" didn't "bring up" these statements....I'm just responding with my thoughts if it turns out to be true. While I certainly hope it isn't true, it isn't that hard to believe as a possibility considering how things have been going lately. Not long ago it was "unacceptable" for North Korea to obtain nukes. The same was said of Iran. It has since been accepted. All those words are meaningless now."
Well said.
Let me make it clear for you, I thought we were discussing this RUMOR! I think a healthy discussion about what the MSM prints is always good. Most of what they print is RUMOR!
I think most posters here realize this is a "reported RUMOR" and not fact!
Clinton better than Bush? What about the sellouts to the Chinese? What about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court? What about the non-response to terrorism?
I agree.
Half of Bush's legacy rests on cutting taxes. He is not about to undo that at this point.
Maybe but I'll tell y'all what would be the death knell of the party, is if W caves on Iraq.
I certainly hope that all these rumors are not really "trial balloons" to see what the reactions are to these propositions.
The day after the elections Bush signaled to the Rats that he would be open to considering an increase in minimum wages. Of course he was ecstatic (dare I say "orgasmic?") over the prospect of getting his open-border/Shamnesty bill thru Congress. Now the rumors about Iraq and this?
I'm hoping this is all just something the Dhimis are thinking could happen and are trying to push W into a corner, however, seeing that Bush does NOT know the meaning of Veto; is not known for his willingness to fight and take a stand, then I'm going to hold my breath--and pray a lot.
Lawrence Lindsey, the man who wrote this drivel, is a disgruntled guy, whom President Bush sacked a four years ago. Take what he says with more than a grain of salt.
You having a short term memory problem, are you?
Very well said.
"Clinton better than Bush? What about the sellouts to the Chinese? What about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court? What about the non-response to terrorism?"
Clinton left us unprepared for 9/11. Bush risks leaving us woefully prepared for the massive long-term War on Islamofascism facing us and -- if he continues to show fecklessness and weakness on domestic policy by raising taxes -- we'll be left even less prepared for the competitive war with China and much of the developing world now facing us. The true measure of Bush will be the consequences after he's left office.
And I didn't say Clinton was better than Bush (nice try). I said divided government was better than this crap. The GOP was much more principled back then than it is now.
My loyalty isn't to some cult of personality or to any political party -- it's to the principles that made this country great...principles FreeRepublic claims to stand by...the principles that have been undermined by today's GOP.
"You having a short term memory problem, are you?"
Are you having a long-term memory problem? Do you remember the Constitution, the Founding Fathers and the principles this country was founded upon? I do. Do you?
First Robert Rubin floated that the dems should raise taxes because the economy is so good. Now we have Klinton stooge #2 floating the same bullship.
The FFs were all for a president diddling an intern in the oval office, with a cigar, selling stays in the White House, selling and/or giving our secrets to our enemies, using EOs to strangle our nation, whilst giving a foreign nation the SOLE ability top sell a commodity we have in abundance, etc., etc., etc.? Tell me, just WHERE do you find these things in the Constitution?
Yes, I am happy with this president and yes I do consider you a traitor.
Yeah. If he does that he'll never be elected POTUS again...(8^D)
Yep, and imho, one more reason not to pick a liberal for the Republican candidate.
Nopardons, what is up with some of these people!!!
All of a sudden any negative sneeze from the MSM and everyone piles on!!!!
I thought here on FR we took the MSM with less than a grain of salt, and now all of a sudden they are the gospel?????
I am confused???????????
It seems Bush had only one constant in his presidency: openining up the border.
They claim to be "CONSERVATIVES" and then spew DNC and MSM talking points. Since when, I ask you, does a Conservative want to cut and run, when we are at war and we are WINNING? Since when, I ask you, do Conservatives make wild claims about President Bush, that sound as though Michael Moore and Crazy Cindy Sheehan had written it all? Well, that's what I keep seeing here on FR, of all places.
*shrugs*
LOL
