Face it, ma'am.

Yup, we disagree. Excuse me while I go shake my pom-poms for our CinC in a time of war. Do look me up in a year or two and we'll discuss the news again.

[patriciaruth]

You don't trust Bush. I do, because he and I both look at the forest; while you only see the trees.
That's my view and I'm stickin' to it.
Only the future will tell whether he and I are taking the correct course to get where we want to go in the future.
I'm sure you are convinced the present is the only reality, and of course, in the present you are always right.

Your post above makes the point far more eloquently than I could have.

As I and many others (here particularly) predicted, Karl Rove's ill-advised attempt to triangulate from the supposed right is failing miserably.

These 'experts' left one huge thing out of their calculation...the fact that the conservatives are actually driven by their constitutional and moral principles, unlike the Dems, who barely made a peep when Slick signed off on the Republican agenda items (that were contrary to the Dems pseudo-principles) for purely political reasons.

The effects of this decision are going to be felt in Republican politics for many years.

[EternalVigilance]

Without control of the Senate, we have to fight a guerrilla war...the kind where you don't march in lines in red uniforms straight into enemy gunfire.

No need to march anywhere when the General surrenders the entire army to the enemy...all you have to do is stack arms, and march off to the camp.

By the way, many of us are working our hearts out to regain control of the Senate. This decision does nothing but hurt that effort.

And it gets tossed out by SCOTUS.

[hchutch]

I recommend you keep at it. Letting the Dems keep the Senate and re-take the House will only make matters worse.

This is the most entertaining thing I've watched since Clinton's worshippers were presented with his admission that he had gotten a hummer from Monica.

Politicians' fans are the same no matter which party they prefer. W's "strategery" is to quietly knife every conservative in the back over the course of the next two and a half years. Thank God that's all the time he has to do it.

Your list isn't worth much being a freeper member for only three days. You probably work for the guy in the basement where you belong.

Try another pair of reading glasses or a calendar. This is 2002. Jim Robinson set up my membership himself last year as I didn't know HTML and hadn't managed to join when I found the FReepers during the post election fight in 2000.
I bought tickets to the FReeper Count the Silverware Inaugural Ball, but couldn't get a cab in the sleet to take us to it after President and Mrs. Bush did their turn at the Ronald Reagan building Inaugural Ball. Went to some Fresno FReeps for the troops last year before my health took another bad turn.

Total volunteer. No basement. Contributed gobs of money and my time to get rid of Clinton/Gore and put an honest and decent man in the Presidency. I'm still waving pom-poms for him. I didn't vote for a clone. I wanted someone more savvy than me to make the tough calls.

You do know what year this is...right?

Back to minding my own biz.

[Grit]

Sure, I give you an hour and a half to correct chainsaw...and then you beat me by a minute. Sheesh. :o)

[patriciaruth]

Well, thanks for your remarks, but I have chores to do. As no one is changing their minds and all have spoken their minds, I am bidding you all farewell on this thread.

And it gets tossed out by SCOTUS.

If it gets tossed out by SCOTUS (preferably 9-0), that's a fine thing. Bush still signed it, however.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I hope that these fans, at least, asked for money to do what they're doing. Better to be a prostitute than give it away for free.

[Commie Basher]

Actually, the libbie-skankies don't have complete control of the media anymore, considering conservative talk-radio the internet, and the FOX News Channel, so things may not be as bad as feared in that department.

Not as bad as ten years ago. But where does MIDDLE AMERICA get their news from? How deep does Fox News and Rush and Matt Drudge penerate middle America, as opposed to the choir?

[Commie Basher]

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

And there's a war on!

So we must support Bush no matter what, or else Jones will come back!

[hchutch]

You realize the only way for SCOTUS to rule on something is if it is a law? They do not give advisory opinions.

Then again, what do facts like that matter to you? You didn't get your political suicide charge, so you deicded to run off and have a temper tantrum, and forget the consequences.

[Twodees]

Ma'am if you're gullible enough to support anything a president does simply because we are at war, you should stop voting. You clearly don't have the discernment required for participation in the process.

[Twodees]

This is really hilarious. Now you people are trying to tell us that Bush can sign anything into law and as long as the SCOtUS may possibly review it someday, then he did just fine. What was the itching hurry on this piece of dreck? If Bush saw problems in the bill he had the power to veto it.

You either don't understand the form of government we have or you don't care in the least how it gets perverted as long as the right social club has ins at the moment.

[Texasforever]

Ok expert. Should Bush be impeached for enforcing the Brady bill?
