I said right off that President Bush needs a slap...for all the reasons in your post #102.

That doesn't mean he deserves lack of respect when addressing him.

And when you consider who the alternative would have been in 00 and 04, you should light a candle in front of the Baby Jesus Sacred Heart that it's him leading us right now.

"And when you consider who the alternative would have been in 00 and 04, you should light a candle in front of the Baby Jesus Sacred Heart that it's him leading us right now."

True. But its pretty sad it came down to that choice.

As for referring to him by name "Bush" its no more disrespectful than referring to ANY President by their last names - which we do constantly. They're not emperors in an imperial state and we don't have to constantly preceed their last names with a title. Never have in the past.

The last time I checked this was a Democracy, and we could call the president anything we wanted to - and others often choose to use far more "rough" terms than the man's last name.

I think SOME people, like the guy who referred to me as an "A$$HOLE", are getting a little unduly sensitive. I think such people are correctly termed "Bushbots".

Also, I'm hopelessly liberal on immigration too.

I just don't like illegal invaders.
