George W. Bush was just re-elected President last night, by acclamation. Everything else you see, between now and November 2004, is purely theatrics.

This is not to say, that some totally unexpected circumstance may arise, pushing everything else off the table. But this morning, Friday, May 2, 2003, George W. Bush has personal capital which dwarfs anything anybody else may be able to muster.

No matter how long the Syrians, North Koreans, Euroweenies, or Democrats sit and study their hands, or raise the bid, or just stand on bluff, they are on dangerous ground in this card game. Still want to bet against the house?

President Bush may be no Reagan but I tell you this, when 241 of my fellow Marines were slaughtered in a truck bombing back in 1983, we waited in vain for six years for Reagan to do something about it. All of us were raring to go over there and kick some terrorist butt.

Bush may not be as gifted as Reagan with respect to connecting with the American people and projecting a presidential image, but at least he's a man of action. Based on past experience, I think the terrorists are more afraid of G.W. Bush than they ever were of Reagan.

W. might be Reaganesque in style

Bush will go down in history as being Bushesque.

Having won a Persian Gulf War while neglecting the economy, Bush must prove he retains the winning ways of Reagan, not the losing ways of his own father.

These liberal pinheads try to block every measure Bush wants to stimulate the economy, and then accuse him of "neglecting" the economy. But I don't think the It's-the-Economy-Stupid ploy is going to work in 2004 like it did in 1992.

It really hurts the liberal media to say anything positive about GWB. They scatter faint praise with their stupid comparison with Reagan and cannot understand how this Prez is doing all he promised in a way that energizes the people. My take on these idiots: they are the ones whose brains are on hold, whose IQs are in single digits and who daily prove they are all the worst kind of despicable RATS

[knighthawk]

I once said on the FR Bush was a great president, but not as good as Reagan, that Bush needed to step up.

He did, and even surpassed him.

The last three elections have been decided by which party has not had a defection of independent, issue-minded voters. The only thing W needs to do is figure out who he can get to go off the Demo's reservation (Sharpton is looking good) that will drag a key Rat constituency with him.

Bush and reagan are difficult to compare Reagan did not have a repub congress and was forced to allow alot worthless spending to get what he needed for the military. I dont know what different domestic programs would have passed if he had. Reagan didnt go full bore on terrorism like bush did but on the homefront he would have probably more conservative than bush. I would have a hard time believing Ronnie would ever sign a assault weapons ban. or allow a ted kennedy education bill to pass.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

but dont get me wrong I love GW I just wish he was a more conservative on the homefront!!

[MissAmericanPie]

It just drives these rats crazy that Bush took a kodak moment.

You creeps at News Daily listen up, Bush has not neglected the economy, as you well know. Why don't you write about how the criminal enterprise, known as the Democratic Party, has kidnapped the federal government and are holding it hostage in order to punish American citizens for electing George Bush, but then, that would be the truth and that is beyond your kind.

And before you bottom feeders carp that Bush was appointed, only the most simple minded in the nation, and those with an agenda, fails to realize or acknowledge that Democrats, under the aid of the heir to the title of King of Vote Fraud, Chicago Daly, stuffed the nations ballot boxes with at least a million votes, while ripping off votes for Bush and floating them out in San Fran. Bay.

The Democratic party has been, and is being exposed for the organized crime ring that it is. They are standing naked for the American public to behold, and there will be a price to pay for that. So howl on, wail, tear your hair, scream at the dying of the light, it's over for you enemies in the gate.

democrats can`t fly bump

Why did he do it? Because it looked cool on TV.

They just don't get it, they think because Bill Clinton would have done it for that reason GW would.

New game in town folks!
