BUSH: "I'll be right with you Mel, I'm just saying goodbye to my Conservative Base"

Who said I was a putz head?

You should post this on todays day in the life thread. Those chicks all claim that dissent it ok, so long as it is on topic (today's events). This should be a good opportunity to test that.

Mr. President, if million dollar bills existed, how high would the pile representing your recent spending sprees be?

"I'll be right with you Mel, I'm just saying goodbye to my Conservative Base"

I'm happy Bush is investing in broadening the Republican party for the future.

I'll bet homeowners are more Republican than Democrat!!

"You on the right can go now. I'm done using you. Thanks."

"Hey Mel! Lookie here! Some of the Left have gone so far left they are now back around here on the right. Let me wave bye-bye to them! Say who's that unemployed cartoonist out there?"

You were right. This is fun! :0D

Anyway, this is just getting out of hand. Every week the guy comes up with something that Clinton would not have dared do for fear of being labled a liberal. Why just minorities? I am closing on a house on 6/28. Why should I subsidize someone else just because I was born with white skin?

Mr. President: Do you believe that we should all be judged by the content of our character or by the color of our skin?

I thought we were fighting terror ... not supporting it.

"Where does the money come from? Shoot, I'm the Prez! I got access to a pile of money this high!"

"And for my next act, A CHICKEN IN EVERY POT!!"

Yours was excellent Reg. It's gonna be hard to top.

Something to think about for those who say Bush is better than Gore would have been: if Gore were pres, the Senate would filibister every giveaway program he tried to start up. With Bush, the GOP Senators ENDORSE them.

On the other hand, how would Gore be doing with the War on Terror? Scary thought, that....

No, you were played for a fool. I can read and knew better.
I, however, must live with your mistake.

Loans and tax credits = tax dollars from my pocket?

[Jim Pelosi]

Damnit, I have the wrong colored skin....again!

[q_an_a]

I wonder if you read the part about LOANS and TAX CREDITS? This is no different than a GI Bill. Giving people a loan to buy a home is an investment in the future. A tax credit is a way to cut taxes isn't that a conservative idea? How is helping people buy a home against anything that conservative want for people?

If you say that the constitution does have a place for home loans then we should not have had the Louisiana Purchase and the westward expansion of America through the offer of cheap land to "Homesteaders"

Because, like all liberals, he believes that blacks and hispanics are too lazy to get ahead on their own.

They must be vomit-fed like baby chicks, from the regurgitating mouth of the mama-bird state.

It looks like the answer is obvious. Bush is trying to "LBJ" Hispanics.

I'll never vote for the guy again.

[Poohbah]

Yeah, God forbid that we do anything that might convince minorities to become conservatives (after they discover the joys of owning property in America).
