Thank God I'm not the only one who feels this way

Here's the link to the column on Rush but it will be gone in a day so I'll post the column itself:

--------------------------------------------

We had a bunch of frustration boil over out there on our phone lines Tuesday, with callers vowing not to vote for President Bush over this prescription drug entitlement, which he supports - the greatest increase in social spending in the last 40 years, which will force every American taxpayer to pay for Baby Boomers' drugs, regardless of whether they need help paying for them.

Look, I hear you, folks. I understand the way you're thinking. I could be partially responsible for this, but I'm not going to sit here and try talk you out of the way you're feeling or thinking right now. But I do suspect that this attitude will change, once the campaign starts and you hear what the Democrats are saying about things.

You'll probably fall in love all over again with Bush once you hear what the Democrats are saying, no matter how mad he's made you now. You could call it Battered Voter Syndrome. We're all victims of this and we all will be coming back for more punishment. We do it every four years, and I suspect that all of you who called in on Tuesday are going to be right in there with us.

It’s like I told Jim in Inverness Florida. Who are you going to vote for: Howard Dean, the Breck Girl John Edwards, John F. Kerry, Joe F. Lieberman? Are you going to vote for the Libertarian to send a message? If you do that you're guaranteeing that you're voting for a loser. I think you just have to stay in there and keep plugging. When times get tough, keep plugging. That's what I think. I know it gets really difficult sometimes and the task seems overwhelming and impossible, but that's when you're needed the most. You need to be as active as you can, and not let this happen. That's what I think.
------------------------------------------------

This is why it gets me when Democrats try to paint Bush as this big right-winger. I'm a right-winger - Bush is justthisside of being a liberal. The only thing I can hope for is that he's trying to pull people to the Republican party, so he's pandering to the libs in hopes they'll accept his cockamamie ideas and change their registration. Regardless, I'm sorry I voted for him but he's still better than that little Socialist Al Gore.

Why Vrai?

 

[vraiblonde]

I'm sorry I voted for him because he's buying into this Socialized medicine crap and pledged to send all that money to the AIDS-ridden Africans, among other things.

He's better than Al Gore because Gore is a freak.

 

[vraiblonde]

Also, I think Bush waited too long and made too many public threats to Hussein, which gave him plenty of time to ditch the WMD. Bush should have just sent the troops in, recovered the goods and dealt with the UN later.

And speaking of the UN, I think Bush catered to them too much. He should have given them the finger right away instead of bothering with votes and crap that he knew he was going to lose.

 

[Kain99]

I can't argue with any of that...... I'm still breathing such a sigh of relief that Gore didn't get in that I can't see clearly yet! Considering the situation I may never see clearly.

 

[vraiblonde]

Not to mention how he's handling this Israeli/Palestinian business. The Israelis have been allies forever and the Palestinians are nothing more than terrorists. Why Bush felt the need to chastise Sharon is beyond me. Just because Bush is a wuss doesn't mean EVERYONE has to be.

Maybe, unlike what we have seen recently from our government, we have someone who thinks laws actually mean something? Maybe he sees that Israel is occupying and colonizing territory against the constraints of International Law? Maybe he realizes that if something isn’t done there will never be any chance for peace in that entire region? Maybe he chastised Sharon for assassinations that not only get the targets but a number of innocent bystanders further inciting more violence? Maybe it isn’t a wuss that you see but someone that is willing to make the right decisions (at least on this issue) even if the majority of people think he is wrong?

Ken, don't even start that sh*t with me. Everytime you talk about how the poor misunderstood Palestinians are merely Freedom Fighters and the Israelis are the oppressors, some Pal terrorist group homocide bombs a grocery store the next day.

The Palestinians are a bunch of murderous freaks who have no place in the International scheme of things. Bush is being a retard and he even admits he's being a retard - apparently he made nice with Sharon yesterday or something. Must get more information.

But a fake conservative is still better than a real liberal any day. (I read that somewhere and thought it was worth making my own )

Start what, a continuation of your rant, though in another direction? I can't help it if you have an uncompromising bigoted attitude towards these people. Simply because you cannot see the illegal injustice of what Israel is doing neither makes what I have said wrong nor does it make the actions being attempted by the President wrong.

I take it you think the Israelis are justified to kill whomever they want as long as one of the bodies can be linked to Hamas. In that same light you have just provided endorsement of the tactics used by the homicide bombers as long as one of the persons they kill will either become a soldier or has been one.

Don't be ridiculous. I don't even know any Palestinians and could care less about them. All I'm basing my opinion on are the facts, as reported on the news.

I don't consider those people "soldiers" - I consider them terrorists.

You said, “The Palestinians are a bunch of murderous freaks who have no place in the International scheme of things.” Please show me where in the news all Palestinians have been referred to as such? You do realize that there are many Palestinians that are not “murderous freaks”, your implication was that they all are?

I don't consider those people "soldiers" - I consider them terrorists.

I never said that they were soldiers, grab another cup of coffee and read it again. I do feel that many Palestinians are fighting against illegal occupation and settlement of the land the UN dedicated for them when Israel was created.

Why is it that Israel does not have to comply with International Law making acquisition of land resulting from combat illegal?

So Vrai, would you ever vote for lieberman over bush?

Nope - he sold his soul to be Al Gore's running mate. But there was a time I might have voted for him.

I want some mean SOB in there - one who isn't afraid to laugh in the faces of special interest groups. One who, when confronted with ghetto dwellers complaining about their lot in life, says, "Then go get a damn job and quit committing crimes! Get off the crack and quit popping out future felons!"

THAT'S the guy that would get my vote.

You should have voted for Pat Buchannon then, I came very close. I really liked his "This is America, speak English" commercial.

I think, at this time in American foreign relations in the Middle East, electing someone who is Jewish to be President could be hasty. I know that sounds awful, but it wouldn't be great right now, considering all the hatred towards the US from the Arab and Muslim world.

I don't think Jesse Ventura will run.

I voted for Alan Keyes in the primary - he was the meanest SOB running. I saw a speech he did to a predominantly black audience - talked in fiery tones about personal responsiblity and policing your own. Brought the house down.

Lieberman used to be a figurehead of the Parents Television Council, a group aimed at censoring television.

I will never vote for a censor.

I really liked Keyes. I wonder why he hasn't been tapped for an administration post.

Keyes is a little much for most people. He's very uncompromising and that probably doesn't make a good third banana. Also, he's got that Al Sharpton thing going on where he doesn't toe the party line - he'll blast a Republican same as a Democrat.
