You know, I've lurked and observed your posts before, LLS, and I never suspected you would use ad-hominems and name-calling as a means to deny the reality of what someone who was debating you was saying.”
The only thing that I called you was a Bush-bot... someone that defends President Bush when discussing some of the things that the man did that were wrong... and he was not perfect and he did makes some mistakes. To try to defend his big government spending, refusal to defend himself and those that put themselves on the line in their support of his presidency and his absolute insane support for amnesty is wrong, when measured against true Conservative ideology.
He did many good things, but he did some bad things too... and the same can be said for President Reagan... but not to the extent that Bush fumbled.
“It diminishes you in every way.”
I'll survive unscathed.
“I'll leave the conversation with by repeating this..... Your comparison of President Bush with the diabolical Nero is completely out of line.”
The only comparison that I made was that he fiddles (he goes on with his life in silence) while our country is under attack from within (Rome burning).
“He did not betray you.”
He let me down and disappointed me in many ways. He lied about being a Conservative and he left office violating one of the most important Conservative tenants that there is... the support of FREE MARKETS.
“He did what he thought was right, and he is still doing so, because he has convictions that he will not abandon.”
He is a stubborn man... admitted to by both his wife and Mother... and it is one of his major faults. He displayed this weakness when he pledged to “see us all at the signing” when he was certain that he would legalize and grant citizenship to 40 million illegal aliens.
“You can disagree with his principles, but to accuse him of being diabolical is absurd.”
You are the only one using or even contemplating these derogatory terms... I did not and I was not even thinking along those lines.
“If you don't even recognize that, there's not mothing more to be said.”
Obviously, there WAS more to say.

“btw, I wear the term “Bush-bot” proudly if it means standing up in defense of a man of integrity and honor.
You meant it to hurt me.”
No, I meant it as explained in detail above... you take it upon yourself to insert language and meaning to others words when they are not warranted.
“But it only hurt you because all I have done here is stand up for doing what you believe is right regardless of attempts to make you give up your principles.”
I appreciate your concern... I will once again survive unscathed.
“President Bush did not, and I will never attack him for that.”
No doubt... you cannot even come to terms with his mistakes and the calm and constructive discussion of them.

So you’re mad at Bush for not acting like clintoon and carter?
huh?
On some other thread where it's relevant, perhaps we can discuss "his mistakes."
Glad you're "unscathed" though. It was never my intent to "scathe" you. Just point out how very wrong you were, and nothing you've said has changed the fact that your accusation was way out of line. My statements still stand, your lengthy protestations, whinings and accusations notwithstanding.
President Bush is a man of character. Period. And you were wrong to compare him to the diabolical Nero.
