Kerry's use of the phrase 'bring it on' only makes us remember that a REAL man said it first.

[MEG33]

Bingo!

I think you are inept and my president did wonderfully today. I'm very proud of him. You, however, are annoying me.

The anser I wish the RNC, President Bush Condi Rice et. al. would give about all of this is simple and would shut the RATS up once and for all.

Q: Mr. President there have been allegations that you weren't completely forthright with the justifications for going to war with Iraq. Some have even implicated that you lied. How do you answer your critics who say there was no real justification for war.

President George W. Bush: My answer to the critics and the American People is this. I was merely enforcing to the letter, the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998 that was introduced by my predecessor with many of the same arguements that I and my staff have used as justification and which was passed with great bi-partison support. As President I am required to uphold and abide by the laws of this country and that is exactly what I did.

[MEG33]

Your opinion is not shared by me and ,it would seem ,the majority here.Ever think we might be correct?

...my president did wonderfully today.

What show did you watch? Either you saw a different program than I did, or your standards aren't too tough.

[windchime]

"Folks, it's ok. He keeps saying that the political season has begun. He knows what he is doing. He is a thoroughbred. You don't start your finishing kick in February."

Yes!

[txradioguy]

Spoken like a true Liberaltarian.

DUBYA "I'm not going to lose".

In today's interview, Secret Society barely comes up for air. For more on 322 see the Atlantic Monthly's May 2000, "Politics: George W., Knight of Eulogea" (http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2000/05/robbins.htm)

Russert: You were both in Skull and Bones, the secret society.

President Bush: It's so secret we can't talk about it.

Russert: What does that mean for America? The conspiracy theorists are going to go wild.

President Bush: I'm sure they are. I don’t know. I haven't seen the (unintel) yet. (Laughs)

Russert: Number 322.

President Bush: First of all, he's not the nominee, and I look forward.

Russert: Are you prepared to lose?

President Bush: No, I'm not going to lose.

Russert: If you did, what would you do?

President Bush: Well, I don't plan on losing.

[Jeff Chandler]

I saw that interview with Matthews and Ron Reagan. He was vicious! What's up with that?

Little Miss Ronnie should stick to dog shows.

[ilovew]

Or perhaps you were watching the wrong program. I think maybe you were tuned into Billy's Sunday morning debate of the word is.

[MEG33]

I just heard Kerry speak.To listen to the dems ,Bush misled them all,poor babies and cares not that he has put you in harms way.

If Kerry is elected he will go to the UN and Europe and make sure that we can once again take our place as a respected member of the world community.He will try to arrange talks with Iran..I just feel ever so much better now,don't you?.....;)

[CasearianDaoist]

Nonsense, this was not an inept performance. You just do not like Bush, you are letting your hatred cloud your jusgement. Are your sure you are a conservative?

[txradioguy]

Hey dag, do you ever give this petty criticism thing a rest? Weren't you like this on the SOTU thread too?

Sitting here picking apart a man's speech patterns is so trivial as to almost make yourself look like a Democrat. Because they are the party obsessed with "gravitas" and "electibility" and "superior intellect". The president just did a major interview with a hostile host asking all of the Lib "hot button" smear tactic questions and he answered all of them convincingly and honestly.

Could you imagine John F'n Kerry handling a barrage of questions like that from Brit Hume or Tony Snow? He'd be a stuttering fool. Get off the man's speech patterns.

It makes you sound very obtuse.

[cyncooper]

President Bush is about 6ft and Kerry is about 6ft 4. It will cause him to look even more down his arrogant nose than he already does and put people off, IMO.

He really is insufferable and height or no, will not charm the American People. Just the rabid Bush haters who find rudeness and pomposity directed the president's way satisfying. The rest of us will be offended.

[MEG33]

HOOAH!!

[olliemb]

I have read some of your posts. Dagnabbit, Cspan reviewed the interview and the people on the dais all thought he had done very well and they also said that the WHite House should be quite comfortable and confident with the interview. Your bias against the president is showing.

Tsh, tsh, tsh--
