Well, Brother Mike, this Independent will cast his vote for Dubya one mo' 'gain.

In for a penny, in for a pound here...

[Ophiucus]

I find it absolutely fascinating that people on a conservative forum strongly advocate governmental interference in a personal/religious issue

I strongly agree. That is the antithesis of conservatism.

[Jorge]

The second half of his speech was the speech of a flawed politician seeking to pander to powerful interest groups in echange for money, votes, and transient accolades.

I'm surprised that Bush would stoop to politics. Shocked!

[GRRRRR]

Gosh...I don't know what to say...

[Texasforever]

Are you calling me a liar a'hole

Was I too subtle?

[mlbford2]

Sorry to hear that. I stand corrected.

[NYC Republican]

Rush played the worst show I had ever seen (till that point). I was a HUGE Rush fan until I saw them in the late 80s in Nassau Colesium - horrible. Very disappointing.

[LisaMalia]

Demo rebuttle coming up.

Great! I'm ready for some comic relief!

President Bush has my vote. He may not be perfect, (what politician is?) but he has character, integrity and heart.

[ElCapitanAmerica]

He didn't mention lunar base or Mars?!?! :-(

This is going to be another initiative that goes nowhere, hey, maybe we can just outsource the work to China!

[honeygrl]

i don't ge why shep smith (who i love) is on my local fox channel (atlanta) and brit hume is on FNC.

[BenLurkin]

WE DON'T WANT MORE NEW GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS!

We have got to keep driving that message home until the rat commentators can't pretend to not know it anymore.

Not all that surprising, considering some of these folks have no problem with the gummint looking over your shoulder as you surf the Web, just to make sure you aren't seein' somethin' you oughtn't.

[clamper1797]

Or are you questioning that I got any pleasure out of it ... if it's that ... then you would be right I did NOT get any pleasure out of it ... and I take back the a'hole comment ...

[Not A Snowbird]

Well, I'd love to stick around for Little Tommy's response, but I'm pretty sure the cats' litter boxes need to be scooped. Must keep the Viking Kitties' living area clean!

Thanks for pinging me to this truly fun thread!

[MEG33]

Yes!Great speech!

[dagnabbit]

Not really. At best it's a very limited form of mini-amnesty.

What are its numeric limits?

[cyncooper]

Well, he was being interviewed by Brokaw. I switched the channel.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"We need a post-debate discussion thread.......please!"

We do? Let me guess, now Lil' Tommie Daschle will appear with a speech that's been written and re-written, practiced and re-practiced (in front of the cameras) and then he will "hand-off" to Pelosi! ICK.

Oh Goodie, Bill Kristol just characterized it as a "fairly agressive speech." What would I do without Billy's milktoast analysis....LOL!

[mhking]

NBC is letting Kerry rip the speech..

Figures. They're gonna let Kerry deliver an additional "Democratic response"....

[xrp]

I don't support these spending programs but the government has supported marriage for thousands of years through its laws and to do otherwise would be anti-human.

Please provide documentation of this.
