Bush is a genius

Let's see if I understand the Bush "strategy".

1. Lie to the American People. According to the Bush supporters President Bush is saying positive things and signing the bill even as he works behind the scenes to have the SCOTUS destroy the bill because he really hates the bill: By lying to the American people and pretending he likes the bill, he will convince more liberal voters to vote Republican this fall and then he can appoint more conservative judges. Although why the American voters would vote for the republicans because they are impressed by being lied to is beyond me.

2. Break his campaign promises. Of course Bush Senior pioneered this strategy with his "Read my lips: No New Taxes" remark. As I recall, Bush Senior won reelection in a landslide in 1992 keeping Clinton/Gore out of office. What's that you say? Clinton won? Well, maybe this time this strategy will work better.

3. Break his presidential oath to defend the Constitution. By doing this, Bush will show his support of principle- well, at least the principle of "the end justifies the means". Now where have I heard that phrase before?

4. Force conservative groups like the NRA, without whose support Bush would still be attending Texas Bar-B-Q's wearing a big hat, to spend millions trying to get a court to rule on this bill. And of course this money will not be spent on electing Republicans, but on lawyers and courts.

5. By removing the free speech of people for 60 days prior to elections, the solidly conservative press from CNN to the NY times will then be free to preach unopposed conservatism to the uneducated masses. (That Goldberg guy must be a nut to think the press has a liberal slant.)

6. Ignore the expressed wishes of the people who voted for him and over 2/3 of the Congressmen of his own party so that the liberal public will elect more conservative Congressmen (who will oppose the people's supposed wish for campaign finance reform). (Logic like that would have added at least 400 points to my SAT scores. Thank God we have intellectuals like Bush and his supporters to show us the way. Where was that pray for Bush web site again?)

So to summarize:

1. Lie to the American People

2.Break campaign promises.

3. Break his Constitutional oath.

4. Waste conservative groups money in court.

5. Allow the conservative press from CNN to the NY Times to have sole input for 2 months before the election.

6. Ignore the majority of his own party because they're all idiots anyway.

Did I leave anything out?

BUSH IS A GENIUS!

Where can I send my 2000 dollar hard-money check?

Bush is a genius!

[tupac]

Bush is already the best president in office this century, undisputed......since Reagan too....

[RAT Patrol]

The solidly conservative press?

[RAT Patrol]

Is that a joke?

[Clara Lou]

Blah, blah, blah. Another article by "self" about Bush.

[My2Cents]

As a strict constructionist/constitutionalist conservative, I have to point out that while Bush has reservations about what he sees as a flawed campaign finance reform bill, the executive is not the one who can decide the constitutionality of a piece of legislation sent to him for signing. That is the proper, constitutional, purview of the courts. They will review it. The republic is not in jeopardy.

Preach it, Brother Baxter!

And your alternative is? Join the real world. The choice is Bush (who's pretty dam*ed good) or the lying socialist Demoncrat gun-grabbing, thieves. Those are the choices. Deal with it.

Keep posting these hysterical rants. The more the anti-bushies talk the more folks see that Bush did the right thing.

They can't, that's gets in the way of their toilet seat political "realities".

CRAWFORD, Texas AP) - President Bush bypassed Senate confirmation procedures Friday and filled five government positions, putting the Republican National Committee's top lawyer on the Federal Election Commission. Bush also installed a Department of Education official who has been strongly opposed by civil rights and education groups for his stances on affirmative action and other issues.

Yes he is a genius.

George W. Bush

The Lincoln of our generation!

[don-o]

Yep -

Pretty well sums it up.

Just shut up and take it.

Say, used to be a Freeper with that name. Is he/she still about?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

[baxter999]

Actually, this is the only time in my years as a Freeper that I have ever done a vanity post. But I'm glad to know that you too think Bush is a genius.

Regards.

Of course, the irony is that when Bill Clinton made recess appointments people here called him a b******. Now Bush is a genius.

[Waco]

Never have so many been so stupid. X42 and her spouse proved that. Bush is still benefiting from that. Because he's smart enough to do so.

If someone starts from the premise that "Bush is a socialist", as you state on your home page, one's credibility is starting out under water.

Your vanity screed does nothing to re-float it, either.

I may not agree with Bush's actions relative to CFR. But I am able distinguish a conservative from a socialist.
