McQueeg will NOT win the primary, n00b.

Ok, you consider me a traitor because I don't want Bush ( a republican) to cave to what the democrats want? I guess you are a traitor too, if you can support democratic agendas!

In case you haven't noticed, we are discussing the "WHAT IF" of this article! I guess no rumors should be posted here anymore, as we are not to discuss them!

[Smokin' Joe]

Well, that's what I keep seeing here on FR, of all places.

It is enough at times to make you wonder if we have been infiltrated by a unique and elite cadre of moonbats who can recognize cusswords and are 99% successful at editing them out of their posts...

[nopardons]

Not from your and their replies!

And it would REALLY help all of you, to realize just who wrote this absurd drivel.

[OldFriend]

In case you didn't notice......our own right wing talk show hosts did most of the heavy lifting for the demonrats for the past several years.

Bashed and slashed the President while their good friends, those great Americans, were treated to hugs and kisses.

Is it any wonder we are now faced with the unthinkable?

Betrayed our military, lost Rumsfeld, tax cuts in jeopardy, not a chance in hell of getting another conservative judge confirmed, any hope of a border fence GONE GONE GONE.

[nopardons]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....but these moonbats are NOT editing them out of their post. Some leave a letter or two out of the word, some actually now post replies with cuss words and profanity in them...ALL SPELLED OUT! Which means that there are now a whole LOT of deleted posts, due to that reason alone.

We have been infiltrated by people who do not belong here at all!

Maybe "unacceptable" means something different to you, but to me, especially in diplo-speak, it means will not be allowed.

Well that's past tense now. It has happened and therefore allowed.

The solution to the impasse was move the goal posts.

[Repub4bush]

You are absolutely right

Did you see the thread last night that Kristinn put up?

It was pretty much on point. IMO

[AmeriBrit]

Bush had the chance to change the world by confronting the enemies of freedom both foreign and domestic with skill and aplomb, and to earn the hearts and minds of his supporters.

---

And just exactly how was he expected to do that without any support from the right-wing pretenders he has to work with in DC? He's not Superman, he doesn't have a big "S" on his t-shirt.

While I'm at it, his name is GEORGE not Jorge and his title is PRESIDENT BUSH. Show some respect to his position, that is if you know what 'respect' is.

Perhaps you could look the meaning of 'respect' up and at the same time look up the meaning to the word 'Rumor'.

[nopardons]

Saw it? I was on it!

And let me tell you, there are more damned trolls on that thread, who should all be banned, than I can remember seeing in a VERY long time! The guy I was fighting with was banned and perhaps one other, but that still left many, who were posting as though that thread was on DU.

[nopardons]

BRAVA!

[Repub4bush]

I read through part of it. Txsleuth pinged it for me on another thread.

I was tired last night and after reading about 2 pages, I was done with it!

I was shaking my head the whole time, and my blood was boiling so I just left without posting!!

Glad you were over there!

[nopardons]

It was SO bad, no, wait a minute.....it was so HORRID, that I was there for hours, fight with the morons.

I bet you missed the posts that called for America to be NUKED, so that we would then "turn Mecca into glass", etc. These cretins want millions of their fellow Americans nuked ( of course, they NEVER think that perhaps they and/or their friends and relatives just might be amongst those murdered or maimed ), so that finally, FINALLY the president will kill off every single Muslim in the entire world.

It makes you wonder why parents are letting their 12 year olds post to FR at 2 in the morning.

[Smokin' Joe]

I think they missed this part on the Home page:

Welcome to Free Republic!

Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

I'd add bold emphasis, but then, I'd end up putting darned near the whole quote in boldface...

[AmeriBrit]

IMO, it's a typical dirty trick the RATS play every chance they get. President Bush has been out of the country for about 2 weeks now so what better time for them to act as the sleaze balls they all are and float as many false rumours as they can cram in. They know the right wing pretenders in DC are not going to show any backbone and stand up to them and call them the liars we all know they are.

[nopardons]

Sadly, I think that a whole LOT of people haven't ever read FR's Home Page and IF they ever did, never took it to mean what it says. :-(

[Lancey Howard]

This is an impossibility.

I agree. This is not even a "trial balloon" - - it is utter horse manure, likely planted by a rat operative. No matter what anybody thinks about George W. Bush, to believe for a second that he would suddenly attempt to eradicate the Republican party with a "compromise" like this is playing with himself.

It is extremely disappointing to see a normally reputable paper like the Wall Street Journal let a writer run hog wild with an obviously bogus rumor like this, even though the writer, ignoring political reality and writing as if the rumor might be true, wastes his time discussing why such a "compromise" would harm the economy.

[Repub4bush]

I am glad I missed that!

I don't think I could stomach reading such apparent ignorance and stupidity, not to mention it's down right scary!

Going to bed now, so I can get up and read more gloom and doom from the FWF (Fair Weather Freepers)and trolls in the morning!!!!

Nighty night, or um Good morning...LOL

[Smokin' Joe]

I read it back in '99 and that was like a breath of fresh air. I was so sick of the MSM cable news spin then...at least I get to take the 'edge' off that here.

"hilst giving a foreign nation the SOLE ability top sell a commodity we have in abundance,"

I thought I knew almost every reason I hated Clinton but don't know what that one is. Can you fill me in on the commodity you mention?
