Nah, another untruth by you. But thanks, anyway, for showing by example, in your post, exactly how a segmentarian conservative “reads” and sounds.

Your eye is true, don. And I think yours in re: Obama making the Clintons look good, bespeaks what is going on behind the scenes of the DNC quite perceptively. And aptly.

They knew they couldn't sell Hillary. Hillary knew Hillary couldn't sell Hillary. And so she took something away from her pals "for the common good".

Obama is her flak shield.

I suspect, DoughtyOne, you just can't stand someone having a different pov on the President from you. You think you see "truth", and therefore that entitles you to what was it? .. yeah..in your own words ".. to enter threads that canonize him, when the reality is, hes left this nation in a mess. And that prompts me to take a contrarian view."

You sound like a child, disappointed to find out that Superman was merely a reporter who occasionally stumbled and wore glasses.

Thanks so much for the report. Take care and God bless!

Merry Christmas, Allegra!

President Bush’s Christmas season visit to Iraq is a VERY appropriate visit, indeed!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

We had been told to expect the Prez to come in one more time before January - we just weren't sure when. I'm very happy for the troops that he visited one last time.

I'm home on R&R - headed back over in a few days. Got to see the TEXANS defeat the Titans today! Wooohooooo!

“Daddy’ doesn’t have this amazing power you think he has....try focusing your anger on congress...a much, much more powerful group.

Leftist policy has been going on since FDR...and there wasn’t much Bush could do to turn that around in 8 years, with no support in congress from his “conservatives” and a hateful media and of course, lest I forget, all the conservatives that are so upset that he didn’t walk on water.

so how about the new mantra, coming from the right..not the left...”BUSH LIED! MY IRA DIED!”

What makes you think that I’m not angry at congress as well?

George Bush didn’t use the power he had when he had the opportunity to do so. Not only did he not use it, most of the time he seemed to be rooting for the other side.

With the recent recover packages just how much conservatism did George Bush show there? He was like a snake-oil salesman telling us the sky was falling.

Who said I expected him to be my daddy? All I expected out of him is to act like the conservative he ran as.

This is the problem with rhinos. They have selective memories. I think you have a bit more “recovering” to do.

It used to be that I came to FR to escape the liberalism out there and the past 4 years it feels like the same old same old. Are there any real conservatives left here?

It’s the Commander-in-Chief’s duty to address the morale of those who will no longer have someone who appreciates them dictating their lives.
