Just the headline
With Bush's cave to the environmental whackos it looks like he will be doing Kyoto piece by piece over the new few years.

Bush has proposed a logical and restrained policy toward the study of global warming. He has refused to become involved in Kyoto because it harms America. He kills terrorists because they harm America.
My kind of guy.
Well said...and, me too.
Demonstrable bs. One raised taxes, the other cut them.
My kind of guy"
My vote for quote of the day
Lying doesn't improve your arguments.
"Woe indeed."
Yeah, it's fine here.. hope you are doing well also Mr. JWalsh.
Read my lips...he also said he would reduce government spending. He said he would reduce the size of government. Now he's setting up the one world order his dad always wanted. No wonder his poll numbers say the democrats love him. Why wouldn't they?
One poster accused Rush of losing whatever skill he had at understanding the political zeitgeist and the political context.... and....never having anything uplifting to say, just whining all the time.
It's about time we all started whining (and preferably loudly and long), because those who hold the federal (executive, legislative, and judicial) reins in this country are not listening to those of us who know what their power is supposed to entail (and where it should end). Not only are they not performing that relatively small list of services which they are called to do, but they are, instead, doing all manner of things which they are forbidden to do by the very document which serves as their blueprint.
I stopped listening to Rush many months ago, so am not really familiar with his latest pet peeves, favorite sports stories, cigar recommendations, or causes du jour. But, from the sounds of it, I may have to begin listening to him again (or at least begin re-testing the E.I.B waters).
As for Mr. Limbaugh losing whatever skill he had at understanding the political zeitgeist and the political context....There's entirely too much political everything being considered these days (zeitgeist and context notwithstanding). It's time to put political considerations aside and start focusing on two concepts....and two concepts only: (1) reclaiming a consitutional republic form of government, and (2) survival.
No more sitting back and stroking one's figurative beard and deciding what the (so-called) civilized thing to do is. America is concerning herself with (so-called) civilized behavior moreso than she is with her own, and the free world's, survival.
Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Egypt, North Korea, Saudi Arabia....political correctness, concern for world opinion, the practice of global civility (and maybe even the valuing of human life and liberty) are not a part of their lexicon. So, at least during these most perilous times, neither can they (other than the life and liberty thing) be a part of ours.
This country is desperately in need of Reagan-esque leadership (the kind that places America first, and governs based on right rather than politically correct, or politically expedient, decision making). Such leadership is not forthcoming from G. W. Bush.
The man is seeking a negotiated peace with people who believe their destiny is to kill those who do not share their religious (*cough*) views, and who will not stop the killing until their neighbor state (who merely wants to be left alone) is eradicated.
The man is preaching conservative governance, and then supporting or signing every unconstitutional/pork-laden/liberty-destroying/dollar-hungry bill that is brought to his attention or laid upon his desk. Not one veto since taking office a year and a half ago. Not one.
All one needs to do is take a good look at Bush's stance on the (either already signed by him into law, or pending) education bill....farm bill....partiot act....homeland security....campaign finance reform....immigration.... federalization of airport security....healthcare entitlements....Hardly anything contained in any of them that promotes government the likes of which the founders envisioned. And lots of big-government spending and regulating which will result in increased federal power over the states and individual citizens, the greatest increase in federal government spending in history, and more incremental loss of God-given, constitutionally-insured liberties for all of us.
I'm not (nor are most of the other 'whiners' on this thread) a Bush hater. I voted for him, and will again, if he once again represents the lesser of two evils. Those on this thread who are using that term fail to see the difference between hating a man and voicing the fact that you are being betrayed by him.
My friend (he who alerted me to this thread :) calls Bush's political philosophy of governance 'stealth conservatism' --- it's there, but you can't see it, touch it, taste it, nor feel it. I think he's got it nailed.
I came back cause I missed you..
It only took so long because I was holding out for the Richard Simmons "perky" search team.
(hope you are well CMS)
:)
Oh yes. He let us buy that new muffler. Praise Bush - NOT!
I am guessing you speak for yourself or primarily bushbots in general on this issue. I would agree that bush is light years ahead of you know who...
But consider: if he signed cfr that he did not supposedly agree with... and signed off on issuing this report, that he does not agree with... and tells Israel to "get out now" when he really means "go to it IDF..." then he is developing a really nasty habit of authenticating what he believes or knows to lies and distortion. That is NOT a good thing. Though at times it may be necessary, I suppose.
We had that in a president last time. I had hoped we had put it behind us for good. I did not want any more clintonizing of reality for political purposes. I thought this election we were getting the guy who said.. "I am comfortable in my OWN skin... I don't have to check which way the wind blows to see who I am every day..." and such.
If he is authenticating lies and positions he disagrees with, he is certainly doing what he said he would not. If he agrees with these laws (CFR) and actually supports the findings of these reports (EPA), we are even worse off than if he is lying. Our leader should not be basing his national policy decisions on lies and deceptions.
I lean towards his being politically disingenuous. Seems like the disingenuous "read my lips" and "no new taxes" syndrome is creeping up on him pretty severely right now.
That is not to mention the "for us or against us" invitations to the murderers ("we will make no distinction between terrorists and the nations that support them") of 9-11 fame, the saudi leadership, to crawford for barbeque!
You may not like extreme right wing folks, but bush could never have gotten elected without US. He HAS been a sellout recently dave. He can do better and he should.
I AM disappointed.
I am further disappointed in the number of Freepers who are not. What's it gonna take? Another skyscraper or worse?
