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.

He lied about border guards, ask for 20K but then funded only about 5K. He talks about guest worker programs, BEFORE closing the border. Do you really trust someone who speaks Spanish at national events and has a Spanish key on his website. He has sold out to Mexico and the one worlders, and big business. Remember when that group in LA was actually finding illegals by the train load, they shut that unit down.

Oh, that looks nice! Thanks. :-)

Yes, they are hard to change and since I'm really not into do a whole lot of things on line, I've never attempted to learn how to do a bunch of new things. Just be thankful that I did manage to learn how to do paragraphs! I'm very embarrassed by my early post here.

Now they're trying to sell GW as a 'big idea man'. LOL...I think it's time to go to bed. If I keep listening to them too long I might need some of the meds that they're obviously using...

Upon what do you base this characterization of Keyes?

Unhinged from mainstream America.

I do, however, know what decency is, something that has escaped you.

Mine could be too, but I left it in the default position, which is in the lower right. :)

>>>>>Geeeez, DUmmie, get original.

Okay, DUmmy!

>>>>you misunderestimate POTUS.

There is no such word as misunderestimate. That's one of Bush`s made up words, like "strategery". I know what Bush is. Bush43 is a liberal spending, big government, open borders Republican. Those are my issues with Bush43.

>>>>Your rhetoric regarding your mypoic ....

Fine, I'll be mypoic, whatever that means. You can be myopic. LOL Idiot.

We're not trying to SELL anything.

We're not going to let you get away with your petty Bush bashing.
