Think of it as 'not [EVEN] over my dead body will they raise your taxes...'
To: VRWC_minion
Must be the same folks from the grinning chimp or whatever that lib hangout was. Never any substance...just character attacks.
You know, I always wondered if the people who believed Democrats actually .... oh never mind.
To: Joe Hadenuf
Your are obviously not from California. I don't know where you are from but you seem rather disconnected from what is *really* going on here in California I know that Californian's allowed what happened in their state happen. Just as every other state did. Live with it. 295 Joe HadenufNo need to respond Zon..... There is no answer.
Politicians compromise honest principles. ...Why do you think it's often phrased as voting for the lesser of two "evils". Don't be surprised when voters compromise their honest principles by voting for the bad guy that's bad, but just not as bad as the other guy. And you think your political savvy is going to save somebody's butt other than the parasitical elite gunning for office? Get real! Two steps forward, on step back and on and on it cycles.
What is, is. Identify it. Integrate it honestly. Act on it. Idealize it.

NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY WILL THEY RAISE YOUR TAXES!
There are some who think this was a slip, or off the cuff remark, I don't.
I think this is a shot across the Democrats bow.
We all know what happen to his father and his "Read my lips" campaign when he went back on his word and signed in new taxes.
Don't you think President Bush knows this as well?
He has drawn a line in the sand. From this point on he can not support any new taxes, or he will lose any hope of re-election (and it will be the major media that will first insist he must go along with new taxes, and if he does, they will bring this quote up to bash him.)
He knows that, and he knows the Democrats know that. What are they going to do, over ride his veto to raise taxes, if so they can not very well blame him can they?
No, the exact words may not have been worked out before hand, but the idea to come across strongly against any new taxes was planned.
Anyway, that is what I think.

How repugnant was that? Are these people so stupid as to think that "not over my dead body" is a slip up? It is not....when he said that I think he did it to emphasize that he will NEVER let them raise taxes.....even if he dies over it (figuratively), even then, he would not let them do so.
To: patriciaruth
We lost the war of the reconquista here. Is this the Bush way? I am sorry, but you are a quitter, you gave up. That is very unAmerican.
You see, we refuse to support a President that panders to illegal aliens and others that are so unAmerican that you have to bend over backwards to bribe them or "win them over" as you say.
We have to pass the torch to them.
Oh no you don't, as we have already picked up the torch that you were so willing to give up along with our flag.
Don't bother to respond to this, as you are not worthy of a reply.

Fox just announced the Portland, Oregon speech would be carried live at approx. 5:50pm. CSpan will replay the earlier speech from California at 8:00pm tonight.
To: LADY J
I blewd it !! Krauthammer is often right, but, I fear, not this time.
To: Joe Hadenuf
Don't bother to respond to this, as you are not worthy of a reply. Another American standing up for free speech.
To: Sungirl
Do you think Hitlery will dump Bubba if she thinks Daschle has a chance of becoming President? Or, do you think she will wait until the election is over to be safe - and then if Daschle should win (heaven forbid), would she be willing to dump Bubba??
My thought is - she will not dump Bubba regardless! He knows where all the bodies are buried - especially Vince Foster.

He didn't learn from just watching his dad, he learned from his mother to have a backbone; and ... he's got HER backbone! You say what you mean, and you mean what you say.

The guy who stood up was our own "dougfromupland". And ... it was his son-in-law. Doug started a thread here somewhere about his being able to ask the President a question - awesome!

Agreed. Just because they don't look like us doesn't mean that they are automatically lost to the other side.
Conservative belief is good for everyone. We can pull this off. It'll take time, thanks to the way we allowed theother side to misrepresent Prop 187, but we can and will do it. If we can get 90% of the Hispanics, we will dominate.

Yeah, I was hoping the President would announce that he had made recess appointments of ALL those who he has nominated. Wouldn't that have been a great slap in the face to Daschle?? And ... by the President doing that - it would mean the topic of conversation at the Sunday shows WOULD NOT BE ABOUT DASCHLE!!!
Of course with this "over my dead body" statement, Bush will be back in the spotlight again - and Daschle's speech will get second billing - I like that!!
