As onyx has said I have tired of you as well you refuse to even look at other points of view.

I am out of here as well many things to do before I go to sleep to and to annoy some on this thread I will be on the dose later.

"As onyx has said I have tired of you as well you refuse to even look at other points of view."

I don't accept your opinion as fact by fiat, true.

His aides were briefing that he now had the chance to build a domestic policy legacy and use his final two years in the White House to prove that politicians could get things done in Washington.

He'll get more done with the RATS than he did with conservatives because he's liberal just like the RATS are! He loves the big spending, just like they do, and they're for amnesty just like he is. In fact, they'll probably get more done with Bush than they did with Clinton in office. We have surrendered our Constitution and have become part of the "Americas!" We have been screwed, big time, and I suspect, it's going to get much, much worse!

he could support an increase so long as Small Businesses were not hurt (something to that effect).

Thanks for that info. I'm having a hard time watching him speak the past few months, he seems so insecure and unsteady. I really feel sorry for him. He has been screwed by a lot of people inside the government and outside in the media.

Unfortunately a minimum wage increase will hurt small business most likely.

Union contracts are also tied to increases in the M.W. Many wages will then have to rise, then some will lose their jobs. It's a tough situation, and the old media will somehow make him look bad for anything he decides to do.

I hate the media. They won this election and are ruining this country.

It's going to be a horrible two years in many ways.

I see a terrorist act occurring worse than 9/11.

Exactly in this world we never get 100% of what we want, many on this board exalt Ronald Reagan (and he was a great President and a wonderful friend to Britain) to great heights but he never got 100% of what he or they wanted.

Ronald Reagan was hobbled by an overwhelmingly democrat congress, and did not have the benefit of talk radio, the internet, fox news and other independent media sources. W. had both houses of congress before Tuesday, plus an alternative media machine to help him. There's no comparison.

Like it or not the minimum wage is popular with voters and gets huge margins when put to the voters. //////// That's because Republicans have been abysmal in defending their opposition to it. When Rat candidates talk about the minimum-wage and Republicans just sit there and let the lies go unanswered then it becomes a popular issue.

Right............. but the media would distort the Republican position anyhow! It's an nearly impossible position.

"conciliatory gesture by wearing blue tie"

I'll bet Nancy was wearing blood red.

[beyond the sea]

Right again.

[beyond the sea]

if it hadn't been for the libertarian vote against the Republicans in Missouri and Montana

Libertarians are too often selfish people with no sense. They did fail the country in these elections.

They cost us the Senate, and the potential for at least one more Constitutionalist SC Justice, the protection of innocent life, and permanent tax cuts, support for our troops and the war on terror.

But I'm sure they feel good about themselves...../sarc

"I see a terrorist act occurring worse than 9/11."

One of Osama's highest priority targets has always been San Francisco. Why? Because it stands for all the moral degradation of the West and against all that Osama finds anthema.

I have always thought that after Washington, D.C., and our Economic center (New York) that S.F. would be the next High target.

I would also put Seattle on the list because of Bill Gates.

You know you're a libertarian when:

You dream of starting your own country.

You either love Miss Rand - or think all her followers are robots.

You define government as "organized force" on your poly sci exam.

The very thought of dope-smokin' gun-totin' wife-swappin' atheist Ayn-Rand-worshippers running the country gives you a warm feeling in the cockles of your heart.

You hate politicians so much that even if they tell you they lied, you don't believe them.

You're pro-choice on everything.

You'll vote against a policitian who wants to abolish the IRS because he's against decriminalizing pot. You think that politicians should be limited to two terms. . .... one term in office and then one in jail.

****

LOL

It would be rather interesting if S.F. would be the next hit since Pelosi Galore is going to be The Screecher of The House soon.

[ohioWfan]

LOL! That is hilarious! Where did you get it?

[RodgerD]

8. Announced the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), an internet-based system that is improving America's ability to track and monitor foreign students and exchange visitors. Over 870,000 students are registered in SEVIS. Of 285 completed field investigations, 71 aliens were arrested.

A trivial result but at least it took up a lot of words in your cut and paste of bureaucratic tail-chasing.

How about something more succinct?

• Presided over the largest influx of illegal aliens of any U.S. president.
• Committed to signing the largest illegal alien amnesty in U.S. (world?) history.

Bush is screwed.

He's just putting a smiley face on it.

Since when do Demoncrats not act in UNISON?

It's rare ... that they don't and now they don't need to.

LOL-LOL-LOL

"It isn't a conservative one either."

Yes, conservatives like myself sit back and seethe. At the rate we're going we'll be like Brazil, a third world, heathen, country with extremes in economic class.
