Hey, Republicans? Thinking of Abandoning George W. Bush? Think Again!
by Recent polls show that many voters, Republicans and Democrats alike, are upset with the President. Indeed, his ratings have dipped to a surprising low. The only ratings lower than his are those of Congress, as it slowly dawns on disgusted Americans what they ushered in with their 2006 votes.
No one agrees with anyone all the time. Republicans can and should register disagreement with their President over issues about which they feel strongly. But to abandon Mr. Bush and other Republicans in the House and Senate now will only do more harm than good.
Let’s get reasonable. We can certainly recognize the fact that George Bush is a lame duck president, while throwing our support behind him and his policies with which we agree, most of which are morally, legally, and fiscally sound.
To do otherwise divides the Republican Party, leaves the door open for Democrats and liberals such as Harry Reid (D-NV) and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to inject their ill-advised brand of socialistic control over our government as they attempt to remake it in a manner never intended by the Founding Fathers and not at all to the liking of mainstream Americans, while destroying the traditional values that have made this country great.

This response is meant for Ed Roberts, who commented on September 25, but did not leave any way to respond.
Ed, while it’s true that Mr. Bush has driven away much of his base (primarily over his immigration policy), Republicans need to look at the big picture. What, exactly, will happen if the Democrats increase their majority in Congress, and should they capture the White House in 2008? All you need to do is look at their abysimal record since taking over Congress in 2006. They’ve spent more time, energy and taxpayer funds attacking Bush and Republicans, in an attempt to appeal to their left-wing base, than in trying to do what’s best for Americans. Most appalling to me is their failure to understand the war on terror; instead, their cut-and-run policy is all they’ve been able to come up with, and that’s not what Americans want or need.
Do you still think Mr. Bush “has totally ruined the war on terror”? If so, just try to imagine what you’d have if the Republicans in Congress had not thwarted some 64+ resolutions introduced by Democrats, to withdraw our troops. By now, we’d probably be fighting terrorists in the streets of LA, Chicago, and New York.
You claim you’re “a long-time Republican.” Well, what Republicans need now is a unfied stand against Democrats, and those who would dilute our resolve to do the right thing. Name calling is not the answer; hate is not the answer, either.
Thanks for your comment.
