My reply was about all this argument is worth at this point which is: ridicule.
Your 'points of contention' have been raised, debated and often refuted too many times to count on FR but the anti-Bush people just keep putting the same 'points' up over and over and then try to claim that if one specific member doesn't waste his time debating the whole gang then this somehow 'proves' the anti-Bush gang victorious and correct in every assertion they care to make as they attack our President.
Wrong, but clever in a smarmy, Clintonian way.
Of course people will make judgements. In fact, they already have. President Bush has 75% of the American people that are satisfied with his performance, an unheard of number in modern politics. Bush has near total support from registered Republicans, like me. You can say what you wish and complain until 2004 for all anyone really cares, but you are part of a distinct, whiny minority that never liked, wanted or accepted G.W. Bush as President, just like the liberals. No matter what the man does, you would still whine and name-call. That's crystal clear from the debating we see on these Bush-specific threads.
I'm totally out front with the fact that I'm pro-Bush, pro-Republican. I have reservations about some policies and programs Bush has pushed or bills he's signed, sure, but I also do not expect any politician to follow my personal agenda 100%, as you clearly do. That's naive.
I - and many others - can comprehend that politics is the art of the compromise as well as a ton of PR in this day and age. It's also gamesmanship, which G.W. Bush has proven to be very, very good at. The political 'purity' you demand from Bush or any politician will never, ever arrive. Get over it. That you insist on having this perfect president, always pleasing you 100% is absurd but then to insist that anyone who doesn't share your personal worldview is beneath you somehow is just ego-fed arrogance and often a cloak for someone who is really anti-everything and a sourpuss about life, in this case translated to politics.
Go for it, sport, but don't think you can post this junk on FR and get away clean with the never-ending anti-Bush rants. As I stated in my original post on this thread - ignored by you but what the thread was about - the O'Reilly 'story' was simply slander with no basis in fact and you use it as a club to beat the man you love to hate, President Bush. You should be above this but clearly are not. So be it.
Yes, let the readers decide, indeed.
