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.

Pettiness on parade once again.

I bow to your superior knowledge of pettiness.

And it sure sounds like sour grapes to me.

That too...

But what does it matter to you, you aren't in the GOP anyway.

I decided to come back, just because I knew how much you would hate that. I'm petty that way...

I have absolutely NO idea what a PS/2 or a USB is, but I'll look into it.

Thanks! :-)

Veto his own legislation?

His own legislation? You want him to lay claim to this out of control spending? Hmph...with friends like you, he doesn't need enemies.

I don't care if you come back; it's not like you've ever made an impact on the GOP.

That's what line-item veto's are for.

Just look for the little USB on your laptop somewhere, back or sometimes side. If you have one (it looks like the picture), get an optical USB wheel mouse like Ernest has linked to this thread.

You'll never look at your computer the same again.

Great. Hope he gets it, since I support the line item veto.

And if he gets it, I hope he finds the courage to use it.

I'm NOT a "party pooper" at all! You just aren't worth the bother. :-)

So why are you now willing to believe onyx, but not me? Howlin said that I was right too! And since you claim to remember the Cal. Gov. race threads and the flame wars thereon, why is it that you can't remember that the Donner Party Conservative term was used, repeatedly, in them? Could it be, that I am correct and all you yearn for, with every fiber of your being, is a stupid flame war with me? LOL

What do you real conservatives want?

Turn off the Printing Press that makes the fake money for starters.

Get off the sidelines and work within the Party and help us make changes.

Good Luck!

I'll just take comfort in knowing you will be perpetually bitter.

Don't flatter yourself; you're nothing more than a diversion.
