"Dasshole and Pooliske are giving the response."

I thought they already gave the pre-BUTTal. You mean we have to hear from them again. I guess that's what the 'off' switch is for.

[MEG33]

Thanks for the ping!

[Howlin]

Tet, I'm looking forward to SATURDAY NIGHT......LOL.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Me too! I had dinner a bit early, so I could be present and accounted for among the FReepers. :)

[Howlin]

We need to stop listening to "them," too!

[Howlin]

Hiya, girl friend!

[tapatio]

Good evening everyone! Are there any seats left?

[hoosiermama]

Same here! I'm ready! It can begin any time.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Yup! That's cool blue crusty ;^)

[hole_n_one]

C-Span needs Madden with his telestrator......

[StoneColdGOP]

No disagreement with George W. Gumby welcome here, eh?

[BigSkyFreeper]

We'll tear down a wall to get everyone in here if we have to. LOL

[A Citizen Reporter]

I must say that I have to credit FR for lowering my blood pressure. What would I do without LIVE THREADS! LOL!

To the extent there has been any hesitation at all by Bush and Rove in their hard run to the left it is due to the influence of so-called "unappeasables" who voted for him in 2000 but who are expressing grave reservations about doing so again. We are his conscience, that nagging voice that demands accountability.

The simpering, fawning, kowtowing excuse-all sycophants who hang on his every word and call for the heads of his conservative critics--they are the real danger both to his presidency and to this nation. They demand no accountability whatsoever and are content to allow him to distribute breezy platitides to chew on rather than give them the meat of responsible self-government.

I personally like Bush a great deal. He's a wonderful, caring, capable, and decisive man. But he has been ill-served by his legion of blind-worship fans. It is my fondest desire that he be marked in history as one of our great presidents. Unfortunately he has just about squandered his best chances to reach even the second tier.

We "unappeasables" are Bush's best and most loyal friends--because we're willing to tell him his breath stinks and his fly is undone while all his swooning fans bat their eyelashes and beg to be allowed to kiss his Texas boots.

[MEG33]

LOL!

In my opinion, a lot of Bush-lovers here love Bush because he has supported THEIR conservative values: helping big businesses get bigger, slave-labor illegals, allowing jobs to leave to overseas. Some of the Bush supporters here might feel a little different if they weren't living so high on the hog; wondering if your job is about to get taken by an illegal or moved overseas might change your tune. I guess, to some here, our degenerating morality and swelling federal government spending doesn't seem all that bad as long as Bush is keeping them on the gravy-train. I am concerned by this speech tonight for how many MORE dollars he's going to steal out of my wages so he can claim to be "compassionate". I think this concern has a value on this thread, along side the one's who think Bush can do no wrong.

[tapatio]

I appreciate that. LOL!

[Wait4Truth]

I'm looking forward to Dennis's show. He has more smarts than some here, don't you think?

[Petronski]

Sounds like an opus.

[Howlin]

This is a live event thread; I'm sure if you look real hard, you can find about two thousand threads to bash George W. Bush on.

We're going to discuss the event; you can continue to spout off how much you hate him.
