Silly me. I guess that merely changing a word in an unconstitutional bill gets Bush off the hook for being a liar. What a country!

Once again Jesse opens mouth and removes all doubt. The McCain bill has been re-written 4 times in the last 10 years. Bush put forward a CFR proposal February of 2000 that laid out what he wanted, all items except paycheck protection are incorporated into the present bill. Issue ad bans were not even a part of the debate because until Olympia Snowe added it it was not there. At least do the research before you make your claims. The GOP had successfully blocked CFR for 8 years and to keep it away from Clinton but decided to roll over and let it pass even when Bush told them face to face, Don't count on a veto.

You know, Lucius, getting along with you is all the proof I need to show me I'm a reasonably intelligent person. Even when we don't agree, we're not nasty to each other.

Roller Derby?

As my brother likes to say to my niece:
"You'll make some lucky guy really miserable some day."

Good night and warmest regards.

Well, all in all, I prefer the CFR wars to the Drug wars. LOL

[Howlin]

Well, you can. Just find ANY article about George W. Bush; it's a guaranteed thread buster this week.......as a matter of fact, even any post you can make where one of the first posters can reply "Well, this does it for me, Bush has lost my vote" will do!

[Howlin]

If you were the guy, I'd enjoy my work.

[Reagan Man]

I didn't say you were aiming any ad hominem attacks at me. I was just giving you fair warning.

[Howlin]

Now how could I possibly answer that with any certainty?

Well, well.......isn't THAT interesting. You are telling us you cannot possibly tell us to this very day whether you ever went back on a promise -- which is the very same thing you're crucifying George W. Bush for.

Your Honor, I rest my case.

I don't think I've posted a 400+ thread since the 'purge'.

Which purge were you referring to? When I start writing my lists it is better that I keep them straight.

[rbmillerjr]

making some guy miserable??? Hey that could describe marriage.

[Texasforever]

LOL Better class of people that's for sure>

[Howlin]

LOL!

[Neets]

Now it's getting nasty..i'm outta here for good.

[fightinJAG]

Wow, no need to get the blood pressure up! I'm just trying to inject a few appropriate facts here and there. Do you know that the changes were not substantive? Do you know for a fact that Bush did not get any of the changes he demanded?

[Torie]

Bush has "lost" the same 100 votes from the same 100 folks 100 times. If this keeps up, he will lose Florida next time, assuming they all live there. I suspect maybe 20 of them really voted for Bush the last time.

[Howlin]

If the President signed a law forbidding you from criticizing him, would you consider his signature to be consistent with his oath?

Actually, the first thing I'd say is "That's unconstitutional and the Supreme Court is going to strike it down."

[Howlin]

I can name 100 people right off that will vote for Bush next time who voted for Gore last time.

I'm not the least bit worried.

[Howlin]

Heck, no! I don't have to be married to them; ask TLBSHOW.........LOL.
