Will he use it against amnesty bill for the illegal aliens? Do you want to bet?
OOOH RAH!
I work the foreclosure market; regrettably, my business will improve.
I am not a son and maybe he is going to get mad now.
Subpoena.
if Iraq goes badly, the Dems will be blamed for it - pinning it on Bush (as hard as they try) won't work...
Suddenly it's the earth tilting on it's marxist axis now.
Must we play in the MSM hands by having hysterics and blaming Bush.
Seems to me the MSM blamed Bush for everything, including any cloudy day. Now we're here piling on too.
You said: This is a golden opportunity. Let the circus begin so that voters are ready for normalcy come 2008, which is a much more important election than this one was.

I hope that you are correct, but I fear that what we will see in 2008 is a democrat president (PLEASE not Hillary!). The following 4 years, with a likely dem congress and dem president will be, I predict (but hope I am wrong), an era similar to Jimmy Carter's presidency, complete with some substantial attack on American soil.
Any good that occurs between now and 2008 will be attributed by the media to the democrats, and any failures will be laid at Bush's feet. If we can weather the next 6 years of democrat failure, I look for, in 2012, a new conservative leader to take over (perhaps with a congressional shift as well). I don't know who that conservative leader will be.
My prediction, worth what you are paying for it.
The left seems to forget that Bush still sits between them and liberal legislative nirvana for the next two years - and I have a feeling the cobwebs will be coming off the veto pen during that time.
There are no memogate points in their history.
The stuff coming across his desk was the product of a GOP Congress. We'll see what happens when it's crafted by Dems.
I put it in as a keyword.
This election had little to do with Democrats. They were almost incidental to the whole thing.
If we elect conservatives, we expect them to ACT like conservatives.
People actually believe this. Nothing convinces me more that our public schools have absolutely failed as educational institutions than the ability of jack@$$'s like this to look at the last 23 years of prosperity and talk seriously about injuries to society. Name one. Or perhaps they'd like to go back to the well-run, efficient, equality of the Carter socialist agenda. Funny how the double digit inflation, double digit unemployment, total lack of respect for America (although admittedly we were better 'liked' during the carter years) of the last purely democrat administration closely resembled the European socialist ideal of today.
"the right-wing economic agenda that has reigned for a generation and produced so many great injuries to society and the general well-being."
Specifics??? Of course, there are none. Well maybe, rising productivity, a robust stock market that shook off 9-11, a recession and numerous scandals, wages that have generally increased.
What we saw Tuesday was the triumph of the ignorant voter. Whoo-hoo.
Geez, the voting machines haven't even gone cold and we have to listen to this lying, stupid and illogical bs already???
The best answer to these kind of prognostications is one that Bush gave himself:
An interviewer asked him if perception is power, and he answered with something like:
"No, power is being President".
Bush still holds office and will continue to hold office for the next two years barring accidents. That is now and will be an awful lot of power.
Being on the ground in OH, my perception of the Brown election is that people kicked out Mike DeWine over anger at Bush and Iraq more than they liked Brown. He benefited greatly from the anti-Bush, anti-Iraq national sentiment.
But some of Brown's ads here did make the connection between massive job losses in the state and the support of the administration for things like NAFTA and CAFTA. We've lost a lot of jobs here and haven't gained that many, not enough to keep up with losses, especially the higher-wage jobs. I personally know of people who were going from making $35/hr at the Rockwell plant to waitress jobs at $6.50/hr. Economic stagnation in the state goes make a long way, to the mid 1970s at least, spanning both Republican and Democratic administrations at the state and national levels. But, as with most elections, this year the party in power took the heat.
10 to 30 million (or more, many more) Legal and Illegal aliens (voting democrat) will see to it that that does not happen..
George Carter-Bush will be reviled in history.. and the White RINO House horned in on the Contract with America.. with the slogan "I'm a Unite'er not a Divide'er"... and proved the apple does not fall too far from the tree..
How do you tell when old "read my lips no new taxes" is lying?..
His lips are moving..
They're piling on here too. I shouldn't be shocked at the bile here, but I am stunned at the detachment from reality and level of expectation supposedly thinking conservatives apply to the President.
There are too many very vocal folks on this forum simply kicking the President when he is down and dancing gleefully on his grave. Considering how much has actually been accomplished, I find it horrific and disturbing.
If this prevailing attitude doesn't change soon, I believe we will simply fade away, victims of our own perfectionistic Achilles heel.
What really turned this election? Friends, it was the independents, like always. We need to get real! Indeed, the INDEPENDENTS control America, and we need to listen to them------ ONCE AGAIN (soccer moms included).
I did listen to the independents and what I was hearing was that the Republican Party was a "bridge to nowhere" (we need to get rid of that cold turkey from Alaska) - a party that unrestrained power had hopelessly corrupted itself -- much like the Dems in the 90's.
The utter audacity of the stupid GOP is also what I heard over and over again from the "pissed-off independents": e.g, Cheny and Halliburton's no bid contracts! Halliburton charging $125 per meal for our soldiers - three times a day!!! Twenty-five Billion missing in Iraq! A bill to put poor American people in jail who buy cheap Canadian drugs in jail! We can't negotiate Medicaid or Medicare prices with the pharmaceutical companies! Stay the course! Stay the course!!!! Katrina wasn't nothing! Big oil!!! Big oil!!!! Tom Delay!! Tom Delay!!! GOP corruption everywhere.... and particularly Ohio. Hastert, he probably had his wrestling team cheat, time and again! Foley! Foley!!! Foley!!!! Tom Delay !! Tom Delay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it really any wonder? Again, we need to get real and take stock.
