The Conservative Case Against Bush

[Guy Fawkes]

<snip>

Theodore Roosevelt, that most virile of presidents, insisted that, "To announce that there should be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American people." With that in mind, I say: George W. Bush is no conservative, and his unprincipled abandonment of conservatism under the pressure of events is no statesmanship. The Republic would be well-served by his defeat this November.

2. If you are trying to convert a conservative, then attack Bush from

the right. Talk about the huge budget deficits, how he wants to legalize illegal immigrants, spending too much time and money invading other countries, etc.

3. Right...

Also, wrecking the military by stretching it too much.

5. Teddy Roosevelt Wasn't No Stinkin' Repugnican...

...William Howard Taft was. LOL!

Honestly, I used that quote prior to the Iraq invasion and got bombarded by Freepers explaining how TR wasn't a "true" Repugnican. I agree, he was too Progressive and why he was drummed out of the party

6. The surprising, and slightly worrying thing

is the guy who posted that to the Pravda forum has "stormfront.org" under his name. Stormfront is an extremely racist 'white pride' group. I feel uneasy when I find myself apparently with the same objective as pieces of shit like that.
