SpeedRacer 1 #1 September 17, 2004 See if you can define these Republican administration expressions, and give an example: "Compassionate Conservatism" "Winning Hearts & Minds" is there anything behind these terms, or are these just phrases the administration says occasionally to appeal to moderates?

Is "assault weapons ban" a term with anything behind it? Because it sure as hell did not ban anything, and they sure as hell weren't "assault weapons." Is this just a term that Democrats use to appeal to leftist pacifist statists? -Jeffrey --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Ok ok I didn't know who said it. I have done some research. It is a paraphase of: Sir Winston Churchill Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. or maybe If you're not a liberal by age 20, you don't have a heart. If you're not a conservative by age 40, you don't have a brain. -- P.J. O'Rourke I like mine better! What amazes me is that you will critique me but not correct me.

I saw what you wrote. We're not going to forget this." -George W. Bush to writer and editor Al Hunt, 1988 "I'm not going to talk about what I did as a child. What I am going to talk about -- and I am going to say this consistently -- [is that] it is irrelevant what I did 20 to 30 years ago. What's relevant is that I have learned from any mistakes I made. I do not want to send signals to anybody that what Gov. Bush did 30 years ago is cool to try." -Gov.

It was just bs political window dressing, that didn't do any good in the real world. But you answered my question with a question. Does that mean you believe that "compassionate conservatism" and "winning hearts and minds" is also just bs political window dressing? no one has answered my question yet.

It's hypocrisy, just like putting up Giuliani and Arnie at the RNC was hypocrisy. Moderate Republicans to attract swing voters when they know the candidate will simply pursue his right wing agenda if re-elected....

SpeedRacer 1 #15 September 27, 2004 OK so since no one can answer my question, lets throw it open to the right wingers on this forum. What do you think of "winning hearts & minds"? is international diplomacy at all important to you or not?
