This letter is in response to Armand Circharo’s letter titled, “Bush not qualified to reform Social Security.”
The ranting, raving and grinding of teeth from the Democrats goes on! From name calling such as “all who voted for George Bush are idiots” to “Bush not qualified for this and not qualified for that etc. etc. etc . …
Look, folks, the man won! He beat your candidate convincingly and is the president of the United States. You don’t have to like it, but that’s the way it is.
Your tilt on the Clinton years’ surplus is without merit.
You need to address the concomitant result of the monetary reductions that were unilaterally imposed on our military and government agencies tasked with protecting this nation from terrorists and unfriendly aggressor forces.
Regardless, please let the man do the job. Bush is our duly elected president. He was retained as such through the “vote” and deserves our (all of us) support. Bad mouthing and name-calling should now come to an end.
We need to look for an end to this tragic conflict in Iraq and get on with our lives in this great country.
Hardly ever see that one.
"If we can't support our leader, no matter who he is, then we have forgotten what it means to be an american."
I'd largely agree with this. However, there are certain times that you can't support your leader. Especially when they break that vow of trust with the American people. Bush hasn't and he never will. He's a fine example of leadership in the Oval Office again.
Welcome to Free Republic
uhhh ohhh...
the immigration is everything crowd might get ya for that one ;)
Ummm... We just got started.
"Your tilt on the Clinton years’ surplus is without merit"
While watching the money shows on FOX this morning, I discovered some very interesting news I have not heard anywhere in the media - a statement was made that the deficit has shrunk another 100 mil. It's now down to $310 (?). At least that's the number I heard.
Hey. It is it morning time over there?
Look. Bush can simply propose things to Congress. Congress is the vehicle in which laws are passed. If they object to a portion of the immigration bill, then they need to fix it. It's really that simple.
President Bush wants action. So, he submits a bill. He knows just going around the country talking about it isn't going to get things done, so he sends it to the hill.
I think it's a rather ingenious move when you think about it. If nothing happens, then he can blame Congress. If they come out with a good piece of legislation, he can take full credit. We have to address these drivers license. Even if it means coming back to fix it next term.
Also, Bush is a fine example of leadership, considering what we have for eight years previously, and what we would've had if sKerry would've won. How would you like to be sitting there with an impending Commander-in-Chief Kerry looming in? It's down right ugly and the reason I got out in 1999. I couldn't see what was coming ahead.
Are you sure it was "Millions"? That's chump change when you are talking about government deficit.
We need to look for an end to this tragic conflict in Iraq and get on with our lives in this great country.
I agree w/ Oullette's letter except for the term "tragic conflict" in describing our heroic liberation of that country. Thanks for the post and welcome to FR.
your comment is very true, yes we are lucky to have bush in the office, but if you imagine for a second, that it had been kerry, would it have helped to oppose him? Our president is going to try to represent us, but if we aren't there for him to represent, then he's going to try to represent the next closest thing, and i'm not looking forward to any canadian virtues in the u.s.!!!
No. Opposing Kerry wouldn't have done any good. He had trust issues anyway. That was part of the reason he didn't get elected. The biggest reason I heard was that they he didn't seem like he'd stand up to terror. It all boils down to trust. America just didn't trust him in the end, thank goodness.
yeah its 942 am right now....
apparently since he isnt hunting down Mexicans at the borders, hes wrong. I dont see how the President can do anything short of what you propose honestly.
there isnt an easy fix to the illegal alien problem...
Good luck to you mike, and i'm pretty sure that everyone here wishes that you get back to america safe and sound
"apparently since he isnt hunting down Mexicans at the borders, hes wrong. I dont see how the President can do anything short of what you propose honestly.

No. Amnesty isn't the solution. There isn't an easy one. I'd like to be able to tell you a story about a new MOS: 1B. Description: Border Patrol. Duties: Patrolling the border at various points along the Mexican and Canadian borders, using Hummers, Deuce and halfs, and Five tons.
It's an exciting tale, filled with OP's, Fifty caliber machine guns, and lots of defensive positions. It might even keep you on the edge of your seat. Or it might put you to sleep. And we can't have you getting bored over there. :)
I guess it could be billions .. when the numbers get that high, my eyes glaze over. But .. I think if the former number was around $415 (billion), then the new number is $310 (billion). Anyway - the number proves that the Bush tax cuts are working and bringing down the deficit.
Yeah I dont see that happening either.
Honestly, amnesty isnt going to do crap but induce even more despairing Mexican/South American immigrants to attempt to get into the country.
the problem is their desperation, not their attempt to make a better life for themselves. If we dont secure the border, that is one thing. But even if we secure the border, people are going to keep on trying if they are desperate. We will end up killing a lot of immigrants (not that I really care) but a few will eventually succeed in getting across the border.
I dont honestly know if illegal immigration will ever go totally away....but I hope I am wrong....
"But even if we secure the border, people are going to keep on trying if they are desperate. We will end up killing a lot of immigrants (not that I really care) but a few will eventually succeed in getting across the border."
And this is a bad thing? :) I'm just kidding!
