Mr Bush gets up in the morning and pulls his pants on just like you do. He is mortal. I trust him in most important matters but he has failed me on one or two. He is mortal. Just needs to be swayed from time to time. He is definately ten steps up on Mr. Kerry. (Damn I said the name that was never to be said) but he still has to remain in touch with those who made that little manuever called "voting". On immigration GW is out of touch with his electorate. He is in touch with major corporations' USA. He keeps it up he is going to hurt his GOP Senators big time. No BS, fact. They know it even if he doesn't. Did the house give anyone a clue?
We're on the LIVE thread now for the SOTU Address, if you'd like to join us?

I just posted the stats from the DOJ website.
Bush has been awful on immigration. What is the point of fighting in Iraq and letting everyone in across the Mexican border. I won't vote for another Bush again and hope that Jeb not considering it because he would lose. Everyone knows the Bushs' have a soft spot for illegal Mexicans and National Security comes in second to illegals on their list.
" We're all the base, it's just that the "purist" are trying to push out the rest of us."
Well, I guess I'm one of the "purists" and we do not agree on who's trying to push whom out. The way we see it, it's the Hispandering GOP Big Tent party-over-principle types who are pushing the conservatives out. We have gotten the message, however. And we do know the way out.
Big mistake by the way, alienating and excluding 30+% of the total base. Going to make electing RINOs even tougher. Check with Ken Mehlman and ask him how the donations are coming along, and how many RNC/2006 membership cards have been returned cut in half.
Sad, but that's what happens when the GOP Big Tent decides it can do without conservatives. Now it may have to.
Actually, I put my panty hose on first. Hope he skips that step. My own personal feeling is that I voted for him holding my nose, there was just no other choice. I know he's a mortal, and I pray for him daily. I have faith that he's doing the best he can, it's just not good enough right now. I also feel there is a big house cleaning needed in Congress. I'm fed up with all of them. Seriously thinking 3rd party.
Try not to overinflate your numbers, even if you do need to do that to make yourself feel not quite so lonely.

Perhaps it's you who needs to do some checking; donations and money on hand are WAY over the top.
remember alito would not have happened without the total rejection of meirs by the conservative base + pundits.
As a "citizen reporter" you surely must be aware that Mrs. S probably wrote this well before it was published on her website?
Not that I would doubt that the inimitable, irrepressible, First Lady of Conservatism would've held it back even if she had written it only this morning.
God bless Phyllis Schlafy, for she proves that the Left does not have a monopoly on ill-behaved, shrewish, unfeminine women...nor Milquetoast men.
Exactly right. I have 2 boys I care about very much, one already in Iraq, one going back for the 2nd time. Are they wasting their efforts? What is GWB thinking by spending our national treasure there, and letting the same people in the back door! We've had enough Bushes. Time for new blood.
I still proudly wear those battle scars. Miers was the worst possible choice. Alito was second on my list, and kudo's to the president on a great associate justice.
wow i was about to post exactly that!!!!!!
:D
Did it ever dawn on anyone that Bush doesn't think all Mexicans are trying to take over America and/or destroy it? Maybe that's why he isn't for shooting them all as they try to cross the border.
Phyllis Schlaffly is a brilliant woman but she is too often willing to throw out the baby with the bath water. Bush is a practical conservative; building a fence and putting the military on it as well as deporting the million+ illegals isn't practical. He is about tax cuts, a stronger military, and judicial restraint...all practical and all accomplished. If this type of rhetoric takes flight in the "grassroots" movement, Eagle Forum and the like are going to get us a dem in 08 and we're going to lose seats in 2006. I'm not 100% satisfied with this president either -- but I want to win so I support him. No one is perfect but 43 has been an outstanding leader for conservative causes these last 5 years. And by the way, congratulations Justice Alito.
holy crap, this thread is generating a lot of posts :D
Hey right back to you, onyx. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Bump.
Yes, thank you, and you and yours too?
GOOD to see you.
Oh sure.......she wrote it a long time ago -- and it takes what, FIVE SECONDS to upload it?
Bogus.
"I still proudly wear those battle scars"
I remember :-D
