Good Speech President Bush

Holy Crap! You just complimented Bush!....History in the making...somebody write this down!

~Zoo

Interesting to see Hillary sitting directly behind Obama!

Now President Bush needs to review the Constitution. Laws in our country are developed and passed by the Legislative Branch not the Executive Branch. It is time to see what solutions the new Congress passes to deal with these issues. If Bush is sincere about finding solutions to these issues he will accept what the Congress passes. If he insists on his Far Right my way only approach and veto’s anything that does not appeal to the conservatives, NOTHING will get done!

Interesting how you take this approach now, but not when the GOP was in control. Are you saying Bush should blindly accept whatever the democrat controlled Congress passes? Seems to me you are giving democrats a pass (as usual), and setting up the blame on Bush (as usual).

f nothing gets done because of Bush and GOP members of Congress, 2008 will be the time to insure that the changes we need come into being. I hope Bush and the GOP will not fight change and only time will tell.

The problem is your definition of change is not good for America or American business, unless you are in one of Pelosi's districts of course.

IslandDog

Some of what is good for the American Family may not be designed to help business. The last I looked People vote not Business (I guess Business does vote via lobbing).

The approach I am taking is what the Constitution has established. It is Congress that enacts laws not the Executive. The Veto was intended to be used not to legislate but when something was so off course that the executive had some control. If however Bush uses the Veto to prevent laws that the majority want via their elected legislature, then we have a problem. What the conservatives must learn is that they are NOT the majority. The majority is far more centrist and we have had far too much legislation that favors Business and the wealthy. The voters in November 2006 made it clear what Bush and the GOP were doing was NOT in agreement with what the majority of voters wanted. It is time for a change and if Bush and the GOP prevent that change from taking place the voters can insure change by electing a Democrat as President and further consolidate power in Congress!

Col please..... What you are basically saying is that Bush should not veto anything democrats propose because.....they are democrats. Interesting how you change your views when democrats have power.

Some of what is good for the American Family may not be designed to help business. The last I looked People vote not Business (I guess Business does vote via lobbing).

I vote, too, and I like laws that help business. Why? I like to work, i like to eat, and I like to sit on my ass on my comfortable sofa watching meaningless random graphics parade across my television screen.

I work for a business. Without them, I'd be unemployed. I drive my car, which was made by a business, filled with gasoline, which was refined by a business, to a store (business) to buy the hohos, DVD player, TV, DVD's, and mass quantities of beer. I like business. Business, not religion, is the opiate of the masses!

Laws that hurt businesses hurt people. Laws that help businesses help people. it's just that simple, folks!

IslandDog

Bush should not VETO bills passed by Congress just because they do not fit the conservative agenda. If they benefit the majority and were passed by congress they should become LAW! Bush should use his Veto just as often as during his first 6 years! If the voters wanted to continue the bush/GOP policies they would not have voted the way they did in November 2006!

Gideon

You have a right to vote for laws that benefit business. The problem is in November 2006 the majority voted for a change. They did not want more of the Bush/GOP policies. Some laws that help Business do not help the majority of people some do not. For example the tax cuts to BIG OIL.

Now President Bush needs to review the Constitution. Laws in our country are developed and passed by the Legislative Branch not the Executive Branch. It is time to see what solutions the new Congress passes to deal with these issues. If Bush is sincere about finding solutions to these issues he will accept what the Congress passes. If he insists on his Far Right my way only approach and veto’s anything that does not appeal to the conservatives, NOTHING will get done!

col for as long as I have been reading your supposedly informed and well researched tripe you have been beating up the President for not doing this or not doing that. Now that the Democrats are in power you finally see what I have been telling you for months. The legislature makes the laws not the President. Troop strengths are set by Congress not the President. All the President can do is ask it is up to the Congress to make it law. Congress can make or amend any laws they wish without the President requesting the changes. Can’t raise troop levels because the Democrats in Congress made it clear they were going to fight that unless it came with a draft.
The money for hurricane Katrina victims was requested by the President, Congress spends the money. Congress chooses where the money is spent.

All the things you blamed on the President sits in the lap of a do nothing Congress because the Democrats choose to hold things up as much as possible.
Now you wish to say that the President should not stop the Congress from doing stupid things they plan to do with their new leader. So it is clear that you will blame Mr. Bush for the failings of the Democrats.

If nothing gets done because of Bush and GOP members of Congress, 2008 will be the time to insure that the changes we need come into being. I hope Bush and the GOP will not fight change and only time will tell.

Nothing got done for 6 years because of the Democrats but now it is a bad thing if nothing gets done, and in both cases it is the Presidents fault. You are so full of crap your eyes are borwn.

As to Iraq, it was classic Bush—DO IT MY WAY- Stay the course. If in the next several months the situation in Iraq is not stabilized, Congress needs to consider removing Bush and Cheney from office via Impeachment! If that is not possible, the next President will be handed the Iraq war and a continuing problem!

It seems you have it backwards as usual. If it is not done the Democrats way then nothing gets done, or as little as possible. You sir are a political hack, a hypocrite with no moral or secular compass. You sir are a hateful man deserving only the most base respect. You are not interested in the prosperity of our nation but the installation of your political views even when it is plain to see that some of those views will do more harm to our nation than help. You sir are a disgusting person of low repute. You sir are dishonest. I have given you every chance to show some honesty but this last article proved you to be unworthy of consideration.

I didn't care for the speech. It was annoying to hear him claim that we are "rallying the world" against extremism. He made several statements like that just smacked of propaganda.

For the most part, though, he was honest, and no one can blame him for trying to show optimism. In the end I think a lot of us would have been a lot more happy with an angry Bush, condemning the politics that stayed his hands for so long, and letting us know that he's ceasing to give a damn about world perception and is now intent on WINNING. This "mellow greetings and salutations" attitude doesn't impress his base, and doesn't fool the opposition.

This whole climate of non-partisan fake bull is sickening to me. I wanted Bush to stand there and say "No way in hell that woman behind me is getting any bills off of my desk without a veto on them". This uplifting, inspirational crap is the problem, not the solution. It creates the environment wherein we halfass everything we do.

A lot of things got done during the past 6 years. The problem is that the results of all those things have not improved the lot of our country. The difference during the past 6 years and now is that the Congress was a RUBBER STAMP for what Bush suggested. With the exception of private accounts for Social Security and his so called comprehensive immigration policy Congress passed what Bush wanted.

You have got the brown eyes. All you can do is support an arrogant man that has caused more harm for the people of this country especially our brave military. Nothing that needed solutions has been made better during the past 6 years.

He has created a huge deficit and it was his tax and spending policies that Congress approved.

His prescription Drug Plan was passed with no funding and it is making the financial problems of Medicare worse.

He took us into a Civil war that has made us LESS not More safe. Again a war Bush insisted on and congress approved.

He tells us that we must become less dependent on foreign oil and has done NOTHING over the past 6 years to achieve that goal.

He has not enforced our immigration laws and has not asked Congress for the border Guards HE SAID WERE NEEDED!

He said in 2000 that our military (Army and Marines) were too small and has done nothing for 6 years to ask Congress for more troops.

This man is a TOTAL FAILURE.

He ignored the conflict in the Middle East and it has gotten worse over the past 6 years.

He was a Drunk, Failed to obey his orders in the military, had two failed business ventures, he had No foreign policy experience and was not a good student. Bush unlike his father, brought NOTHING of value to the Presidency. He is a perfect example of a man that accomplished almost nothing beyond politics and has accomplished nothing of value. Every door was opened for him by his Father and his Father’s contacts. On his own merit George W. Bush accomplished almost NOTHING!

What a dramatic exaggeration.  This is way beyond an obsession.

You stated that it is the Congress that makes the laws so how can the Congress be a rubber stamp of the President? He let the law makers make the laws and not once has he Vetoed them. It looks like he was the rubber stamp of the Congress. Did he make recomendations to COngress? Yes, and the Congress did not do everything he asked. Being the honorable man he is he did not fight the Congress he let them do thier jobs and he did his.

You have got the brown eyes. All you can do is support an arrogant man that has caused more harm for the people of this country especially our brave military. Nothing that needed solutions has been made better during the past 6 years.

I support my President, just as I have supported all the other Presidents in my adult life. I liked some and disliked others but I never stopped supporting my president. Our president is the leader of our nation. When Mr. Clinton did things I disapproved of I still supported him on international affairs because it is the sole responsibility of the President of the United States to handle international dealings. Domestic issues are the responsibility of our Congress. The spending of money is the responsibility of our Congress. The President writes the budget but the Congress allocates the money to be spent on those budget items. The Democrats had enough people in Congress to make changes if they wanted to as evidenced by all the earmarks in the budget, they were not all made by Republicans. If Congress did not like the armor they paid for then they should have allocated money to buy more and better armor.They did not and no one from Congress screamed that our military did not have the armor the military needed because they failed to give the military the money. Instead we heard that the Sec-Def did not have enough armor for the troops. So this new Congress has a lot to do if they really want to win the war on terror and spend the money wisely. Will they?

He has created a huge deficit and it was his tax and spending policies that Congress approved.

True, just like during WWII. The idea is to win the war and then deal with the funding because if we lose the war the money won't matter. After WWII it took us less than 10 years to dig our way out of the hole. We are in a fight for our very lives and you don't seem to notice our enemy wants us dead as a nation.

His prescription Drug Plan was passed with no funding and it is making the financial problems of Medicare worse.

Political hack! How can he make it worse when SS and Medicare both were supposed to be broke by 2005 according to that estreme right wing Bush supporter the Clinton administration figures. Correction the funds were to become insolvent in 2005 and broke by 2011. Now we are looking at it might become insolvent by 2012. How does that sound worse?

He took us into a Civil war that has made us LESS not More safe. Again a war Bush insisted on and congress approved.

Mr. Bush had all the authorization he needed to go to war in both Afganistan and Iraq but the Democrats in Congress demanded he ask for their votes to be on record which he did and they approved it all. The Congress wanted to be a full partner in the war on terror. The minute things started to look bad they started to scream "Bush lied" he tricked us into voting for the war. These same Congresspeople were on record saying that we had to get rid of Saddam. They want us to forget that these statements were made during the Clinton adminsistion. So how did Mr. Bush lie to them when he was Governer of Texas? There is no real civil war in Iraq. Not yet, but if we leave it will first become a war with Iran and Iraq then we will give them support like we did the last time then when that is over we will have a civil war that will wipe out a quarter of the nation and we will be mistrusted and hated for decades. What you call a civil war is really a battle between three factions that want to keep Iraq destabalized. Iran, AQ, and locals that are out of power that want it without earning it. We have to stay there for no other reason than to keep the word of our nation. We failed to keep our word in Vietnam and that damaged us for decades, we were a nation that could not be trusted. This is our first chance to clean off that slate and gain the confidence of the world again.

He has not enforced our immigration laws and has not asked Congress for the border Guards HE SAID WERE NEEDED!

Congress did not approve the money for new agents what is he supposed to do. If the Congress rubber stamped the President we would have had the agents he asked for. How is that his fault?

He said in 2000 that our military (Army and Marines) were too small and has done nothing for 6 years to ask Congress for more troops.

On September 11 2001 Sec-Def had a Breakfast meeting with some members of Congress in the pentagon to restructure the military and to increse the number of troops in the military. Sec-Def went on record that we needed to be ready to deal with AQ. when asked when the next attack would come from them he could not say. This was taken as a way of scaring Congress into giving more money but the Congress was committed to a social security lock box and would not authorize any funds for more troops on some vague distant threat. Two hours later we were attacked and two days later Congress started pissing money it did not have to fight a war. Though your ignorance may be chosen or due to lack of research the result is still the same. The rubber stamp Congress did what the majority of the people wanted ignoring that we were at war with AQ. Keep in mind that Mr. Bush was in office only 9 months when we were attacked and his adminsitration was in the proess of of increasing the military, and the Congress still has not acted 6 years later. How is that the President's fault?

He ignored the conflict in the Middle East and it has gotten worse over the past 6 years.

Again fine work of research on your part. Did you notice that Isreal and Lebanon have been in negotiations for the past 10 years and only Syria and Iran have been trying to break that up. It seems that it is not worse it is potentially getting better if the terrorist would stop muddying the waters. It seems your love of hate blinds you to all but the most hateful news around the world.

He was a Drunk, Failed to obey his orders in the military, had two failed business ventures, he had No foreign policy experience and was not a good student. Bush unlike his father, brought NOTHING of value to the Presidency. He is a perfect example of a man that accomplished almost nothing beyond politics and has accomplished nothing of value. Every door was opened for him by his Father and his Father’s contacts. On his own merit George W. Bush accomplished almost NOTHING!

You are a political hater and a hack for the ignorant. You ignore facts that are obvious and cling to hate and any lie that fules your hate. After the attack on 9/11 the liberals wanted to talk to bin Laden and make deals with him because his hate of America was our fault. This foolishnes finally stopped when bin Laden was seen on TV discussing the work up to the attacks and how he wants us all dead. Then it did not matter that we were the cause, they finally understood that no matter what we were all going to die if we allowed this nut to stay in power. By then it was too late. All the people in AQ training camps had already scattered around the world. The only camps still active were in Iraq.

As I have pointed out in my blog, President Bush has cleverly coopted the Democratic agenda and thereby reasserted his political relevance, at least for the time being.

"You stated that it is the Congress that makes the laws so how can the Congress be a rubber stamp of the President?"-- Over the past six years Bush proposed a change and the GOP in Congress created Bills and passed them into law which Bush signed into law. Tax Cuts, Iraq war, Prescription Drug plan with no funding, No Child left behind that was not funded, energy policy ( tax cuts to Big oil) that did not make us less dependent on Foreign Oil are some examples!

Paladin 77

I have also supported past presidents WHEN their actions warranted SUPPORT. The president is responsible for Foreign Policy which is in total disarray. There is not one single area where his policies have make things more stable or reduced conflicts.

Middle -East, Iraq, Iraq, North Korea, Central America, Cuba, Lebanon and on and on. Please show me where the Bush Foreign policies have been a success?

As to domestic issues Bush himself spent 1/2 half of his State of the Union address on Domestic Policy. If as you claim that is NOT his responsibility to propose to Congress things that need to be done at home, WHY did he waste our time with 30 minutes of HOT AIR?

He has not enforced our immigration laws and has not asked Congress for the border Guards HE SAID WERE NEEDED!


Congress did not approve the money for new agents what is he supposed to do. If the Congress rubber stamped the President we would have had the agents he asked for. How is that his fault?

My answer:

Lebanon Another Bush Foreign Policy Failure





Bush helped form the new government in Lebanon as one of his new democracies that was to help stabilize the Moslem World. That new government was weak from the outset and Hezbollah was able to operate in the Sothern section of the country. That militant group is the avowed enemy of both Israel and the United States.



When the two Israeli soldiers were captured by Hezbollah, Israel invaded Lebanon and destroyed much of southern Lebanon. In addition to the destruction of the buildings and killing and displaced many Lebanese people, the Israeli invasion further weakened the Lebanese government. In addition, Hezbollah became more popular with many of the people of Lebanon.



Now fighting has broken out in Lebanon and there is a very real possibility that the government Bush said was so important could fall and further enhance to power of Hezbollah in Lebanon. That is a Lose, Lose, Lose outcome of the policy we have followed.



Bush should have told Israel they will not be allowed to invade Lebanon over the two Israeli Soldiers. We could have worked behind the screen to help free the two Israeli soldiers, who I believe are STILL BEING HELD captive.



What Bush did was allow Israel to destroy sections of Lebanon which set the stage for the fighting today in Lebanon. Every single aspect of the conflicts in the Middle-East and greater Moslem world has gotten worse since Bush took office. Here is a short list of the areas that have gotten worse over the past 6 years:



Development of a nuclear Iran

Civil war and instability in Iraq.

Fighting in Lebanon

Israeli/Palestinian conflict- Gaza and West Bank

Afghanistan and the reemergence of Al Qaeda and the Taliban

Relationship with Syria



There were problems before Bush became president in the above conflicts but never has every conflict turned as negative as it has during the past 6 years! The Bush policy in this region has been a TOTAL failure!

This site as a copy of the Arrest Record of GWB for DUI

Here is some of the above :

DUI, Drunk Driving Arrest Consequences
DUI-DWI Convictions Can Happen to Anyone, Even Our Leaders

By age 40, about 20% of all males in the USA have received a DUI conviction. Of course, some men have received MORE than their allotted share, such as Vice President Richard (Dick) Cheney. Here are copies of President Bush’s 1976 DUI in Maine, followed by Cheney’s DUI records of two back-to-back DUI's in Wyoming.

Canada Would Ban Bush — But There Are Loopholes By Rebecca Cooper (ABC News)

W A S H I N G T O N, Nov. 3 — Even if George W. Bush is elected president, he may need special permission to get into Canada because of his arrest for drunken driving.

The Republican candidate for president acknowledged for the first time on Thursday that he was arrested for driving under the influence on Labor Day weekend in 1976, near his family home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

According to Canada’s Criminal Code, Bush is deemed an “inadmissible” person, in violation of Section 19 (2) (a.1) of the Immigration Act of Canada.

In other words, he has committed a crime considered an indictable offense in Canada, and, because of that he is banned.

Over the past six years Bush proposed a change and the GOP in Congress created Bills and passed them into law which Bush signed into law. Tax Cuts, Iraq war, Prescription Drug plan with no funding, No Child left behind that was not funded, energy policy ( tax cuts to Big oil) that did not make us less dependent on Foreign Oil are some examples!

col political hack,

To be a rubber stamp of the president it would mean that the GOP in Congress opposed the views of the president but passed them anyway. Did you ever considder that those people in Congress believed in those things as well as the president? What a surprise that the Republicans in Congress agree for the most part with the Republican President. Just like the Democrat Congress rubber stamped the Democrat President when he was in office. Come on col political hack, try looking at this with the eyes of reality. The platform of the Republican party is low taxes, and it suprises you that the Republicans in Congress agree with this. No child left behind was co-written by that right wing rubber stamp Senator Kennedy. The funding for all of this was set by Congress not the President, check the vots on each act and you will find Democrats voted for the laws as well. Does this mean that they are also the rubber stamp of the President? Twist the facts if you will political hack but the truth is the truth.

I have also supported past presidents WHEN their actions warranted SUPPORT. The president is responsible for Foreign Policy which is in total disarray. There is not one single area where his policies have make things more stable or reduced conflicts.

Political Hack is what this statement says. We are in a war with a lot of enemy factions, we have the Chinese that have been pushing this government since the first month of his presidency. Remember the intentional crashing of our recon plane forcing it to land in China. Russia provoking our enemies around the world to cause more instability. North Korea a problem child for 50 years is pushing and probing and threatinig our fiends in the area. oh yeah then there was 9/11 all that within the first 9 months of being in office. Our President build a colition of the willing to deal with some of the threats but not all. Diplomacy around the world to help in other areas. Covert operations to help with yet others. We had these enemies for decades before the problems were dumped in the current president's lap. Unlike the last president this one is acturally doing something about the problems so it will look bad compared to doing noting and not making an issue of the problems.

Middle -East, Iraq, Iraq, North Korea, Central America, Cuba, Lebanon and on and on. Please show me where the Bush Foreign policies have been a success?

Middle East is coming along nicely if you consider the fact that you have Syria and Iran kicking up dust every chance they get. North Korea has been a problem for 50 years and with the failure of the last administration leaving a nuclear mess that Mr. Bush has to clean up, he is doing the best he can with what he has. Central America is a problem with only two countries that just came to power in the last few years. It is being dealt with as it has always been taken care of. Quietly behind the scenes and if that fails then we will kill them. Cuba is a problem? Gee when did that happen? The only problem in the news on Cuba is Castro is dying of old age. Lebanon is not a problem at all. That nation wants peace with Israel and is quietly working on that goal till some idiot blabbed it into the press last week. The problem with Lebanon is Iran and Syria are both trying to make the government fold just like they are doing in Iraq for the same reasons. Peace in that area will mean they will be destroyed. You left out China that is now threatening our satelites with technology given to them by the Clinton administrion which they said would make China love us. Guess not. It seems that libreals support every nation that wants to kill us and when the conservatives do something it is called making a mess of international policy. See what liberal created that have to be cleaned up by conservatives.

As to domestic issues Bush himself spent 1/2 half of his State of the Union address on Domestic Policy. If as you claim that is NOT his responsibility to propose to Congress things that need to be done at home, WHY did he waste our time with 30 minutes of HOT AIR?

Because as the national leader he has to waste his breath setting the adgenda. It is called leadership. He is stating the direction he things is best for his nation.

You are an ignorant, ill-informed drone of the worst President in the history of our country. It is people like you that have enabled Bush and Cheney to come to power.

YOU NUTS!

He has not enforced our immigration laws and has not asked Congress for the border Guards HE SAID WERE NEEDED!

Once again it is the Congress that sets the limits. Since the Democrats gridlocked Congress in order to show the Republicans don't get anything done you should blame the Democrats for not securing the boarders. Please tell me how the President did not enforce the laws.

Lebanon Another Bush Foreign Policy Failure

Political hack! Peace talks go on with the US covertly and you say it is a failure even though it is public record that Iran and Syria are the cause for the last two falir ups. You either did less than your usual due dilligence or you choose to ignore the facts, or you are lying through your tooth like always.

Bush helped form the new government in Lebanon as one of his new democracies that was to help stabilize the Moslem World. That new government was weak from the outset and Hezbollah was able to operate in the Sothern section of the country. That militant group is the avowed enemy of both Israel and the United States.

Lets ignore the fact that almost a third of the government are members of Hezbollah using the same tactics as the Democrat party. Laughing at your foolishness. Lebanon is in a mess but that is because Hezbollah is supported and funded by Iran and Syria our enemies. Our policy is to let these people make thier own choices as they grow as a nation. If we went in and made Lebanon, Iraq, and Afghanistan you would be screaming how we invaded these peaceful nations and forced our way of life on people that can't handle it. If we let them find their own way the president is a failure because these people won't do what we want. HACK

When the two Israeli soldiers were captured by Hezbollah, Israel invaded Lebanon and destroyed much of southern Lebanon. In addition to the destruction of the buildings and killing and displaced many Lebanese people, the Israeli invasion further weakened the Lebanese government. In addition, Hezbollah became more popular with many of the people of Lebanon.

All of this while at the same time Israel and Lebanon are having secret talks of peace. Yup your ignorance knows no bounds.

Bush should have told Israel they will not be allowed to invade Lebanon over the two Israeli Soldiers. We could have worked behind the screen to help free the two Israeli soldiers, who I believe are STILL BEING HELD captive.

Since you don't read the news or have any way of knowing that the peace talks have not stopped the whole time Israel invaded the south it looks like they had permission to do so from the government of Lebanon. They did not fight Israel during that time and the people that lived there supported the terrorist so they are fair targets. You hack.

What Bush did was allow Israel to destroy sections of Lebanon which set the stage for the fighting today in Lebanon. Every single aspect of the conflicts in the Middle-East and greater Moslem world has gotten worse since Bush took office. Here is a short list of the areas that have gotten worse over the past 6 years:

Hezbollah admits that during the last peace agreement they spent the last 6 years re-arming and digging in so they can attack again when they are stronger. This was all over the news at the time but you seemed to miss that while doing your research on the topic. Iran and Syria both have said they support the terrorist and every time Iran has problems in the UN there is a problem in Lebanon. Connect the dots you political hack.

Development of a nuclear Iran

Democrats said they won't back an invation of Iran so Iran knows it is safe unlike before when Mr. Bush said we would attack anyone that supports terror and they started working with us. Yes, political public statements caused the problem in Iraq.

Civil war and instability in Iraq.

Caused not by the locals but by Iran and Syria. Two countries the Democrats have made safe from attack giving them the freedom to act as they wish to with no fear from the only country that can stop them.

Fighting in Lebanon

So far what I see is another attempt to wipe out the government and install another terror state. Who supports this? Iran, Syria, and Democrats in Congress.

Afghanistan and the reemergence of Al Qaeda and the Taliban

Yup, we have not killed them all yet and they won't stop till they are dead so yes, they will keep trying unlike the liberals that try fail and quit.

Relationship with Syria

Yup, Syria is working with Iran to keep the area unstable and the Democrats in Congress won't let us fight the enemy because the failure of the president is more important than winning the war on terror. you silly political hack.

There were problems before Bush became president in the above conflicts but never has every conflict turned as negative as it has during the past 6 years! The Bush policy in this region has been a TOTAL failure!

I agree here. Lets get rid of the Democrats in Congress that aid the enemy and work toward our defeat.

The last time he took a drink was 30 years ago and you still call him a drunk. Mr. Clinton smoked dope 30 years ago is he still a pothead? Mr. Clinton lied in a court of law and was disbarred for it. By your standard he is a lier and should never be trusted. Senator Kennedy is a drunk and murdered a woman yet the Democrat party has never stopped supporting him does this mean the Democrats support drunken murderers? The last time Senator Kennedy took a drink was 9 years ago so he is still a drunk too by your standards. Why do the Democrats support one drunk and hate the other drunk? What does this have to do with his speech you political hack changing the subject again cause you are losing?

In other words, he has committed a crime considered an indictable offense in Canada, and, because of that he is banned.

You are an ignorant, ill-informed drone of the worst President in the history of our country. It is people like you that have enabled Bush and Cheney to come to power.

No, I disagree with you. All I am doing is pointing out your lies, half truths, misquotes, and being a political hack.

YOU NUTS!

Is that the best you can do? No misquoted facts to back up lies to help you feel good about supporting the enemy of our nation in order to put the President down?

You sir are a political hack and when the tables are turned on you, you don't like it. I don't really care which side of the political coin you are on as long as you are honest about it, and admit truths and facts when they are brought to your attention. Above you made a statemtnt that I partially agreed with and did so. Why? Because it is what honest people do. One day you might learn to be honest and deal with the facts as they come up instead of changeing the subject each and every time you lose an argument.
