Andy Card has resigned.

[clawrence3]

Agreed - hopefully things do not get worse now.

The reality of governance is something that rigid armchair critics like you never have to worry about.

Dick Cheney is no 'mystery.' He'll go down as arguably the finest VP in US history...........part of a great team who led us with courage in one of the most difficult times in our history.

[snugs]

Spoken like a "true conservative" sarcasm off.

Hate to disappoint you but you are also stuck with Dick Cheney he was elected on the President's ticket.

[clawrence3]

Or, at least bring back Ari : )

[DoughtyOne]

Finally, the ugly truth of life saving colonics and the Democrats is revealed.

[bill1952]

LOL! Not in our lifetimes.

By the time something is actually done about immigration, it will be us being kicked out and don't forget it.

Don't forget to get armed, either.

[VictoryGal]

Yeah, what is with these turncoat ex-members of the Administration, badmouthing the former boss? They should stop handing out stupid pills at the exit door of the White House.

[snugs]

Well put unfortunatley some people do not live in the real world.

[VictoryGal]

> He and Chertoff will be the next to go. To be replaced by people who will actually do something about illegal immigration.

I really really hope you're right. But unfortunately Bush has never been a supporter of strong borders. It would take a sea change to get his policy in the right groove.

[snugs]

I am certain Andy Card will not be one of them

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

Now Miss Marple, I asked a question that is very interesting. I am sure you can give some good input and hold the sarcasm.

FACT: Dick Cheney was one of the most conservative, outstanding Representatives we have had in our lifetime. Besides Cheney's outstanding conservative voting record, his vast experience across all levels of govt was a tremendous asset to George Bush.

QUESTION: Since Dick Cheney was so conservative, why did Cheney allow the direction of Bush to head hard left to leftist, socialist agendas?

That is a good question that deserves serious discussion.

It is also interesting to note that early on in the Bush admin, many claimed Cheney had far more influence than most VPs had. Some claimed Cheney was the real power--we all remember that.

This all begs the question again: what happened??? Cheney was indeed one of the most conservative elected officials we EVER had. So the question remains, how could one of the most conservative Republicans allow George Bush to take this admin into the history books as the biggest social welfare expander and spender of all time?

This is a huge mystery worthy of a good discussion.

Bush is going to speak in the Rose Garden on Iraq

[OldFriend]

What could he have been thinking to recommend Joe LIEberman as Secretary of Defense.

Other than pandering to McCain who hates Rumsfeld with a passion.

[rfp1234]

--and now for something completely different....--

Hey y'all girly men! We're gonna PUMP YOU UP!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Maybe.

If Bush insists upon having loyalists staff this White House, then he can at least demand that they be competent ones.

I don't see why he couldn't hire someone like Mary Matalin for that position.

[OldFriend]

Just knew the trolls would be out in force this day.

[ElPatriota]

Normally, I would have tought "about time!" but I am beginning to wonder if the problem is not at TOP - with the president really?

I confess I am having a lots of second thoughts about this guy....

Sure, he is better than Clinton!... but I began to have doubts when he nominated Miers... that was a decision that still hunts me. A decision that shows lack of guts, and not very strong convictions when it comes to choosing the "best" candidate for the job.

And I also thinking a lot about what a "compassionate conservative" really means.... I never paid attention to it really, but judging by the series of missteps of late... I am wondering, who is this guy? Is he a Globalist?... Is he on the pocket of the business camp?... etc, etc

[ohioWfan]

When?

[mystery-ak]

now

[Miss Marple]

Your question is based on a silly premise. The administration has not gone in a leftward, socialist agenda.

You are up to your usual tricks and I'm not going to play.

Those of us who are Cheney fans know that he is the same person he has always been.
