I understand your point and think it's primarily a difference in style between the two.

Plus Bush knows he runs a high risk of headlines being skewed to make him look like he's on the defensive should he engage the RATS.

The symbolism could not have been more obvious. With the newly elected "compassionate conservative" hosting the aging sea cow of liberalism...

Civility to them is nonexistent.

They don't recognize it because they don't practice it. At best the see it as weakness at worst they attribute it to trickery and other black motives.

AWWWW but wait until #43 is out of office.....the rats opened the door, not saying 41 or 43 will say anything, but there will be other repub. that will....

And I know some senators that are waiting for 43 to complete his term and they will have their say....they respect 43 to much to say anything right now....

Rush replayed some clips from the Wellstone political rally memorial a few days ago. Sickening to listen to. As was the politicking at King's funeral.

Democrats Incivility

Just look at the example(s) set by their "official" leader:

I do not have a Stone Face. I have an angry face and I am going to take it out on every man, once I take over America. I'm going to put the Boy Presidents testicles in a lock box and throw away the key and then I'm going to do the same to everyone I can get my hands on.

I've been civil to the President. I've called him a 'liar' and worse repeatedly. It is you who have been uncivil to me.

The Beast's anger and paranoia must all go back to her childhood when her father gave her a toaster and a radio as bath toys.

LOL!

FYI, Peggy Noonan took a break from her usual Bush-bashing in OpinionJournal.com to throw a few choice barbs at the Hildabeast. Here is a taste:
Media people keep saying, as Hillary gears up for her presidential bid, that her big challenge in 2008 will be to prove that she is as tough as a man. That she could order troops to war. That she's not girly and soft.

This is the exact opposite of the truth. Hillary doesn't have to prove her guy chops. She doesn't have to prove she's a man, she has to prove she's a woman. No one in America thinks she's a woman. They think she's a tough little termagant in a pantsuit. They think she's something between an android and a female impersonator. She is not perceived as a big warm mommy trying to resist her constant impulse to sneak you candy. They think she has to resist her constant impulse to hit you with a bat. She lacks a deep (as opposed to quick) warmth, a genuine and almost phenomenological sense of rightness in her own skin. She seems like someone who might calculatedly go to war, or not, based on how she wanted to be perceived and look and do. She does not seem like someone who would anguish and weep over sending men into harm's way.

He does from time to time. Your comments to the White House or directly to him via fax or e-mail or voice are needed - especially now with the NYT and the leaker's.

(read this)......Tony Snow said treason is hard to prove - I think he is wrong on that.

"aging lion of liberalism?"
I can think of a lot of characterizations for Kennedy but an "aging lion" does not come to mind.

"Two years later, Kennedy repaid the president's generosity of spirit and action by taking the floor of the U.S. Senate to accuse him of being a liar by claiming that Bush had "cooked up the war (against Saddam Hussein's regime) in Texas."

and Swirsky makes my point!

"incivility?"

Another mischaracterization. Hatred is more accurate.


"Clinton earned $300,000 for speaking against America's interests that day."

Now Swirsky is getting to the fat of a Liberal.

"Class versus crass?"

No, Swirsky, when it comes to Bush versus the Clintons, Jimmy Carter, Kerry & Kennedy it's "Class versus trash!"

The 'Rat party has become nothing more than a group of Communists/Socialists whose only goal is staying in office & acquiring political power.
