Just the headline
Anyone whose screen name involves groveling before a politician has little standing to even comment on the nick chosen by another. FYI, I don't hate Bush. I'm critical of him and of the people who subscribe to a cult of celebrity for the hired help. You have no idea whether or not Bush is a "fine man". You've simply watched him on TV and subscribed to his cult.
BTW, I don't go to that ridiculous daily thread. I stumbled onto it once a few months after it started running and immediately saw what it is. I haven't checked it out since.
Here is a clue. When the President signs a bill, it applies to
people who didn't vote for him too.
For future refrence, I voted for Bush.
Then why worry? The free market will determine his fate.
By the way he is smart, and I bet he will have a show
for a longer period than Bush will be president.
I subscribe to the duopoly theory. IMHO, they're all singing off the same sheet of music and they're all cut from the same bolt of cloth. The Constitution matters nothing to either Klintoon or Dubya.
Criticizing the President and then getting news time on NBC news will probably woo a few liberal listeners into tuning in Rush, just to hear the President get bashed.
Sorry, bud, but Dan Quayle isn't the VP anymore. Those titles go with the job and aren't theirs anymore when they leave office. Would you call Clinton "President Clinton"? I wouldn't.
Yes, Congress passes a farm bill every five or so years. Any sitting president can veto such a bill and tell Congress the items he objects to. They then have the choice of amending the bill, withdrawing it or repassing it over his veto. What on earth do you mean that the veto is worthless except for what mileage it would give the other party? The veto is the president's tool for shaping legislation. If he doesn't use it, he can only be assumed to approve of the legsilation, pork and all.
It sounds to me as though you and Dan Quayle are the ones who haven't the foggiest clue about how our government is designed to work. These three cushion political bank shots you seem to admire have diddly to do with how Congress and the president are supposed to work and everything to do with political strategy (read dishonesty and subterfuge) and the use of that sort of strategy is what has destroyed our country.
i tried to make this point several times last night. yes, reasonable people CAN and do disagree. they can even see reality/facts differently. i can be influenced/persuaded with good logical argument. that is why i see no point in debating someone who resorts to personal attacks.
In case anyone needs to know why you boys are called the "stupid party" you just gave an excellent example.
but, but....aren't we all whackos, insane, nuts?? [/sarcasm]
The Supreme Court gives an opinion, and they are often wrong,
because they make political decisions, not Constitutional
decisions.
Do you have any doubt that the 2nd ammendant was to
protect your right to own firearms? Well the Supreme Court
put that right into jeopardy with their wrong headed decisions.
Not even respecting the President enough to wait for the entire story to be revealed but to begin bashing on the basis of something written in the Washington Post or the New York Times!
I guess ratings are more important than the security of our country. Pity!
Funny, how many would revere Reagan here, yet not follow his playbook on electoral and governance success.They'd rather listen to the green eyeshade LIBERAL Republicans,who will never cut your taxes and increase regulation, so you get the worst of both worlds.And, they lose.
Rush still maintains that, as a result of this report, "it's goodbye to science, hello to politics." The enviros will now claim that we "must regulate that human activity that causes global warming" and will be aided by the willing presstitutes. (The RATS can of course be expected to jump on that bandwagon as well.) Inotherwords, the parameters of the argument have now been changed, which was his original contention. The argument is no longer, "Is there global warming?" but "What do we do to stop global warming?"
End of report.
(BTW, I voted for President Bush and fervently supported him, so save that tune for the next victim, please.)
rush is making absolute sense!
