5:55 AM Republicans slink back into their crevasses...

[stephenjohnbanker]

Like vampires.

[DoughtyOne]

StephanJohnBanker, I’ve tried to ask you respectfully to quite being so nice to them... ;^)

Yes, just like vampires. They sure suck the life blood out of the Conservative movement.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, just like vampires.

I catch myself using improper sentences once in a while, but this one seemed so fitting. Here, ".." perhaps that will help.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Romney has already stated that he will not “attack” Obama.....sounds like McCain redux. The House & Senate GOP are hoping that if they lay low, they can get re-elected.
We have no representation at all!

[DoughtyOne]

The McCain approach worked so well in 2008. I know I would love to see a replay. Wouldn’t you? /s

No, we don’t have representation.

Democrats see a bad idea and want tax payers to subsidize it, and when it does not work, demand MORE subsidies.

Gingrich admitted he was wrong about global warming, but did GWB ever admit he was wrong about amnesty?

RE: did GWB ever admit he was wrong about amnesty?

Well, he ABANDONED the idea.

After leaving office Bush said in an interview that he wishes he pushed for amnesty reform in HIS FIRST term when he had a better chance to get it passed.

Even after 2008 he was clueless to how damaging his home ownership policies were to this country

“”After leaving office Bush said in an interview that he wishes he pushed for amnesty reform in HIS FIRST term when he had a better chance to get it passed.””

When the day came that Pelosi took over, Bush said “Now we can work together on Comprehensive Immigration Reform”.....I almost died right then and there........

[DoughtyOne]

I would advise you not to focus on yourself, but the dilema of why there doesn’t seem to be an effective lightening bolt around when you need one.

One was certainly called for there.

That crosses the line into being a traitor as far as I am concerned.

[stephenjohnbanker]

It IS! New World Order rehashed by son.

[DoughtyOne]

I refer to it as the New World Odor.

We’ve smelled it before.

What if amnesty comes up in the future? Will GWB keep quiet?

I think we can safely say that Obama will use the fact that GOP characters supported leftist ideas once, but even better if they support them long term.

I don't think McCain ever gave up on amnesty, although he may pretend to oppose if it's a Dem initiative. As for Romney, there are so many leftist causes that he supports from time to time....

[stephenjohnbanker]

GWB didn’t keep quiet about amnesty after he left office, so he just might promote it again. Romney will sell us out in a heartbeat, if he believes it will help him.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I can smell it all the way to D.C.

RE :”What if amnesty comes up in the future? Will GWB keep quiet? “

SJBs favorite GWB line ‘ See you at the signing you suckers who supported me. ‘

I figured the Bushes probably had hired Nanny's and Maids in Texas that were illegal that they felt attached to and wanted amnesty for.
Plus libs Laura and Martha were probably nagging GWB about being more compassionate, to get the illegals home loans and such.

Romney recently flipped on minimum wage as with Romney-care before. Talk about a crash conversion.

I liked when he was asked aboout repealing Romney-care and he replied :"Why wouldnt I?" Slick HIUH?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Romney reminds me of a “closer” in a downtown ghetto car dealership.

He wreaks of dishonesty...........he can’t hide it......it is pervasive.

The initial amount spent on algae to date may pay off eventually, and it’s proper for the military to try to determine what is possible. But look at how casually the current regime is funneling money to political buddies, let alone how the GOP has been complicit in other boondoggles. We see initiatives that are not ready getting government handouts. There is a difference between integrated circuits and ethanol.

It’s fine if the government looks at possible future energy options. I don’t want immature technologies to grow into jobs programs/slush funds for political ends.
