QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I own a timber business????? That's news to me..... Would like some wood?"

.

Got wood!

OH, good! I was hoping there'd be a Dose, thank, Mike.

Blue tie, $75.00, flag pin $5.00...... kicking liberal butt.........priceless!!

Our President made us PROUD tonight. He was fabulous. He was exceptionally loveable.

He atttacked Kerry's twenty years of doing nothing in the Senate.

He made darn sure that he said there will be no draft as long as he is president. TWICE.

He hit Kerry with the fact that Kerry will raise taxes, and said that K. voted to raise taxes 94 times.

Even Bush's expressions while Kerry rambled on were perfect.

Kerry didn't get the good light tonight, and he looked as ugly as he usually does.

ROFL!!!!!

I am soo pround of this man!!!!

May I??

Oh Brother. I've been waiting for this since 8:00 pm Central time.

"Infantry must move forward to close with the enemy. It must shoot in order to move…. To halt under fire is folly. To halt under fire and not fire back is suicide. Officers must set the example"
- General George Patton Jr "War as I knew it" 1947

The President did not halt and definitely set an example.

That's a fascinating quote of the day, but I don't understand the context of it. Could some kind soul please explain what he was talking about?

Thanks for the ping and posting the dose, ever faithful Mike.

I didn't watch it, but I listened to it on the radio. I think the President just wiped the floor with Kerry!!

Hi, Mike!

Thanks for the ping!

I heard that quote!

It was funny!

I thought President Bush was FANTASTIC in that debate! :o)

Psalm 36

¹ An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:
        There is no fear of God before his eyes.
       ²For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
        When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
       ³The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
        He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
       ⁴He devises wickedness on his bed;
        He sets himself in a way that is not good;
        He does not abhor evil.

       ⁵Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens;
        Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
       ⁶Your righteousness is like the great mountains;
        Your judgments are a great deep;
        O LORD, You preserve man and beast.

       ⁷How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
        Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
       ⁸They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
        And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
       ⁹For with You is the fountain of life;
        In Your light we see light.

       ¹⁰Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
        And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
       ¹¹Let not the foot of pride come against me,
        And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
       ¹²There the workers of iniquity have fallen;
        They have been cast down and are not able to rise.
