President Bush isn't a "Lame Duck." One doesn't become a lame duck until the period between when the next President is elected & when that president takes over.
I'm sure Freepers know this...but the fact the MSM keeps blabbering about it makes me think they're brain-dead.
Helen is good. She can actually sneer with words.
Amazing and repulsive at the same time, she is the epitome of her profession.
In sympathy with tortured prisoners at Abu Ghraib, she now wears a "Depends" over her head.
"lame duck"?
Oh,..lame "DUCK". I thought you said something else.
Pssst...did you know Cheney's daughter is gay? Sorry, just couldn't resist stating what we would hear day after day if he were to run. Not that I wouldn't support him if he did. Because I would.
Helen Helen Helen, the President NEVER EVER cared about the polls. He cares only about protecting this country and doing the right thing.
Sorry, but I dont waste my money. Nothing could help that situation!But a good thought none the less.
I saw 1 or 2 commentators call Clinton a lame duck shortly after re-election, not many but it did happen. It irritated me then to, it's the devaluing of the term more than the insult to the man that gets me (never had a problem with them insulting Clinton, and I've grown used to them insulting Bush). I think they're trying to change the concept of the second term, traditionally that's when a president really gets to push his policy whether popular or not, opinion polls no longer hold any threat to a second term president so political compromise becomes less important and a president gets stronger; I think they're trying to weaken it, probably because a president that doesn't have to campaign anymore is a president that doesn't need the press anymore so they're trying to re-establish their own importance.
Cheny, Rumsfeld, Rice!! The kick butt team!!
Would the commie, "liberal", "Democrats" traitors have a cow or what?
You're right, she writes as ugly as she looks.
Power is being President
Stupidity and ignorance is being helin tomas
IOW, Bush is doing what he was elected to do rather than what Helen and the looney left want him to do. Their strategy all thruogh this presidency was to marginalize him, and it drives them nuts that none of it seems to work.
I don't know but clintin is just plain lame anyway and so his his self serving "wife."
Listen you old hag...
The definition of "Lame Duck" is as follows:
"An elected officeholder or group continuing in office during the period between failure to win an election and the inauguration of a successor."
So, Ms. Thomas, go jump off a bridge or something already.
None, because it wasn't true then, just like it isn't now. The only time President Clinton was a lame duck is between Bush winning the election in 2000 and his inauguration.
