Brownie Moment

By the looks of some freeper responses to the SCOTUS nomination today, I think some of us are having "Brownie Moments."

My "Brownie Moment" came when I realized that federal budget is completely out of whack. And, I don't think the President has any concrete plans to address that.

[Chi-townChief]

Somehow I just don't see myself voting for Hillary in '08, though.

[alisasny]

......and loses any and all faith in the president from that moment forward.....

So are you going to sit out future elections or vote for democrats? Curious Minds wish to know.

My "Brownie Moment" came

From what I have seen, Chertoff is the primary reason the FEMA response was slowed. Brownie was all over it.

So maybe a "Brownie Moment" should be defined as a situation where you buy the MSM spin on a story...

"Brownie Moment"

I would define the term as this: The moment in time when a democratic misinformation and factual distortion plan becomes so successful that an otherwise acceptable Republican appointed official is abandoned by the party leaders. See also: "borked"

My "Brownie Moment" was when the pro-illegal Gonzales was tapped to head DoJ.

[stuartcr]

My mantra for the last election....'neither nor in '04'

next election..'who ya gonna hate in '08?'

now that you know that NO was not as bad as Raging Nagin said, but that it kept many from sending help, what would you have done if you had been Brownie? Everyone who has been a volunteer and has gone some place that is less than the safest place in town know what it is like to have "older volunteers" at the mercy of young punks. Was Bush wrong when he said Brownie was doing a good job? If you had handled 150 disasters don't you think you might have been given more than 5 days to figure out the solutions to the biggest event in the last 50 years?

Me neither. Can't the Dems run someone who doesn't make my skin crawl.

No, I'm deeply disappointed in Bush. I really don't like the brazen cronyism, the cavalier attitude towards the deficit and his indifference to his base.

[DCPatriot]

Why didn't President Bush nominate her late Friday instead of 8:00 AM on Monday?

He dumb like a fox...I hope.

I can't believe he would purposely thumb his nose at the conservative base.

[Mad Dawgg]

"And, I don't think the President has any concrete plans to address that."

Wow, how profound. Now, for the real kicker, show us the part of the constitution that gives him the power to "fix" the budget.

[ARCADIA]

My "Brownie Moment" was when the pro-illegal Gonzales was tapped to head DoJ.

That's not really my issue, but that appt sure was a contradiction.

[ARCADIA]

Then why did he ask Brownie to resign, instead of backing up his subordinate. What you are suggesting is even worse!

[ARCADIA]

I can't believe he would purposely thumb his nose at the conservative base

Because he doesn't need them anymore, he can't run for reelection. I don't like what this says about the man.

[Forrestfire]

It's called a "Veto" in the constitution.

[Cyber Liberty]

I may do something I've never done before: Sit out the next election or five.

[ErnBatavia]

Well, personally every time I consider having a "Brownie Moment" I think of President John Francois Kerry and just kinda shudder it off...

[ARCADIA]

He can submit a more modest budget, or reluctantly agree to raise taxes. But, this requires making tough decisions, it's so much easier to let go on.

[Mad Dawgg]

"It's called a "Veto" in the constitution."

No, Vetos don't fix. The Congress can enact legislation (including budgets) without the President, on the other had the President can not do squat without the Congress.
