    Thanks for the kind remarks, and the sentiments are mutual, my friend. BTW, look for me at Dover next week. [​IMG]

    Now...

    Bush vs. Clinton on education: "No Child Left Behind" is far more than Clinton did both in terms of dollars and in terms of federal control over local education.

    On spending: Bush has wildly outspent Clinton, no comparison. Even without the needless and expensive "war" in Iraq.

    On the deficit: Clinton left us with a surplus (if you accept the phony bipartisan accounting that includes the theft of our social security funds), and Bush has given us massive, huge deficits (using the same accounting).

    On abortion: roughly a tie. No abortions are illegal today that weren't when Clinton left office. A few token gestures by Bush to sucker folks out of votes, but no babies saved.

    On taxes: Bush made "cuts", but with the spending he has pushed for they are simply loans that will have to be paid back with interest, along with huge debt that will be paid for by the Bush family...er..no, I mean the taxpayers.

    I don't have time to go on, but these are the high points.

    Not a bit. It's kind of like the ants I see crawling around my bathroom in the morning, a minor summer irritation that will disappear this winter. :D

    Any attack on any person's individual liberties in these United States is a personal attack on me. </font>[/QUOTE]Well could you be specific?

    I know the Terrorists attacked the US on 9/11, I've seen the evidence, but what I do not know is that Individual liberties have been trampled because I have not seen the specific evidence nor has anyone gone to jail that I know of for these crimes! :eek:

    Peroutka was in the Wahsington Times twice before announcing his campaign, he has also been on FoxNews.com and intervied on a Fox News television affiliate, on many other political news sites and has been interviewd on many radio stations around the country. Peroutka doesn't have the publicity that Bush and Kerry do because he doesn't have the millions that they have. </font>[/QUOTE]Well We should count our blessings over that! :D

    I don't think anyone on this list has proven that M. Peroutka is a Godly Candidate!

    That just really irritates those who are dedicated to Bush. </font>[/QUOTE]Doesn't bother us at all. Peroutka gets the Radical Conservative Votes, Nader gets the Radical Liberal Votes and Bush and Kerry slug it out in the Middle. Seems fair to us. :D

    I hope so, I'm better off now than I've been in years. Low Taxes and a Growing Economy.

    Plus I'm pretty well satisfied with Bush's appointments to the Federal Bench. He just picked a Missouri Southern Baptist to serve as a Federal Judge.

    Not only that - I'm happy with his position on Guns and I'm thrilled with his position on Terrorism.

    That seems to be a pretty harsh statement!

    I don't think anyone can prove that anyone else is godly, we just have to pray about the issue and let the Holy Spirit lead.

    I have spoken with Michael Peroutka on the phone a few times and, as I stated on a previous post, spent many hours in prayer about supporting him. I am confident that I am doing as the Holy Spirit is leading me, and I am confident that Michael Peroutka is a Bible believing, born-again Christian, and both a godly man and a godly candidate.

    </font>[/QUOTE]Every supporter of Peroutka on this list has doubted the Christianity of George W. Bush so I don't think the accusation of that being a harsh statement holds water.

    If you want to vote for Peroutka, then by all means go into the voting booth and pull the lever for Mr. Peroutka. I will give my life for your right to do exactly that.

    I don't believe that I have ever doubted George W. Bush's Christianity, although I have doubted the Christianity of some of his policies and some of his actions.

    But I thought that was the way we knew - by examining the fruit.

    You and I both do un-Christian acts, but that doesn't mean we are not Christians. Bush has done MANY un-Christian acts, but his Christianity is between him and God.

    Could you please show us the specific evidence that you have seen that would convict the terrorists in a real court of law. I have not seen this evidence.

    Was there anyone foolish enough to really believe that the suspension of Constitutional rights under the Patriot act was going to be applied only to terrorists?

    The administration has specifically denounced attempts to prevent it from being used against American citizens unless they can be shown to be terrorists.

    Ultimately, it's the act of a government that fears its own people.

    God help us.

    "Historically, conservatism in the United States has meant support for small government, balanced budgets, fiscal prudence and great skepticism about overseas adventures," notes Clyde Prestowitz, a former Reagan Administration official who back in the 1960s was among the young Republicans supporting Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, a conservative standard-bearer. "What I see now is an Administration that's not for any of these things."

    That's what I always thought it meant to be conservative.

    Now I guess it's a Bush/Rush/Hannity lovefest.

    OOPs, sorry, I forgot that it's upatriotic to speak your mind in America today. All these new rules get me confused sometimes. Guess I haven't learned political correctness yet.

    Hope those black helicopters aren't fitted with the ground penetrating radar like the NYS police helicopters are.

    They can look right through your walls (nice crisp picture too) or into your car! But I guess that's freedom.

    That just really irritates those who are dedicated to Bush. </font>[/QUOTE]Actually, as I said, "Good for him." I am glad to see him getting a little pub. As I have often said, if he were a serious candidate, I would seriously consider voting for him. I would like to have a legitimate option. I hope he keeps getting the press. I have never seen any major news story about Peroutka other than this one.
