Cherie [Blair] said Bush 'stole' power and tackled him on executions

Thank you for your words. I think you make a lot of sense. I happened to see FR thread on abortion based on an essay by Erica Jong, who I admire as a writer. She doesn't get it, but it was quite well-written and well-reasoned. I would have liked to discuss abortion on that thread, but it was a couple of days old and everyone on it was gone.

The great thing is Kerry campaigned for Clinton when his opponents were legitimate war heroes (Dole, Bush Sr. and Admiral Stockdale.) If McCain had won the Rep nomination, I guarantee you Kerry would have stumped for Gore.

After team Gore tried to disenfranchise military ballots in Fla, Kerry came to Fla and tried to help Gore in the recount.

Kerry is a phony. If military service is all important, he should have never campaigned on behalf of Clinton. Dole and Bush Sr. served in WW2 and never tossed their medals away.

Kerry is full of it and the media are nothing but Leftist shills.

John, I just saw the thread you started where evidently Kerry IS now adopting the "Bush was a deserter" line.

What a slime. What a despicable creep he is.

Look, Mrs. Blair is hard core Labor Party. No way that girl can be anything other than a barbarian. Now, is she pro-choice? Someone ought to ask her.

[WestTexasWend]

Yup...that's the pic I had in mind, thanks for posting it. Does look like W is giving her a cold-sore check...

Tough choices. Don't many Britons think the Israeli government should reel in settlers and take down settlements to mollify the Palestinians.

I should think that any military or financial support by the British of North Ireland should cease. Give North Ireland back to the Irish.

Yes, the left in the UK argue for both these points quite consistently. But NI is voluntarily part of the UK.

see post 128,,I misspelled!

"The hysterical thing is that Cherie never brought up this topic with Clintoon. Of course, Bubba supports the death penalty and executed a retarded black man as Governor of Arkansas-- why in the Hell does the Left get a pass? I am freaking amazed by the hypocrisy."

Your post was so good, I had to re-post it.

EX-actly!

Another excellent point!

She may be a leftie, but she's also a strong Roman Catholic. I see no reason to assume she's pro-choice. She had her 4th baby at 45, and a miscarriage in 2002, where most pro-choicers would have terminated. The Telegraph said "Despite the dangers of a pregnancy for a woman of 47, Mrs Blair's strong Roman Catholic faith would have made an abortion unthinkable." Link

A search on Google produced not much on the topic, but the Conservative Christian Fellowship think "Cherie Blair, widely regarded as being to the left of her husband, is also reputed, as a Catholic, to be personally opposed to abortion." Link

Point taken Matchett - and you were right to point out my error, but I must defend myself in that I meant no insult to Matt Drudge and his website. I merely found it odd that he would blithely link to an FR thread as if it were an article.

I have never seen him do this before, and perhaps he does it all the time - I am an ignorant sod as you have pointed out. I rarely read Drudge's website. It was a complete shock to me so early in the morning to find myself in the middle of FreeRepublic when I was certain I had searched DrudgeReport. One of those "now why did I do that?" moments for me.

I had searched FreeRepublic moments before looking for the article on Cherie Blair's critique of our President and having found none in FreeRepublic because no doubt I phrased my Search improperly, I then went to Drudge.
Thankfully Mr. Drudge had already found a thread on this website and guided me carefully to it.

My apologies to Mr. Drudge if and when he ever nods in here.
I am humbled.

And Mr. Matchett-PI I hardly think you need to chastise so many members in a general group. If you have issues with posters, would it not be more adult to deal with them directly, not a one-size-fits-all rant!

Thanks.

These people are amazing. The thing that amazes me is that there are millions of people falling for their BS. That is the great mystery of our time.

[cajungirl]

Your post 210 brings the recount all back. It amazes me the selective blindness of the dems to what happened down in florida. The attempt to steal the election by Gore aided and abetted by the party workers, and finally by the fla supremes was one of the most shockiing things I have ever seen. Thank God the Supremes stepped in. It still amazes me that it was happening right in front of our eyes.

[faithincowboys]

Well, Hells bells, Cherie should tend to her own troubles.

By the way, the settlers are voluntarily where they are and your government clearly believes that they should be forcibly removed to assuage Arab rage.

I would just appreciate it if the Prime Minister's wife did not pick arguments with this American President-- especially when she loved Clinton so.

Mrs. Blair would certainly not be the first woman to pad her resumee and further her ambitions by sleeping her way to the top.

[Cold Heat]

Very unclassy!

Absolutely!

I would put her on the dis-invite list for sure. Foreign relations be damned.

[katana]

Unlike Cherie's country, ours has a written constitution the rules of which were (despite the efforts of the Florida State Supreme Court, the socialist whores who make up most of our press, every known thug in the democrat party and their slime candidate) followed to the letter. I would hope that GWB took this b***h's comments in stride and that Laura, in a private moment, told Cherie exactly where she could stick it.

[faithincowboys]

Yeah, I sympathize with the thoughts of Laura Bush. I resent that people have portrayed her as a heathen on this thread.

I have read a little by Jong. I also read some Didion. I disagree with the Left on much, but they do have talented people on their side. I also think there is a great deal of peer pressure and superficiality. If you want adulation, you have to be on the Left.

If you are a personality type that demands universal love, it's better to be on the Left. There are so many people singing your praises. Clinton was absolutely adored by the celebrities in literature and film. Meanwhile, Bush is hated so passionately.

I think the abortion stance of the GOP does alienate some suburban women. I think the Dems would be in grave trouble if there was a national consensus to respectfully disagree and live with the tragically practical status quo.

The thing that bothers me so much is the Left's demonization of the Right. Bush is trying to unite the country, but the Left in the media and in government are absolutely divisive. The stump speeches of Kerry and Clark are so hateful. They paint a caricature of those of us on the Right as racist, mean-spirited, illiterate morons. They constantly question our patriotism and intelligence.

I am really sick of their tactics, I hope the majority of Americans deal them a blow that they won't soon forget. They need to be further marginalized.

BTW, you can bring that thread back to life if you try. People on FR love to debate abortion. Or you could post an article on abortion that would attract pretty much the same people.

"It's not a secret that Mrs. Bush is pro-choice..."

It was until I read your post.

While I wonder if I should assume she's anti-gun and pro-illegal invader as well, we can be thankful at least she has enough sense not to broadcast it.
