Good for President Bush. As an evangelical, I am very pleased.

Sadly his good efforts will not be applauded by the liberal blacks or by the extreme conservatives.

He did the right thing but with no hope of any kind of payback. Now there is someone with character!

Evangelicals don't want the president to protect the rights of US citizens as guaranteed by the Constitution?

I think Clarence Thomas would disagree with your position.

If you look up the WTO, Doha and TRIPS and Africa, you'll see that Mr. Bush is doing this EXACTLY for the 'payback' US taxpayers will fund, for the globalists to collect. He never does ANYTHING that defends the rights of American citziens, that I can tell.

Don't be silly. There'll be plenty of payback. And you know the definition of "payback", doncha?

Oh, there'll be payback alright -- in the form of countless Republican politicians turned out at the next election, forced to find real work for the first time in their lives.

No payback, LOL! Now that's funny!

Here's your free newyear's clue: If people want to elect democrats, they'll VOTE for democrats.

If they DON'T want to elect democrats, but all they have are #1: Democrats, #2 Republicans acting like democrats, or #3: Third Party, then they're gonna either go for #3, or else they're gonna stay home.

The days of "well where are they gonna go anyway?" are long since gone. I sincerly doubt we're gonna hear Lord Rove mouth THAT little slap in our faces again.

It's got to be yours to begin with for "payback" to matter. Do you get points in Heaven for being generous with your neighbor's belongings? If so, my neighbors had better put their stuff up, because Heaven, here I come!

Yeah, too bad he didn't do it with his own money, rather than ours. Where's our payback? More tax money wasted? It's like throwing money down a rathole. Same as money spent by us taxpayers, through our State Dept. and the Bush Admin, on the Pali's in the territories. A graft and corruption hellhole.
