If you are familar with the Washington novels of Allen Drury, you'll understand why I would refer to Senator Al Franken as "Jawbone".
Are you really this ignorant? Do you real bother to even think what you are saying or do you just mindlessly regulate whatever nonsense Democrat Campaign Contributor Mike Savage screams at you?
If you are really this ignorant of all political reality there is utterly NO hope for you at all. Give you just ONE accomplishment out of the thousands that totally NUKES your nonsense whining about Bush.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Sam Alito.
IF you do not know the significance of those two names you are so ignorant it is amazing you can turn on a computer!
Sorry you hate Bush. Get over it. What the matter, did he not stop and shake your hand at some fund raiser? Your emotion based rage at the man is pathetic and childish. Your ignorance of even basic political facts inexcusable.
I am sure some of the dossiers the congressional committees might use...COULD include some posts from FR, as ammunition.
They LOVE to have examples of "conservatives" that bash Pres. Bush at every turn.
Any anger that President Bush shows will be presented by the DBM as desperate, he is capable of being very angry and can even be mean and nasty. It is not Presidential and will take away from his likability which is one of the fine points that got him elected. I personally would like to see him stand Monkey Boy Gregory,Tim Moron,H Thomas and all the hateful scumbags of the DBM up facing away from the president in a long line and have him go down that line and kick each and every one of them in the butt until he could not raise his foot any longer. Helen's butt would take both feet like a drop kick. I am LOL at the thought...
True. The Dems in my area (a large majority) think that this war on terror stuff is just a lot of hype conjured up by Bush and Cheney to hold on to power and enrich their big business supporters. And you get the impression that there is a lot of gleefulness at seeing the businesses and other movers and shakers scared over what the "downtrodden" in the world might do to them.
And the difference is that the President is in his second term, so he is disqualified to run for another. The Republicans in Congress, however, are looking for a lifetime in the same position. If they were interested in doing what is best for the United States instead of doing what is best for Senator (fill-in the blank) perhaps their perspective would be different, and more in line with President Bush.
This could be solved with a contract between Republicans in Congress and the American people to perform certain things and retire after a pre-specified number of terms. I wonder if anybody in the Republican party ever thought of doing something along those lines...
Great post, Barset.
I am so sorry to hear that you are still feeling bad...Prayers up for you.
Thank you for posting that link and message!!
Excellent Point...
There was/is dissension in the ranks and has been almost from the onset. Powell and Armitage were leaking to the MSM almost from the invasion of Iraq. Despite having control over both houses of Congress, the Reps have had a difficult time herding cats to get a unified position on almost anything. The MSM and Dems have exploited these divisions.
I ask again, where is our Lanny Davis? Where is our Moveon.org? I'll tell you where they are, they are basking in the glow of the MSM spotlight, getting love for dissing Bush. Chuck Hagel is simply a dishonorable man. The same for McCain, the same for Lindsey Graham. I give Graham a break, because all JAG's are brain-damaged to begin with.
I don't understand your analogy. Lanny Davis is a diehard supporter. Hagel and McCain are like Zell Miller. Graham and McCain have lately been strong on supporting victory in Iraq. They were not so helpful prior to that. Why hasn't Karl Rove been more visible?
Chris Wallace has no personality/charisma... one reason I don't watch Brits show when he fills in.
They should give Liz her own show. She is the best thing on Sunday mornings on Fox.
No just fight back against this vermin instead of calling them patriots and honorable men.
Brilliant stuff mainepatsfan.Had to be repeated.
Good post....
LOL...Thank you snugs, you always come through with just the right quote and/or picture!!
While there has been a lot about the previous Congress and the Repubs 12 year control of it I do not like, that statement is what I most disagree with from your "side", if you will.
Your side said they didn't vote last year because the Republicans were getting too liberal. I was assured that letting the Republicans lose last year would bring out the TRUE conservative Republican Congress and President of 2008. Your side said there wasn't "one thin dime's worth of difference" between the two parties. They claimed the lesser of two evils was STILL evil! Many on your side even claimed that the dems couldn't do any more harm than the past 12 years of Republican rule.
Like Pukin Dog said, I too argued with these folks that a dem controlled Congress would devastate the country and be totally opposed to ANYTHING conservative. Well now they've had their cute little vote, our GIs more then anyone else will suffer for it, and Pelosi/Murtha aren't through yet, but are plotting even more harm.
Despite the RINOs, there are still huge differences between the parties. The Republicans might not be as conservative as you'd like, but they are not socialist radicals bent on America's destruction. The moveon.org dems are fueled by their hatred of us and white guilt at our noble achievements as a nation and people. They stand opposed to everything we find good. Social/Religious conservatives are the target of today dems. Putting them in power to spite some RINO makes no sense from a survival standpoint.
I was hoping that we conservatives can come to some sort of consensus before 2008. I'm not sure we can do it. While I'm not ready to decide on a presidential candidate to rally 'round, I've heard that a nominated Rudy will tear us further apart. This is indeed where our party is headed, I'm afraid. Additionally, 21 Republican senators are up for reelection next year, versus 12 dems. Without every single available vote, we'll fall further in the Senate.
2008 is looking a lot worse.
