Conservatives Disappointed with Bush 'State of the Union' Speech
The National Ledger ^ | 2-2-06 | Robert Novak

Posted on 02/01/2006 9:51:00 PM PST by Coastal

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.

Stick around...lol.

I dunno. This bunch is pretty tame. Slow to anger and emotional outburst. I'm apt to get impatient, bored, and just doze off.

Hear me! Hear me now!

First of all, I NEVER said that deport began the use of the term here.

Secondly, it appears that your short term memory is absolutely dreadful!

Thirdly, if I actually believed that you would take my word for which thread/s I found it on, I'd post that, but you demanded a link; which I am unable to do.

Fourthly, since you childishly crave a flame war, above all else, I suggest that you go off in search of someone who will satisfy that need. :-)

We were just talking about that the other day somewhere on here; about how dumb we were back in 2001 when we all hung around here saying, "Gosh, I can't wait for the Clintons to be gone; don't want to EVER see them again."

How clueless were we?

Yeah, that was a desperate act, wasn't it.

Perhaps if you had been in front of the hospice and seen the SWAT team, the dogs and tasers and jackboots...all protecting those who were dehydrating an innocent disabled American to death, you would have tried anything to move our political leaders as well.

But, no, you were too busy ridiculing those who are trying to prevent euthanasia from gaining a clawhold in America...

You two, stop!

I said deport started it.

But, cboldt, I do think it started on the California threads.

And it did start on FR.

Do you have enough nails to keep you up there on that cross, or should I send out for more?

Personal attack is all you've got.

You're a truly sad person. I pity you.

Thanks...I really can't!

It was all of those years on WebTV; there was bloody little one COULD do with that thing and now that I have a spiffy, all the bells and whistles laptop, I treat it like a WebTV; but, it's much faster. LOL

Yeah! All you have to do is read what they say. They can hurl insults and knives better than anybody!
