I wonder if he is REALLY gone, or just suspended.

[StoneWall Brigade]

Was a good speech could have been way stronger and tougher but hey i guess we have the new tone

[DCPatriot]

You can always count on the 98ers to slink out of their rats nests to infest the threads with negative commentary.

Whatchu talkin' bout, Willis?? ;^)

[NittanyLion]

NL: Please you make me laugh.

In other words, you couldn't find any. An intellectually honest person would apologize for overreaching, but I won't hold my breath.

[KevinDavis]

That is why I will continue to vote for the GOP...

[rottndog]

It doesn't say very much about us that we have to depend on dumbocrat stupidity for a good chance to win in 2008....but I'll take every advantage I can get at this point. Still a long time to go, though.

You know, if they taught REAL history in our "no child left
with a mind" public educational institutions, they would know
about the Panama Canal and how so many died of malaria
until someone figured out that quinine would cure it.

Tee hee........they wanted Webb and now they've got him! In all his arrogance and lunacy!!! I love it when bad things happen to bad people.

Hillary on ABC with Charlie Gibson (whose salary, I think she's paying)

Democrats are an evidence based party.

Don't threaten to cut funds to OUR troops,
threaten to cut funds to the IRAQI troops.

[VA40]

And then we've got Warner going senile!

[DocRock]

flaglady47,

Please note that I never ping jveritas to any of my replies to you. He simply keeps up with the thread. So... where did you teach?

[Arizona Carolyn]

That is very strange.

[mountainfolk]

Yes, the president was great tonight. I was reassured that he has not lost his resolve, nor been in the least intimidated by the RATS or unduly affected by the faint hearts in his own party. I found his speech easy to follow and appreciated the absence of rhetorical soaring that critics consider the measure of success/failure for any speech by President Bush. He knows what he is talking about, has a firm grasp on the reality of the situation in Iraq, and also on the opposition of his enemies at home. I have so much respect for this President. We can only pray that his successor is cut from the same cloth of integrity, loyalty to America, and has the same rock solid stamina that will endure throughout their presidency.

Like a wolf smiles at a rabbit. VP Cheney is my hero.

[A.Hun]

I'm glad he got to give he rebuttal, they couldn't have chosen a worse representative.

I'm not so sure about that...

[lawdude]

"NUKE-YOO-LAR again. AWWWWW!!"

My New Clee Er physics prof said it that way too. He would get POed if we did saying we were mocking him.

[nopardons]

Sadly, it's reoccurred in the same place, as well as appeared in other places. I do feel sorry for him.....about that.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Yes, I just got to order my 25-year gift, and a taxable charge appears on my w-2 form. I get extra life insurance as well, and THAT appears on my w-2 as a taxable item.

Oh, and because I put more into my 401-k than I'm allowed to, at the end of the year THAT appears as taxable income as well, because it's over the $15,000 limit (just like Bush is proposing for health care costs).

What I do hope is the setup takes into account the number of dependents a person has, so it doesn't punish large families. Large families are already hit by the AMT.

[A message]

I will not listen - have not listened - to one second of the Demonrat response....esp from Webb. Will not listen to or look at one second of the "pundits" who want to analyze the speech.

Agreed, I heard the speech and have my opinion. The scratching noise generated by the Democrats and media is a waste of my concentration and time.
