Bringing in someone with Watergate experience…oh my head…

I have to admit, this news would be more amusing if this had turned out to be true. Still, you can never go wrong with more Reaganites…….

Can I get an Amen!

“Democrats are liars.” — Rhetoric grounded in past performance.

The Democrats will do anything they have to do to get what they want, as evidenced by their enacting of their own “nuclear option” on taxes. They’ll exploit any number of rules, violating the spirit of those rules, to get the power they want. They’ll wear whatever costume it takes to convince voters they’re something they most certainly are not.

They will do whatever it takes to force Bush into the lamest of lame duck presidencies possible, and they will do whatever it takes to secure their power. In short, they have what elected Republicans don’t. Malkins. They’re as corrupt and viciously Machiavellian as they come, but they have the Malkins to hold onto power. What remains to be seen is whether they have the brains.

Trusting Democrats to keep their word on such things is a huge mistake that can only lead to political disaster. Don’t ever believe differently.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Loren,

I’d be careful about reading that into Novak’s column. The fact that Bush hasn’t publicly spoken out against it doesn’t mean that Bush is for it. I think I’d give it time and see how things shake out. If we can get Personal Retirement Accounts by cutting in the payroll tax funds while raising the maximum amount exposed to PRT which adjust for inflation annually, I just might be for it as long as I get a choice of where the money goes that best suits me.

I second Emmett J.’s “dream on”, no offense intended.

Please do not fall into the trap of thinking the Democrats will make a fair sacrifice in return for a tax hike. The first president Bush made that mistake, and look where it got him – first he got screwed by the Dems, who reneged before the ink of his signature was dry, and then he got a recession, then he got thrown out of office. All for believing that they meant it when the offered a “compromise”.

I’m going to take a “wait and see” on this one. Fielding is probably one of the best attorneys to have for the situation the Dems are going to try to put Bush into. Bush definitely made a good choice.

Dream on…………….the fact that he hasn’t spoken out aginst it doesn’t mean that he is not for it, either.

Double-speak seems to have gained more credence here than in Orwell’s 1984 – at least that was fictional. We have to daily deal with watching our nation being flushed down the proverbial drain.

Worse, so do our warfighters, who are ultimately the ones who are paying for governmental mistakes and missteps.

We have to learn to think and act as more than merely a nation of consumers or merchants and prioritize accordingly.

However, if you are willing to prioritize purely for the money, I would suggest that you follow the money trail before agreeing to anything from government (either party).

so he won’t stonewall huh? Does that mean we should go ahead and get the fifty tons of popcorn for the nine years of hearings we’re going to have to sit through as the far left tries to impeach a sitting president during war time using tin foil hat conspiracy theories and spooky you tube videos made by idiot college kids with a “I hate authority” complex?

That sums it up pretty nicely.

Yes, indeed! this should be quality entertainment all around and was well stated. The sadder part is that the ones in charge (both parties) now were idiot college kids from the ’60’s – same “I hate authority” complex, though.

Their kids learned well from mommy and daddy how to sell out America and our soldiers – didn’t they?

That sums it up pretty nicely.

In a signal that he could be open to working more closely with congressional Democrats rather than stonewalling,

So Pres. Bush is the one that’s been stonewalling the past 6 years? Was he stonewalling on the Alido nomination also?
