I apologize if I misquoted you in any way. Please feel free to point out where I was in error. Other than your words, what else can we make a determination of your positions on?
But based on what you say, and I am not a President Bush fan by any stretch, and I have brought up his complete lack of investment in getting his nominations through the liberal blockade on numerous occasions, what would any thinking person conclude?
A) Hate President Bush... Not dislike, hate. You voted for a socialist.
B) War is lost... I guess you haven't been reading lately.
C) Seem to disapprove of homeland security based on the purchase of a boat.
What I like about President Bush includes his appointment of the finest, absolutely the finest supreme court nominee's in my lifetime. He took an economy in recession and turned it into the greatest economy ever. He sticks up for his friends and has brought dignity back to the office. Lybia surrendered without a shot, he stuck to his guns regarding Korean whack job ILL, we haven't been attacked since 9/11, he exposed the UN for the frauds and theives that they are without saying one word, he implemented tax cuts, he put forth a program to make our schools accountable, France and Germany are coming around to HIS way of thinking, he respects the military and refuses to call our troops Nazi's, he refused to make a persons sexual preferences an issue when it came to hiring his staff - in fact stuck up for his principals in the face of an easy decision to throw they guy overboard, he is respectful of the government provided staff, he wants to win the war - liberals don't, the media hates him, and on and on and on.
President Bush rubs me the wrong way with the things he doesn't do, not what he has done.
you two fellows are much too eager to label someone a liar, fraud,and what else have you called me, a socialist? Although I'm not an expert at explaining all my thoughts clearly, I certainly am none of the above but luckily, am not worried too much about your opinions of me especially in light of the way you "chat". Have I once said that I didn't like all of Gw's appointments? I am, as you are, displeased with the fact that he doesn't seem to be getting them through the "liberal blockade" as you put it and the once rep. majority in the senate is not doing their part to help him. I'm thinking that anytime you see someone say something negative about Bush, you go on autopilot to bash them. There are a couple of appointments that he's made that I don't like such as the one that's taking all the heat. The majority I'm fairly pleased with. What happened to Ashcroft and many many other fine people that Bush chose that later have resigned? At least you did mention several things that you're pleased about him and I have to admit, even though I have come to dislike him, his tax cuts were of course the right thing and did help the economy. He does seem to stick by his people even under a lot of heat. I think you'll find that if I actually make any more posts in this forum that I am not a liberal, socialist, democrat, liar, etc. I just don't like the "war" in Iraq and do feel that a 300% increase in the price of oil during his term is more than a little suspect. I am totally against the dems plans for socializing the health care system, their ideas of big government, constant efforts to overtax the people, gun control, etc. This, by the way, is the only forum, chat room, or whatever you call it that I've ever been on. I only got on this one to get some help fixing my 9.8 merc motor. If this is how it goes with name calling and bashing of different viewpoints, I think not only myself but others as well will be a little leery of posting their thoughts on any subject. Is what you want a bunch of yes men to pat you on the back and tell you how right you are on your every opinion? I try to think when someone has a different opinion than I do that every once in a while, they might have something. Maybe that's what happens here, differing opinions are sent packing with nothing but a bunch of name calling. Fine by me. I'll stop by ever so often to chuckle at your clever comments and see some of the other posters exploits.

I don't think it's anything personal jbj. It's just that folks are taken to task here at times. The dems do it as well. But if you post an opinion, expect someone else to have an opposite view and question you on it.
Murky, Pointers,QC and 12 are very articulate as well as tree, Willy, pw and many others. I am more of a get to the point kind of person.
I have been "beaten up" more than once.
Stick around and you'll see it's not so bad.
OK, hairsplitting time, in my inexpert opinion ?sleazy and slimy ?could be applied currently, to both parties (note italics). So, who has been in control of both the House, and Senate for the majority of the time the last seven years? ??The so called Republicans, they take? sleazy and slimy to new heights. Inept?. Socialist? I guess that depends upon ones perspective doesn?t it?
Hollywood types??? Comeeon Skinny what party has been staring at Mt Rushmore, looking for a spot to put ?President Reagan ?(a Hollywood type), what party is scrambling, yes even praying, for a TV star too declare himself a candidate, so he can come charging in like the Calvary at the last minute and save the grand old party that has been stolen from them by this bunch of incompetents.
Abortions? Personally I?m against them, as well as the tax structure as it stands now......If in anybody eyes that looks like a socialistic position so be it. I?ll just ask you to take the present misadminstrtion out of the equation, compare my words and then see, where I would be on the Political landscape, just might surprise some on the board. The presence of this group idiots sometimes skews my thought process so much it is hard for me to stay focused, just want them to be gone.

Gees, fellows, do you really think we can force those middle-easterners to get along with each other enough to have a democratic form of government?
It is in reference to Democrats.Quote rickster
What the "D" stands for.
They must have changed it, I thought with this administration it stood for deferment.![]()
"Incompetence is worse than socialism,. if it is replaced by fascism. We are in theory, trying to promote Democracy. By turning the screws of fascism on our own citizens???"

jbj: Skinny thinks this was "one of the best posts of the year", I don't happen to agree with him, (Skinny and I frequently dissagree as you may correctly suspect) but: what the hay? Different strokes for different folks, I say. I only have another internet poster's words to go by, (as I surely don't know you personally n' Lord knows I can't read minds as many here think they can) n' me eyeballs, n' me single brain cell. Now this is what you said earlier:
"I am a republican but can think of not one thing that gw has done that I'm pleased with."
In this post that Skinny likes soo much you say: "Have I once said that I didn't like all of Gw's appointments?".
Now if me eyeballs or brain cell did not function I could let that obvious contradiction go, because both function I did not. You seem like a bright fella, n' some of yer posts make good sense. That said, you are a "Republican" who does not think gw has done "one thing right" that voted for the biggest vote getting traitor in American History in 2004: John F Kerry. You are what you think you are, but you are the most inconsistent poster I've stumbled accross here down on DC. My beef with Libs is that they are very disingenious. They talked real tough on 9/12/2001 and rushed to commit us in the collossal struggle against Islamo Facists. The minute they smelled a shift in attitude they exploited the well known fact that Americans all hate war, (some wars are necessary). They then helped the Islamo Facists as they corntinue to do right now. I don't see much difference in how you approach the world. What say you? JR
