Make up your mind Mr. Contrarian :)
Peggy over Ann?
Have your wrists always been a little limp.. or did it just sneak up on you?
Peggy had sex once... She thinks it was in 1978 or it could have been in 1980... she can't really remember for certain. She can't even remember her dates name.. but she thinks she wore Este Lauder perfume.
Wow! There are TWO of us on this site who want Bush to win, but don't drink Kool-Aid. I have been trying to make this point as well, and I hope to be out of the hospital next week.
You realize this IS Free Republic where you are making this point? Tell ya what -- I'll volunteer to start YOUR car in the morning, if you'll start MINE....Oh, forget it Fenris, we both have families to think about. So lets just give up and get in line. Do you want grape or orange flavored?
Agreed. Apparently the DNC trolls are alrady at work here :)
And damn straight Wizard.
Peggy and Rush and others got this one wrong. They wanted vitriol, they wanted revenge, themselves, but they got (we got) instead, a man who spoke from the heart, STATED his dedication to his POLICIES (geeez Peggy----were to set to criticize and therefore MISSED his tremendous declaration of standing by his policy REGARDLESS of opponent's wailing and ranting or poll numbers? Did you MISS that one?)
President Bush simply tramples his critics and opponents with his unique ability be himself at all times. Just by being himself, in his direct, straight 'speak' and steadfastness, he makes his opponents seem smallish and rather petty.
Regarding President Bush's interview from my perspective-
This man, this good man, made his points clearly and without that creepy clintonian wordplay that the democrats seem to need to resort to because they are unconvicted and vascillate with the wind.
What I remember clearly from the interview was our President taking a moment to speak directly to the parents of our precious troops who have sacrificed with their very lives in Iraq.
And when he spoke in defense of the National Guard and let it be known that trashing himself was ok, but trashing the importance of our National Guard was pathetic...just WOW!
And lastly, he spoke so directly to all of us with his decisive declaration that he is NOT poll driven, never will be, will NOT be changing his policies in terms of what he believes will keep our nation secure and exactly how he percieves America's role in this world and how he intends to pursue this vision, regardless.
I love him.
He elevates this nation with his refusal to bend to the whims of opponents, be it press corp or their bosses at the DNC, or foreign nations wanting to hold back America for nefarious reasons. This President will NEVER sacrifice our national wellfare for a piece of gold, a fake coalition or a false shadow of security in exchange for a slice of popularity.
Very unclintonian of this good statesman.
Rock solid, 'bring it on' type talk. No fear, no vascillation, what it is - is what it is. Is that refreshing or what? (No wonder this man drives democrats crazy by simply being himself! LOL)
What you see is what you get and what you hear you can depend upon type talk.
Embrace it or vote for someone else type of stance because this man is NOT going to vascillate with popularity polls. He takes defending this nation SERIOUSLY.
I understand this, and it gives me great hope.
And horsepatuddy to Peggy if she cannot understand CLARITY when it is right there in front of her....President Bush has LESS SMOOZE and fancy rhetoric that Ronny, LESS DRAMA and UNCONVICTED, DOUBLE EDGED, WISHYWASHY rhetoric than Billy, and, frankly, it is this quality, after his deeply held relationship with our Father, that I LOVE about this good man.
I'm still 'fishing' for why you weren't satisfied with my president's 'performance?
I guess he has to 'move' into a sphere, an 'act' that isn't his own, IOW, become someone who he is not in order to satisfy some ...
I *still* have to point out that I think he was working to defuse 'ol Timmy boy and his barbed, semi-caustic, projected to be 'hard-hitting' style.
I guess you're not familiar with the GWB 'style' that calls for significant underplay of one's position UNTIL it is necessary to nail the opposition tot he wall.
Well if he gets Osama before the elections I will stay home. If Osama is still out there I may vote for Bush. So Bush probably should keep Osama out there for a while yet.
However, as to the assertion made by a fellow poster, that she's only done 'it' a couple of times, I'd like to counter and deflate that assertion with a reminder that she is the 'surly bonds' girl, after all.
AND these are words +24 hrs AFTER the fact - and without benefit of review - so I give them little credence!
YOUR big error is IN FORGETTING those very lucid and poignant remarks he made in support of his position during his interview.
In short, without benefit of review your points, your observations, your impressions, as unbased and as ungrounded as they are, are becoming meaningless ...
I appreciated President Bush's careful and deliberate explanations.
And I REALLY appreciated hearing this man declare that he will NOT be changing his policy (his belief in freedom being the primary right of all citizens of the world, his belief that America has a responsibility to lead in this effort towards peace, and his convicted and unbending dedication to routing out terrorists wherever they run in order to protect his nation and others, the part of his job he takes as the single most important responsibility of a President).
Peggy lost her marbles, momentarily, I hope.
Hey, do me a favor, okay?
If you are stupid enough to even contemplate not voting in the next election, save it for someone who gives a damn.
I really have no need to hear from idiots who would put this country at risk because they not like one particular thing or another that this President does. You people are sickening, and I would rather not enter into a dialog where I have to provide the brains for both sides of the discussion.
