That's right,Joe...you'll be pleased as punch to vote for Hillary and her supposed anti-illegals stance (that she's honing now,but doesn't really mean),won't you?
In 2008, no more illegal alien apologist from Texas!
Just come out and admit it,Joe...you'll happily vote for Hillary,should she run. After all,she IS talking about banning illegals.How/if she'll do that,is anyone's guess.LOL
Louisiana has become Republican. Am I'm proud to be a Republican.
Good one! Haliburton Death Squad...... hmmm. Is that a special division of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy? ;-)
Now, if we can just get rid of that cow Mary Landreau, life would be almost perfect.
Now THAT would be marvelous! :-)
What a cow. How anyone could vote for her is beyond my capacity to understand.
Even so, I have been continually surprised by Bush. I've watched many presidents and seldom have they worked so hard to fulfill their promises. Bush truly does mean what he says. A Christian, especially, knows that words are important and powerful. True words are the most powerful force in the world. And Bush speaks true.
I think the liberals and anti-Americans around the world do know that Bush is completely different from what they say. Their words are untrue, and so are intended to destroy, not to heal or to help anyone but themselves. They hope to limit Bush with their lies and distortions.
Bush is 'one of us', and the Left's hatred of Bush is the loudest, most blatant expression of the Left's hatred of us they'll ever let slip.
Bravo.
I like your scorecard. It certainly puts the "smirking chimp" in perspective! Looks to me like ol' W has a lot to smirk about if he wants to.
I think the majority of the comments on this thread agree with your assessment, although I would certainly not state the matter so harshly. Krauthammer clearly wins the "gravitas" contest. I greatly admired his speech in acceptance of the award from one of the think tanks which appeared on C-Span and I commented upon it at length. By comparison Krauthammer is the better "political analyst" but Barnes is by no means "shallow." His boyish looks and tonality of speech combine to deprive him of the weightiness that those who are truly shallow attribute to baritones. Remember, the Dems sucessfully convinced a lot of folks that George H.W. Bush, a true war hero who saw much combat, was a "wimp" and that Slick Willy, a draft dodger documented by his own hand, was a take charge guy. But the war hero had a winpy voice....
Barnes has a gift not for brilliant "political analysis" but for insight and insight is exactly what he has given us in his description of George Bush:
What separates him from the Washington crowd? More than anything else, it's religion. Bush is the first president who's a product of the modern evangelical movement, which means his Christian faith is personal, intense, and all-encompassing. It's not a part-time, Sunday-only thing.
All flows from this insight in understanding our President, all the rest are symptons of this central animating truth. Fred Barnes had the depth to see it.
Christian.
Well said.
Great post (#9)
I have a feeling that the next 4 years are going to be unlike any this country has seen.
When Ronald Reagan began his second term in 1985, the Democrats controlled both the House and Senate. President Bush is in a position of great power here. Now is the time for action. The GOP may never again have such a position of strength.
I like your tally.
