Web Links for your Conservative/Pug Friends
Edited on Thu Oct-07-04 10:43 AM by nostalgicaboutmyfutr
All,

You know they are out there....republican or conservative friends (let's face facts, about half the country is looking to vote Bush).

I have a list of links that I have passed forward to some of my conservative friends, that they find easier to read then just Dem-focused rants....these links are republicans or conservatives talking to republicans or conservatives.

So pass them on to friends and family and let them know that they are not alone in questioning Bush....then deciding to vote against him

Let's make no doubt about this fight...i don't want kerry to just win, I want a Kerry landslide. To do this we must turn many republicans who need an exuse to vote Kerry (or another candidate)...and give them a sense of community that there are many others like them doing the same.







Some of the most damming info about bush comes from REPUBLICANS/CONSERVATIVES themselves...

"Once we had rounded up Saddam, then the question is what do you do. . . . You’d have to put some kind of a government in place, and then the question comes is it going to be a Shia government or a Kurdish government. Or maybe a Sunni government, or maybe it ought to be based on the old Baathist party regime or some combination thereof. How long is that government going to be able to stay in power without U.S. military support to keep it there. . . . I would guess if we’d have gone to Baghdad I’d still have forces in Iraq today. I don’t know how we would have let go of that tar baby once we grabbed hold of it.

I thought Kerry did very, very well; and I thought Bush did poorly — much worse than he is capable of doing. Listen: If I were just a normal guy — not Joe Political Junkie — I would vote for Kerry. On the basis of that debate, I would. If I were just a normal, fairly conservative, war-supporting guy: I would vote for Kerry. On the basis of that debate.

And I promise you that no one wants this president reelected more than I. I think that he may want it less.

Let me phrase one more time what I wish to say: If I didn't know anything — were a political naïf, being introduced to the two candidates for the first time — I would vote for Kerry. Based on that infernal debate.

Former CIA agent Ray McGovern went over what he considers the failures of the intelligence community and current administration over the past few years. He has 27 years of experience as a CIA analyst to draw upon and has dealt with every administration from Kennedy to Bush Sr.

He criticized the 9/11 Commission's final report, saying the committee was comprised of political extremists who couldn't reach a consensus.

"It wasn't a bipartisan commission; it was more like a bipolar commission," McGovern said. "To say that no one could prevent 9/11 was a bold-faced lie. It basically let the president and everyone responsible off the hook."

listen to the republicans themselves provide their insight on Iraq:

"The fact is a crisp, sharp analysis of our policies is required. We didn't do that in Vietnam, and we saw 11 years of casualties mount to the point where we finally lost," said Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Vietnam War veteran who is co-chairman of President Bush's re-election committee in Nebraska.

A major problem, said leaders of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was incompetence by the administration in reconstructing the country's shattered infrastructure.

The chairman, Sen. Richard Lugar, noted that Congress appropriated $18.4 billion a year ago this week for reconstruction. No more than $1 billion has been spent. "This is the incompetence in the administration," Lugar, R-Ind., said on ABC's "This Week."

"We made serious mistakes right after the initial successes by not having enough troops on the ground, by allowing the looting, by not securing the borders," McCain said. "Airstrikes don't do it; artillery doesn't do it. Boots on the ground do it," McCain told "Fox News Sunday." Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said Bush had pointed out from the beginning the risks of combat in Iraq.
