A fat lot of good it did to pull Arabs out of poverty with petrodollars.

Ah, my dear friend, you project once again.

$400 billion deficit this year. Son of “Read My Lips” has to pay for his treasury-draining war and preposterously expensive new welfare programs somehow, now doesn’t he?

You may still be willing to ride the Bush Adventures roller-coaster, but me, I threw up my lunch a long time ago and the taste hasn’t gotten any sweeter since.

Can you please change the title to “Senate Committee Passes The Global Poverty Act of 2007”?

Thank you!

This new tax goes to the UN for them to do as they see fit.

yep, after our demonrats and rinos get their cut...
wouldn't you think
We, Americans, can't even get the FBI to arrest a congressperson
for having cold cash in his freezer, illegally.
I am out of trust for these elected and unelected so-called leaders.

Just because Clinton left a bad taste in your mouth should have no bearing for your childish projections onto Bush.

I thought it was the US Senate? When did it become the UN Senate? Time to melt down the Fax and phone lines!

You know, your post was the first time in the 8+ years I've been on FR that I've seen the word "BOHICA" being used. LOL!

On that note, here is the word being used in a different context (a few minutes in).

No surprise. Same procedure the Senate used to slip amnesty under the fence. Guess we no longer have a “representative” republic. Do I get to bear arms now? Oh, wait, I forgot... that right is only reserved for “personal defense”.

Take a breath from constantly defending the man and look at his actual record - there’s no invention necessary to call him what he is, a wanna-be FDR.

Your loyalty is magnificent but the subject has proven himself wholly undeserving of it. If that loyalty were placed in a man more deserving, your persistence could result in a great good. That same persistence in the defense of this President is an unfortunate, futile waste of all that energy.

We won’t be able to even foot the bill for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in a few years. That makes me skeptical about our ability so solve world hunger.

“Sen. Barack Obama [D, IL] and 3 Co-Sponsors

Sen. Maria Cantwell [D, WA]
Sen. Dianne Feinstein [D, CA]
Sen. Charles Hagel [R, NE]”

ARRRGUH!!! Hagel is lame duck fecal matter. How this RINO pig got elected by true Nebraskans is beyond understanding. Damn liberal dupes from Iowa flood into Omaha and Lincoln, and they outnumber the western conservatives of the prarie.

“Hagel is in really good company there, isn’t he?”

Too bad he’s not keeping company with the dead.

That’s pretty good for an idiot troll! I’m prouda yous!

That said, if Bush is the lovely conservative SOME FReepers want to believe he is, WHY HASN’T HE SEALED THE BORDER???

You keep your vomit for long term taste tests? Do they have a word for your mental disease?

>Surely GWB will veto this monster. This has been kept out of the news and is being passed under cover of no coverage. It’s the way that communists always work best.<

Bush was in favor of the LOST Treaty, I expect him to smile when he signs this.

Back off awhile, and let us have our mourning. Most of us will vote for the lesser of evils, unless, a really viable 3rd party gets formed.

They sure do. That word would be 'conservative'.

Exactly. Look, I’m more than happy to praise and defend Bush on those issues where he has been a conservative. The problem is that there is also a large list of issues where he has been a liberal. The illegal immigration issue is one of them.
