1. Seriously.
He's all about cutting taxes, but you don't see him taking a pay cut for all the time off he's taken.

3. You silly goose...

14. Yes?
Did you read things into my comment that were not there?

If so, why?

MoPaul would be ashamed because he has a conscience...Bush isn't ashamed because he doesn't have a conscience.

Rather obvious to me.

21. My guess is the bandwidth has been exceeded
Usually the case unless the link is wrong. I'm assuming the link is right.

5. Tax Cuts and War
Did you ever see a president cut taxes when his country is at war? This is a moron president. He doesn't make mistakes so why should he feel shame?

20. Why should the "Haves" and "Have mores", you know, bush's
base have to sacrifice anything? :sarcasm: Let the little people fight and pay for the war, is the little worm's idea of fair.

8. His father did the same thing. it seems to be a part-time job
How come he gets a month? Do you? It should go over good that today he is off for a vacation and all those men killed in Iraq. Even the Red States must see that it is odd.

10. How about a president during wartime, and a war you started for you pals?
He wants drool over his cake and eat it too. He cares only to exploit the system for a few Americans, including himself. If a few Americans are dying over in a desert a bajillion miles away, so what? Shrub has important vacation time to use up. And he works right hard there on his ranch, what with playing dress up and brush hog. All this is a lot for a blue blood New England yankee transplant to the Lone Star State. God, the hours he spends honing that phony accent and swagger must be exhausting in and of themselves!

11. We're NOT "at war", we're now "at struggle"...
...Global Struggle Against Violent Extremists--weren't you around for the rebranding??? An actual "war" would be one thing, but who couldn't squeeze in a rest during a "struggle"?

Don't blame him if you can't keep up with the jargon.

28. Paul, You Come Up with the Most Brilliant Insights/concepts.
Adding to what somebody else's post ("Who said he works?"), I say, who says he takes off from exercising.

P.S., I rarely post in your threads because you say it all.

29. Didn't Carter forego campaigning in `80 because of the hostage crisis?
As I recall, Pres. Jimmy thought it inappropriate during the crisis to take time away from the White House to attend to his personal political needs.

Chimpy, on the other hand, plays the "War on Terror" card every chance he gets to advance his own political agenda, yet never lets the war stand in the way of a little R&R.

As Bob Dole used to say, "Where is the outrage?"

31. This President knows no shame.
He is so unaware of his shortcomings that if we spread pictures of him around the world in his underwear like we did Saddam, he wouldn't be phased at all. As long as he has the approval of the shadow government that controls him, he doesn't need anyone else's.
