Mr. Bush listed his priorities as tax cuts, spending discipline (good news, because the lack of such discipline has, in fact, disturbed many conservatives)......In short, the president showed why conservatives will support him in November: Because he is one of them

Bwaaahhhhaaa.....spending discipline? This president? Maybe you haven't heard, we have now the largest deficits in history, by far. You are fooling yourself if you think Bush is a conservative.

Kerry can't win if he doesn't drop the negativity and start providing a positive vision to potential supporters. Read the pair of articles posted towards the end of this thread.

That all sounds peachy, particularly coming from the mouthpiece of the Unification Church, but Dubya didn't win in 2000 by representing himself as a reactionary zealot, but by campaigning to the middle.... how does he do that now, given his record?

Cad, be more careful of those initials. I thought "P.R.C." was the Peoples' Republic of China.

one issue [fiscal policy] makes the President not conservative? so, since kerry [supposedly] is a fiscal conservative, that makes him not a liberal now?

Under bush with the republican congress non-military spending is up ~ 3% per year, as opposed to when Clinton was in office and it was 20+%.

Military expenditures are necessary to fighting the war on terrorist creating brands of fundamentalist Islam. A deficit isn't a bad thing if it's avoiding deflation.

No, bush is not a conservative; but he is anti-abortion, strong on defense, a tax-cutter, and for less government discretionary spending.

Kerry can't hold a match to that, though being in Texas I?ll probably vote constitutional party this year; but if i lived in florida i'd be voting bush.

Dang it, what was that party that was dominant in Germany in the 30's?
Seems they had a lot of support too.

Amazing lack of analysis. We had the world's most potent military on 9/11, and it did us not one bit of good. No amount of military might will "stop terrorism", other than the imposition of a totalitarian state. Even that has limited effectiveness- ask the Israelis.

Do you think that F22's will have some effect on urban terrorist cells? That a new class of nuclear attack subs will somehow deter Osama? That NMD or bunker-busting nukes will dissuade fundie zealots willing to die for their cause?

The Bush Military budget is the modern equivalent of the Maginot line, and the war in Iraq the rough equivalent of the medical practice of bleeding the sufferer to let the bad humors escape...

Too bad that the modern version of Conservatism is mostly knee-jerk response to well crafted propaganda, based on fundamental deception and misinformation. The leadership is not conservative at all, but rather reactionary, yearning for the political realities of the McKinley era, the Gilded Age, when immigrants were plentiful, labor almost free, taxes on the wealthy nonexistent, natural resources free for the taking, unions illegal, and minorities and women knew their place...

Hey, do you have something to add? Nope - didn't think so - just your normal bleatings. It is funny though, you think people are sheep yet you are the one running around bleating the same Bush apologist line. How cute...

Desperation? Buahahahaha!!! Quite the contrary. It seems as the writer of that OP/ED pointed out that the left has tried to see smoke where there is tranquil water.

Cad, guess I should have put a little smiley face on the original comment. I knew it was Pew Research Center, but I think you'll have to admit that P.R.C. is the first thought that jumps into many of our heads. No, come to think of it, I guess you won't have to admit it. To do so would mean sensitivity to an alternative position.
