And thanks for that - only the second smile I've had recently.

I got called a Bushbot again yesterday - its happening more and more. Now this particular person wants machine gun nests set up at the border to kill anyone who crosses and he sees all foreign trade as evil and thinks the President is trying to end U.S. sovereignty and when he calls me a Freeper he means it as a bad thing... So I'm not too worried about his opinion but it got me thinking...
In a lot of ways I'm more conservative than President Bush - I don't think he places enough importance on controlling spending, border security or dealing with existing illegals. I don't think he has vetoed as much as he should have.
Sometimes I differ on what the President thinks is conservative, for example with evolution or privacy - I'm big on science, individual rights and limits on government.
In some areas, like holding the country together after 9/11 and dealing with Afghanistan, judicial appointments, trade and opposing abortion Presient Bush has done a great job - not perfect but no President is perfect.
I don't think we went into Iraq at the right time in the right way. I don't bring this up much because we are at war now - there is nothing to be gained by complaining about how we went into Iraq - we are there and it needs to be a national effort to see the job through, support our troops and leave a stable Iraq that isn't a threat.
I'm starting to think that a Bushbot is a conservative who, even though he sometimes disagrees with the President continues to support our commander in chief in time of war and who is darn glad he's the President instead of Kerry.
I guess there are worse things to be called.
That's a Patsie. If he/she begs you for money to fix the problem, that's a Keyster (Alan Keyes supporter).
Oh, my bad then.
Just managing the containers, not the actual ships.
Gee, Where's the problem with that?
Wideawake >>Bushbot is what Teddy Rooselvelt would have called a weael {weasal} word - a meaningless word meant to suck the meaning out of the words surrounding it.<<
That's pretty close to my gut reaction on how the word is often used but I wanted to hear from other Freepers.
Me: "Now this particular person wants machine gun nests set up at the border to kill anyone who crosses and he sees all foreign trade as evil and thinks the President is trying to end U.S. sovereignty"
My2Cents: "You've been talking to Pat Buchanan?"
Thanks for that - first smile I've had since I started thinking about this. But, no it was an ex-Freeper.
And thanks for that - only the second smile I've had recently.
This should be an entertaining thread.
Loew's has a similar device with a different name but it runs off
electricity and can foul it's own cord, I don't recommend it.

Trisham: My impression is that the Left defines a "Bushbot" as anyone who doesn't believe that President Bush should be impeached and sentenced to life behind bars.

I realize now when I posted the vanity I only considered conservative usage - but you are right - its used all the time by liberals too.
A Bushbot is someone who's right 90% of the time. Not bad, IMHO.
"Ex-Freeper.' Another term for an obnoxious Patsie troll.
You might be a moron if thought that there ever was a chance that Arabs were ever going to control US ports, and if you bought into the MSM's idiotic hysteria over nothing.
A little infighting or disagreements among Republicans is one that distinguishes us from the other party.
Come Nov. I'd be voting one time (straight party) but I've got to figure out who to write-in or dial-in for Tom Delay.

A Bushbot is a mythical creature who dwells on the internet, has poor sleep habits, bad breath, is socially objectionable, lacks originality or insight. He is characterized by slavish admiration for all things W and willingly believes and ratifies the fruits of the Cheney-Rove-Libby cabal.
Bushbots are the creation of people who fail to understand that politics is the art of the possible, or that close battles are won on the margins. They cannot comprehend that character counts more than glibness; that smooth words more often conceal evil than reveal virtue.
Name-calling.... That doesn't make up for your lack of intelligence.
Did I hit a nerve or something? Geezzzz
