“I want the gov’t to take care me and my family ONLY in terms of national security i.e. fighting terrorism.”

Bush isn’t doing that. At most, he’s fighting one front of the war while leaving our own homeland wide open. He even encourages Muslim immigration.

“I think you need to reserve your negatives for the real enemies: Obama, Dean, Pelosi/Reid, academia, the media, Islamo-fascists.”

Bush and much of the party leadership are in agreement with most of the above list. I think you need to think more carefully on who you praise and why you praise them. Bush holds hands and kisses “Islamo-fascists”. He gives money to “Islamo-fascists”. The term’s redundant anyway. He has expanded the welfare state tremendously. He has worked to bring in 100 million new Democrat voters.

“Bush has his hands tied. He does what he can.”

Oh, please. His intentions have been clear since 2004. He’s a liberal just like his father. He doesn’t need my vote anymore, so doesn’t have to pander to the party platform anymore.

“But Bush may not have gained congressional approval for that many troops.”

I’ve read the authorization. He had it.

I too preferred Hunter.

I think you need to reserve your negatives for the real enemies: Obama, Dean, Pelosi/Reid, academia, the media, Islamo-fascists.

Bush has his hands tied. He does what he can.

And yes, Powell did say that, and perhaps he should have been heeded. But Bush may not have gained congressional approval for that many troops.

Powell is a two-faced media whore anyway. He, of course, supports Obama.

Correction:

“I was a Hunter supporter.”

“Did you read the article? Folks like Kagan, Bush, Graham and Cheney decided upon the Surge moreso than did the military actually, sir. They get credit.”

Do they now. I seem to recall Powell and Shinseki stating that they would need a more troops before the war even started.

“This is why, though I am appalled that we support the Animals in Palestine and spend too much, I also do not believe the anti-Israel Ron Paul Isolationist policies are the cure. A balance, perhaps.”

Paul is not an isolationist. You confused anti-interventionism with isolationism.

“Are you a Ron Paul person? I sure hope not. Talk about someone who had hoodwinked America via calling himself a “libertarian.””

I’m a Conservative. I detest liberals like Bush just as much as i do liberals like Obama. If I was a Hunter supporter.

“Neo sense”, huh? You’re an “afraid conservative”, then. You want the government to take care of you. I see.

I understand the difference. I am registered Independent but am a conservative in the 9-11, Neo sense. This is why, though I am appalled that we support the Animals in Palestine and spend too much, I also do not believe the anti-Israel Ron Paul Isolationist policies are the cure. A balance, perhaps.

Are you a Ron Paul person? I sure hope not. Talk about someone who had hoodwinked America via calling himself a “libertarian.”

Bush didn’t “decide on the surge”. The “Surge” is not some grand military strategy. They finally – after years – admitted they did not have enough troops deployed for the post-war environment.

Conservatives not only read, but understand what they read. They also pay attention.

Do you even understand what this war is about and who it is with? Do you approve of tripling our budget for a new Great Society? Do you like funding the Palestinians? Do you like seeing our country bend over for the founders of Muslim terror in Saudi Arabia? Do you like having next-to-no border security in a war with terrorists?

You, sir, may be a Republican. Are you a Conservative? Do you understand the difference?

We aren’t even fighting most fronts of the “GWOT”. The man won’t even name the enemy for fear he might offend them. His Administration actively funds Muslim terrorists in al Fatah. I certainly give him no “credit” for tripling our budget with his new Great Society (but, hey, I’m a conservative).

He has destroyed and demoralized the Republican Party.

Anyway, McCain, who was not my first choice, does not need to distance himself as the Obama cult members do not read nor think, just react—-so they’ll never understand.

Like Bush, McCain doesn’t believe we should even be a country.

Not one with defined borders, at least.

Iraq is far less important than the United States.
