Evaluation of the policies of George W. Bush and his Republican conservatives on America.
What is at Stake!
Published on November 3, 2004 By COL Gene In Politics
The morning after seems to indicate George W. Bush has been re-elected President. Although it may be possible for Senator Kerry to win the popular vote in Ohio and win the Electoral College, it is an uphill battle. It is essential however, to complete the count in Ohio and settle the issue before George W. declares victory!

If, after the votes are counted in Ohio and if that confirms that George W. has won, he needs to begin working on bringing America together. This is something, even he admitted, that he failed to accomplish during the past four years.

The President must move toward the political center. He needs to truly compermise and show he is President of ALL Americans not just continue with policies that only please the conservatives. If he does not adopt policies that meet some of the needs of moderates and liberals, he will continue the bitter split that is destroying our country.

George W. Bush would do well to look at what Abraham Lincoln said in 1858, "The House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand"

That quote is kinda ironic given Lincoln quoted the bible, or more specifically Jesus. So is Bush to move more to the centre or more to the right and follow the words of Jesus?

If Bush wants to follow Jesus, he MUST move toward the center. Time and time again, Jesus told us to love others as yourself. Turning your back on those who need help does not follow the Commandment of Jesus given to ALL Christians, including George W.and his conservative cohorts. He would do well to read, St Luke Chapter 16, verses 20 to 31. That is the one where the rich man and Lazarus, the beggar died. The rich man went to Hell and asked Father Abraham to first send Lazarus to dip his finger in water to cool the rich mans tongue. When Abraham refused the rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus to his brothers to save them. Abraham again refused saying they had the law of Moses to save them. George W. and the other conservatives would do well to review this passage!

Bush tried uniting the country, but the likes of Kennedy, Gore, Clinton, et. al. lied and demigogged him. While many say that Bush was the divider, the truth is the democrats did all the dividing.

And Bush should stay the course. When he did try to move to the center he was still pilloried by the likes of those who demanded he do so. In effect, he owes the left nothing, and the left owes America a big appology for all the lies and hysteria they created.

BTW: The race is Ohio is over. There are only 135k provisional votes, and Bush's lead is 145K. SO even if all the provisionals were valid (unlikely) and all were for kerry (even more unlikely), he would still lose.

Again, Jesus, please save me from your followers.

demigogged


I know this isn't spelled correctly, but can "demagogue" even be used as a verb? Hmmm...*ponders*

There is no way for Kerry to carry Ohio! GW has a 136000 vote lead. According to Ohio Election officals there are only 150000 Provisional ballots. That would mean that 100% of the PB's would have to be valid and that Kerry would have to carry over 3/4 of them. Ain't happening.

One of the great things about America: Hope springs eternal.

Let COL have a chance to come down gently. It won't hurt us.

Bush NEVER tired to compermise and move to the center. Everything he and the conservatives have done was what one faction wants. Stay the course is just what Bush will do and the country will suffer and remain divided. Bush lacks the wisdom of someone like Linclon. He is arrogant and self serving.

The truth is that most of the people who voted for him will be harmed by his policies. The debt, lack of jobs, energy policy. etc all work aginst the average person- Republican and Democrat alike!

I pray Bush will put into place the teachings of Jesus, who he professes to turn to for help!

The notion that a specific individual is responsible for the (perceived) divide is overblown. in my opinion.

Assuming the nation is as divided as the left, including COL Gene, believes, they won't accept that the people made up their own minds and simply are what they are. They haven't been manipulated like sheep, brainwashed or otherwise duped. Maintaining the fiction that Bush is the Divider is just tactics mixed with a little wounded pride.

Bush is a Divider because he failes to meet the needs of anyone that does not agree with him and his associates. He was not elected to be President of the conservatives but All Americans . That includes the moderates (like myself) and the Liberals as well as the conservatives.

You're right. I'd forgotten the way Clinton & Carter ministered to all us conservatives & made sure our needs were met.

Sheesh.

Clinton was a lot closer to the center than Bush.
