As usual, we came to the same conclusions at the same time. LOL

"I would have said it was a mistake to call on so many assholes in one press conference and gone to the next guy."

POST OF THE NIGHT! Thanks....and good night!

[cyncooper]

Yes, personal attacks. You've made a few and in the post I pointed to you started off with

You're being ridiculous

[LizardQueen]

He said", Ossama Bin Laden is responsible for 9-11 and no one else".

I agree, that was one of his best lines. But I also think the hemming and hawing didn't come across well, before that. Say it at the outset, say it strong, say that "I was in office only 8 months before Sept 11 and did the best I could with the information available so I have nothing to apologize for!"

"Clinton had a pretty good delivery, but Janet Reno in her unbridled stupidity today, slipped up and let the whole world know Clinton wasn't "on top of things" when it came to foreign policy."

That's an understatement. What were those Clinton years again, a "vacation from history" as someone put it?

[nopardons]

I'll be well rested soon;just not tonight. LOL

[Torie]

LOL. You would never make it as a political advisor, or even as a Rasputin.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I've worked hard to get where I am today as well, and I don't have to thank Clinton for it, even if he were responsible for my getting a job, which he wasn't, of course. You're just having that usual knee jerk reaction, when you lose the job, you blame someone who had nothing to do with it in the first place, which should be you. Rather than pointing your finger outward, try pointing it inward for a change. Liberals spend time blaming everyone else for their losses, Conservatives take responsibility for their own actions.

[sinkspur]

You're one to speak. Try stopping your own uncalled for, unprovoked vile attacks and insinuations.

I knew that would get under your lily-white skin, Joe.

You give, you get. That's how it works around here.

You might want to change your camo underwear more than once a week.

[Havoc]

Uh, you really need to go back and read. You also need to get a personality transplant and give your old one to the jackass you coopted it from. If my bosses were so upset with me and my performance, I'd not have just gotten top marks and another raise I didn't ask for or even as much as hint that I wanted. Keep digging, If you dig far enough into that hole eventually you will either wise up or you will find something you can use to justify your jackass behavior. I'm a republican and longtime here. And I'm shocked that people like you represent this party. But it's a sick world and you're happy, right.

[Frank T]

"LOL"

Weak.

[HitmanLV]

OK, you win $10 if Bush in the Rasmussen poll is both AHEAD and at 48 or better in the poll released on Friday.

So if he is leading 49-44, you win.

If he is behind 49-48 you lose

If he is at 48-48, you lose.

If he is at 46-46, you lose.

Is this fair? The only way to win is for him to be both at 48 and ahead. Fair? And I trust you, just post the poll result to me anytime friday or saturday morning.

And please realize I think Dubya will win in Nov and Republicans will do well nationwide. This is only a bet that the speech didn't help in tonight. I WILL NOT bet against Dubya in the long run! That's a suckerbet! ;-)

Please accept or post a counterproposal.

[txrangerette]

Glad you said that...this man is
responsibly obsessed with the job
& the office. People are free to
nitpick him to death, but I am
free to say it's wrong of them. I
believe in gratitude to God for
this President & prayers on his
behalf.

He & his team are amazingly good.

Thanks..

[Havoc]

Uhuh. or maybe you'd prefer 'yeah right'.

[Ichneumon]

Bush is asked why he failed. Bush did not give a justifiable position. This will sink him.

Clue for the clueless: When someone asks how you might have failed, and you can't think of any failures to list, that's a GOOD thing.

[cyncooper]

If I get a chance to see it again I'll be sure to take notes and send you an itemized list.

It is customary here to present examples to back up opinion. For example, during the press conf. there were contemporaneous notes and commentary presented which presents and buttresses the alternate POV.

[Petronski]

You seem to be shocked by quite a lot.

[Havoc]

Evidently illiteracy runs in your ilk. Try again.

[nopardons]

Thanks, Girlfriend. :-)

The president did well tonight,IMHO,and I'n so glad I got home in time to see him. :-)
