Even NOW Bushbots are eye rolling tongue hanging out dumb..

jveritas is still sipping Kool-Aid with elan.

-—Well, I do not take kindly to be calling a liar. -—

I called the RNC liars, but maybe you should get used to it if you plan on sticking up for the bankrupt policies of this administration.

-—Why don’t you quit be a damn whiner!-—

Spoken like a true member of inner circle! As Peggy said:

“I suspect the White House and its allies have turned to name calling because they’re defensive, and they’re defensive because they know they have produced a big and indecipherable mess of a bill—one that is literally bigger than the Bible, though as someone noted last week, at least we actually had a few years to read the Bible. The White House and its supporters seem to be marshalling not facts but only sentiments, and self-aggrandizing ones at that. “

We can understand your appreciation for GW Bush and his freeing of millions of persons under Saddam Hussein.

But think for one moment, any good conservative could had done the same thing, it’s not really dependent on GW Bush, we could have had the same outcome with another Republican, or even a blue dog democrat.

In baseball, we can get stuck on a ‘name’ player without realizing that although this great player has impressive statistics, he is deficient in other qualities that relate to the team. In Seattle for example, the Mariners baseball team had A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez) belting numerous homeruns and piling up really impressive statistics, yet the team always finished in the bottom half. After A-Rod was traded away, the Mariners went to their next season and won 116 games. The reason was said to be partly because A-Rod was interested in A-Rod.

What I am saying is, let’s fondly remember GWB for his 1st term amd all the good things he accomplished then, but let’s tell ourselves that we can have better by respectiful criticicism of the current policies.

Blood bath of epic proportions??? I doubt it very much. The Republicans are going to keep the White House in 2008. None of those democrats can win the Presidency, only Al Gore will be the biggest threat if he runs.

[abigailsmybaby]

So what? It’s just your opinion.

As far as the words in red...you say she complained that he referenced God too much, then you accused her of not wanting God referenced at all.

[jrooney]

No shiite. He left office in 98 but controlled the house from 94 to 98. Why in the hell did he not pass a strong immigration reform when he had a solidly conservative house majority? Because it was not important to him. It was important for Newt to talk about his contract with America, all along while he was out chasing any skirt he could, including while impeaching the SOB Clinton. Newt could have done something on immigration if he truly cared about the problem. He chose not to because finding some kitty was more important to him. That skirt chasing morally defunct mouthpiece had his chance and FAILED, and he and Noonan will not get a pass from me.

[jrooney]

So nice of Noonan to say something about the bible, since she has a problem with GW referencing God too much. And she is a conservative? A hypocrite more like it. What type of conservative has a problem with God being referenced?

[Antoninus]

Blood bath of epic proportions??? I doubt it very much.

Did you doubt it in 2006 too? I didn't. I called it early on based on this very issue. Here's what's really worrying--last Monday, I heard a report on our local news radio station about the "immigration reform bill." It featured Republican Arlen Specter as being in favor of the bill, and Democrat Bob Menendez being oppposed. The Democrats and their willing accomplices in the media are spinning this so that they'll get their anmesty bill, and the full furor of the American people over it will be focused on the Republican party.

As I said, it's got all the makings of a catastrophic election season in 2008 for the GOP. There's still time to rescue the situation, but we're really getting to Hail Mary time, as far as I'm concerned.

“The small businesses are not going to obey the laws of hiring illegal immigrants because the government is not going to persecute them on this issue because doing so will wreck the economy.”

Then a new economy will surface. You’re still pretending we had no economy before millions of illegals slithered in to reap the rewards of our great economy.

You’re gonna need a new argument.

[Pelham]

I second that.

[hosepipe]

[.. jveritas is still sipping Kool-Aid with elan. ..]

GW could urinate on their leg and tell them its raining and they would be optimistic about the weather tomorrow..

[claudiustg]

Huh?

Honest people do not use God to prop up arguments that they cannot support with facts and logic.

I think that is the nature of the lady’s complaint.

[mtntop3]

Being a minority on FR (or anywhere else) doesn’t bother me at all.

To feverishly run with a cattle stampede to be in the style of the moment would not only be bothersome - but truly shameful.

I, along with plenty of others, know that President Bush does what he believes is right - not from political calculation and use of focus groups, but from a deep, abiding Faith in the Lord.

A final word:

“The Lord knows the thoughts of men, that they are but a puff of wind.” (Psalm 94:11).

[Pelham]

You can drink that koolaid all by yourself.

[jveritas]

Amen, Amen, and Amen.

[Pelham]

Well said.

[Pelham]

Thank yourself.
You’re exactly the sort that has enabled the treason lobby.

[kabar]

I, along with plenty of others, know that President Bush does what he believes is right - not from political calculation and use of focus groups, but from a deep, abiding Faith in the Lord.

Bush is terribly wrong on this issue. He will destroy the country and the GOP if he is successful. I could care less about his motivation. It is the result I am concerned about.

[jveritas]

LOL... yep a new economy will surface after we have a depression worst than that of 1929 by pushing 100's of thousands of small businesses out of business. Now tell me who is the President or the Congress who will do this and take that risk? NONE.

You guys live in a delusional world. Thanks the Lord that our President is realistic and real Leader.

[jrooney]

Aw, look another whiner that is ALWAYS going to find something to complain about. Not happy with your POTUS, I am sure you can bunk with Alec Baldwin when he leaves the country.
