I don't think that he actually agrees to that form of government, because the Mexican government only cares about taking care of the people who have money. President Bush wants to give money to poor people.

correction, the president wants to give OTHER PEOPLE'S money to poor people... in this case MINE. In that aspect... he's a wealth redistributing socialist. Funny that you mentioned poor in Mexico. He seems set on letting them in here carte blanche, contrary to our nation's best interest and immigration law... and the will of the majority of Americans, whilst labelling the patriots who want the law enforced, 'vigilantes'. Disgusting.


Gee if he announces Jesus the democrats will fall over dead trying to call for the separation of church and state.

WRONG... NOT if he does it to raise support for wealth redistribution, like Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton.


Appear to live morally? Hmm, you dont know him very well, do you?

Being personally moral does not mean one is being moral in taking MONEY from one and giving it to others, after campaigning on the devolution of tax and power from the feds to the states and individuals. In fact, that could be considered LYING... and is arguably JUST as immoral, per se, as getting a quickie hummer in the closet.


Yea, he spends big, so does every politician.

And which is what we elected him to NOT DO, because it is what our enemies the socialists aka, democrats have done since FDR and his grand theft 'national' program.


He already gave us tax cuts. What do you want?

Actually HE did not GIVE us anything. We elected him with the mandate to return what was ours, which he has not done. It is after all, OUR money. And he has not gone to the mat to make the miniscule tax cuts PERMANENT... or any effort to cut them further and do so PERMANENTLY... but he HAS spent a lot more money, at larger rates and increase levels, than his democrat, immoral and redistributionist predecessor... Willie the Sink.


He is not socialist.

Actualy freeper friend.... he meets the definition very nicely. 'the needs of the many' and "from each according to his ability to each according to his need" are concepts of marx and lennon.

better than lurch. heck yes.
but realistically he is a big spending redistributionist socialism policy maker, superintending the financial collapse of our nation.

You are clearly in denial. But will wake up soon enough, because we are past the event horizon, aka, the point of no return.

You expect the enemy to laugh at Bush's jokes?

The whole thing for the reporters is to trip up Bush and make him look crooked, dumb, or mean....

I don't think they did any of the above, so IMHO, success!!

Why thank you. A rather pleasant visual!

Did you ever see "Judgement at Nuremburg"? The guy who played a Nazi on trial (Col. Klinks character) is refusing to recognize the court, and there is an MP behind him with an M1...you really think he is going to rifle butt him in the back of the head.

I thought of that too, but much too...totalitarian!

I am saying simply the American people overwhelmingly support SS and don't want it to be done away with. A president cannot lead people where they absolutely don't want to go.

Sigh, and therein lies our problem. You don't see that under a federal republic our leaders are not there to please the electorate. They're there to do a specific job. Even if that job means they will lose the next election. Social Security is one of those situations if we are ever to begin to return to a limited federal government

Thank you, YaYa. I'm afraid my patience was wearing thin, and I assumed he/she did not understand how a press conference worked. After each question, he/she lamented on how The President ignored The Border issue, although it was never asked.

Thanks for your links, but I have a feeling that they will not be enough for itsinthebag.

I can care less about your "thin patience". And I do know how press conferences operate, and neither the press nor the president are going about it right. I consider Mr. Bush a decent enough man, but my word, he needs to take the bull by the horns and bring these subjects up rather than waiting for the press to ask, which they never will.

Wow, ABC is the only network to stick with the President.

They initially were going to be the only Net to carry it from start to finish. Good to see they honored their guarantee.
