I hope some had an opportunity to view Brit Hume's interview with the President. A genuine, great man is in our midst. A person of principle who does his best to implement what he believes to be right.

His detractors in and out of the MSM just do not understand him, his faith and those of us who support both him and his administration.

[Howlin]

obviously you are misinformed or don't understand what NO AMNESTY means

They understand what it means; they just lie about it.

[Miss Marple]

Pffft.

[FreeReign]

We just lost 25 fairly good conservative seats in the House and four good conservative seats in the senate. Only the voters are to blame for that.

Bush set a lousy tone for the election.

Bush's tone caused the loss of 25 fairly good conservatives seats in the House and four good conservative seats in the Senate?

How so?

[Merlinator]

Armchair politics is easy, maybe you should run in 08 since you seem to have all the answers.

"Bush just drove the GOP over the political clift..."

If it makes you feel more comfortable, consider that the thumpin' the GOP earned in this past election (and note my phrasing: earned) shrivels in the face of the thumpin' delivered to the DemocRats in 1995.

Seems to me the guy who was President at that time is doing pretty well in the adulation department nowadays, despite no accomplishments that anyone can shake a stick at. And we still have troops in Kosovo, so that guy's glee club shakes pom-poms of hypocrisy, don't you think?

Bush and brethren blew it in the past few years. They missed the segue from post-2000-recession Keynesian pump-priming to a tightly-trimmed, swiftly sailing Federal operation. Instead they're still spending like it's 2002 again, and they got what they deserved, electorally speaking.

Whether Bush ends up being viewed by history as a great or merely consequential president depends on if he learned the whys of this past election. To be determined. A run-of-the-mill midterm thumpin' is, by itself, unremarkable.

[swheats]

No the GOP drove itself over the edge. Those representatives that got involved with bribery schemes, sexual sin and self interest compromised their voice to speak.

I hope there's a replay I missed the interview.

[FreeReign]

You must also think Reagan is one of the worst too?

I never cease to be amazed when it comes to the sorts of assumptions people will make. The interesting part is that even with precious few facts to work with, people will purposely ignore most of them in order to make their point.

Do me a favor. Ping me when you actually say something.

President Bush is the first American President to address the issue of terrorism in a meaningful way.

His father was blasted for lack of vision and yet the media now blames this President Bush for his vision for a better world for all of civilization.

The middle east must be pacified or there will never be peace.

The PLO joined with the IRA and other terror groups to terrorize vast parts of the world. They joined with Abu Sayef in the Philippines. They're in Chechnya.

The MSM would have us forget what happened in Beslan, what happened to us on 9/11.....

We dare not let the MSM win. They've had cohorts from the right and we cannot allow that to go unremarked.

We must let the talk show hosts and pundits on the right know that we are holding them responsible along with the anti-American left.

[Randy Larsen]

Now you've blown it!...When you have done 1 half of the things Howlin has done for our country AND freerepublic.com the maybe,Maybe you can talk like that! Until then,You need to earn your respect as others have.It's time YOU calm down and reevaluate YOUR priorities!

[Howlin]

A run-of-the-mill midterm thumpin' is, by itself, unremarkable.

But you don't understand: it HAS to be the worst every for RM to be right; his very existence depends on Bush having gotten the worst "drubbing" in electoral history.

That's pretty telling, if you ask me.

[OldFriend]

It's not just the left that is relentless is their criticism of this President.

[prov1813man]

Thanks for the great quote from Cicero. Never seen it before I am sorry to say. Perhaps this, along with Washington's farewell address can offset what is being taught as "history" these days.

[Howlin]

Address ME if you've gotten something to say about me, you A$$.

[OldFriend]

President Bush is the greatest President in my lifetime.

Don't agree? Tough!

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>What planet are you on?

I'm on planet Earth. Obviously, you're not.

>>>> .... the economy was in deep recession as soon as Bush was sworn in.

Nonsense. We were in a deep recession in 1981 when Reagan took office. What Bush faced in 2001 was mild by any comparison. And the 2001 recession was over by the 4th quarter of 2001. Fact.

>>>>It was his economic prowess that he immediately began upon taking office that saved this country from an absolute devastation on 911...

More nonsense. If you do some research, you'll find out that while 9-11 had a big impact on NYCity for quite some time, it had little effect on the national economy overall. Bush was handed a sound economy and thus far, all is well. Thank God.

[tomnbeverly]

Amen brother... In my mind all I see is Clinton wagging a finger at Chris Wallace hollaring how he failed to get Bin Laden..... Yep with his lying grin he said he tried... I feel your pain... I tried... and so am absolved... What a crock... He tried and failed the result of his failure is 911. Bush had to pick up the pieces of Clintons failure and take the lead to make sure this problem was fixed not tried to fix... Fixed... Right Clinton was talking about Bin Laden.. but did Bin Laden bring down the WTC? If I remember right he is still in a rat hole somewhere hiding from us .. What brought down the WTC was Radical Islam (PERIOD). The debate is never argued correctly. The liberals want this to be all about 1 man UBL. The President who gauges it correctly knows that this is about a movement just as dangerous as Nazism was in the 1930's. Saddam Hussein, Amadmanjihad, Khadafi, Abdullah, Arafat,Akram Ajuri,Ramadan Shalah,Ali Khamenei, UBL, Abdel Aziz Rantisi,Hassan Nasrallah, and others all radical leaders of the Islamic movement of destruction to Israel and the U.S.

[what's up]

Agreed.

[contemplator]

You must also think Reagan is one of the worst too?

I never cease to be amazed when it comes to the sorts of assumptions people will make. The interesting part is that even with precious few facts to work with, people will purposely ignore most of them in order to make their point.

Purposeful incomprehension is a tactic that does not denote intelligence.

[Carolinamom]

Bush takes the GOP to its worse Congressional power loss in 74 years....

How about documenting that?

[OldFriend]

The MSM put Katrina on this President, with the help of some of his friends on the right. They blamed him for high gas prices, low gas prices, lack of flu vaccine......there was no end to the lies from the MSM in their quest to destroy this man's presidency.

They had plenty of help from the right so there is much blame to go around.

Democrats who champion a woman's right to kill her baby in the womb went hyperbolic over putting panties on the heads of terrorists.

You can criticize this President all you want, go right ahead.

I will vehemently disagree on all fronts.
