I'd been looking around for this map of the counties. This is just incredible how those who live in Entitlement zones (read big metropolis) vote so "gimme". While those who (to quote George Bailey badly) do most of the "living and working and dying" vote "what can I do".

"Living and working and dying," and "entitlement zones"? Does that count the agricultural subsidies, price floors, rural welfare, and pork barrel projects? As I've said a million times, it's much easier to talk about free markets than to actually enact free market policies (something this administration has failed at). Red Areas are even guiltier than the Blue Zones, although they're also more prone towards self righteousness with regards to hand-outs (many or most of which they receive). http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37004&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20. Gimme tax breaks AND gimme entitlements what ever happened to fiscal responsibility?

Sure, let's compare the ag subsidies received by hard-working farmers, who need the subsidies in order to continue to put bread on your table, to the handouts given the lazy dumasses who sit on their duffs claiming they're "disabled," and reach out for a handout not a handup, shall we?

If you're fiscally conservative Republican, I suggest you either promote major change within the current fiscally irresponsible GOP (the most irresponsible spender in history), or consider yourself an independent. I grow incredibly weary of self-congratulatory pseudo-free-market Republicans. The Republican Party will never become even marginally free market as long as complacency replaces facts.

Um, that's what this thread is for. It's for us "self-congradulatory pseudo-free-market Republicans" to gloat about and act stupid without comment from the peanut gallery. Please bug off if you aren't going to join the party. We'll debate you on the other threads.

Fox - I don't think she was all that enthusiastic about being first lady. That one NBC (I think) interview where she talked non-stop about the love of her life (her first Republican husband) sort of showed where her heart truly was.

I heard some campaign gossip that she was very unreliable to the point of either being late for appearances and sometimes even not showing up at all. Doesn't sound like she cared much, really.

Steppenwolf, this is the pro-Bush thread. There are plenty of others to bash the GOP Smile

One remarkable thing about the first Bush term is that it is the most scandal free administration in my memory. That reflects well on the leadership.

I do think we need to exert our collective power now to encourage the president and elected leaders to exert more fiscal responsibility this next four years. It is a given that the deficit as a percentage of the GNP is not all that serious, but our leaders must know that we don't want the goodies at a cost of a lot of red ink.

I say "not yet." You should stick with A-1 for a few months longer. Yes it's punitive, but deserved.

On my way out the door, those of us who were on the campaign e-mail list received personalized e-mails from the President after the election. Wish I could do it with the graphics but don't know how to reproduce those from an e-mail:

Dear ______, (My first name was here)

We had a long night -- and we had a great night. The voters turned out in record numbers and delivered an historic victory.

I want to thank our supporters across this country. At every stop I asked you to make the calls, put up the signs, talk to your neighbors, and get out the vote. And because you did your part, we are celebrating today. Thanks to you, we received more votes than any presidential ticket in history.

America has spoken. And I am humbled by the trust and confidence of my fellow citizens. With that trust comes a duty: I will serve all Americans, so help me God. I am proud to lead such an amazing country -- and I am proud to lead it forward.

Reaching our goals will require the broad support of Americans. A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation. We have one country, one Constitution, and one future that binds us all. And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America.

A campaign has ended, and our cause is renewed. The United States of America goes forward with confidence and faith. I can see a new day coming, and I am eager for the work ahead. God bless you all, and God bless America

George W. Bush

(And you just have to love that there is a typo in the letter. Smile

Whats with this FREEDOM fries and FREEDOM toast stuff? Are you just being sarcastic or are you that biggoted? Why is there this desire for the rest of the world to just come cowing to you and do as you say? You all talk about morals - yet you are waging a 100% immoral war on what was a soveriegn nation. You took it upon yourselves to invade another country!!!. You cause nearly 100,000 innocent Iraqis to be blown off the face of the earth (in the space of 18 months - something I doubt Saddam could even have done) yet gay marriage and stem cell research and abortion are immoral!! - how do you balance those two things in your head? People say that a change of leadership would have been bad in the middle of a war - I've got news for you, you'll still be in Iraq come the next Presidential election (nobody in here can be so naieve as to think you will). Bush refused point blank to meet Yasser Arafat - how unchristian is that.Talk about flip flopping!!! So much for stopping at nothing in the pursuit of peace.
Lets face it, North Korea and Iran proved much more threatening to world stability than Iraq and even at that the threats are minisule. Why didnt your great president do anything about this - sure you're the worlds only "super"power. I'll tell you cause the top brass in the US military know that they cant even go into a country of the size and population of Iraq and get them to tow the line. North Korea would suck you in and destroy you. Someone once said to me "all it would take would be a few crack special service units to sort out the situation in the Sudan", no it wouldnt - cause the Mogidishu episode is still fresh in the mind.

All I'm asking is : Where does this dangerously over inflated opinion of yourselves come from? Land of the free? How is it? Staunchly Conservative nations are rarely tagged with the term "land of the free".

Look I'm not conservative (no sh*t says you) and I just would love to know what you guys are all about!!
