Barbara Bush Blunders

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Talk about partisanship. Look at the mirrors first, guys, before calling others bad names.

I guess you and others simply cant handle the truth. These people have come to rely on the government to do all theirwork for them. Its not called the big easy for nothing. If Guiliani were Mayor tere I can garuntee things would have been far different.

Or are you seriously trying to argue that corruption is a taint specific only to liberals and that conservatives by definition are not corrupt?

No IM talking specifics here and specifically NO. It is a bastion of liberalism if there ever was one. A good example of what brininging everyone down to the lowest common denominator gets you.

the real issue imho, is the same with the sheehan media debacle... it is really not news, not in the important scheme of things anyhoo. quoting an old first lady, like following some greiving tool around is a media apparation. a smoke screen to scew how far the media is off the plot, and how they've become a tabloid that should be shelved in the checkout isles of walmat. they're all about marketing and selling more copies, not journalism or news reporting, all the big three in american media both tele and rag all tout the latest reality show right up there with the crap coverage of major events.

Best post of the thread...

Flashback to A Few Good Men! But wasn't the character who uttered those words in the movie the guilty one?

Meh. So what? Everyone that has power(or is around it) knows that they could have helped millions of those people get out of poverty before the hurricane. I don't think this statement should come as any surprise.

Helping people get out of poverty saves a lot of live BTW, I just wanted to add that. If you want to change society from mass death due to negligence and war, don't vote conservative! It's that simple. If you like it conservative, keep them in office by voting for them. Who knows maybe you will be better off personally.

Again ths was a democratic bastion for 60 years. If you need anymore proof that their ideas or that the welfare state and socialism dont work just look at NO. A third world nation in the middle of the US.

A pathetic excuse to use for their being entirely ungentlemanly. I'm not taling about valid political comments, I'm referring to their trash talk. Wasn't just co-workers, it was pervasive. Folks like you and Gawain would be the first I would expect to hear the comments from.

Hehe, feel free to indulge your preconcieved notions about me, Im used to it.

I have more respect for Hillary, far more, than for either of the Bush wives. Why? She takes a lot of abuse, but she makes a difference and in a good way.

Name something good Hillary has done.

I have less respect (but some pity) for women who have little impact on their husbands' views. Barbara to her credit had some differences with George, Sr. during his term. Laura on the other hand...I watched an interview with her that revealed she had no real contribution at all. That seems to be what GOP voters like, but I consider the "barefoot and pregnant" crowd a bunch of dinosaurs who shouldn't have positions in which they are allowed to manage any women in the workplace.

Yea you know its a funny thing with us dinosaurs. We like the person we voted for to be making policy decisions, not the person's spouse.

I do admire your ability to take a seemingly minute example and form an entire diatribe against a huge group of people. Youve mastered it far beyond I could ever hope to.

For example, you take the fact that the president's wife doesnt get involved in trying to influence him politically and twist it into an assumption that people who vote GOP enjoy keeping women barefoot and pregnant. Further, you have decided that GOP voters shouldnt be allowed to manage women in the workplace. So in essense, youve turned Laura Bush's decision to stay out of politics into the fact that conservatives dont respect women.

Really, Goebbels would love it, and thats no insult. An impressive technique indeed.

The misearable bitch should be hung by her thumbnails and given repeated enemas with the outflow from one of the levee pumps. There... you Bush-whackers feel better?

Fohken-Eh, let it go. She was trying to be gracious in a difficult situation (for the record, she failed, true, but as somebody who's had awkward moments themselves, let me say: BFD) What she saw probably threw her back a turn or two. Imagine that. Apocalyptic horror threw her off balance. And for those of you who sit here and pronounce your judgement on her, I suppose you're only taking a break between helping the hurricane victims yourselves? Glad to see dying children and a disaster of biblical proportions didn't even raise an eyebrow on your cynical selves. What's that you say, you haven't been down there and seen the horror in person yourself??? Wait, what's that word I'm looking for.... could it be HYPOCRITE!!!

Khafir, my hat's off to you. When I've misjudged somebody, I'm the first to admit it. I'm going to have to start reading what your posts again... damn... just when I was cutting back on my .ORG time.
