This is a re-post - lest we forget and what must be told about our President Bush - read it carefully and see why the Democrats are fighting back so hard to regain power - from unions to the environmentalists to the United Nations – President Bush has acted for America and Americans.

Digital Brown Shirted Electronic Moby Troll alert.
We have a Digital Brown Shirted Electronic Troll on the board.
Notify the Viking Kitties!
Richard. here is a living example of the Digital Brown Shirted Digital Troll trying to divert the good news of GW.
No need to thank. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say, we are all trying to make sure the message gets out.
A little like preaching to the quire, but then there are a lot of "fence" sitters, and if we get just ...
There were no lies made to sell the war.
10 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires
Incorrect. As far as "effort" goes, President Bush has invited each Democrat in Congress to the White House for individual talks. He has also watched movies with Senator Kennedy and worked with him to craft the bi-partisan "No Child Left Behind" legislation.
10 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires
Those who have cut themselves off from the heart of America can either atrophy and die, or quietly return with circumspect apologies. I would welcome the few reasonable Democrats left to join us in a bipartisan effort to crush terrorism. For those of you who pander after Moore, Chomsky, Nader, Couric, Sontag, and McDermott: don't let the screen door hit you on the backside because we don't mind if you leave and never come back.
And mistakes or not, if you're not thrilled that Saddam Hussein is sitting behind bars waiting for justice, maybe you should choose Iran or North Korea as your destination.
The rest of us are only too happy that Saddam is gone. Join us -- or not. History is on our side, though. Try to keep up, or just get out of the way.
"There were no lies made to sell the war."
Friday at our local market, a loud mouth lib was pushing the line that GW lied to start the war with Iraq.
I said, "No, all he did was read the thousands of reports by the Clintoon Administration which said that $oddomite had WMDs and must be stopped from using them!"
The lib said that was a lie.
My response, "Will you donate a $100 to the Re Elect GW/Cheney campaign for every article and documentation that I can find showing from Clintoon on down stating that $oddom had WMDs and would use them!"
It just glared and slithered away.
"If you're not thrilled that Saddam Hussein is sitting behind bars waiting for justice, maybe you should choose Iran or North Korea as your destination."
We will gladly buy them a one way ticket to Iran or N Korea or even Syria.
No, not ties to 9/11 per se, but rather, ties between al qaeda and Iraq were mentioned. That's not a subtle difference. Abu Nidal was in a Baghdad hospital, Ansar al-Islam operated in Iraq's northern regions, Zarqawi was likewise in Iraq (we intercepted his letter to Osama), convicted Palestinian terrorist Abu Abbas was captured in Iraq on 4/15/03 during our invasion, the terrorist Ahmed Walid Raguib al-Baz - a 1st Lieutenant in the Palestine Liberation Front - was killed in Iraq during our invasion on 3/20/03, Abu Nidal terrorist Khala Khadr Al-Salahat was captured in Iraq on 4/18/03, and the indicted fugitive from 1993 WTC bombing - with a $25 Million reward on his head - Abdul Rahman Yasin - was likewise seen in Iraq.

If France and Germany's leaders get such "good press," then please explain why Chirac and Schroeder have national popularity ratings there below 30%.

It's so annoying to hear anti-war (after 9/11!?), gun grabbing, war memorial destroying (Cima road Mojave WW1 cross), marriage redefining by fiat, anti-religious, pro-communist, pro-racist leftists complaining about our President's inability to heal the country. For those who wanted healing, we found it. He's not a king and he isn't a diety; he can't reach down and meld us back together. To heal, we need to get back to what has always brought us together before: love of freedom, the land, and this country itself. Those who hate any of those three things -- any one of them! -- will never heal. We're not responsible for their sickness.
Southack, your review is sooooo much better than mine and more up to date. Thanks - have printed it out and sent it out to my list and the local Republican Headquarters. These are the points that President Bush should be talking about at every stop!
What credibility has Sistani lost in Iraq?
Be specific.
10 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires
Nonsense. Pakistan joined us *after* 9/11. Libya disarmed *after* we captured Saddam Hussein.

I don't know who "the rest of us" is to you, but here, at this forum, "the rest of us" are conservatives who support this president 97 percent!
BTW, you can't "change the tone" when the other sides hopes for the death of young Americans so that they can take back the White House.
BTW, there is no such person as "George Bush Sr."
Excellent summary of an outstanding record that shows GWB deserves fore more years!
GO W-04 !!!!
I defy you to post ONE SENTENCE that came out of George Bush's or Dick Cheney's mouths that said anything close to that.
Here, kitty! kitty! kitty! kitty! kitty! kitty! .....

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No ties between Iraq and AQ despite no evidence to support that conclusion? What planet do you live on?
#1. The Clinton administration obtained an indictment against OBL in 1997 which cited the terrorists connections to Iraq and their agreement to work together, particularly on weapons development.
#2. The Senate Intelligen Report devotes over 60 pages to the Iraqi regime's connections to terrorism, Al Qaeda specifically.
#3. In that Report, it is shown that AQ received weapons training from Iraq for over 10 years including training on chemical, biological and nuclear training.
#4. The 9/11 Commission Co-Chairmen have publicly discussed in the last month that a senior Iraqi Fedayeen soldier was present during at least one pre-9/11 planning meeting.
#5. Too many specifics to mention. AQ terrorist names are mentioned in BOTH reports (9/11 Commission and Senate Intelligence Report) as being in Iraq pre 9/11 and working collaboratively on weapons development and other matters.
I'm here! I'm here! Did we catch a troll?
I think so. Check out Grampa's post #21, and then "View Replies" on #6 ......
