heh

1. Ooohh.

He also alluded to bush as being an "activist."

Thanks, liveoaktx. Always good to see the nutcases turning on the nutcases.

2. Fred Barnes was full of lies tonight on "Real Time with Bill Maher"

Maher said that there was nothing rebellious about Bush's corporate handouts in the Medicare bill and the Energy bill, and Barnes said that liberals aren't that spending, only small-govt conservatives.

Barnes also said that the whole foreign policy establishment was against invading Iraq, but Bush is a rebel for doing it anyway. Apparently, Barnes wasn't counting "The Project for a New American Century."

3. Barnes is Right

Bush is a REBEL...........That's what the Presidential Power Grab going on in DC is all about.

What else does a rebel do, but grab power.

[Eric J in MN]

6. But he's grabbing power on behalf of the powerful.

Usually, a rebel is someone who empowers the disenfranchsed.

7. the reverse Robin Hood syndrome

I can see that for sure!

[maine_raptor]

8. Sorry, no

Robin Hood is a myth. Power is a strong drug that quickly overcomes the best of intentions. The problem with Bush is that he never had any good intentions to begin with when he took over.

He's a Rebel against the Rule of Law and the Balance of Power that makes the Constitution work.

4. And Harriet Miers said Bush was "cool"

More of the prattle of the insane.

5. Calling Newt Gingrich a "revolutionary," calling George W. Bush

a "rebel," expresssions from people who aren't frank enough to call them CORPORATE WHORES.
