George's base not taking kindly to marriage tinkering

[grasswire]

The freepers are not happy spending a billion dollars to convince people to get married. Looks as if Karl has laid another big egg.

+++Stop It, George! Stop It Right Damn NOW!

+++Money down the toilet, IMO. Another boondoggle.

+++Last election was the first time I voted in a presidential race, and I voted for Harry Browne. I experienced voter's remorse the day after the election (ironic when you consider Browne's "no regrets" slogan.) The Florida debacle made me much more partisan than I had been. I became convinced that it was automatic that I would be voting for GWB next time around. I looked forward to it. Once I was willing to accept them, the arguments for voting for the GOP made sense to me. I became the devil's advocate FOR the GOP, rather than against it. But I have to tell you, this type of spending is the sort of thing that makes me think I won't vote for GWB in 2004. I know, if I throw my vote away, then a Democrat wins and they will be worse. Well, what we have right now is plenty bad enough. If it takes making it worse to somehow inject some semblance of fiscal conservatism into the GOP, then maybe that's what we need to do. In the long run this stuff has GOT to stop. I am so freaking mad about this that not only am I considering withholding my vote, but I am damn near ready to actively protest this Administration's insane spending habits.
When it comes to fiscal conservatism and limited government, this Administration is a disgrace. 1.5 billion to teach poor morons how to be nice to each other. BAAAAAAARRRRRRFFFFF!!!!!!!!!

+++Pretty soon, the feds will send someone out to hold my hand when I cross the street.

+++So this is what it was like when Rome fell. What we are witnessing is truly historic.

+++It's not the president's job to promote marriage. Aside from that, the institution of marriage has been gutted like a trout by no-fault divorce laws. Increasing the number of marriages in this environment will just expand the scope and power of the lawyers and divorce courts.

+++And who decides what a "healthy marriage" is? Seems to me we are very close to having gay marriage nationally. Well then, are we going to spend billions to teach faggots how to get along better?

1. Wait till they realize it's based on Moon's marriage programs.

They encourage women to marry out of social responsibility, not love.

3. veddddddddddy interesting

This could be an opening to expose the Bush-Moon connection, if the Dems had ANY strategic thinkers.

4. Maybe the Billion dollars is for one huge Moonie mass marriage

At Texas Stadium. Halliburton is catering. Orrin Hatch is supplying the music. They're registered at Wal-Mart, if anybody's interested.

6. People who support Bush are like people who support Osama bin Laden.

They don't really care that their beloved leader has murdered thousands of innocent civilians. And frankly, I don't give a shit what they think.

7. Some of them are actually calling Bush a liberal

Shocking.

11. from an email

"If the United States Government finds it necessary to promote marriage, this then prima facie evidence that religion has failed."
