Wrong for supporting Feedom restricting laws.

Answer 1

For the first statement: What alternative did I have ?
For the second : For oil and capturing a dictator.
For third: To thawart any repeat of 911

Answer 2

Look, the fact is just because me and bush or bush and anyone else belong to the same party doesnt mean we agree on EVERYTHING. You seem to think that if you say the same thing over and over again you'll get the president fired or something. Look this is not your little minimum wage job where you can get someone fired just by complaining a little or having all your friends complain. As for the wrong vote for bush, whether we voted for bush or not I still think he wouldve won.

Answer 3

Though I don’t consider myself a conservative on many political issues, I have encountered many conservatives who have the humility to acquiesce that the Iraq War was misguided, and that it is currently being mismanaged. I have seen many of them, even in the most acerbic conservative talk shows, wish they could rescind their vote for Bush, and I see many conservatives, even normally vehemently loyal talk show conservative pundits, lament over the infringement of American civil liberties.

Its unfortunate that conservatives who are the most vocal and high profile, such as Ann Coulter, give the impression that all conservatives are dogmatic and refuse to capitulate on anything. When you talk to the rank and file conservative people, you see a more diverse and tempered view, that acknowledges the failings of this administration, and they readily profess their shame at being associated with Bush. I applaud these people for their integrity and their candor.

Answer 4

I will say that the legislation that basically smashed Habeaus Corpus made me very sad and confused. I thought Conservitism was about less government and responsibility. It seems as though the government now has no faith in it's people or intelligence agency's. But i believe the war in Iraq was necessary for fighting the war on radical islam. And I believe that Bush has done well in addressing the issue of radical Islam and the threat it poses to the world and the west.

Answer 5

Because one hates and despises President Bush does not make those who voted for him wrong. "Freethinkers" and THE TRUTH people hate Bush because the people of Iraq are free from the tyrant Saddam, and his evil ways. And no one , not one person can name one freedom that any American has lost. These so-called "TRUTHERS" (hint) and FREETHINKERS have to lie, make-up conspiracy theories, and believe propaganda rather than truth. A republican will admit when they are wrong, but fighting terrorism, removing the evil Saddam, and protecting Americans rights is not wrong.

Answer 6

I stand by my vote on bush..... TWICE. He's a much better option in my opinion than Al gore and John Kerry. Maybe the democrats should ask themselves why they put up two dud candidates back to back? If bush is so bad and so dumb why was he able to beat the democrat candidates twice? What does that say about you and your people.

I stand by the decision to go into Iraq. I'm not going to get into it but all i can say is that democrats supported the war too along with the previous administration.

Last, what freedoms have been taken away from you aside from liberal policies that prevent you and me from smoking in bars?

Answer 7

When I find something that I am wrong about, I will admit it. I was NOT wrong for voting for Bush...twice; I am NOT wrong to think that without safety, there is no freedom and I haven't noticed any of my freedoms being restricted by the government, and even the Democrats support the war in Iraq before it became chic not to. Really, have you ever heard a liberal Democrat admit s/he was wrong? But I will admit it when I come across something that I was wrong about. Oh...wait....I was wrong to go to the public schools to teach. How's that?

Answer 8

I will admit I was wrong about thinking we can all live in peace and harmony. I suppose you want a pedophile president that is led around by his pen*s; cause that's what you had. I don't agree with Bush's domestic policy about letting illegal criminals have a chance to enter into the country legally. I don't agree with the Free Trade that has broken our backs, but then that started with Carter (he was a liberal by the way) but I do agree with giving our troops one more try and helping an embattled nation. Did you know that Clinton (Cliton B, not A) wants the US to pull out of Baghdad, surround the city and let 6 million people kill each other. Yeah, sing their praises loud.

Answer 9

You would have had them vote for Gore?

The jury is out on Iraq. Let's not forget it was widely accepted by the UN that Iraq had WMDs, hence the sanctions which he ignored.

Loss of freedom? What loss? Many media portray the monitoring of phone calls as a "domestic" program. This is not true. Only calls to and from terrorist infested countries are monitored. Personally, I'm not commiting any crime so if the government wants to listen to my friend and I discuss the problems of the world for 3 hours - welcome to it.

Answer 10

I voted for Bush twice because Al Gore is a liar, and John Carey is a con man who hates America.

Iraq was financing Homicidal Bombers attack Israeli civilians with Oil for Food Funds. Hussein was committing genocide. Also, Hussein acts that he had WMD.

911 cause us to enact those laws because of hate mongers of Islam .

Please admit your mistake.
