[deport]

Hold his feet to the fire? Hmm.........that sounds vaguely familiar.

Shouldn't that be 'feets'.......

Thanks, Soul Seeker. YES, Dubya got "out there" SO much that the peanut gallery did NOT want us to know. Tough NUTS, peanut gallery! LOL.

[OXENinFLA]

Drudge is wrong. Fox kept with it the whole way through.

I'm sure he means FOX TV not FOX NEWS.

[rlmorel]

That is encouraging news. I hope they hang him. No firing squad, no gas, no lethal injection. Hang him by the neck until dead.

[snugs]

What does your pay roll tax cover is it just for SS or does it include other things?

[Miss Marple]

Let me tell you, my husband once went on an interview trip to Indonesia, looking for work. I would have moved in a New York minute with him, but he didn't get the job.

I have a degree and went to work on a night shift at a factory taking catalogue orders for fat women's clothes. My husband with an engineering degree and an MBA wound up loading mail out at the airport.

Get off your rear and either move or find something to do. Quit blaming everyone else. Your future is in YOUR hands, unless you desire to be a victim.

[Bahbah]

That was a homerun folks.

FGS, Chrissy says he was on his game. My head can't take this. BTW, Andrea Mitchell's hair doesn't move. Good job, Mr. President, even while the whole thing is picked apart.

[Hank Rearden]

Lemme get this straight: You're claiming that "Bush and his ilk" have taken 80K in SS deductions in just the last 5 years that GWB has had the com, and you didn't lose ANY during the terms of The Bent One, Bush1 or Reagan?

No. Where did you get that?

You can't hang it all on GWB.

He's perpetuating the scam. He's continuing the lie that you can "fix" a Ponzi/pyramid scheme. They collapse. That's what scams do.

Bush desperately wants to keep it propped up long enough for the next politician to deal with, instead of being honest with the people who are being ripped off by the politicians.

His problem is that we know we're being ripped off by the politicians. And he's still blathering about it.

[apackof2]

Oh say it ain't so!"

Althought I know its true

[longtermmemmory]

Democrat infochik on FNC is RELUcTANTlY saying Bush has peeled off support.

Barnes said GWB NAILED private accounts onto the table.

This was an EXCELLENT conference.

[Spunky]

"I didn't hear the exact question but the tone that he used when he said Cheney's name wasn't pleasant at all. It was a slam to Cheney."

It had to do with the SS. I can't remember the exact wording, but it was to the effect would people with the kind of money Cheney makes still receive it or would their benefit be lower than someone who earned very little.

[veritas3]

Did everyone note that CBS and NBC cut it short, and gave there weak commentary, ABC did abit later, and FOX hung in there to the end. Thanks for FOX

[Txsleuth]

Thank you!

[DCPatriot]

Not the FOX affiliates. our local Channel 5 started The Simple Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.

[Ed_in_NJ]

Not once.

[hole_n_one]

Drudge is wrong. Fox kept with it the whole way through.

Are you referring to The FNC (FOX News Channel) or the FOX network?

[HankReardon]

Why would you want money hard earned by some one else?

[BigSkyFreeper]

I'm sure he means FOX TV not FOX NEWS.

Other way around. The FOX Broadcast dumped out of it at 9ET.
