ROFLOL! I didn't know that Chris Matthews was a freeper!

Too COOL. Nice to meet you Chrissy!

[proud American in Canada]

BRAVO BUMP on your post!

*blushes yet again*

I'm going to have my 6 year old daughter come back to apply some foundation and powder--she loves that, LOL!

Seriously, thank you. :)

My neighbor across the hall put a deep chasm between us last night .. he was spewing did I see how Bush let all the black people die (he's African American) because all the choppers are in Iraq, he also stole the election in 2004 (he's got it on tape), he skated going to Viet Nam .. at the end, he growled "I despise him," and refused to respond to my last comment (I was asking how his Mom is). All this as I was just entering my apartment and said hi.

I couldn't say anything calmly to rebut or disagree without him getting more enflamed... I mean he unleashed a torrent of venom. The hatred that African Americans around here (N. Illinois) live, eat, breathe and spew is breathtaking, visceral and completely unnerving.

I resent your crypto racist post.

Stop your griping, don, and lift somebody up who has lost everything they have.

I didn't mean to imply you had said anything racist. Sorry for that.

But you're niggling to the point of absurdity. "Why did Bush even give this speech?"

That's the silliest question that's been asked all night.

[ovrtaxt]

Read the Constitution. Military is authorized, this crap is not.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Bravo!

[ncpatriot]

Bush took away ANY racial momentum the Dems could have been building too

He's also going to be seen as cleaning up the mess that the Governor and Mayor allowed to happen.

[msnimje]

Heh. Finalized tonight. Incredible energy injected into his presidency with this. Great night.

The more I think about it, the more I believe this is a great night for the President and his party and a very bad night for the Democrats.

It is like he said, "You Democrats have had 70 years to live up to the ideals in the "New Deal" and YOU HAVE FAILED.
Now we Republicans will show you how to do it the RIGHT way.

check out the trolled keywords - can the mods clear them?

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Wow. Note to self- never get between self righteous indignation and any other form of indignation. mercy, do we share any common conservative values? The ability to have some discourse without venom? If we do not, I will have to request a compassionate ZOT. Or a cuppa joe.

[numberonepal]

Due respect Mike, but the ports are open for business. Ingalls in Pascagoula is coming on line too. The men there were called back on Sept. 5th to start cleaning up, and were paid a week in advance.

[Miss Marple]

I am way behind, Yaya, but can't you just imagine all those people in Houston who have just been placed in apartments and enrolled their kids in schools, told that they have to move back and live in a tent city on a military base? Hahahaha!

I think we should ask that guy if he is trying to set up concentration camps.

[MikefromOhio]

Yep. Very much so.

[slowhand520]

Yes.

POLL on the Speech:

How would you rate Bush's speech?

Good

How confident are you in Bush?

Very

How would you rate his handling of the Katrina crisis?

Excellent, considering the mess that was dropped in his lap by NO/LA.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

But the water was driven by winds in excess of 200 mph? Is it still flood damage or wind damage?

[Dolphy]

Clinton would not have structured his response this way. He would not have been talking about small business, free enterprise, home ownership, etc. I don't think it's socialism to help people get back on their feet but I do believe that the result should be a more economically vibrant, self reliant population.

[DManA]

I feel like such a chump. To think I actually voluntarily wrote a check. I didn’t know the radical leftist in the White House was just going to march in and steal what he wanted.

[msnimje]

I cut off my last line in my previous post

The Compassionate Conservative Way

[ohioWfan]

You didn't hear him tonight, did you?

Did you hear HOW he said we could overcome poverty??

BY ENTREPENEURSHIP!! BY HARD WORK!! BY CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES!!

Would you guys get the wax out of your ears? You're sounding really stupid right now.
