Oh come on. Prescription drugs were a democrat program and Bush merely undermined them and got rewarded with some votes from seniors.

Forget about getting help for our troops. The Dems are now flush with "victory" ( no matter WHAT Air America is saying ) and are going to treat the president and ALL of his wishes as though they, not he, made any and all decisions.

Yep, another deal done sub rosa...led, I might add, by that pusillanimous Manchurian Candidate, McQueeg.

"Nopardons dishes it out and some can't take it because they can't out debate her. Too freakin' bad."

She's out-debated with great regularity. What are you, her relative, attempting to be chivalrous, not in touch with reality?

I'm beginning to think that the president either doesn't know HOW to twist arms, or thinks it's beneath him.

It is an unwritten rule on FR, that YOU ping the person you are talking about.

And that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with whether I "dish it out" or not. And unlike you, I can also "take it"; which you are incapable of doing.

I think he knows the democrats well... give McCain and his groupies this one, the nuke is coming... Bush knows democrats aren't trustworthy, but McCain doesn't, and he's going learn that fact the hard way.

Standing by for shock and awe...lol.

Much like the Democrats, you underestimate him at every turn.

You've been here long enough to know that that IS a posting rule . No, I didn't make it up. It was in place before I joined FR.

And though this is "public", there ARE posting rules...some of which don't appear under the box we all use to types replies in, but which are still part of the rules here.

Okay then, let's just not care at all, stop bothering to be interested in and involved in political matters and put on a "HAPPY FACE". Let's all pretend that we won a HUGE victory tonight. Yep, that's the ticket.

La la la la la...

I think that Laura Ingraham put it best tonight.

She doesn't know what to do.

You want to change the liberal composition of Capitol Hill, so you elect Republicans.

Then, you realize that the U.S. Senate's agenda is set by feckless "moderates," so you campaign for more conservative Republicans and a larger GOP governing majority.

Then, you discover to your horror that the same tiresome middling leftist policies are being enacted, so you exhort a more conservative leadership to take the reins of power.

Still, the same unpalatable results.

I truly am at a loss.

:(

Only in your dreams, sweetums.

And when I was in school, there was NO grade inflation, so no matter WHAT grades YOU were handed, they aren't comparable to the grades and knowledge I earned. :-)

Nopardons is very bright, not a drunk, loyal, a great conversationalist off this board and is rarely if ever out debated except maybe by her husband.

I am not her relative.

I am a Mississippian living in Nashville. (male)

She's a New Englander...more or less. (feline)

But I know brains and superb recall when I see it.

Those who wish to take her on and get their noses bloodied shoulda rethought that before they dove in.

Flaglady dear, i have conversed with so many folks here over the years that I can't recall it all but this reply is more about putting in a good word for NP than attacking you.

Why do that? I'm a realist. Bush took a hit tonight. McCain TKO'd him.
