1. Heh heh... you know he's sunk when the freepers talk shit about him

and the posts aren't deleted!

The mind boggles. Of all the legislation that he could have vetoed up to now (CFR and bloated budgets come to mind), he chooses this one to finally learn how to spell "veto"!

[timber84]

2. my fav so far:

To: Lunatic Fringe
Way to go. Bush goes against the majority of Congress and 70% of American people to push his personal religious point of view.
Mr President, where was your veto pen when it came to CFR, bloated budgets, and dozens of other bad bills????

5. What's CFR? n.t.

[Submariner]

11. Code of Federal Regulations

to protect the environment.

[Beetwasher]

17. No, Not That CFR, I Think He Means Campaign Finance Reform

FYI, the Code of Fed Regs (CFR) is not not about protecting the environment...It's more to do w/ administrative governmental requirements and regulations for a whole host of things, for example cost principles for spending federal funding (I work w/ them on a daily basis).

[Submariner]

33. I work with the CFRs covering environmental regs

as an ecologist, so I immediately thought of the Code of Fed Regs. Thanks for the heads up.

[Beetwasher]

39. They're Fun Aren't They?

Gotta love those Federal Regulations! :evilgrin: For even more fun, try some OMB Circulars.

[Minnesota Libra]

3. Oh, my, I thought the neocons/fundies loved idiot boy, seems........

....that love affair may have ended. :rofl:

[RaleighNCDUer]

26. Oh, there are plenty out there, I've met them, who have distrusted

him from the beginning

because he was not conservative enough.

You know, the "we wouldn't be in Iraq today if we'd nuked it in 2001" crowd.

[KyuzoGator]

36. Being a lunatic doesn't have much to do with being conservative.

I wish Bush were more conservative, too. He's nowhere near being conservative.

[skipos]

4. And this is why this veto will hurt the GOP in November

at least a little bit.

[happynewyear]

7. good!

I hope it finishes them off in November!

Damn them!

It was the only hope I had left going for me!

:kick:

[Montauk6]

6. EGADS! That site's interface is SO annoying

I gave up with the idiot with the sig "The Democratic Party is the party of TREASON"

Anyway, why would the freepcreeps be so hot and bothered over this? This is the clown THEY BACKED and now they want to cry foul??? It's not like no one saw this coming, and besides, I thought that this was supposedly such a point of pride that Bush doesn't cater to popularity polls when he makes a "dicideration." They should be high-fiving instead of running from their own blind right-wing myopia.

[timber84]

9. Actually I believe this is just a sample of how his base is

leaving him. I do not believe they are very happy with him.

[tabasco]

13. Because they are unprincipled scumbags that don't care if

the Nation goes down the toilet as long as it's their fuhrer doing the flushing.

They know this will hurt AWOL Bush and the true party of treason -->> the republicans.

[raysr]

18. "Thank god for this good man"

Shit, I read too far.

[Mojambo]

8. That has got to be the single most delusional place on the Internets n/t

[napi21]

10. Most of the darn posters there LOVE what he did!

I rarely click on a link to fundy land, but you peaked my curisoty. By far, the majority of them are THRILLED! Sure there are some dissenters, but they sure seem to be in the minority, at least on FR.

I HOPE these folks are the extremists of the RW, and Shrub and his Pub buddies will suffer severly for this move!

[Rude Horner]

14. I noticed that too

I think the number of freeps supporting his decision far outnumber the freeps who don't like it. Most are saying stuff like "God bless the president" and crap like that. :puke:

[Jack_Dawson]

19. It's actually "piqued"

:beer:

[napi21]

20. Oh give me a break! You knew what I meant! n/t

[Autonomy]

12. Here's one I find too annoying to be funny

"Good for the President! All I can say is, if embryonic stem cell research is the boon to medicine that some say, why is federal funding needed to conduct it? Don't Glaxo Smith-Kline and Pfizer and Bayer have their own R&D funds????"

This one really bit from the 'free market religion' apple. There are many, MANY diseases that could be cured if it were profitable to cure them. Just saw a show the other day about how Parkinson's could have been cured by now if there were funding. There are numerous examples of such diseases, most are rare, some are not so rare. Stem cell research is another example of the failure of market principles to improve life. People like the freeper quoted above spread like a cancer, and are just as deadly.

Market principles produce Viagra, not necessarily cures for deadly diseases. That's why we need federal funding. Bush is the Cancer-in-Chief.

[RaleighNCDUer]

27. Yep. The profit is in treating symptoms while leaving the root

cause alone. You cure the disease, you're killing the goose, not collecting the eggs.

[tkmorris]

28. Imagine the Manhattan Project

If it had been required to show a profit.

Now that I think about it that may not have been such a bad idea. A good deal of the focus would have been shifted towards utilizing fission as an energy source, rather than a destructive force.

[NewJeffCT]

42. Why do you think we're short flu vaccine almost every year?

There is a lot more profit in Viagra than there is in the flu vaccine.

[C_U_L8R]

15. Silly Republicans

Divided and conquered THEMSELVES !

[timber84]

16. Ok guys which one of you is this poster?

To: Blackirish
An apple seed is not an apple tree. An embryo is not a human being until it is a fetus.
But we have a bunch of brainwashed fools who let their religion rule their lives. Pathetic.

22. I am surprised not one mentioned the fact that Nancy Reagon

campaigned for this and is on the side of stem cell research.

[kiki]

34. Love that sig...

Apparently, liberals support AIDS.

I imagine the irony of this guy posting in a thread to support a president who's just caused a huge setback to the fight against deadly disease is utterly lost on the poster...

[SlipperySlope]

23. Let them eat each other

Internecine warfare is the best

[timber84]

24. Meandog calling, meandog....

show yourself

:To: Faith
Thank you, Dear God, that our President has chosen life and truth. May Your Name be praised and glorified! Amen.
So "life" now begins in a test tube, eh? Well, I've read the Bible many times and I see many references to "womb" mentioned where life begins but I have yet to have seen the word "test tube". Please enlighten me and tell me where I might find it so I can join with you who worship a zygote and blastocyst that would (and by law in cases where owners demand often are) ordinarily be discarded instead of used for research as, IMHO, perhaps God would want SO WE COULD INDEED SAVE MORE WHO CHOOSE TO LIVE!

25. OMFG!!!!!

Craziest post ever:
To: Lunatic Fringe
If we must save all human embryos, we must save all human sperm cells, since they are just as important in creating a human being. It is now a mortal sin to waste sperm.
No sex of any kind unless it is specifically to make babies.

29. goes to show yas.....

:rofl:

[Ian David]

30. Tell them that stem cells can "cure" homosexuality. heh heh. n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

31. "It is now a mortal sin to waste sperm.--muleskinner "

Idiot!

[XemaSab]

40. I thought that sounded tongue-in-cheek

[leesa]

43. I did too, but a lot of Fundies do say that the only reason for sex

is procreation, yet they continue to have sex with their mate if they are infertile or postmenopausal....go figure!

[tanyev]

32. LOL! What the front page says:

Who reads FR?
Over 200,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic since inception in 1996 and our forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and all around the world. Oh, we're big stuff all right: See Traffic Rank on Alexa.com.

What the current Alexa traffic graph looks like:

http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?w=379&h=216&r=6m&z=&y=r&u=freerepublic.com/&u=

Looks like Mr. Big Stuff needs some of Rush's Viagra.



The other funny thing is, I've looked for this article over there several times today. Nobody seems to want to talk about it over there. (Although I might be missing it--their search engine is crap.)

GOP Rep: Iraq 'Worse Than I Expected - Time For Partial Withdrawal'
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1672666

[Ganja Ninja]

35. The freeps may bitch about Bush for this or that but the real reason

they're complaining is the war. They're pissed off that he's bungled the war. They don't want to admit it because that would mean they're agreeing with the anti-war left. So they will find other reasons to complain. They'll fain some outrage over stem-cell research or spending or environmental regs or immigrants but deep down it's the war. They're stuck with defending a losing cause and looking like morons. Life's a bitch.

[Swamp Rat]

37. We are ALL eating our own... humanity is doomed.

[datasuspect]

38. somtimes "both houses"

(meaning FR and DU) seem like a collection of giddy monkeys merrily throwing shit at each other.

meaning, there are plenty of times where shit i see here really is not different at all from what they do there. just a different focus and set of assumptions. the net result being the same, cf. the current electronic diahrrea explosion regarding israel and lebanon.

[helderheid]

41. Love this one

To: Lunatic Fringe
Bush goes against the majority of Congress and 70% of American people to push his personal religious point of view.

He is though on the side that a majority of conservative reps are.
Your claim that 70% of Americans favor embryonic stem cell culling is an outright lie. If you don't appreciate living in a country founded on the precepts of Judeo-Christianity then I'd suggest you vacate the United States.
