Did you read what I was responding to?

You are a classic example of the dichotomy in the republican party. On the one hand you have the fiscal conservatives (me) who are pro-immigration, pro-separation of church and state, and anti-government just in general. Then on the other there are people like you who are the social conservatives that are anti-immigration, pro-church, pro-life (anti-choice), and favor tax manipulation for anybody that adheres to their social ideals. The social conservative platform is anti-business and this is a real problem for republicans.

Here's some background on the Bushes from another SI thread from Rarebird......"OH Ron, tell me how Holy George Bush is. All I know is that my stock portfolio went up more under Clinton in 8
years than under the 12 years of Reagan/Bush combined. I know your moderate conservative, Ron, but Liberal
Capitalists, like Clinton/Gore, are committed to supporting higher equity prices. So, what's the problem here? You
don't like prosperity? Radical Liberals today are fiercely committed to Free Enterprise, Free Trade and Economic
Policies that Maintain "New Era" and ever expanding High Equity values So, again, what is the problem here? The
Democrats are even throwing at the American Public a Modern Orthodox Jew, who has a very liberal voting
record. Radical Liberals don't care what you believe in. Believe in whatever you want, Ron. Religion is like a pack
of Cigarettes. Some like Marlboro. Others smoke Salem. Some prefer Camels. I don't smoke, but my wife is a
Virginia Slims Girl. So, if you want a place to worship, Radical Liberals will build it for you. No Problem.
Whatever your heart's desire, Ron. Just Keep the "Moral Majority" out of the Equation.

You want some dirt on Bush. There is plenty of that around. Where do you want to start? OK, we'll start here:

For months now, George W. Bush has failed to deny allegations of cocaine use.(Not that it makes a difference to
me. Personally, I couldn't care less.) Asked directly, time and again, Bush has backed off from answering the
question. He admits to drinking heavily as a young man, but on cocaine, he has repeated a series of non-answers.
He has even said that he does not want to go into his past because that may give a young person an excuse to do
what Bush had done in his past. My logic training fills in the blanks of Bush's non-answer. To "Have you ever done
cocaine?" there are two possible answers: "Yes" and "No." Only one of these two answers fulfills the condition of
possibly giving a young person an excuse to engage in a variety of self-destructive behaviors like cocaine use, and
that is the "Yes" answer.

Maybe Bush did not snort the stuff, like Clinton did not inhale. <GGG>

Here is a sample of Bush's vaunted compassion. Former Texas land commissioner Gary Mauro ran head-on into
the Bush reelection campaign in 1998 as the Democratic nominee for governor of Texas. Outspent fifty to one,
Mauro's campaign was soundly defeated on election day. What disturbed Liberals here was Bush's Inhumanity. On
February 2, 1998, Bush's so called compassion bordered on the sadistic with the execution of convicted killer and
born-again Christian Karla Faye Tucker.
Bush knew that he was not going to reprieve Karla Faye Tucker. He could have told her that the day before. He
could have even told her a week before. But he waited until the six o'clock prime time news, knowing she was
strapped to a gurney still having hope about her life, and he grandstanded on her. Sure, the Supreme Court had the
final say in regard to that.

Bush went further when he joked about Karla Faye Tucker's desperate plea for life, which had been aired on Larry
King Live. During an interview with Talk Magazine, Bush mocked Karla Faye, whimpering "Please, don't kill me"
in an imitation of her voice. Compassion my Arse! Bush has none if he could have done that!

What kind of a conservative is George W. Bush, Ron? Conservatism typically involves respect for American
traditions of liberty and freedom, and given this, the Bush family is hardly conservative. At best, they can be
described as mercenary in their political alliances and fund-raising, and at worst, far to the right of mainstream
conservatism.

Prescott Bush, the father of the former President and the grandfather of the current candidate, spent more than a
decade helping his father-in-law George Herbert Walker finance Adolf Hitler from the Wall Street bank, Union
Banking Corporation. Walker was one of Hitler's most powerful supporters in the United States, and landed
Prescott Bush a job as a director at the firm. From 1924 to 1936, Bush's bank invested heavily in Nazi Germany,
selling $50 million of German bonds to American investors. In 1934, a congressional investigation believed that
Walker's Hamburg-America Line subsidized a wide range of pro-Nazi efforts in both Germany and the United
States. One of Walker's employees, Dan Harkins, delivered testimony to Congressional leaders regarding Walker's
Nazi sympathies and business transactions.

We know all about the Bush family heritage, Ron. Want more Dirt?

In the fall of 1988, Vice President Bush had to fire several neo-Nazis and anti-Semites from his Presidential
campaign. The scandal erupted when Washington Jewish Week and other media outlets discovered that the Bush
campaign harbored well known neo-Nazis, including Jerome Brentar, a holocaust revisionist who claims that the
Nazis never deliberately gassed victims of the Holocaust, and Akselis Mangulis, who was involved in the
SS-influenced Latvian Legion during World War II. George W. Bush, the campaign's hatchet man, fired the Nazis
slowly, so as to hide under the radar of the media. After the election, four of these came back to work for the
Republican Party according to USA Today.

Want more dirt, Ron? The Bush family has ties to other anti-democratic forces as well, including Rev. Yung Sun
Moon's Unification Church, also known as the "Moonies." In 1994, the elder Bush Sr. began courting the Moonies
to help finance his son's political future. Why the Moonies would support a so called "compassionate conservative"
is amazing, since the church detests the United States way of life that George W. Bush has pledged to defend.
"America has become the kingdom of individualism and its people are individualists. You must realize America has
become the kingdom of Satan," said Moon during one sermon in Tarrytown, New York on March 5th, 1995.
Moon also encourages a form of collectivism that most American conservatives would rightly balk at.

In September 1995 George and Barbara Bush gave six speeches for the Women's Federation for World Peace, a
front group led by Moon's wife Hak Ja Han Moon. In one speech to 50,000 Moon supporters, the elder George
Bush insisted that what really counts is "faith, family and friends." Hak Ja Han Moon followed the former President
to the podium and said it has to be "Reverend Moon to save the U.S., which is in decline because of the family and
moral decay.

Did you know, Ron that Moon donated one million dollars to the George Bush Presidential Library in Texas?

My point here in bringing out all this dirt is that there is plenty for special prosecuters to investigate in regard to
George Bush too, if they feel like it. Your candidate is certainly no greater Angel than Gore.

Come on Board the Gore/Lieberman team before it is to late. You want to influence these guys early on.

I'm under no illusions here and I am hoping for a Republican Congress. "

...............now who are you going to vote for?
