Rightwords... Prudent Conservatism

Restarting the Second Term



Bush. Well, he made a good speech, and apparently recovered some ground. I still believe that he needs to give more details of how well we are doing, backed up by photos and on-site people.
He needs an all-court press right now. I do not understand why Bush let the Dems rant and rave all year without serious attempts to counter the deluge from the loony left.

Budget. Still a football, and Bush seems reluctant to make a fight on any of it.

Economy. Bush stepped out and took pride in the results for 2005 in the economy, and for good reason.

Illegal Immigrants. If you believe Michael Chirnoff, we are deploying more border guards, they are giving permission for local law men to capture and deport illegals, and they are working on extending the fence, as well as using DOD drones and some troops along the border. In other words, now they are beginning to do what I thought we should have done in 2000. I do not understand Bush's reluctance up to now to get control of the border.

Iraq. We used to get factual documentaries covering the war and the ensuing occupation period, but I have not seen this technique applied to Iraq in a positive manner. All sorts of good things are happening there, but we get the doomsday reporting of the MSM as a daily diet, or else some pipsqueek rolls over in Congress and says we are losing and should get out now! What a sorry bunch they are. No fortitude, no realism, and no common sense, just reelection blues.
There ought to be a solid and verifiable answer to the question: "How are we doing?" With pictures and testimonies, to shut these wishy-washy, so-called Legislators up. Ollie North does a good job of documenting what he can see in Iraq, and it is a very positive story. Lieberman saw some of the same good things, but the press did its best to minimize his exposure.

The Left. I challenge anyone to show me what good Kennedy or Pelosi, or Schummer, or especially Clinton, or any of the Leftist Gang in Congress are doing for the US in this time of war. They are still the heart of the Party of NO.
