LOL that's one item of many. thing in that regard is we send money to them to use on AIDS, with no oversight. Do you really think it goes to AIDS? No. It's just buying votes. Besides, we have our own problems and shouldn't be spending money on such things when our budget is in the red.
That article is all kinds of stupid. Just because NAFTA was ushered in by Clinton doesn't make it a liberal act. The greater majority of all Republicans supported NAFTA as well.
Bush's support for NAFTA is also something I highly doubt you hold against him. I'm still waiting for you to give specific reasons why you have arrived at the conclusion Bush was a RINO, because I'm willing to bet his support for NAFTA isn't one of them.
OK so here's the list of reasons why you think Bush is a RINO that I've compiled so far:
1) He wasted money giving Africa AIDS relief
2) He supported NAFTA, a free trade agreement that falls in line with Conservative ideals
Solid start tbh.
Cherry pick all you want. they are not the only items. I'm even on record as being OK with NAFTA, because it is in out best interest to help our bordering nations. However, NAFTA became other free trade agreements that I am in complete opposition of.
He is a liberal in illegal immigration. Funny how he had 44% of the Hispanic vote in 2000, but after talking about things like amnesty, he only captured 25% of the Hispanic vote in 2004.
Legal voting Hispanics don't want the illegals hurting our economics any more than us conservatives do.
I'm done with you since you are ignoring other items in those two threads, like the consolidation of government agencies, illegal immigration, and other items.
free trade is a conservative ideology.
I really don't think Bush's immigration stance makes him a RINO when he was as conservative as it gets with the economy, social issues, and foreign policy.
Yet NAFTA is not free trade or conservative despite its name... NAFTA is special interest-managed trade, tbh...
at Bush being conservative on the economy or foreign policy...
TARP was not conservative... over $1 trillion spent on bailouts was not conservative... wiretapping was not conservative... starting an expensive war based on non-existent WMDs was not conservative... I could go on...
Being in bed with the banks is pretty conservative
At this point spending on bailouts is something liberals and conservatives both love to do.
It sure as isn't liberal. The neo-conservative politicians are the ones who always campaign to sacrifice civil liberties in order to stop the Islamic boogeyman.
Again, it sure as isn't liberal. The conservative politicians are the ones who always campaign to start wars and are always the ones to fear monger.
Ron Paul supporters in denial about what a modern-day conservative is
My point is that so-called "modern-day conservatives" aren't actually conservative at all and don't know what the word means, B...
They redefined what it means.
Sorry that you're heart broken about the fact your political party is controlled by war-mongering, deficit-spending bible beaters.
The way your vigorously defending the honor of what it means to be a conservative, methinks you do care.
I'm a libertarian conservative, doesn't mean I have to be in the GOP, B...
Oh neat we have another Wild Cobra on our hands.
No, the Gods they broke the mold when they made me.
I'm sure Clipper Nation feels the same way about himself.
