Clinton was a bitter Parisian president. He was always campaigning against the GOP while chasing little girls.
...and it just seems that on occasion the administration here is far more friendly to its enemies than it is to its friends. It does appear that way. I don't know why he's meeting with these people. It's not going to change what the Democrats say about him. It's not going to change how they act in the Senate. It's not going to change a thing --
Here's why, El Rushbo. Because he CAN. It's the easy thing to do. So he does it. It means NOTHING, and takes NO RISK to "stand up" to GOOD. It means EVERYTHING and RISKS EVERYTHING to stand up to EVIL.
Thanks, I needed that. LOL.
Rush will be invited to the White House for some care and feeding,as soon as his drug business is resolved.
Bushes know how to salve the pressure points.
O'Neil, liberal as he was, was nowhere near the hate-filled obstructionist as a Daschle, Reid, etc.He still hated Republicans but he had the power so it didn't show...Reagan was extremely popular. The then Democrats, hated yet respected that.
yes, it was a seriously flawed decision to back the socialist Specter. If Bush doesn't nominate someone like Janice Brown, then he will seriously impede the efforts to save this Republic from a certain death. The Rep leadership, especially in the Senate is beneath contempt. They have no true understanding of History, no true understanding of the pure evil of socialism and above all, a complete inability to lead and make the hard decisions to cut back government. The only valid indicator that Liberty will ascend once again in this Republic is if Federal, State and local government spending, employment and regulations decrease from year to year, over many years. The government parasite class is killing the capitalist system that made this country great. An example of the utter insanity of government is this simple example: In some cities, the government parasite class has no problem saying one must have a permit if replacing over 9 square feet drywall. How can the desk jockeys in government pass such ridiculous rules with a straight face is beyond comprehension. The parasite class at all levels in our Republic purposely inflicts more misery on a daily basis to the hard working citizenry than our enemies abroad. I see absolutely no indication that the Reps will take any action necessary to save this Republic. Heck, the spending under Bush has exploded and shows no sign of abating. The Liberals should be happy; by the most important indicators, they are winning.
Most conservatives are becoming increasingly frustrated with PresBush.
While the President has done a remarkable job in prosecuting the WOT and while his tax cuts for American workers advanced a major component to the agenda of the conservative movement, the President has failed to hold down social spending and limit the growth of the federal bureaucracy.
If the President doesn't stick to his word and nominate conservative jurists to the USSC who are in the mold of Scalia and Thomas, he will have let down conservatives once again.
"3. Lack of comments regarding imminent domain most recently."
It's not surprising that the President has not spoken against eminent domain (not "imminent domain", although it is certainly imminent). He's used it when it served his business interests. He cannot condemn it now.
It's an outrage, and he can't even make a meaningless rhetorical stand. Disgraceful.
Why don't have confidence in Bush keeping his promise? Because rumor after rumor seems to confirm he is seriously considering Gonzales as a candidate for the Supreme Court and Republican Presidents appointed O'Connor, Kennedy and Souter to the courts.
Much easier to vote The Democratic Crime Syndicate into extinction. (Why would anyone other than a enabler vote for these SCUM?)
The Republicans control everything for a couple of election cycles and if they CANNOT CONSTITUTIONALLY govern or are exposed as SOCIALIST light...a new party emerges rapidly. Within 3 or 4 election cycles both parties are history. It's a win/win for we the people.
The obvious task at hand is to vote The Democratic Crime Syndicate into extinction.
Not a bad idea, but months away for me.
Here in the Keys people routinely spend up to $250,000 for a "building permit", we have govt. out of control down here and getting worse by the day.
It is very hard to replace a person of one party with another from the same party.
As far as "standing up" to his friends, I can think of 2 recent example of the President actively attacking his own base. Bush recently criticized conservatives for daring to questioning Alberto Gonzalez. He, as far as I recall, has NEVER acted that way to Democrats. Before that, in a press conference with the guy who must have naked photos of his daughters, (Vincente Fox) he calls the Minuteman Project "vigilantes," thereby demonstrating his fecklessness and lack of vocabulary.
Although, now that I think of it, his sunggling up to his ememies IS, in my opinion, a form of attack on his Conservative base. It is, at least, a blow to the confidence and psyche of his supporters. For example: He invites Ted Kennedy to "movie night" at the WH, and a few days later the fat bastard starts trashing him. All the buddy-buddying with Bill Clinton two weks ago gets what? Hil-liar-y likening him to Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine.
These things send extremely mixed signals to his party, and cause division. It is not the fault of the people who disagree with him for the division in the party, for they are the ones standing up for the core values of the party.
"Not bitter, just someone who leads from the right, rather than pretending to pay lip service to the right and then doing the left's bidding."
Hear hear!!!! Bravo, FRiend!!!
"I'm sick of "strategery."And so is Rush"
The "strategery" is becoming quite indefensible at this point. Rush can no longer use the 'triangulation' argument. He's said twice in the past two days that he's "getting tired of carrying the water for this administration". THAT'S what I want to hear Rush!!!!
It's about time these lazy fake conservatives in power stop relying on talk radio to do this continual cheerleading for them, when they stab us and the guys in talk radio in the back at almost every turn.
Hugh Hewitt's probably the only one still shaking his pom-poms. Don't know, stopped listening....
Right on, Rush baby!!!
