Huge amounts of illegals in gangs. There’s a starting point for your inner city mess, Look to the border.

Interesting how your 4th item on your to-do list is using the national guard against it’s own citizens. I think you liberal, progressive, fascists have done similar things in the past.

Thanks for answering my points. I can’t get over the fact that more than 1 person here thinks I’m a “liberal plant”. If I showed up to caucus with you or at a party convention would you strip me of my Republican party affiliation?

Most likely I’ll hold my nose and vote for a Republican, like I’ve been doing since I first voted for Bush I, but I don’t think any of the candidates are compelling or offer any new or revolutionary ideas. I tried to summarize some things that are important to me.

Yes I know it’s unconstitutional to use the National Guard the way I advocate it but does our police force impress you? Are they doing a great job fighting the “war on drugs”? No! They suck at it! You don’t think gang crime is a big issue in American neighborhoods? Maybe I shouldn’t have said, “inner city”, but the point is the same. Gang garbage is killing Americans at a greater rate than the Iraq War. Maybe this could be alleviated through other ideas like dropping the War on Drugs altogether.

Before you drop the line “do you want another Souter? Another Bader Ginsburg?” please consider the following:

Who was it that blocked the Congress from using the “nuclear” option of forcing a straight up and down vote on his nominees? Remember the “Gang of 14?”

Who, in a Republican-majority congress, was the de facto leader of this group, a group sworn to prevent the President from appointing a constructionist to the court?

I believe you’ll find that it was McCain.

What would lead you to believe that he would *possibly* appoint anyone to the court who wouldn’t be as bad as Bader Ginsburg when he himself voted to confirm her?

I don’t want to make anyone cry here, but the “In name only” part of “RINO” really does mean “they’re actually liberals but, unlike Barack and Hillary, they lie about it.”

Giuliani increased spending in New York from less than $22 billion to over $27 billion in less than a decade. When Congress for once got its act together by reforming welfare in the mid-90s, Giuliani fervently opposed the reforms. His big government economic policies don’t stop here. Giuliani has fallen with Democrats on Medicare, supported increasing the minimum wage and backed regulations such as rent control.

Loved the “Billy Beer” line. The rest we could debate, but there’s no denying that Billy Carter was (is) quite a piece of work.

At the same time you have to admit inner cities are out of control. Maybe the National Guard could use the training they’ve got in Iraq and crack down on the inner-city insurgents running amuck in the cities.

I will bet you raised a stink when we tried to use the national guard on the border. That would have stopped much of the Illegal alien attack as well as drug interdiction. Hmmm, just thinking here. Typically, most liberal arguments are not based on fact or common sense but rather emotion, intolerance, do good-ism.

If you’re worried about judicial nominees, you should not vote for either McCain or Romney.

Most of Romney’s appointments were democrats. (

Romney and McCain are weak on judicial appointments, taxing and spending, amnesty, 2nd amendment, socialism and sanctity of life. And McCain has the McCain-Feingold horror.

They are the worst two offenders left in the RINO camp. Ron Paul would be a decent conservative if he wasn’t so mentally challenged when it comes to 9-11 (and if his supporters wouldn’t spam so much).

Huck has problems with taxing and spending and immigration.

Again, any candidate despised by the Jayson Blair Times should be conservative enough.

So, in other words, “Young and Restless” is a liberal Democrat. That is what I have suspected about those supporting Ron Paul.

Yes, you’re right, I’m a liberal. Too bad there’s not a roll eyes icon on this site.

1a) War on Terror is overblown, poorly fought and costing billions of dollars. I’m sorry but that’s the truth. Specifically I’m talking about Iraq.
1b)I had no problem with going into Iraq, but I didn’t really buy the reason . Bush should’ve been honest about saying, “The real reason we are going into Iraq is to fight them on their soil instead of here…” instead of trumping up the threat of Saddam. Everyone in Congress gets an F for that as well, why are Senators running when they enabled the fiasco?
2a) Any Federal Immigration Reform is going to be weaker than what states are doing to crackdown, ie. Georgia, and Arizona. It’s obvious that no one at the Federal level supports enforcement through attrition.
2b) For 4 years now I’ve advocated that if Bush/McCain/etc. want an amnesty they need to first show they will enforce the law. So start enforcing the law, either through harsh employer sanctions or whatever. We had a “comprehensive reform” in 1986, it failed.
3) I’m not all that crazy about the government in Washington for the past 15+ years. Why do we keep electing the same blankityblank’s over and over again?
4) Before getting any more support on the War on Drugs the government needs to step up it’s support or just stop the whole fiasco. I’m not convinced people who do drugs are awful people that need jail time.

5) Trade with China (or trade imbalance or importing or exporting manufacturnig) is a bigger threat than radical Islam. The next 9/11 can just as easily be prevented through stringent immigration/”Who is in our country” enforcement as military action in Iraq. Focus on overseas intervention in the wake of 9/11 should have been on Afghanistan, but that is now an abject failure. We can’t go into every flippin’ country in the ME just because they harbor terrorism.

Bush preached, “Rule of Law” but Rule of Law has been running a-muck in this country and others since Clinton came in office.

I don’t really care about partisan politics, but I do care that this country is a great place to live with freedom. Just because I have different ideas than the party line or disagree with party line or even blogger-party line doesn’t mean I’m a liberal.

I actually think Bill Gates has some decent ideas on non-governmental agencies doing good, or something like “kind capitalism”. It’s better for liberals like that to use their own companies (like Google) to impact change on the world rather than doing so through the current political structure. Current political structure stinks.
