Well, it starts with my dad... he has voted for Republicans for his whole life... he is Republican... but last time I saw him, he was yelling about how "Bush spends more than a d*mn Democrat" and how he just a "Big business president, not a Republican president"\nHe doesn't seem to want to vote Republican in the next election because they have only shown irresponsiblity with money and with their majority... \nMy father is not the only one I know like this... several even in Congress have said this same thing...   \nThe Republicans can't win without their base and it's clearly not there anymore... he hates Democrats, but he hates Bush worse... "At least Clinton had a balanced budget" he said... maybe the only nice thing I've ever heard him say about Clinton in my life...\n\nI think you guys are toast... and it's your fault.... what do you think about the alienated long-time Republicans, because they are out there...

I think in the next election a Democrat will get in because everyone is over the lies, war, and over spending.  If anyone remembers, when Clinton was in office gas was at .77 cents per gallon - today its 2.73 a gallon at the cheap gas station.  Bush has not done anything to help this country and has only driven up the debt and broken ties with other countries by going to war, based on lies.

It says don't vote for the Democrat for what he stands for vote against George Bush. What a plan. I didn't vote for the Democrat cause I really liked his message. I voted against Bush. Intelligent people vote for beliefs. I believe George has done a good job. There are things I would have done differently but in the end the economy is up, housing is up, deficit has been cut in half, no attacks on American soil since 9/11, gas prices are down.\n\nGo vote for someone that stands on their merits not against the other guy!

i woudl say ppl vote for him because they are misinformed or it's in there best intrest,although i have yet to meet somone benifiting from bush being in power(these people fly in private jets over us while we sleep) i will admit he would have made a better comedian than a leader(cracked jokes at last speech when prompter failed),his inclusion of faith based politics,and that sending ppl my age and yunger into battle underfunded and mom and dad having to send them armor and bullets just seems sureal but thats whats happening right now so yeah why do ppl vote for him,i've talked with a few ppl that say he knows what's what but thats a marginal few where is this majority of supporters?are they closed off from news sources using the same baracade they used on protesters to keep them out of king george's earshot...mabey they live in the same cloistered bubble he does and dont have to deal with heating costs and health coverage..it's a damn good question..mine is what does it take to impeach a president based on his conduct?

I don't care what Clinton did in his personal life. It's none of my business like it's none of these others responding to this question. Clinton did his job...better than Bush. He had more sense than Bush too. When you see you're people getting killed left and right (Somalia) pull them motherf***ers out of there and get out of dodge. Makes common sense. You don't keep sending more in because of your stubbornness and pride to the i won't lose syndrome. You're going to lose the war and get thousands of families killed for no reason. I'd never vote for Bush any of them his cousin soon to be on the way in office either. I never voted for none of them and I'm glad I didn't. Thanks Bill Clinton for giving the economy it's best years since the 1980's. I can't say yeah, those were the good old days when this decade is over with. I never in my life had years were I said "I don't want to remember those years." until Bush came in office. As a black man, I know that Clinton if I were walking down the street he'd speak to me and probably have dinner with me. I doubt very seriously if i were by myself Bush would speak to me if he seen me on the street. Condeleeza Rice is just a front to make him not appear racist to the media. That's the only reason she got that high position. Yo, i'm out of here. All of this talk about bush is about to make me head for the trash can.(Going to Earl) I'm out man!

You are mistaken on every level.  Bush is 'being debated as the worst president"?  By whom?  Some typical crybaby liberals with no answers except, "Bush is bad".\n\nYour liberal hero's also said their were WMD, we found the ones that wern't moved to syria.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Saddam was playing musical weapons with the inspectors.  Are you that naive?\n\nI don't particularly listen to Rush, but when I do, he has documented every statement he has ever made.  Much like Sean Hanity.  Tell me specifically what they said that was incorrect.  I doubt you can do it.\n\nYou want to talk about the foundation of this country?  Do you think it was founded on socialism?  It was not, so why do you vote democrat?  They are the new socialist party.  Everything they stand for is a socialist program.  Name one thing that is not. \n\nThe grandkids money statement makes no sense.  Your answer is obviously tax high, and give to people who don't work?  Please elaborate what you mean.\n\nYour a typical liberal spewing the nonsense of the likes of michael moore and bill mahar.  You have nothing to say but baseless namecalling.  I have yet to see a liberal who can back up his b.s. with facts.  \n\nSimply put, we are not a socialist country.  We will not allow you liberal democrats a chance to change that fact.  Get off your lazy liberal butt, and go to work.  If you work hard, you will be rewarded.  If you do not, work hard, then I guess you can go protest along with all the other lazy liberal scum.\n------------------\n\nBen, stop your crying.  The election was won by BUSH AGAIN.\n\nThe electorial college is how we vote in this country, and there is a reason for it.  We can not have a small area that is heavily populated make rules that hurt the rest of the nation.  It's how things are done.  Stop crying about the lost election.  Better yet, slap yourself in the face and say to yourself, "I don't want to be a socialist".

I am in Ohio...ashamed of my neighbors.\nMy friend, a loyal democrat, phoned me this morning to start rubbing it in.\nI asked her if she will be happy with Nancy Pelosi being speaker of the house, and made some points about her ass backwards liberal agenda, Kennedy, Reid...you know the jackasses running our fine nation.\nHer response was "I didnt vote them in"\nUM, well, you voted DEMOCRAT right? YOU DID vote them in, and I hope you are happy because YOU and your BUSH hating buddies are going to get EXACTLY what you asked for....\nterror attacks\nno limit abortions\ngay marriage\nembryonic stem cell research...which I would like to add shows NO promise is curing ZERO diseases and treating ZERO as well\nACLU coming out to defend whackos like Cindy Sheehan, who has found fame off of the dirt of her sons grave that she has not even taken the time to mark with a headstone in TWO years\nShe then brought up that the economy would thrive, her taxes...blah blah blah, I asked her why is this important to you, you dont even work and have not in 9 years.\nIt all goes back to the war in Iraq and they hate the President.\nOK, again, congrats, you will get what you asked for.\nShame on Ohio.

He took money from the insurance companies for his campaign, yet tells us he'll do something about the rates....yea right!!!!.\n\nI wrote and asked how he stood on Illegal Immigration and his office said he supports stronger borders and funding the police in this State to go after them....yet he surely doesn't say much about it in public, therefore I feel he is once again pulling the wool over every ones eyes in order to get elected.\n\nI have written to Charlie about many issues that as Attorney General he had control over and he NEVER responded to me in any way shape or form.\nHe is a lying, cheating, 20 plus year politician who doesn't deserve to be anything but unemployed.\n\nHe did not get my vote for governor and neither did Davis.\nI voted absentee ballot, I want my vote to count and do not trust the machines.\n\nAs a veteran, Thank you for voting, even if it cancels out my vote.  :)

Jim W you are funny.  From just talking to liberals and democrats, I find that ,that is their motto.  Hate republicans because they are rich and only care about rich people.  Blah blah blah.  I know, I was raised in a Hispanic home where they tried to teach me that.  Luckily, I can think for myself and see what the democrats are all about.\n\nAs for Bill and Hillary, let them, none of it came from me.

Gotta love these Republicans. When things go wrong the 1st thing they do is BLAME IT ON CLINTON! For some reason I think that the RNC sent out a book to all registered party members and that is all it says. Well I have news for you all, it is 2006, Clinton has been out of office for 6 years now. This is your mess, not his.  If you would read something other than Druggy Limbaughs crap, or O'Rielly's junk, and see the other side of the story you might see that there is some merit to what Progressives in this country want to do.

No telling who the front running candidates are, too soon to tell.\n\nYou're claim that the economy is "so good" that your roomie bought a truck on credit. You mean he *had* to buy a truck on credit because he has *no* job. \n\nIn fact the economy is sooo great, decent, educated, Americans are losing their jobs to 3rd world countries. \n\nThe economy is so great, interest rates, the cost of living, the cost of gasoline, the cost of goods, has sky rocketed, while wages have stayed the same or gotten smaller.\n\nYeah, terrific, thanks. Mean while I'm actually paying *more* in taxes so the rich can enjoy a tax cut. Outstanding!\n\nAnyway, just FYI, cause I can see you really haven't thought this all the way through ... Just because Dubya isn't running for president doesn't mean presidential candidates cannot point to the failed policies of the Bush Administration and link them to the GOP candidates who still support Bush. \n\nAlso note that a lot of conservative have distanced themselves from President Bush, only a handful still support him.\n\nI wonder why that is? Could it be that Dubya has screwed the pooch? Could it be that his policies have ... oh, what's the word? Damn my liberal public education. Oh! I know - FAILED.\n\n____\nTo the idiot who posted this question ... Your buddy's job proves *absolutely nothing*! Let that sink into your thick skull for a second ... If that is even possible.

Seriously, that is one thing I noticed a long time ago about Republicans and part of what made me switch parties to democrat. \n\nThere seems to be this mentality in the Republican party to constantly blame ANYTHING or ANYBODY else you can for whatever downfall you see in the country at that moment.\n\nThat could be gays demoralizing our nation to those darn anti-patriot treasonist liberals. LOL

The Bush administration is easy to understand.  They are doing exactly what they set out to do--line their own pockets and make life good for them.  When it was first announced that George Jr. was running, I told everyone: "If he is elected, within 2 years we will be in a war with Iraq, we will have a deficit again and unemployment will soar".  No great prophecy there, anyone with common sense knew it was bound to happen.\n   The supporters are way beyond my comprehension.  It is all there in black and white, what this man has done to this country.  It seems that even when he hurts some of them personally they still stand firm behind him.  As an example, my father is a disabled American veteran, Bush cut medical for the veterans, Dad now has to pay a portion of what he once got for free. Dad is also a conservative republican who feels this is somehow Clinton's fault.  \n   I think that Bush and his propaganda posse manages to keep all his supporters rallying for him by bringing up issues that take their minds off of the more important issues.  They bring up emotional issues like abortion and gay marriage, which they will never be able to do anything about anyhow, because some people just can't comprehend that war casualties are full term abortions.  And so many people out there still believe that it was Hussein that was behind 9-11 rather than Bin Laden.  They prey on the minds of the emotional, the weak, the profiteers, those who honestly believe that he is a man of God rather than the cold, calculating and yet somehow mentally challenged "leader" that he is.  They will always find excuses for him, all the death and destruction he has caused because that Godless Bill Clinton got a BJ.

First off Clinton was the Man~! \n& for the repukes \nLying Comes Naturally to Republicans\nWhenever Republican politicians find themselves in trouble, their automatic knee-jerk reaction is to blame Democrats. If there is nothing to blame Democrats for, they merely make something up - they lie. This is exactly what the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman, following the lead of his boss George W. Bush, has done and is doing. He is placing the blame of the mean and punitive House immigration bill on the Democrats, when he knows that it is an outrageous lie.\n"To be anti- George Bush is to be pro-American," \n\n I think he's dangerous, and he has to be stopped." \n\nU.S. Troops Killed in Iraq Tops 2,400 <words/latestnews/index.php?id=6682>

Normally I vote as a Moderate. I like our leaders to be as center as possible. I was attracted to Bush's thought of compassionate Conservatism as it was an idea of moderation. I cannot stand the far left and do not think the far right are any better. Though with the choices at hand and the state of the world today I have to ask myself one question," What sort of world do I want my grandchildren to live in?" Currently, my oldest is 13 years old so I'm talking 20 years down the road. I am voting Republican across the board. The Muslim extremist make it very clear. Their only objective is to convert the world to Islam at the cost of innocent life. The war is really with Iran and the battleground just happens to be in Iraq. They must be defeated or eventually a nuclear bomb will no doubt end up in the hands of terrorists somewhere here in America. The Iranian president says publicly that it his reason for being to facilitate the "true Jihad" and calls for the destruction of Israel and the great Satan of America. It is a time for Conservative leadership at the moment. A day will come when I will vote towards the left. The left attempts to make us think this is their time . I believe otherwise. The stakes are too high. Mistakes have been made, Yes. Yet this is time for a "leader", not a time for someone who really only cares what the polls are saying. Thank You.

Absolutely YES. I come from a Republican Family and I am at odds with many. They put "Being a Republican" ahead of logical thinking. How can a thinking person support George Bush. I am a Republican but this man is a walking disaster. He has done ,NOT one thing to improve this country. I think it is all to make his daddy richer and happier. Iraq was and is a disaster. The man lied and keeps on lying about the war. The man on the street knows better how the war is going. Enlisted people are going to jail because they are being held responsible for what officers told them to do and then denied giving the orders.Any one who has been in combat knows that enlisted men and women do only what they are told. The marines involved in the killing of civilians were told by HIGH UP the chain of command to do whatever they did. Officers will not be sacrificed. Enlisted "Grunts " will. My family believes the propaganda from the White House- I do not.
