President Bush is scheduled to stop in Houston to help raise money for Democratic U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson's opponent and the Republican Party's statewide campaign for the Nov. 4 election.
Bush will be the featured guest at a July 18 fundraising luncheon at the River Oaks home of former energy pipeline executive Dan Tutcher, according to an invitation sent to potential donors.

Neither one is high on my hit parade - I’m a conservative who votes as a Republican, not a Republican who is forced to accept conservativism.
Houston has been W's home!
Yes, the “barnicle” has done it again...
...And they wonder why circulation is dropping at the glide angle of an anvil.
The fine fellow running against the worthless ‘rat is named Pete Olsen (http://www.olsonforcongress.com/). He should do well in that district!
>> Not in Houston he wouldn’t. This is GWB Country!
God Bless Texas! We are the Alamo of sanity in this world ... we’re surrounded, but we’re really good shots.

The only State gluing the rest of the country together.

BUSH’S AMERICA: 100 PERCENT AL-QAIDA FREE SINCE 2001
By Anne Coulter
. . . I generally don’t write columns about the manifestly obvious, but, yes, the man responsible for keeping Americans safe from another terrorist attack on American soil for nearly seven years now will go down in history as one of America’s greatest presidents.

GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT
The President’s ratings are NOT the lowest for any President in history . . . That distinction goes to Harry Truman.
BTW: Comparing today’s polls, including those conducted by Gallup, with those conducted in yesteryear is pointless. Today’s pollsters are ‘owned’ subsidiaries of the MSM:
Gallup is ‘owned’ by USAToday
Zogby is ‘owned’ by Reuters
IpsosReid is ‘owned’ by the AP
NBCNews ‘owns’ the pollsters for the WallStreetJournal
ABCNews ‘owns’ the pollsters for the WashingtonPost
and on and on [Always remember: IT’S THE SAMPLE STUPID!]
The only independent pollster*, The BattleGround Poll, is also the only polling organizaiton that still measures a president’s PERSONAL APPROVAL RATING — the rating that Republicans often cited to verify that Reagan was a ‘popular’ president even though his job approval ratings were often subpar. According to the most recent BG poll, the President’s personal approval rating is still approximately 60% (Clinton’s PA never got above the 40th percentile — which is why he never earned 50% of the vote)!
*Rasmussen is often referred to as an independent pollster; however, no one seems to know who actually funds his research.

WHAT’S WITH THE HYPOCRISY?
At the same time you laud McCain as a genuine American hero (which he is), you insult the President for his support of comprehensive immigration reform . . . Didn’t McCain just indicate that he planned to pass a comprehensive immigration plan during his first 100 days in office?! [FYI: President Bush has done more to secure the Mexican border than any President in modern history, including the retrospectively sainted Ronald Reagan.]
I invite you to read my post at #27!
I couldn’t agree more with your post!! [I invite you to read my post at #27!]
Bush takes office in 2001 - There are 6 state sponsors of terror: N. Korea, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran. Bush leaves office in 2009 - There are only 2 states sponsors of terror: Syria, Iran.
1) During the Bush Administration Libya gives up its nuclear weapons program.
2) During the Bush Administration the black market from Pakistan led by A.Q.Khan for nuclear weapons technology is broken up.
3) During the Bush Administration North Korea begins dismantling their plutonium enrichment reactors.
4) During the Bush Administration Israel and the U.S.A. destroy Syria's nuclear weapons enrichment reactors.
5) During the Bush Administration, Saddam Hussein who said quite clearly while in jail awaiting his trial that he would have had the U.N. sanctions broken and be in full production of WMDs within a year. That would be the years 2004 - 2005 approximately that Saddam would have been re-armed with WMDs. It now goes without saying the obvious that Saddam will not be getting nuclear weapons anytime soon. Nor will he be directly funding and training the terror group 'Islamic Jihad' which is al-Qaeda and whom blew up two U.S. embassies. (see the recent: Iraqi Perspectives Project).
6) During the Bush Administration the U.S.A. has nuclear weapon ambitious Iran pinned in on both sides from Afghanistan and Iraq which is pure strategic genius.
Under Clinton the countries Pakistan and India successfully test nuclear weapons and North Korea begins plutonium enrichment.
If YOU think Ann Coulter is a leftist, I don't have the problem.
Bush has kept America free of a terrorist attack. That's not an issue I have a problem with him over. Personally, considering how porous Bush has allowed our southern border to become, thats pretty remarkable.
If you think the polls are inaccurate about Bush, wait until the election. When a President is not running for office, the standard bearer of his party is running on the former President's record.
“you insult the President for his support of comprehensive immigration reform . .”
Jorge's idea of “comprehensive immigration reform” is the following:
Opposing making English the official language of the U.S.
Pandering to Mexico on a host of domestic American issues such as the PERSECUTION of Ramos and Compean.
Refusing to enforce the law of the land by ignoring existing immigration laws
Conspiring with Mexico and the employers of cheap labor to steal jobs from American citizens.
Rewarding illegal invaders with employment, benefits, jobs and a push ahead in the waiting line for citizenship
Trying to foist a phony “temporary worker” program on us which is, in effect, a “rent a slave” project to benefit certain employers. It will create a climate of class and ethnic hatred and result in serious domestic discord.
McCain is a problem with respect to the borders too. But OVERALL, when you compare McCain and Obama - the only two choices available -its a no brainer.
“President Bush has done more to secure the Mexican border than any President in modern history, “
When does “modern” history begin in your book? Eisenhower gave shoot to kill orders to border guards when he was president.
George Bush gave us ONE conservative justice on the Supreme Court. The American People gave us the Second when public outrage forced him to abandon his personal buddy Harriet Miers.
George Bush tried to foist off on the American Pubic the Dubai Port Scam
George Bush selected too many losers in his administrative staff or even retained baggage from Clinton's despicable reign - e.g. Gonzales, Minetta, that horse-breeder he put in charge of FEMA, etc.
George Bush has sat still until relatively recently while energy prices wrecked the economy without offering alternative ideas, or attacking the Dems in Congress for their obstruction.
George Bush got us involved in a protracted occupation of Iraq, one we can't afford to pull out of, when he should have focused our military efforts on destroying governments which were a threat to us.
George Bush came up with a flawed program for an antimissile system for Europe whose only function was to further irritate the Russians - who we NEED for the war on Islam - and drive them into the arms of the Red Chinese.
George Bush has bent over backwards to accommodate the Communist Red Chinese on national trade resulting in the importation of dangerous, flawed products, medicine and consumables to the U.S while destroying our trade balance.
In short this President has presided over the economic wreckage of what was once a great nation.
Personally, I have come to believe he not only a flawed President and a man of lower than average intelligence, but a card carrying member of the Limousine Liberal wing of the Republican Party.
I wasn’t aware that by criticizing Bush I was praising his friend Bill Clinton.
See my recent post on Jorge El Segundo.
And I think your praise of Bush II has been a little ....
DRAMATIC and bends reality a bit.
I stated facts. If you don't think so then by all means point something specific out that I wrote and we can discuss it.
Since 2001 President Bush has pushed for domestic exploration, refineries on old military bases, and nuclear energy!
You are dishonest, Sir! Or ill informed with a knack for whining.
“Even that raving leftist ANNE COULTER gets it . . . what’s your problem?!”
If YOU think Ann Coulter is a leftist, I don’t have the problem.”

WOW . . . If you are unable to recognize IN YOUR FACE SARCASM, there really is very little hope for rational discussion.
See my last post.
Bush takes office in 2001
- There are 6 state sponsors of terror: N. Korea, Libya,
Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran.
Bush leaves office in 2009
“- There are only 2 states sponsors of terror: Syria, Iran.”
Afghanistan is gone but still fighting, N. Korea, as
usual, is playing games, Libya is still a threat and
more so than before due to our failure to take out Syria
and Iran. And you failed to mention that incubator of
anti-western hatred in your list - Wahhabist Saudi
Arabia who spawned some of the terrorists in the World
Trade Center Attack and continues to bankroll anti-
American mosques and madrassehs in the U.S.
“During the Bush Administration the black market from Pakistan led by A.Q.Khan for nuclear weapons technology is broken up.”
Pakistan remains a serious problem, probaly continuing to provide sanctuary to Bin Laddin, and continuing to be a site of anti-western, pro-Islamic terrorists. (By the way, they did a GREAT job with the Benazir Bhutto episode, didn’t they?)
“During the Bush Administration North Korea begins dismantling their plutonium enrichment reactors.”
North Korea has been playing these games for years. They will continue to do so. I’m not impressed. Come back in 5 years.
“During the Bush Administration Israel and the U.S.A. destroy Syria’s nuclear weapons enrichment reactors.”
????????????? During the Bush Administration, the Israelis and Bush fail to take out the terrorist cornered in southern Palestine. They survive and go on to kill more Americans and Israelis.
“During the Bush Administration, Saddam Hussein who said quite clearly while in jail awaiting his trial that he would have had the U.N. sanctions broken and be in full production of WMDs within a year. That would be the years 2004 - 2005 approximately that Saddam would have been re-armed with WMDs. It now goes without saying the obvious that Saddam will not be getting nuclear weapons anytime soon. Nor will he be directly funding and training the terror group ‘Islamic Jihad’ which is al-Qaeda and whom blew up two U.S. embassies. (see the recent: Iraqi Perspectives Project). “
O.K. Score two for Bush.
“During the Bush Administration the U.S.A. has nuclear weapon ambitious Iran pinned in on both sides from Afghanistan and Iraq which is pure strategic genius. “
No. Genius would have been taking out Iran out initially from both sides while Iranian students were rioting after our invasion of Iraq. At this point, the Muslims think Bush and the U.S. are paper tigers.
“Under Clinton the countries Pakistan and India successfully test nuclear weapons and North Korea begins plutonium enrichment. “
So what? Am I defending that idiot?
Until RECENTLY Bush’s “pushing” has hardly been evident.
Thank you!
Voices of reason must speak out.
Sorry you worked so hard on your misinformation.
The U.S.State Department has removed the countries that I named from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Your “emotional opinion” matters zero in this regard in the face of facts.
“WOW . . . If you are unable to recognize IN YOUR FACE SARCASM, there really is very little hope for rational discussion.”
That’s a pretty easy flip-off.
