Sorry!!!
That is for dam sure.
Actually I don't believe in boycotting the Olympics, I simply no longer support them at all. Ever since they banned South Africa while allowing every single terrorist state, I can't abide them.
Gota keep them’there $12 toasters a’roll’en! Were would we be without the Chicoms? Don’t boycott, but Bush shouldn’t attend.
True. With leftists it’s all about the “message” and “feeling” behind everything. There isn’t a damn thing we can do about a country that has 1.35 billion people and their military the size of our country.
Play nice...hope for the best...and be realistic while speaking and trying to make sure conditions in their backyard improve. There is nothing else to do here...enjoy the games and be happy that we are fielding incredible athletes this time around. There is a good chance we could win the total medal count this go-round and that would do wonders for this country which faces doom and gloom for the Fall.
I think it would be more of an insult to our own athletes. The guys/gals have trained hard for an opportunity that comes only comes around every four years. They may not even make the team next time. Besides, politics are supposed to be pushed aside for the Olympics.
This is a very good point.
I am looking foward to it myself and hope they play our national anthem many times.
I say insult them, and then insult them some more. Who care what the Chinese people think?
President Bush continues to be an honorable and dignified man. He has stayed out of the gutter politics initiated by the Demokrats, Clintoons et al.
Sad to say that has been his downfall, a failure to speak more forcefully over these past eight years. His advisors and the GOP in general have failed us all in not stepping up and slapping down the ignorant hate America crowd.
From the borders to the War on Terror, to the economy and glowbull warming, President Bush could have said and done much more aggressive speaking to combat the lies from the left, but sadly he chose to just let the MSM beat him senseless for seven years.
Going to the Olympics will show support for our Team, that’s pretty much all he can do.
Yep, the best stance on this issue is to root for our competitors to take the gold in every event.
I didn’t realize that it is the President’s duty to attend Olympic events.
LOL
Mustn’t offend our Chicom masters.
Nice to know that GW Bush has his priorities straight /sarc
LOL....who cares what you think? For some reason, the many recent n00bs like you seem to think that your pro-Chicom/troll-like behavior is somehow special and worthy of attention.
‘morning, VR. How are you, FRiend?
The Chicoms are an insult to the world. Why worry about us insulting them?
He is such a rocket scientist. Insulting the Chinese would be the INTENT of boycotting.
