupid thing that forced me to change careers-but the public the media, and the government was clamoring for it. Not just GWB.

He can't be all things to all people, but you gotta keep the faith until we can get a real conservative in office.  Otherwise you just sound like one of the-

"elect Gore, so we can get the revolution started" crowd

You're the one trying to wiggle.  You're moving the bar from the original points to try to make it look like I was mistaken, but you're merely dissembling.
I didn't say Bush wasn't deficit spending.  I said that he has cut taxes and that NO Republican president in recent memory has reduced spending.
The whole argument was that Bush was changing the policy of the Republicans. I was pointing out how that was mistaken.
And you, as usual, are trying to shore up your hopeless arguments by taking things out of their context.

Except of course that your original premise is wrong, which negates your conclusions.
Your incorrect initial premises are:
1)that Bush is not morally conservative--actually, that charge is so ludicrous I am surprised you can type it with a straight face.
2)that Bush is not America first.  Again, an absurd charge that flies in the face of the facts.
3)that most Republicans have been fiscal conservatives anytime since the 60s.  Simply not true.  The difference between the Democrats and the Republicans isn't HOW MUCH they spend but WHERE they spend it.  

Your whole argument collapses because you build it on inaccuracies.

Funny you should mention that. Didja ever think he can't get elected 'cause he can't get YOUR vote?? [rolleyes]

If he did, he would be making the same absurd error that you are.  You ignore the facts, Duncan.  The fact is, even if EVERYONE who was as strongly pro-RKBA as the people here banded together with everyone else who would vote for Pat Buchanan, Buchanan would still lose badly.
There simply aren't enough one-issue voters to sway a national election.

Hannah, that childish, juvenile drivel does nothing to make any argument you might have and just serves to make you look bad.
