Tone what down, Mr. Bush? Who are you talking to?
To conservatives?
I think he is.
And I think Laura Ingraham, thinks he is, too.
And, proud of God Knows What, he slighted the conservatives who are suppose to sit around and watch their hair turn white as year after year after year after year betrayal, and now having given so much to put the Republicans and the Bush family BACK in power, who believed the oath Bush gave to church leaders, to conservative leaders, in back door meetings, when lots of money exchanged hands, and money from common people hard earned, and who told the common people all over this nation that he will fight to put a conservative on the bench, and now this from Mr. Peepers he tells us to “tone it down”? Laura Ingraham told Bush tonight, no YOU Bush, you tone it down. Don’t hush us. You hush. You listen. The House, The Senate, The White House, years and years in the making, and now it’s all yours, conservatives who ground down for you, and when it is time, you tell us to tone it down? Squander another 20 years?
Oh, I see. Really. Well, maybe you tone it down Mr. President, or perhaps as some are now calling you Mr. Peepers. Or should I be more respectful?
You tone it down when you talk to conservatives about this vital issue, this nomination to the Court. You better listen. If you told us a lie, you are going to really see who can make hell regarding “Bush Lied”, and it won’t be coming from the Left who are going to make you eat your own words.
You come to the conservatives, to the heroes, to the Patriots, willingly this time. That is more than just good advice, it's real good advice. Respect your family? You respect our families, and everything they have done for you. Your friends? Your loyalties? Who has been your friend, and gave you loyalty? You now need to respect our families, our loyalties. But if you will not approach my friends, my conservatives, with affection, of your own free will, you can take your family and your loyalty to your friends (in power) and you can sit and ride a dead horse right to where you are going, Mr. President.
Don’t you tell me about how the illegal aliens “do the work”, the work that Americans “won’t do”. Don’t you tell me what I would do or not do to support my family. How dare you. And you don’t tell us to tone it down. How dare you, again. Not this time.
Ugly words? You haven’t even heard it yet.
Got a link?
Get over yourself.
Huh?
I dig that chick.
Illegals do work Americans wouldn't do?
That's a damn lie: they do work that Americans are perfectly willing to do.
All you have to do is get a little bit away from the immigrant migratory paths - paths leading to North Carolina and Wisconsin, famous amongst illegals for their lax laws - and you find real legal US citizens doing every sort of job, from shoeshine boy and garbage collector to bank president.
Atta Boy, Girl!!! It may be rice wine to you, but it's saki to me!!!
Your shotgun mouth is getting ahead of your b-b gun butt, cowboy!
Sorry but that does not sound like Laura. Where can we find a transcript of her show?
I do too!!!
Take a look.... seems we need a link or a transcript, otherwise we got a troll here. If so, I take back my previous post.
I love Laura Ingraham. And if she did say this, good for her.
He may think he don't need us red state voters no more, but this here ain't over till the gravitationally challenged member of the femenine gender begins to vocalize!!! You got that sunkspur?
We'll see if Bush does the right thing then, aye?
I'm not holding my breath, personally. But I do understand that this nomination is fundamentally important to the future of this country.
This thread was pulled and then reinstated and still no link.

I just heard a reasonable facsimile to this on Laura's program approximately a half hour ago. (tape delayed) She really dug into him.
I noticed the same thing -- guess the mod got overruled. This is trash and should be taken out like the trash!
Whether it was Laura Ingraham or Mr. Baldwin, I agree wholeheartedly. The White House needs to listen to its friends -- us. If it keeps spitting at us like this, it will find itself friendless.
Bwaaaaah!
With Laura currently going thru chemo, perhaps she is only interested in the truth and character.
She's very inspirational.
Unbelieveable -- WH has to listen to its friends? Does that mean all the nasty attacks against the President he is getting on here from so-called conservatives? If he has friends like I have been seeing post recently, the President doesn't need any enemies.
I went to her website and couldn't find anything like what this guy wrote.
Are you kidding? This sounds just like Laura. I didn't hear the show but I could hear her voice and the tone she would have used while reading it!
GOooooo Laura.
That doesn't really makes much sense. Threads such as this one, make FR look liker DU or worse.
I did the same thing! Couldn't find it either -- will check again later today.
If Bush should go for other than a true conservative SCOTUS nominee, he will find himself having tried for a bridge to far.
Then it should be on her website and it isn't.
I agree with you -- makes little sense to have this up. But I guess if it attacks the President, it is okay. :(
Yeah he may not get reelected.
Brilliant comment. I hope you're more effective when you address a city council, or write a letter to the editor, or engage in an argument with a liberal. Or do you disdain such activities as unconstructive whining?
No I call what you are doing whining.
Whose ever they are, they are all sound and fury, no though, no logic,baseless, and nonsense.
She's one of my favorites. She seems to be holding up under the Chemo rather well as it really can incapacitate some patients.
And just what are you holing to do about it...hold your breath until you turn blue, type away on the keyboard until your fingers bleed, and/or get the sharpest knife you can find and slice your nose off?
I seem to remember her also mentioning Republicans giving us lousey judges, mentioning them by name and that she expects better from Bush.
Right you are. Bush's chastising of the ones who brung him to the dance really bothered me when I heard it yesterday. Some nerve. This is where my constant nagging feeling that Bush is long on compassion, and short on conservatism comes to the forefront. He's now not running again, and probably feels he can do as he pleases, and he can. However, what he does will shape how conservatives treat their position in the Republican party for years to come. They can stay home if peeved enough. It happened before, with Bush Sr. You'd think Bush Jr. would have that figured out. Maybe he does, and will appoint a true conservative to the court.
If he doesn't, he will have broken a trust with the largest voting block of people in the Pub party, and those conservatives will be wary of ever trusting a Pub politician for years to come. If Bush truly wants to stand on conservative principles, then now is the time to show that. If he wants to be Reaganesque, he should prove it. Let's see your true conservative colors, Mr. President, on an issue of enormous importance, not only to the Pub party, but to the very philosophical shape of our nation for years to come. Here is where you will make your imprint. Will it be a wimpy one, or a strong one.
I am maintaining a wait and see attitude, and I wouldn't be totally shocked if Bush disappoints; after all his father did w/Souter. Let's see if Bush repeats his father's mistake or rectify's the situation in his father's name. Bush Sr. got snookered by Souter; let's see Bush vindicate his father with a good choice, not a poor one. He did it with Iraq, now do it with the Supreme Court.
Fact is that Bush was not a gung ho conservative when he was here, certainly not on the issue of abortion. The Bush family is squishy on the issue, with the women being allowed to siddle to the pro-choice side or close to it. Jeb is, of course, perrty firmly on the right side, and the President himself pertty firmly there. But abortion is. like slavery, one of those barbed-wired fence issues. Better not try to straddle it, and Gonzales did.
Then everyone of the "presidents friends " here, who have been and still are, so opposed to him, every minute of every day, should just go sign up at DU! They're looking for 1,000 activists and I think all the ones they want are all now posting to FR.
BUSH TELLS CONSERVATIVES TO "SHUSH" DURING COURT FIGHT! In a slightly disturbing interview in USA TODAY, President Bush tells everyone to "tone down" the rhetoric. That's funny, that's what the Democrats are saying too. The President, in fact, needs conservatives to be mobilized, passionate, and strong in their supper tof his nominee--toning it down never helps the GOP. (see, e.g., the fights over Bolton, Estrada, and Bork.) Click here to read the USA TODAY interview.
Nothing about "Bush lied" or "illegal Aliens just reporting on a USA Today interview.
She did say no, you tone it down, Pres. Bush (those words may not be in exact order but I believe they're all there) on her morning show. Usually I agree with her, but this comes across as strident and more importantly without merit. What non-conservative judge has he nominated thus far? None that I can think of. Can anyone else think of one? Pryor is the only judge I wasn't happy with, but it's not because he's a non-conservative.
Laura is such an intelligent woman that it's a shame to see her resort to ignoring what Pres. Bush has been attempting in his judiciary duty since he's been in office.
Absolutely right on all counts.
Yeah, audio often reads that way. They say that if we read the transcripts of our phone converstaions we'd go insane...:-)
Love tells it like it is, loudly if neccessary. Laura is not fool me twice bimbo. "Tone it down" is a conversational terrorism tatic that paints the loyal longsuffering conservatives as the emotional immoderate and irrational extremists that must restrained for the sake of all important civility. It will be too late to cry out after we have been stabbed in the back yet again.
How do you define whining? To me it means complaining when one has no right to, or no reason to. And we have plenty of reason to complain about this issue. Plenty. If you don't think so, then you haven't been keeping up with the Gonazles controversy and what Bush and the White House have been saying about it.
All Bush is saying is lay off the damn personal attacks on his friend. He wouldn't be much of a man if he didn't. Rest easy, Gonzales is NOT going to be nominated.
Previously, the judge selection for SCOTUS were overseen by the ABA. That is no longer the case.
Listen to Mark Levin...he's great and knows far more than Laura does, about this topic.
What "issue"? Hell he just got 3 VERY conservative judges confirmed and has yet to send up anyone like O'Connor. What in the hell are you griping about?
