There
will be a quiz at the end of his term LOL.
<Take notes>
What he says, and what he does are two different things. Especially when it comes to reasons for going to war, and telling us how he was going to hunt down Osama and kill him!!

Is that like claiming to support the troops,then laughing when they get killed?

I can't see that he got any bounce in the polls and in fact may have taken a minor hit. and not at least threatening a veto of some of the pork laden spending that has been coming out of Congress lately. Then again he did ask for a line item veto so that was encouraging.
He is not the conservative you wanted him to be? That's a rather surprising confession, Foxy.
However, re "He didn't help himself either by not speaking more forcefully on border control", I was indeed quite astonished when I heard him saying
Quote:We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy -- even though this economy could not function without them.
Yes, I'm taking notes.
Not so surprising from Foxy, OE. She's on record since way back on her "issues" with Dubya. I don't know of anyone, actually, who gives any politician their full support (100%).

This new policy shift looks as if he may have rethought some things ...

He's referring to me. Trying to pick a fight and get another thread locked like he did the Bush Aftermath Thread! I've been ignoring him for the good of the forum!!

He's just not the conservative we all thought he would be!

I just read that the House Intel Committee is reopening the investigation on the issue of Iraq's WMDs.
<Psssst to the committee - they're sitting in Syria>

Anon,
All I want to know is why you get so offended when your own words are quoted.
Do you stand by what you said?
Do you still believe what you said?
Those are simple questions to answer.

I'll bet 1 against that.
Anon and Mysteryman: I have to admit I'm getting annoyed with your bickering, which already got the other thread locked for good. Could the two of you take it to e-mail, please? I would appreciate it.

(Actually I really meant paddling back and not backpedal.)
But Walter, if you're going to be insulting, if that was your intent, at least explain what you mean by backpaddle or backpedal. Again, what issue do you have with what I said?
Foxy,
the point is just that Bush doesn't really give so many speeches. I am, of course, considering the whole context of his speech. But I cannot consider a non-existent context.
We'll have to see whether or not he's going to expand on some points. Would be fair enough to reevaluate his speech then. On the other hand, I specifically want the president to explain what he meant, not somebody else give an interpretation.
On the WMDs, I'm pretty sure the issue is being reopened basedon information in a new book by one of Saddam's head guys. This book fully explains that massive amounts of WMDs were trucked and flown over to Syria during those weeks Bush was trying to convince the UN to act.
Of course the MSM is trying very hard to ignore this as it is going to make a whole lot of their favorites look very silly all these years they have condemned Bush for lying about the WMDs.

I'd thought, I had clearly marked my response with an emoticon " :wink: ".
Sorry, if you feel insulted.

JW, are we going to agree on an exchange rate now, or will that just be part of the game in order to increase the suspense?
