With GOP Congress behind him, Bush has yet to use veto

I somewhat think this is Bush's greatest weakness, (if he has any weaknesses at all), is his need to be nice to the Dems (while squashing them like a bug).

BUMPING FOR BUSH!

Clever. I haven't heard such a witty rejoinder since I overheard my 11 and 12 year-old cousins arguing over the superiority of Pokemon vs. Yu-Gi-Oh. Seriously, your debate tactics are the adult equivalent of "Shut up! You're stupid!" and "I know you are, but what am I?"

Welcome to FreeRepublic. Thanks for the post, and you're 100% right and a true Principled Conservative, unlike the poster you responded to above. Hang in there, because if intelligent debate was what you were expecting from some here, it'll never get above the 12 year old level. Learn to ignore! Blackbird.

Bush's greatest weakness

Bush promised to retsore honor and dignity to the White House, and he has.

He never mentioned principle......the lack of which is his great weakness.

I for one happen to agree with Tim and I have been around for a lot longer than you and have seen the change take place that he speaks of.

bump to post #5. Welcome to FR

The article correctly states that Bush has very effectively used the veto THREAT to get bill to his desk that he WILL sign.

"The president cannot say, as he has many times, that ‘I'm going to tell Congress to enforce some spending discipline' and then not veto bills," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said.

I see McCain had to get his measley 2 cents in. I wonder if he thinks he has a chance for the GOP nomination in 2004, lol !

Squirrel of the Month

John McCain

After being asked, repeatedly, to make Senator John McCain our squirrel of the month; We, here at the Global Squirrel Network have looked into the matter and decided:

1) He does seem to have the ability to draw people to him . . . as do squirrels.

2) He also possesses the unique ability to make bitter enemies of neighbors . . . Just like squirrels!

3) He has suffered inhumane treatment at the hands of humans, giving him a most personal insight into the lives of everyday squirrels.

4) And finally, he does look like us. For example, the photo, at left, is certainly the face of a squirrel, fiercely protecting his nuts.

Thank you folks for kind welcome. It is nice to see that there are some people who do not automatically assume I am some kind of troll!

Do you have any clue as to how hard it is to pass a constitutional ammendment? If he spend all his time for the next 5 years trying to pass it, he'd only have a 50% chance at best. I'd rather him do more important things with a greater chance of success.

I'm glad you agree with Tim...the anti-Bush all the time crowd needs friends.

[RJCogburn]

Back from the "Day in the Life" thread, I see.

Welcome back!!

[CWOJackson]

Of course. I wanted to see what the Bush Basher's Club flavor of the day is. I see it's Nachos Grande topped with sour grapes.

[redangus]

Just like He can do know wrong as far as you Bushbots are concerned. You remind me a lot of the Clintonoids of the past, our guy right or uh he is always right. I suspect that many of you were loyal Dems for years until Clinton embarrassed you with his antics and to save some face you had to find someone to new to become totally infatuated with. The cult of personality is a marvelous thing to observe regardless of who it is aimed at. It requires no thought, no intelligence just blind devotion to the object of your affection.

"It requires no thought, no intelligence just blind devotion to the object of your affection."

Then perhaps you should stop contemplating your posterior so diligently. It might improve your outlook on life.
