Bad news Bush (whiney ill-informed Texas kid kisses liberal Aussie arse in bid to be loved)

"...one of my direct ancestors, Collin McKinney, signed the (Texas) Declaration of Independence."

This doesn't justify your views or bona fides. This only displays how far you have deviated from somebody in your family that actually had sense at one time.

Unfortunately, Mr. McKinney is dead. If he were alive, I'm pretty certain he'd give your sorry hide a Texas tanning you'd never forget.

This McKinney is not worth a bucket of warm piss!

[Bahbah]

For a definition, see "Leo McKinney."

Looks like the media is pulling out the '92 playbook early - the drumbeat begins.

ABC ran poll results over the weekend showing 52% of responents, while a majority approves of his handling of the economy, think Bush is "out of touch" with average Americans.

LOL, they didn't even bother changing the terminology. I expect to see stories about Bush at the supermarket checkout counter at any time.

leaving only to pursue a Master's degree at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois.

I suspect that he "pursued" a Master's degree but didn't get it. If he had, wouldn't he have phrased the statement a bit differently?

Perhaps Steve Breen is more comfortable with "his" hero's monument . . .

"When he assumed my country's highest executive office - a post to which he was not actually elected - in January of 2001, Bush inherited the largest federal budget surplus in history (estimated at $US5.6 trillion over ten years) and a healthy economy."

I see he has been appropriately brainwashed well.... at least he got SOMETHING from all that money he or his parents poured into his "education." And at 24 his "self esteem" training seems to be serving him well...arrogant, ungrateful, little POS. Maybe he'll never return to Texas....sounds like a good NewYork Democrat to me.

Good grief -- are there such things as Socialist/Communist Texans????

Well, you can start with Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower.

Oh this is rich . A 24 year old is not qualified at life to have an intelligent opinion .

You've never been to Austin.

The hospital just called. There was a mistake in the nursery.

They know the political battle for national security has been won by Bush and the GOP, so they're praying that the economy becomes the premiere issue.

  I sincerely hope the Bush White House is not as complacent. The economy is a major issue, and could easily cost him the victory in 2004. Especially if people actually feel that the national security battle has been won.

  Look, like most people on this board, I voted for President Bush. I don't see any of the Democratic candidates as real contenders (but at a similar point in 1992, I didn't see President Clinton as a contender either.) That said, I have some fairly serious problems with President Bush's handling of the domestic economy. I'll cheerlead with everyone else on his foreign policy - I think he's doing a great job there. But not on the economy.

  He showed poor instincts there early on, with the tariffs for the steel industry. We can cheer his tax cuts all we want, but insofar as they are contributing to a deficit, they are driving up interest rates and hurting our economy. Certainly, a second round of tax cuts appears ill advised at this time. Even if his plan meets his own goals, and creates 1.4 million new jobs over the next 2 years, President Bush will be the first President since Hoover to have a net loss of jobs over a four year term. That's not good company to be in.

  Maybe I'm worrying too much. He and his team have accomplished wonders in foreign policy over the last two years. I hope they can do the same domestically now. My point, though, is that they will have to do that - don't take it for granted.

The only problem is that he doesn't realize this yet...

This Texan is very proud of George W. and Laura Bush. I am ashamed of Natalie Maines and the others who think just because their family roots go deep into the soil of our hard Texas soil.

I don't give a rats behind about those type of "so called Texans". I am proud of the Texans like me who fly our flag vote Republican and proudly support President George W. Bush.

AT the age of 24, I think you are still sucking up the liberalism of your days at U of whatever...get a little time on the streets, and shed your liberal down....

[linn37]

I never heard of the guy and now that I have I could care less what he thinks.

He says he lived in Texas up to 6 months ago (23.5 of 24 years) and has been in Australia 3 weeks. But he was persuing a "Master's degree at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois"? He didn't persue it very long.

[gaspar]

Who is this punk? Cynthia McKinney's son?

[johnb838]

I cheer at executions. And I think invading sovereign nations for questionable motives is a fine idea.

What does that make me?
