Conservatives Disappointed with Bush 'State of the Union' Speech

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.

That's exactly where it was!

Meirs threads for sure.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Oh! Absolutely, there are plenty of them! For example, one press of the little Windows key, the one with the Windows logo will bring up the Start Menu. :)

There's more here, where that one came from. :)

One other that I use alot is the ALT+Tab, that allows you to switch focus to different open applications.

I think so too.

For five years Bush doesn't use his veto pen. EternalVigilance points that out and you call that Bush bashing. Outside of FR and Dubya, you people don't have a life. You guys are lost souls.

Hi Howlin...a good week for conservatives so far and Wednesday's barely over.

I am ready for John Paul Stevens to announce his retirement and I'm enjoying watching the Democrats implode. How are you?

You make some good points in your #279.

In our zeal to change administration positions...such as border and immigration policies, taxes and spending, the defense of innocent human life, etc., folks can and do go overboard.

But I do try to give credit where credit is due, and have defended the President time and again when he deserves it, and when the criticisms are coming from the Left for ill purposes.

[Howlin]

Oh, no......we need a rest! At least a week!

[Howlin]

Disgusting, but heads will surely blow here at FR!

[EternalVigilance]

If you want to make a point, try sincerety.

I sincerely wish the President knew what a veto was.

[woofie]

But I love that all the liberals are also gonna be confounded....

[IIntense]

Thanks for your outline of President Reagan's accomplishments. Who can criticize him? He was an outstanding president and an outstanding American.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Sure; just plug it into the back; some people even use a keyboard with them.

Yep. You can even buy a wireless keyboard and mouse set. I use that alot with my laptop plugged into the big screen TV in the living room. FReepin' at 42 inches.

Not sure if this is a minature one though.....I might have to get it since it has a scroll wheel....

[Howlin]

Oh, I see what you're saying!

[EternalVigilance]

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

Actually, I'm not concerned. There are alot more like her than there are like you.

The problem is that the folks like you have an inordinate amount of power compared to your numbers...
