President Bush: "I'm sorry I abandoned all my conservative principles and cost my party, and my country, a very important election. I am officially a lame-duck."
In truth it's evident he really has very few Conservative principles.
What principle that he abandoned? He ran on the platform of compassionate conservatism, which resulted in No Child Left Behind. If we understand 'economic conservatism' as 'free-market' idea, having cheap labor from neighboring countries, and selling port administration power to anybody who is willing to pay the highest are not contradictary with 'conservative principles'. It is when we combine 'nationalism' with 'free-market' and call it 'conservative' that we see them differently.
He's as good as impeached next year.
Bush just might add - "Since it appears that this election was a referendum on me and my administration, both Dick Cheney and I will resign our offices as soon as the new speaker is sworn into the House! We would like to congratulate President Pelosi on being the first woman president!"
Today, the following will happen:
1) Libby gets a pardon
2) Sadr City will be reduced to ambers
3) oh by the way, we killed Zarahiri and Bin Laden last week.
The people that sat out this election in protest are more to blame than GW. You, yourself are now more at risk from terrorism because Pelosi runs Congress now. Blame can be pointed at conservatives that constantly bashed our party when we wer eat war, like Michelle Malkin, Rich Lowery, Bill Kristol, Michael Savage, Laura Ingram, et all. The first rule in war is not to let the enemy separate you and out flank you. Well conservatives did because of disunity.
PS. Forget about that fence it isn't going to happen.
"President Bush: 'I'm sorry I abandoned all my conservative principles'..."
What "conservative principles" did he first have to abandon?
... Not happy to say "we told you so."
Bush: "I have just signed an aggreement with Mexico and Canada to become a super-state. The elections mean nothing."
