No,that makes three of us.
I agree
Agree 100% Obama blew the top off the Fleet Center. I don't think anyone from here on out can top that. Carl Cameron said Howard Dean had the place rockin'. I hope they led him out in a straight-jacket and muzzle.
You didn't have to censure it in FRmail. I've heard all the nasty words.....
Ah well you never know who is reading and may get all offended.
Rounded up the FAMILY to WATCH him?? My suspicians about his need to constantly prove himself THE Vietnam War Hero are suddenly confirmed. GOOSEBUMPS. That is CHILLING to read. Well adjusted this guy has NEVER been.
Martha Washington was born on a plantation near Williamsburg, Va
The notion that George W. Bush has divided this country is a complete an utter crock. It has been the democrats who have been relentlessly attacking George W. Bush, both here and abroad on everything from the war on terror to his dental records from 35 years ago.
The truth is gonna be told in the next few weeks because John Kerry has already stated that he is not gonna run any Ads in August, or at least very few Ads. During the 4 days of the Republican Convention the truth will be told and you can best believe that Rudi Guiliani and Zell Miller will bring down the house, and John McCain will set the record straight for the mushy middle. All the other speakers will expose the lies that have been told about this President and the Press will have to cover it and remark about it.
The truth is on George W. Bush's side and it will prevail. The truth is a powerful foe, you can run from it.... You can hide from it.... and you can deny it, but in the end the TRUTH is always there and it wins in the end.
George W. Bush has the Truth on his side
She didn't express any "opinions", either. How can she bill herself as "opinionated" when she doesn't tell us her opinions? All she gave us was a garbled thumbprint of her life history, with John thrown in a few times as an afterthought -- probably when her son or someone else prominantly her from the crowd.
PLEASE don't tell me they're calling him that already!
The fact that Obama was the star tonight and he's not even running for prez was very telling. Bush is a shoe-in.
I meant the private FReep mail. Good comments from people in other countries though...
In an interview she gave in 2002 she said the following about him:
Maybe they meant to call him "a moab"
LOL
HEAR, HEAR!
Love that!
