Conservatives Against Bush
This web site was brought to my attention just recently. If it has been posted and discussed before, my apologies.

About Us


Conservatives Against Bush was founded to propound the conservative principles that this administration has forsaken. This President has expanded the welfare state, saddled future generations with debt, eroded some of our basic freedoms, and waged a spurious war in Iraq that in the end did not make the U.S. any safer. We seek to reenergize conservatives, so they will press for change in this administration.

Yes, Virginia, I do believe our country is waking up.

1. Hope so
One side has the people waking up and really disliking Bush as we search for the truth. However we have the other side of American society that appears to me to be buying into the lies and propaganda even more.

Over spending, large government and hypocracy are all traits I notice in Bush that conservatives probably don't like. The Bush team is self destructing. Pretty quick it's going the be Bush and Pat Robertson against the world.

2. Yes the country is waking up
Just like it did in 1800, I suspect that once this is over some
will call this the Third American Revolution.

Not too often can anybody say they lived through history.

I just hope we can go back to a "normal period" once this is
over, but the Neo Connies will not go away... so as they say,
eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.

3. have heard more than one
self-proclaimed republican/conservative, on various reich-wing radio shows, state that they would not vote for the whistelass again

is it too late for a repug to throw his/her hat into the ring and "force" a repug nomination convention?

5. I think these guys
Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 05:38 AM by K-Centrist
. . . are sailing under false colors.

They look like libertarians to me.

But far be it from me to stop 'em. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, at least when we're talking about life and death matters, like the excision of the Bush cancer from the People's House.

6. Conservatives.
It's entirely possible that some conservatives may abandon whistle-ass because he's not conservative ENOUGH! :crazy:

I know it sounds crazy, but who says you have to be sane to be a right winger? In fact, it's pretty obvious that the opposite is true! :silly:

Any D over any r in '04! :bounce: :kick:

7. The Repubs Haven't Been Conservative for Years
Conservatism used to mean a small government that didn't try to run peoples' lives, stuck to the business of defense, infrastructure, etc and didn't believe in spending money that didn't exist. We haven't had that in years. If we had, there would be no debate about about reproductive rights, gay marriage, prayer in school, etc because those are not true conservative issues; in fact, conservatism says that those should never be governmental issues.

9. Exactly
They have distorted the language so that noone even knows what conservative means anymore.
Here's what has happened.
What you just described are conservative "principles."
The Republicans (I'm not going to call them conservatives here) have hijacked the word and labelled "ideological issues" as conservative even when they run counter to conservative "principles."
For example- the Pledge of Allegience. They passed a state law here to force schools to say it every week. If a person voted against that bill in the name of "local control", it was a "conservative" vote. However, it was totally hijacked and the "conservatives" (otherwise known as radical right wingers) labelled it as a conservative issue and anyone who voted against was a radical leftist.
I think that most people like to consider themselves "conservative." So, it could be constructed that "conservative" is the middle. Then moveing left and right you go from conservative as a description of the position to radical.

Reclaiming language would help us immensly in this and future elections as well as any other political action.

8. Let Freedom Ring so loudly that even the brain dead hear it!
This time 'We The People' didn't start the revolution the SCOTUS did! We Outnumber the 5 evil ones on the SCOTUS 280 million to 5! I still like the odds! We just need to kick some asses out of our houses in Washington and see that the 'RULE OF LAW' works equally for everyone in America and not just the chosen few!

The Repuggies I talk to are waking up too! I still can't forgive them for helping Prince Pandora ruin the country! Gawd help me, it just feels too f?cking good to say, 'I TOLD YOU SO'!

To win a Revolution one must fight fire with fire! There is too much at stake to worry about the little divisive things now, there was in 2000! Nice guys finish DEAD last, even when they finish first in the Bush League!!!!!! Al would have been far, far, better for America and now the other side sees it too!
