Weekly Standard: Social Conservatism Is A Must For GOP Hopefuls

[dvsden]

In other words, you can flip-flop all you want, as long as you flop to the conservative side of the issues.

[bluestardad]

President Bush is holding Hostage all the America Troops in the Iraq War Theater by indicating that if Congress Cuts funding for the His Iraq War Plan he will leave the troops over there anyway without supplies and equipment they need, instead of bringing them home. Is that anything other than kidnapping or hostage taking? Supporting the Troops does not mean Supporting the War in Iraq or the Bush Idea of the War in Iraq! There is a difference! It is bad enough that the Bush Administration sent the troops to Iraq on false pretences, ill equipped and ill prepared with no end game plan. The Rovian spin of a Congressional Vote against the Bush Iraq war scenario is a vote against the Troops just validates the Bush Administration resolve to Hold the Military Troops Hostage to his Iraq war plan regardless of the will of America and its elected representatives.

Bush is playing all of us against each other! In one hand he is touting the Red White and Blue war on Terror against everyone who attacked us on 911 and on the other hand he is funding Al Qaeda to destabilize other governments in the Middle East! Here is the stream read it yourself!

You're right Fred, it's not pandering, it's just what you said: "True, there's a large element of pandering when a candidate switches positions on abortion, gay marriage, and other social issues with an eye to gaining votes." Oh wait you didn't mean pandering as in "flip flopping" or as in "making promises based on polls" you meant pandering as in "I'm lying through my teeth, and I have no real integrity and I will say anything you want to hear so you'll vote for me".

Good thing you were here to tell us about those steadfast Republican candidates and thier message of integrity...urp...sorry, I just threw up a bit in my mouth.

That's just a few links. I'm not going to do all of your research for you.

And this article was about the Conservatives being so concerned about abortion and "same-***" marriage.

But apparently they are not too concerned about children living in poverty without health care and all the other real issues of the day.

And NO, I don't think this "war has to be won". What is your definition of victory? what does winning look like? How do we know when we win? All we are accomplishing is angering more and more muslims and arabs, putting our bravest and best in harms way, and spending a boatload to do it. I think the longer we "stay the course" the more we lose.

The hatred and anger that these fundamentalist wackos feel towards the US goes back many years, since before the Carter administration. This war was started by them! Do you just want to sit back and let the violence escalate? Do you honestly feel that if we leave it all alone it will go away? We were attacked on our soil, unprevoked, and lost thousands; it's just going to happen again if we walk away now. Victory means peace in the middle east, victory means ensuring that these people don't attack us again. I want victory.


Zoroastor, you are a hypocrite. I am filled with anger and hatred? Please. Why don't you read some of the other posts. The division of our country really scares me. We are on the verge of civil war and it's evident here in these posts. Politics and the media are to blame. I just wish people would wake-up and STOP the hatred and anger towards each other.

afmca-
I do not subscribe to any brand of Jewish mythology/fairy tales. Christian, Islam and Judaism are all equally bogus deluions/insanity and the source of many of world's woes.

[zoroastor]

Katg21,
how do you live with all that anger and hatred - and how do you reconcile it with your puported Christian values when Christ himself said to "love thy neighbor as thyself", the church says to "love the sinner and hate the sin." ? I never see much love in your comments.
Even if you are right in your opinions, which I highly doubt, it doesn't absolve you of the hate.

And NO, I don't think this "war has to be won". What is your definition of victory? what does winning look like? How do we know when we win? All we are accomplishing is angering more and more muslims and arabs, putting our bravest and best in harms way, and spending a boatload to do it. I think the longer we "stay the course" the more we lose.

[afmca]

To JohnShaft4 - your comment shows your true Christian spirit .. maybe you would like to return to the days of the Inquisition when the church tried to hide the truth and keep people dumb and impoverished. They would even burn you at the stake to save your soul. To most Republicans and their wacko-right supporters, the real inconvenient truth is our Constitution.

[afmca]

2006 showed that Americans are finally seeing through the lies of the religious right and Rove's manipulation of bigotry. Hopefully 2008 will make these people a permanent undercurrent in American politics and Democrats will attain massive majorities. Hopefully a super majority will allow for the "outing" of these pseudo-Christian leaders whose only real motive is to become extremely rich and powerful using the bigotry and fear of the scared and misinformed. Romney .. McCain .. both toast!

"Bush turns his back on America's children, our veterans, the homeless, and our citizens recovering from Katrina.

Bush spends trillions on an ill-advised, monstrously mis-managed war.

Bush's policies manage to boost membership in terrorist organizations while simultaneously turning most of the world against us.

And all the Conservatives care about is abortion and same-*** marriage.

What's wrong with this picture? "

What's wrong with this picture is that you are totally disillusioned and it's laughable. Explain to me please how Bush is turning his back on our children? The way I see it he's securing a future for them that is free from those who would do them harm. Remember 9/11, sometimes I think you people forget what those horrible people did to our country. It is the responsibility of the president to make sure that doesn't happen again; you don't understand that I guess. War is horrible, true, but this war has to be won wouldn't you agree? Now are you only going to blame Bush for the homeless, Katrina victims, and war? Come on there has to be more... what about global warming, contaminated food, the cold weather, the bird flu, the starving people in ethiopia, your dirty laundry?

Now I've forgotten what the article, that we are suppose to be commenting on, is all about. Thanks alot.

NO MORE NEOCONS!!

Bush is playing all of us against each other! In one hand he is touting the Red White and Blue war on Terror against everyone who attacked us on 911 and on the other hand he is funding Al Qaeda to destabilize an counter other governments in the Middle East! The recently resigned terrorist Czar ask for a demotion to deputy Secretary of State Because he did not want to be tangled up with another Iran Contra style Funding Fiasco that is going on in Lebanon. Here is the stream read it yourself!

Iran Contra, al Qaeda Lebanon same oh same oh! The Bush Administration is covertly supporting a minimum of three Sunni al Qaeda organizations in Lebanon to act as a buffer against the Shiite Hezbollah. Yes and the money is coming from the billions of dollars unaccounted for from Iraq! This support is not regulated by Congress, is in direct contravention to the WAR on TERROR the NEOCONS expound, and is under the same pretext as the Iran Contra Scandal of the late 1980s! This was reported by Wolf Blitzer yesterday on CNN and again tonight!

Email Congress LET THEM KNOW YOU KNOW OF THIS DIRTY LITTLE SECRET!
