A pompous, ego centric blowhard that has no vision or foresight.
Knowing the American people, I am afraid he is a cinch for POTUS.
What can I say about a state that voted for Bush FOUR times?
Boo Hoo.
Be careful what you wish for.
I very much admired both Ann Richards and Molly Ivins.
But the Texans on this board still allowed their state to be gerrymandered by DeLay and the Texas Legislature, too.
If it is incompetence, it rivals the Bush Admin and Katrina.
Were not supposed to ingest massive quantities of mind altering drugs.
Well, then again, Romney's boys out campaigning for him is the same as three tours on the firing line in Iraq...
Something that Bush is too gutless to do.
No wonder Neo-cons did not want Ahmadinejad to have a chance on the American public stage.
Don't lock yourself in to a policy.
Things could change for the worse.
And Bush will do everything to see that it will.
Is that, while you, and the polls, are probably correct that most Americans want things like a smaller world-wide military presence, the Americans who go to the polls and VOTE a) want something else entirely, or b) do not pay attention to what they are really voting for.
I knew in 2000 and 2004 that Bush would be a disaster because that was his record.
But the neocons and religious right turned out to vote.
And the lies and fearmongering really did work, so enough independents gave into their fears. Just like the Dem Congress gives into their fears today.
I hate them, but I gotta give credit to the GOP political machine.
They are masters at playing Americans for morons.
And the Dems are totally incompetent at this game.
And incendently, as well and accurately as you write, more people know about which college quaterbacks are injured this week than ANY of the issues you raise.
For the same class of car a Toyota or Honda costs MORE than the equivalent Detroit made car. Yet, the Toyota or Honda will outsell the Big 3 car. Think Camry.
So, how is that labor's fault? How is that the union's fault?
perhaps I might take a few moments to LEARN and PRACTICE the names and countries I am supposedly leading. Supposedly, I have language experts at my disposal.
I might take some time PRACTICING instead of, say, thinking reasons to veto the health insurance for little kids, or ways I might destroy the Constitution of the US.
After all, I am the POTUS, not some schmoe addressing some hick meeting.
But then, I imagine those defending Bush are the same ones who think that being personable enough for them to have a beer with is a more desireable quality than having the brains to actually formulate and execute policy that works.
The GOP Congress impeached Clinton, even when they did not have the votes to remove him from office. And they KNEW it.
But they did it to bring the issue to the fore, and because of this was in a position to take the 2000 elections. No Clinton impeachment, no POTUS Bush.
The Dems don't have the brains to frame the issues, nor the guts to press the advantage of their majority. Cheezz, they can't even frame health insurance for sick kids, or time off for stressed military families. All they had to do for that was bring a few recipients of the GOP compassion on TV. The GOP even got the Dems to censure MoveOn for the Gen Betray-us thing.
The Dems are even less competent than Bush. Period.
Nah. To hate someone, you have to respect them.
Why should I hate a lying, immoral enabler?
Congress should send the same bill to Bush 40 days in the row.
If they did that, PERHAPS I would not think them gutless as well has incompetent.
If you have to depend on other people for your happiness, then you are in for a LOT of disappointments.
And in MY family, weddings are for families. And families have babies. (I do, however, quite understand how other people can have different opinions on this)
But if she was serious, the raise, or at least part of it would have been immediate.
But the boss is a liar. She is playing you for a fool, and winning.
Quit, and don't look back.
Would a normal person, knowing he sent thousands to their deaths, be "at peace" with himself?
I know I wouldn't, even if one person died to save millions. I would know it would have to be done, but I certainly wouldn't be "at peace" with myself.
A psycho, or a fanatic, on the other hand...
The courage gene just stopped at grandpa (who looks like a better president with each passing day).
But has more guts than all the Dem Senators combined.
That is just so, well, 19th century.
Today, we GOSSIP...much more interesting.
Any chance of the Log Cabin Republicans hosting a GOP debate?
Your retarded boy (Bush) and uour whole corrupt "Party of Personal Responsibility" spends money and passes the bill to my kid.
Talk about "revert to type".
You and your whole party are liars, corrupt and incompetent.
That Iraq veteran Brian McGough is too stupid to think for himself?
I can hardly believe that the Dems could be worse.
Trying for Stephen Colbert's job?
I had to apologize to the ADL for flaming them, as I missed their response on their front page.
I did point out that I did not see Mr Rush (Femnazi, Hitlery) Limbaugh on their list of castigated individuals. I scanned it twice, but I could have still missed it. I thought this odd, as Mr. Limbaugh has the largest audience of everyone mentioned.
Re: Children's healthcare veto:
"Whatever you do to the least of my bretheren, you do to Me."
- Some dead lib guy
That signed into law Federal funding of the Bridge to Nowhere and constructing a rainforest in Iowa.
NOW he decides to be fiscally conservative.
