Strange Postings: Yahoo Poster Claims Bush is a Liberal!
That's right, he thinks Bush is a liberal, and Kerry is a far left socialist. He predicts that in the future, the Republicans will be the liberal party, the Libertarians will be the conservative party, and that the Democrats will be reduced to third party status...

I saw this at work, and wish I had emailed the link home...

3. I saw a wingnut on tv today
He was whining about the Repubs not giving time to more conservative speakers during the convention. He also claimed that Bush wasn't conservative enough.
It's all relative.

6. I had an email conversation with a business friend of Bush in West Texas
Here is one of his goofy of an emails (I told him he sucked for supporting Bush)... He could probably be sued as an employer for saying what he said, but I did provoke him!

"Dear xxxxx:

First of all, I never stated any support for President Bush for any cause (other than I do like his approach towards Islamic terrorists). However, in my opinion, Mr.Bush is nothing more than a Democrat in Republican clothing, a Moderate at best.
This being said, since you obviously are quite capable of displaying your ignorance so eloquently, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and presume that you have a great deal of personal understanding for the word 'suck' (no doubt that you are quite good at it).
If you are contacting me in request for employment, you should be informed, none of my companies are in need of any illiterate labor assistance at this time as I have already hired the minimum quota of Democrats as required by the American Disabilities Act.
Should you wish to apply for a manual labor position for future consideration, then please, contact me again so that my staff and I may laugh more about your mental and emotional underqualifications.
If you are someone I've already had my staff fire, it's perfectly all right, as we are still laughing at you at this time."


Here this guy can't remember that Bush made statements against "Nation Building", but he is against the Patriot Act and Homeland Security - and remembers Clinton tried to pass similar legislation!!! (news to me)

"'What a waste of our hard earned money doing the "nation building" that he rallied against when he was campaigning in 2000.' --your quote

Elaborate in depth. I cannot recall a single time he rallied against that concept. Since that type of foreign policy was being put into position as early as March 19, 1996, with the then Democrat President Clinton's request before Congress to initiate forceful action against Iraq, President Bush simply continued existing policy without any changes.
The differences? In 1997, when the presidential request was voted upon in Congress, then President Clinton did not have the patsy Congress that now President Bush has had in place when a request was reintroduced in early 2002 and voted in with a majority of bipartisan support.

The same thing applies to the stupid and illegitimate Homeland Security Acts and Patriot Act. Former President Clinton initiated almost identical legislation nine years ago and it could not get past the House floor. Such legislation has the potential to trample completely over the United States Constitution and our nation's Bill of Rights. It should never have been proposed, much less passed.
"

Incredible how supposedly real conservatives are against the government trampling over our rights as citizens (more libertarian). Politics is an amazing study in human nature.
