"So why was he so silent on the Senate's killing of Anwar Drilling, Southack?"
He wasn't silent, and Republicans don't control the Senate.
"So why is there no massive ABM development going on (not the token stuff we have) given the missile capability and proliferation to Arab countries?"
You haven't been paying attention. GWB's missile defense program is on track to DEPLOY our first defensive interceptors in 2004, just 2 years away. Test after test of our ABM development have been successsful, too.
"See Rumsfeld's comments. We are still subject to it, even though we are not a party to it."
Nonsense. Click on JohnHaung2's profile for an in depth debunking of that spiel.
"Legislators repeal, not the President."
Wrong. Guess again. OSHA's ergonomic rules were first created by Presidential Executive Order and they were repealed by a subsequent Presidential Executive Order (different Presidents, of course).
"Why has Bush told Ashcroft not to go after Scumbag and his cohorts?"
That's a non-sequitur. Pursuing Clinton with a Democratic-controlled Senate is pointless, anyway, unless your goal is to get Republican popularity CRUSHED in the press, and has nothing to do with supporting the 2nd Amendment as an INDIVIDUAL right.
"So why did Bush back Federalizng the Baggage Checkers?"
Because both the pro-gun and federalizing airport employee provisions were IN THE SAME BILL! Anti-Conservative nutcases would have railed against Bush as being anti-gun if he had veto'd that bill, and they rail against him for federalizing airport employees because he signed it. That's the way ideologues work; they damn you if you do something and they damn you if you don't.
"So why was Bush so silent on Pickering's rejection?"
GWB wasn't silent. He told the Senate to get Pickering out of committee and bring his confirmation to the Senate floor for a vote. They didn't. What do you want him to do, arrest Senators for being insolent?!
"So why is Bush spending money on social programs like a drunken liberal while we have a grave national security threat?"
One has nothing to do with the other, and it is CONGRESS that writes the final budget. All that the President does is SUGGEST a budget.
"Bush will sign the $180 billion Farm Bill "boondoggle"."
The farm bill has nothing to do with the Crusader artillery system, yet another non-sequitur. Moreover, the Farm Bill is the WRONG place to be fighting Congress when our goal is to replace Dashcle's Senate buddy in this year's election - IN A FARM STATE!
"Bush said he will increased Foreign Aid by 50%. Money to some will go to countries paying for terrorism--with USA $!"
Rubbish. Yet again you post a non-sequitur. Foreign "family planning" money is used for abortions. GWB killed that money giving us a clear pro-life victory (something Conservatives value, in case you hadn't noticed).
"Bush is backing Affirmative Action in the Adarand case."
Yet another non-sequitur. Affirmative Action has nothing to do with union dues and union worker rights, yet you feel free to mix unrelated topics in your pathtic attempts to slam a Conservative.
Legal immigrants deserve all legal rights and perks. If you don't like the rights and perks, have them killed for everyone, but don't blame GWB for being fair.
So what?! CFR hurts the Democrats more than Republicans, will be tossed out by the SCOTUS anyway, and signing it took away a major sledgehammer that the Left was using to bash GWB in the press. It's now a non-issue, and McCain can't give umpteen speaches criticizing GWB about it any longer. Signing CFR gets it to the SCOTUS. NOT signing that bill would have kept it in the press forever. Politics, Boy, politics!
It's ridiculous, bordering upon fanatical, to blame GWB for not vetoing Congress' bloated budgets when GWB is ASKING Congress for more money for our nation's Defense. In politics, one must GIVE in order to GET.
That's a lie. You can show no link to no reputable source for ILLEGAL aliens being welcomed by GWB as welfare recipients.
GWB secured the right to have failing schools closed and failing school administrators fired, and this was passed through a Democratic-controlled Congress. Did you think such things would be FREE?!
GWB didn't apologize for Guilianni's slam of Arabian money. Want to bet that Clinton and Gore would have?!
Netanyahu says that GWB is Israel's best friend in the world, but you are apparently more Israeli than Bibi and know better?! Get a life!
