You could, of course, also criticize me for not capitalizing his name, too, like I was earlier.

It's a message board, not an article.

And, BTW, referring to the president by their last name is fine, even in an article...as long as you have previously used his name with his title in the article. That way everyone knows who the president is by name. So when you type in either 'the president', or 'Bush', they know you're referring to the same person.

It's not disrespectful, it's the correct way to do it.

On free republic, where everyone has been talking about President Bush (see, I capitalized it there) for over five years, I think they all know that Bush is the president, so it's kind of silly to demand every time his name is used, it's accompanied by his title.

BTW, are you going to go back through all the threads where the pro-miers attack dogs used Bush's name and make sure they start calling him 'President Bush' every time they talk about him?

Well just to add some balance and something you would never link.

For what it’s worth, my sense is that Harriet Miers will be, case by case, a more reliable vote against leftist judicial activism than her mercurial predecessor, Sandra Day O’Connor. Why do I say this? Well, she’s a strong supporter of the right to bear arms. The great Second Amendment expert Dave Kopel says you have to go back to Louis Brandeis 90 years ago to find a Supreme Court justice whose pre-nomination writings extol gun rights as fulsomely as Miss Miers. According to an old boyfriend, Judge Nathan Hecht of the Texas Supreme Court, she packs heat — a Smith & Wesson .45 — which I can say with certainty the other lady justice, the far-left Ruth Bader Ginsberg, never has. She is also very opposed to abortion, and a generous contributor to pro-life groups

Nope, just you...
