BUSH TO SEEK BIG BUDGET INCREASE FOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS... Laura Bush plans to announce the request -- for the largest increase in two decades -- on Thursday... Developing...

[GeronL]

It sure drives us crazy... all this spending

[GeronL]

Everyone, everyone on this thread

haha..LOL.. is this the same Sabertooth?? =o)

For me it's about judges. I want to make sure Bush appoints as many judges as possible. Those in CA who are upset about illegal immigration can thank judges for many of their problems.

Yeah, it's not like Texas is being completely over run with illegals....You betcha. Sure.

[TheConservator]

Maybe.

I also think that, say, Al Gore or Ted Kennedy do most of what they do because they sincerely think it is the right thing to do.

So what? I don't support them for that reason. And I will not support this.

There is no two ways around this. From any angle, this is STUPID! And I do not support stupidity.

[FreeReign]

I'm sure none of them are getting in now.

I'm sure that they are getting in, and that they're sitting around twiddling their thumbs and watching Oprah.

Some twit made the comment that we could control Kerry with a Republican congress.

That twit was me. And that little 2 to 5 percent will turn the election.

Listen, fact is there isn't one blank to fill in. How about 20 or so? This is just the last straw, after CFR, Medicare, etc.

Boosting the NEA, with a major announcement to boot, is the best way for Bush to tell conservatives to go f##k off. Well, if Bush wants it that way, I can tell you right now that millions will go do that on election day instead of voting for him.

That's not my opinion, that's fact. All sorts of Bush defenders are posting on this thread that they have changed their minds--take William Creel, for example. I, for one, have never even thought of advocating sitting the election out until now, even if I have been rather hard on Dubya in recent weeks.

The posters here are a microcosm not of the country, but of the conservative movement. Their lack of enthusiasm and now outright antipathy may just doom Bush in what should have been a slam-dunk election.

We can't afford a liberal like Kerry in the Oval Office. We just CAN'T.

You're right . we barely survived the Clinton years .. why anyone would want to go back and redo that .. God only knows

[Sabertooth]

Oh ok .. sorry for not understanding

Well, it's to be expected when dealing with humorless, third-party, spawn of Satan types.

Hello South Philadelphia!

[luvbach1]

These aren't just Bush-haters--everyone's becoming a Bush-hater.

But remember, the original "Bush-haters" hate him for being ultra-conservative. They really, lol, do.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

From any angle, this is STUPID! And I do not support stupidity.

President Kerry is stupidity, and you're tacitly (or not-so-tacitly) supporting that.

[Mo1]

LOL!!!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Are you suggesting that Federal expenditures on propaganda during WWII justify Federal expenditures on NEA today? That is simply nonsense. How old are you? You seem very naive.

[gatorbait]

That twit was me

Good of you to cop to that. The rest of what you have to say I've heard ad nauseum, and frankly, it impresses me less each time I hear it. Enjoy your bile broth.

[GeronL]

I think victoryovertheleft has been ZoTTeD or something

[deport]

Is this a part of the nondiscretionary 4% increase?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Er, Hamilton and Lincoln were Federalists.

[GeronL]

If you were planning to give any money to the moderate GOP, give it to a conservative candidate like John Armor instead.

=o) (I sound like a campaign commercial)

see tagline

[Mo1]

What's wrong with South Philadelphia?

*L* .. you're in trouble now Saber

Hint of advice .. protect your knee caps ;0)
