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

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 don't get all that much "done". LOL

I know how to get on FR, post, and I have E-mail off FR, which I know how to do. That's about it.

I can have a mouse with a laptop?

Maybe it would be more believable if he knew what a 'veto' was...

Mockery isn't argument. Neither is exagerration. Neither is absurdity.

If you want to make a point, try sincerety.

Can you have a mouse with a laptop?

Your laptop will have either a round PS/2 or more likely a rectangular USB port. In either case, plug in the mouse and it will configure itself instantly.

Ten bucks at CVS/Eckard, or spend as much as you like at a computer store. But get optical, not the old fashioned kind with the little ball in the bottom--they suck.

I seem to recall it [first use of "Donner Party" as an insult] on an Arnold thread.

Dang - those were darn good flame fests. I fully believe you (and party-pooper nopardons) are right. Sure would like to find some authoritative link to an early use.

There must have been 200 threads. Dang.

And this is no joke, I did a google search for "donner party" / "freerepublic" and the earliest I cam up with were those Miers threads links.

You are concerned that people of my ilk are going to purge Queen Phyllis from the party. She was already left.
