I’m still waiting on you to ping quality rabadash attack dogs.

You wouldn't recognize quality if it came up and bit you in the arse.

I see you’ve re-arranged the order in an effort to compensate one of the rabadash attack dogs that you previously disrespected. But it’s too late now. You’ve already disrespected rabadash attack dog SJB by listing him after rabadash attack dog MJK. And now, by re-arranging the order, you’re dissing rabadash attack dog MJK. But perhaps you now feel that rabadash attack dog SJB is more important than rabadash attack dog MJK. Regardless, I find them both to be mediocre rabadash attack dogs. I want you to summon quality rabadash attack dogs at once!

No, I stole it from you. But if you try to sue me, I'll put a (D) after my name and I'll be found innocent of any wrong doing by the MSM. ;-)

That’s twice now that you’ve put rabadash attack dog SJB before rabadash attack dog MKJ. Hey, rabadash attack dog MKJ, you’ve been demoted!

It's a damn shame he had to take away freedom from his fellow Americans to do it.

Alito.

Harriet Miers. But in the end W, with the help of those who vehemently opposed Miers, did get two excellent picks. Diamonds in the dung heap of his rule.

Bush kept you alive!

BTW: I read that some freepers are spying in your window right now (saw it on that Lieberman thread.) You may want to lower the curtains.

Wow! What a post!

By gum, that was a knee-slapping howler too! Have you ever considered stand up comedy as a career?

No?

Good.

“You’re preaching about a strong foreign policy and you’re a Baldwin supporter? What a joke.”

Sucking up to tyrants and caring more for the security of other countries than your own is not a strong foreign policy.

“You’re going to have to be more specific, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

(1) Bush actively increased Muslim immigration.
(2) Bush did nothing to stop visa overstayers.
(3) Bush did nothing to secure the border (at least Reagan’s amnesty was SUPPOSED to add security).
(4) Bush support Kosovo independence.

Were you not paying attention?

Get it now? Sarah is unwittingly sabotaging her own efforts with her embrace of, and her support for the likes of McCain, Steele and other RINOs. Does it mean we wouldn't support her if she were the 2012 GOP nominee? NO, despite doubts, I would pull that lever for Sarah a LOT easier than I did for that SOB McCain in 2008.

Dear God... is it possible you've pretty much summed up what most Palin supporters here on FR believe?

See, I knew you couldn't be all THAT bad. You did, after all, hawk for Hunter and Thompson. :)

And Reagan was better how? I don't remember Reagan sending them back.

(2) Bush did nothing to stop visa overstayers.

I don't remember Reagan securing the border.

Clinton's deal.

Were you not paying attention?

Were you not paying attention to my post? My main concern is terrorism, not Mexican maids and landscapers. My original post said that Bush was the only president willing to deal with terrorists. Reagan did nothing to deal with the terrorists that killed hundreds of our Marines. Now tell me how Reagan was better against terrorism.

“And Reagan was better how? I don't remember Reagan sending them back.”

Reagan didn't try to import MORE enemies.

“And Reagan was better how?”

9/11 should’ve been a wake-up call.

“don't remember Reagan securing the border.”

Apprehension rates were quite a bit higher under Reagan.

“Clinton's deal.”

Which Bush actively supported.

“My main concern is terrorism, not Mexican maids and landscapers. “

What do you think having a wide-open border and rampant illegal immigration does to a “war on terror”? It helps you LOSE.

“My original post said that Bush was the only president willing to deal with terrorists.”

Saudi Arabia is the source. I don't recall him dealing with them.

“Now tell me how Reagan was better against terrorism.”

He wasn't a Saudi stooge.

Reagan didn't try to import MORE enemies.

What enemies did Bush "try to import"? How did Reagan not "try to import"? Surely you're not saying Reagan sealed the border? (My original post has nothing to do with the border anyway...you're trying to change the subject since you know I'm right about the barracks attack.)

9/11 should’ve been a wake-up call.

The barracks attack should have been a wake-up call.

Apprehension rates were quite a bit higher under Reagan.

My post was about terrorists, not Mexican maids and landscapers. Anyway, since you brought it up, let's see the numbers to prove what you say. Remember, Reagan wanted a true amnesty.

Which Bush actively supported.

The war was over, it was Clinton's deal.

What do you think having a wide-open border and rampant illegal immigration does to a “war on terror”? It helps you LOSE.

The 9-11 terrorists were Mexicans?

Saudi Arabia is the source. I don't recall him dealing with them. He wasn't a Saudi stooge.

Prove it. Show me that is was the King of Saudi Arabia that did 9-11.

Back to reality...Al Qaida did 9-11, not the Saudis, not the Mexicans. Bin Laden was about broke in the 90s proving the Saudis weren't the ones financing him. He could have been caught by Clinton if Clinton wasn't so inept. Coincidentally, when Saddam and the UN's oil for food program started up suddenly bin Laden has money again. Al Qaida carried out 9-11 with the financial and training ground help of Saddam. Bush kills Saddam and his sons, kills Al Qaida in Afghanistan and Iraq.

OK, what did Reagan do after the barracks attacks,...he held our agents back from taking care of business. Yes, Bush was definitely better against terrorism. Reagan was great, top 5, but Bush has him beat in fighting our terrorist enemies.

“What enemies did Bush “try to import”?”

He didn’t try. He did. Active programs to relocate Somalis to the United States and to bring in more Saudi “students”. Sucking up to the enemy. Fighting a war to avoid OFFENDING the enemy.

” (My original post has nothing to do with the border anyway...you’re trying to change the subject since you know I’m right about the barracks attack.)”

Without border security, no war on terror can be won.

“The barracks attack should have been a wake-up call.”

For visa enforcement?

“The 9-11 terrorists were Mexicans?”

They 9-11 terrorists violated unenforced immigration laws and used the same “services” that provide illegal aliens false documents.

“The war was over, it was Clinton’s deal.”

So, it was President Clinton who recognized Kosovo as an independent state in freaking 2008?

“Prove it. Show me that is was the King of Saudi Arabia that did 9-11. “

Saudi Arabia funds terrorism and radical mosques around the world. If you don’t understand that, you are not paying even the slightest attention to this war.
