There you have it, from the President. The law will take care of the concerns and he does have concerns. Like putting an end to this once and for all.

Democrats will not take away the American People's Free Speech with CFR

Can you believe it? Almost all the democrats voted to take Free Speech away from the American people during an election and tried to do this while a war was going on? A war that is on our soil, having been attacked here in New York and in DC during the attack on America on September 11th.

This is un-heard of in American History.

You see the american people can grasp the words Free and speech. When they find out what the democrats attempted to do using CFR to take away Free Speech. What do you think will happen to the democrats. They will be spit on as traitors.

The American people will not only praise the President and despise the democrats. They will see to it the democrats are destroyed and defeated in November.

The President thinks it should be sent to the courts to resolve his concerns and under the law he is free to do that. The court will finish it off, once and for all. He has stood up for the principal of Free Speech. Tells the American people just what the democrats tried to do and why he is going to stop it by which ever means he decides is best.

The democrats can not stand up against a Patriotic people and take Free Speech away during a time of war to save this country from people that want to kill us. Without paying a price which is to be sent so far back by the voters that they will think they are just trying to start up their party.

Was there confirmation of an earlier post that stated the Solicitor General would not be defending against legal challenges, but private attorneys hired by McCain?

[FreedominJesusChrist]

YAWN...we saw this one coming. Just how will the Cheerleaders, Kool-Aid drinkers, and Lemmings react? The suspense is nearly killing me.

Better yet, will George wear a navy blue, red, grey, or baby-blue tie tomorrow? Or even more engaging...will he and Laura color-coordinate tomorrow?

[weikel]

Hes a traitor I hope Sandra is in a good mood when she hears the case...

[Commie Basher]

So what if he has reservations about some parts?

He signed it, so now he's to blame for all of it.

Oh well. Never did like Bush anyway. Not when I voted for him. Not after 9/11. Not during his state of the union. Never.

I hate the Dems more, but that's about all I can say for Bush.

[Twodees]

Oh please, son. Your party passed this out of the House. Bush signed it. Now you're trying to blame this on the democrats? People who can think without turning on a TV will spit on Bush, the republicans and the democrats for this. There's no way to distance your party from this one.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Blaming the Democrats for our problems and then ignoring the traitors within our own party is naive and downright stupid.

[RAT Patrol]

The president is a jerk!

Asked whether he signed the bill with no fanfare because he was displeased with its contents, the Associated Press reported Bush as saying, "I wouldn't have signed it if I was really unhappy. I think this bill improves the system."

...and a fool! He is talking out of both sides of his mouth.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

He still signed it, in spite of his oath to support and defend the Constitution (surprise, surprise), which includes Article I, Section 8 (enumerated powers), as well as Amendments 1, 9, and 10. Even if he bombs the U.N. secretariat in New York (pursuant to a declaration of war against them, of course), initiates the abolition of all unonstitutional laws (which would include reversing this one), and wipes out every last terrorist on the face of this earth, I still won't vote for him ever again as long as he lives! Even the Hildabeast running in '04 won't scare me into voting for him again. He is no friend of freedom.

[exit82]

The President had an obligation and a duty to veto this very flawed bill. Just saying that there are problems is easy. Doing the right thing is sometimes hard. Theories of brilliant political strategy taking place by signing this bill are no comfort to me. He had a responsibility that he did not fulfill.

Although still my President, he has been diminished in my eyes for not taking a more principled stand. I expected better.

Now if he signs an illegal alien amnesty, he will no longer get my vote in 2004. That is because taking two non principled stands in a row tells me he is no longer trustworthy with the office he holds.

Abrogation of free speech and an unwillingness to defend this nation from an illegal alien invasion are two extremely important items that will determine whether this Republic survives in the 21st century. If he doesn't see it, he won't be getting any support from me.

[nunya bidness]

Nice flip-flop coach.

[poet]

If he truly had stood up for free speech, he would not have signed it! There's no guarantee the the supremes will overturn this. Like clinton's supporters, Bush supporters will defend the indefensible to the bitter end.

[WDG55513]

It's funny, I always thought Bush was a Republican.

[Mulder]

Bush lied to us. During the campaign, he promised to veto this bill. He also took an oath to uphold the Constitution.

He lied on both counts.

He's lost my vote, he will not regain it unless he gets serious about upholding the Constitution.

[Andrewksu]

Man, you guys turn fast. Granted this is a let down, but comments such as not voting for Bush, even if he is up agianst Hildabeast. That's outrageous! Anyway there may be more than meets the eye, (sometimes people in those positions have a little extra info) Ex. Maybe he has a good reason reason to believe that the Supreme Court will take care of the troubling sections of this bill. If I am not mistaken, the rest of this bill would actually be more benificial to the Republicans. I agree that you should not sacrifice standards for a political move, but if the Supreme Court clears up the constitutionally questionable parts, then Bush has just made quite a nice move. Nevertheless, even if he screwed up on this one, let him know, but don't turn your back on the guy who has helped pull us from the horrors of Billary.

Democrats will not take away the American People's Free Speech with CFR

This is true, republicans did.

[Osinski]

Hey Bush...kiss it.

[BluesDuke]

I believe individual freedom to participate in elections should be expanded, not diminished; and when individual freedoms are restricted, questions arise under the First Amendment.

Well, duhhhh, Mr. President!

Happy now? Happy now that you've just given John McVain licence to play Roger Enrico to your Coca-Cola and crow at will, The other guy just blinked? Congress shall make no law...abridging freedom of speech. Bad enough it went over Congress's head, but which part of that portion of the Supreme Law of The Land went over your head, Mr. President?

[Vigilanteman]

As far as I'm concerned, this is a dangerous game of "chicken." Incredibly dangerous. What if the Supreme Court decides to shirk their duty as the legislative and executive branchs have in an attempt to cover their political arses from the media?

As far as the logic that the CFR Act is seriously flawed, but over all, it improves the system, this is like saying a scoop of dog poop in a batch of gourmet chocolate is not good, but overall, the batch has the finest cocoa beans, so you'll clear it to ship with just a little dog poop. What kind of factory manager would keep their job with such logic?

[FatherTorque]

Conservatives are the base of the Republican party, and they think they can count on your vote no matter what they do. As long as you continue to vote for people just because they have a (R) by their name, then they will never change.

Bush, during the address to Congress:

---

"I ask you to uphold the values of America, and remember why so many have come here. We are in a fight for our principles, and our first responsibility is to live by them."

"Americans are asking, why do they hate us? They hate what we see right here in this chamber -- a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other."

"This is not, however, just America's fight. And what is at stake is not just America's freedom. This is the world's fight. This is civilization's fight. This is the fight of all who believe in progress and pluralism, tolerance and freedom."

"As long as the United States of America is determined and strong, this will not be an age of terror; this will be an age of liberty, here and across the world."

"I will not forget this wound to our country or those who inflicted it. I will not yield; I will not rest; I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people.

The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them."
