WASHINGTON -- While jumping up on cue to cheer during the speech and delivering rave reviews afterward in the Capitol's Statuary Hall, conservative members of Congress were deeply disappointed by George W. Bush Tuesday night. It was not merely that the president abandoned past domestic goals. He appeared to be moving toward bigger government.
The consensus on the Right was that President Bush's fifth State of the Union Address was his worst. Republican congressmen agreed privately that he was most effective at the beginning with his familiar message of why U.S. forces cannot abandon Iraq. The problem for these lawmakers was the rest of the 51-minute presentation, which was filled with unpleasant surprises.

I try. Thanks.
The folks stirring trouble now on this thread have been pretty quiet for awhile.
Now it's like the word went out to go on the attack against every critic of the administration.
Fact is, the 2008 war has begun...
If we don't fight hard, they're going to gut the platform and/or nominate a pro-abort...in other words, totally destroy the GOP.
You don't have to do a link. Just pull up the thread, explain how you find your way to the object of your memory so other can see it too.
Yep, ALL you want is a flame war!
That would be a bonus.
I'd really like to have an authoritative cite to the genesis of "Donner Party." It's not fair to give credit to deport if somebody else coined the insult.
Best to first concentrate on '06.
You were up late last night too?
heh
To anyone who cares,
I have left the GOP, pending the Governor of Florida and/or the President the United States acting according to their sworn oaths to uphold our constitutions and innocent human life by simply giving Terri Schiavo a drink of water.
I hope and pray fervently that the Governor and/or the President and their political advisors make my decision moot by acting to save this dying American citizen today.
Those who won't act to prevent a murder in progress, when they have the power to do so, deserves no patriotic American's political support ever again.
Feel free to pass this news along to anyone in any way you feel would be appropriate.

Woohoo -- this thread might turn into a respectable flame festival after all!
Trust me, I really AM this clueless, when it comes to using a computer. Part of the problem, is that I don't really care about learning how to do more than come here, read, reply, and use my E-mail. And it didn't help that most of the time I've been able to get on line, I used WebTV.
Nighty night.
Not too late.. Im usually off by 11 or earlier lately.
You, sir or ma'am, are a pot stirrer.
Phyllis has done more work for the GOP than everyone on this thread put together.
Your slander against her is despicable.
Keep being good. They'll give you a gold star.
Stick around...lol.
Unabashed, at that.
Oh, FSG, when's the last time either one of them picked a winning candidate?
Keep posting; you're confirming what everybody's thinking.
A golden retriever would make a better president than Kerry. This does not, however, excuse Bush from being irrelevant/harmful on any domestic issues and a huge spender (who has never vetoed a bill and run up a defecit bigger than Clinton's; no, the war is not an excuse).
ROTFLMAO!
They have NEVER backed one winning candidate. Their following is rather small.
