I just said there would be incessant Bush bashing.

I love it.

Incessant.

If we criticize Bush for the specifics of what he has said, we are incessant Bush bashers.

Between the Romneyacs and this, I can say, quite frankly, that I have seldom seen such Orwellian posts on FR as I have seen today.

"increasing patrols of the US Mexican border..."

****
LOL... Here in Arizona there some increased patrols because people in the border states have been SCREAMING for them for several years. And what do we get? Unarmed National Guardsman? If it wasn't for the Minutemen making a ruckus, Bush would continue to have paid lip service to "border security".

The President is addressing global warming....

That's the problem.
He may as well "address" the imminent invasion of earth by space aliens from Vulcan.

Actually, if you look at the posts above, you will see very little discussion of any specifics of what Pres. will say. (He hasn't even said anything yet BTW and he is being bashed.)

There are very few specific proposals in this article. There is more of a general Bush-bash going on, not an argument on specifics.

It looks like Bush II will be earning the I'st opprobrium "read my lips, no new taxes" as he proposes a terrific tax increase on the middle class receiving medical insurance benefits from their employer. The Bush name will live in infamy for nearly total betrayal of Republican ideals.

Stick it to the folks, GWB.

Sure. Let's use the Global Warming lie to put Hugo, Mahmoud and the Saudis out of business. I'm cool with that.

Bush and the Republicans just don't get it. They are alienating conservatives with this crap.

W's daddy did the same thing.

If you think about it. Daddy was in the White house for 12 years. Clinton was in the White House for 8 years. Little Bush will be in the White House for 8 years and is setting up Hilldabeast and the Traitor for another 8 years.

2 families with a total of 36 years in
the White House and our countries
freedom is being destroyed.

Global warming is
communist BS.

Best to just set out where he stands in a SOTU as a pre-emptive measure rather than he asked over and over later where he stands.

Yeah, it's better not to ruffle feathers and just get along with the Dims and envirowackos. Nevermind standing on principle and bluntly proclaiming global warming is a scam.

This is exactly why conservatives are frustrated with Bush and the GOP.

This has been quite a unique day on FR.

Methinks some folks want to turn FR into a full fledged Republican website. GOP'ers allowed only. Why not, its already halfway there.

And You Sir have just hit upon what is actually going on!

Read this weekends news and connect the dots.

Chavez, Ahmadinajahd Et Al have openly declared that they want to destroy us. Saudia Arabia is flooding the market and prices are dropping in an effort to stave off Iran,Veuzuela and Russias leveraging power

The one thing we dont see eye to eye on is that it appears Saudi is on our side, prolly for protection

"So we therefore capitulate logic and reason to political expendiency."

That's the new GOP way.

Pander for power.

When in power, pander some more.

Lose Power.

Repeat Process.

Pres. Bush won't because he is not a scientist. He himself can't do detailed examinations to prove or disprove something that's up to the scientific community.

Until it's been proven one way or the other he's wise to speak on it since it is obviously a political issue, but not propose much which is what he's doing.

"America must do more to reduce its dependence on foreign oil..."

Imagine the outcry if this had been
"America must do more to reduce its dependence on foreign cars!"

Silly as it sounds, it would make as much sense.
Should we exhaust our own oil supplies, or should we buy oil on the world market, until such time (if ever) those supplies are depleted, and THEN focus on our own oil?

In the meantime, we don't even do the simple things, like cutting the import duty on ethanol to give U.S. drivers a break!

Let me get your political philosophy straight.

When in doubt, pander.

A pretty simplistic statement.

I don't regard addressing a political issue that could gut the American economy if the Dems are the only ones talking as pandering.
