Senior White House Advisor Karl Rove has sworn off the concept of 'Triangulating' his fellow Republicans, the approach to Congress once synonymous with the Clinton Adminstration. [and their top advisor Dick Morris]
At a closed door House Republican leadership retreat last Wednesday, Rove repeatedly stressed that the concept of political 'triangulation' does not work and said that President George W. Bush would not alienate House Republicans by moving to the center, leaving them isolated in efforts to rally the party's political base.
Republican GOP Leadership aides said that the comments worked to reassure lawmakers after the President appeared to burnish his 'compassionate conservative' credentials in last weeks State of the Union address by calling on Congress to dedicate more money to combat AIDS in Africa and develop hydrogen powered cars.
<< I plan to stick with Bush unless he doesn't something unforgiveable, such as...oh, I don't know >>
<< ...having an intern under the desk, >>
With all the homosexuals he's filling Washington with, we probably don't have to worry about that - I hope.
<< selling secrets to communists, >>
No, he doesn't sell our things to the Communists, he GIVES them.
Bush’s pick sails through Senate despite China, Lippo connections
© 2001 WorldNetDaily.com
WASHINGTON - The Senate unanimously confirmed Elaine Chao as labor
secretary yesterday, placing at the helm of the agency that deals with
labor issues a good friend of Chinese leader Jiang Zemin -- a nomination
that shocked dissident Harry Wu, a critic of Beijing's forced labor camps.
X-Poser: It turns out that Chou's husband, Senator Mitch McConnell was one
of the Republican leaders who smothered congressional investigations into
the Chinese treachery. Why would he do that, you might ask? Because he,
like Slick Willy, was a RECIPIENT of ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS from
COMMUNIST CHINESE agent John Huang.
X-Poser: They force down our plane, kidnap our personnel, refuse to return
our property, demand our apology, let Russia examine our technology, and in
return we give them permanent favored trade status, let them host the
Olympics, and show them how to take over Taiwan. How is this different from
Clinton giving them our secrets for bribes? I'll tell you how - at least
Clinton got something for his treason, Bush is giving away the farm on BOTH
ends of the deal! Even Clinton wasn't that Slick!

Military Exercise With China
Writing in the Washington Times for June 15th, defense and national
security reporter Bill Gertz revealed that Communist Chinese military
forces were participating as observers in a U.S. mine-sweeping exercise.
The Exercise was approved by Bush Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
US pays off China quietly
Remember when China demanded $1 MILLION for returning our plane
that they stole and dismantled? And we offered $35,000 which they called an
insult?
Well, Bush and Rumsfeld's Dep't of Defense gave Lockheed-Martin
almost $6 MILLION to take care of the plane. An unspecified amount was
given to China, but they were not insulted as Lockheed officials "were
writing checks left and right" according to a US gov't official, noted in a
June South China Morning Post.
Reverse prostitution
This is just sickening. Not only was the accident China's fault,
not only did Bush issue a apology for it, not only did he reward China by
teaching them how to defeat our sea-mines, but now he is PAYING them for
the incident!!!!
At least when Clinton played the harlot with Commie China - THEY
PAID HIM. Here we have Bush playing the whore - and PAYING CHINA!
I am thoroughly embarrassed and disgusted with Bush. I would rather lose supporting Howard Phillips than *win* (ha!
if you call that winning you aere crippled too high for crutches!) with a compromiser like Bush.

Check for EP-3 Costs En Route to Beijing
By Lawrence Morahan CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer August 10, 2001
(Add: identifies reported amount U.S. will pay China)
The Pentagon (CNSNews.com) - A U.S. government check for an undisclosed
amount is on its way to Beijing to cover costs surrounding the mid-air
collision between a U.S. Navy surveillance aircraft and a Chinese fighter,
Pentagon officials said Thursday.
Here is the result of your President playing the whore for China
earlier:

Chinese intercepts
China's military has been increasing aerial intercepts of U.S.
reconnaissance aircraft flying in international airspace along China's
coast, according to defense officials.
Is that enough?
None yet because they have not consonlidated the power. Never judge a "feel good" law on its immediate imput, rather, judge what damage it can do in the future when the gestapo and fatherland laws are really going to impact freedoms. I repeat the question: Why does section 802 have no expiration date and the rest of the law does? Read it and judge for yourself especially clausess 5A, 5B (i) & (ii)
and 5C. Even tho the morons in congress did not read it, Americans should and get it changed poste haste or these clauses will stymie all demonstrations and speeches against
a government policy in the future. I believe it is going to be the legal justification that the New World Order needs.

"all this authority (fast track, line-item, war on terror) we are giving him will pass on to President Hillary in 2008?"
BINGO!
<< The "Tree" would have stolen our liberties on a faster more brazen approach. >>
I disagree. He might have TRIED, but at least the Republicans in Congress would have fought and OPPOSED the Tree.
If Tree tried to get us into the ICC, they would have strongly REJECTED it, just like they did when Slick tried it.
When the Tree tried to close the gun-show "loophole", the Republicans would have thwarted him, just like they did to Clinton.
When Tree tried to name homosexuals to federal posts, Congress would have nixed them, just like they did to Slick.
But when Bush tries to do the SAME THINGS, the "conservative Republicans" suddenly flip-flop and SUPPORT the same things they OPPOSED.
I don't know of anything except psychedelic drugs that cause such irrational, contradictory behavior.
<< There is no candidate on God's earth that can satisfy the "my way or the hiway" faction of the right. >>
That's not true. I voted for Howard Phillips. If the Republicans ran an honest conservative candidate, I'd vote for him. I voted for several local Republicans, because they are genuine conservatives.
A candidate doesn't have to be perfect to get my support, but he at least has to be on our side. Any honest look at Bush shows he is implementing the liberal agenda on virtually every major issue. If he was a Democrat, you guys would be raking him over the coals for his record - and deservedly so, but because he CALLS himself a Republic, you give him a free-pass, just like the Republicans in Congress are doing.
"I don't know of anything except psychedelic drugs that cause such irrational, contradictory behavior."
Bottom line, it's a very serious lack of personal integrity and honor that is really at the core of these lowlifes.
When the indefensible is defended, then the defenders are no different than the snakes in the last administration.
