Friends of President Bush: 'Another four years'

“You’re fixin’ to see what we call a fiscal showdown in Washington,’’ the president said to applause in Rogers, Ark.

Reading this you'd never guess he went to Yale.

The people in Rogers, Arkansas are like good people everywhere in the heartland they don't have to listen or believe the Burwash drivebys. President Bush has integrity and tenacity and doesn't put his finger up like Bill or Hil and wait for a focus group to tell them how the polls would go.
The President is winning the surge, unemployment is low, the stockmarket is high and interest rates are falling, a good economy and his tax cuts have the Treasury flush with money. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Dingy Reid would raise taxes 1 trillion dollars and ruin the economy. 06 was good for the Dems but, they'll find out the people are tired of the blatant use of power the Dems have used with over 650 oversight hearings and they don't effectively govern while drunk with keeping their power. Jerry White, Springfield, IL

The worst thing we could do is run up taxes as this economy is growing,’’ President Bush said today at a campaign-styled stump appearance in northwestern Arkansas. “You’re fixin’ to see what we call a fiscal showdown in Washington,’’ the president said to applause in Rogers, Ark.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...Prez Chimpy forgot to mention that while he and the Republicks had control of things (2000 - 2006) they nearly doubled our National debt.

The Republicans don't want to raise your taxes, they want to keep charging it to your credit card so your grandkids can worry about paying back China and not them.

President Bush could urinate on the cheerleaders of his incompetency and they will thank him and ask for more of the same. That's the sad lesson of blind allegiance.

Good point. I also find it notable that his daughter Jenna, who had the double misfortune of growing up (1) in Texas and (2) with this awful beast for a father, speaks like a perfectly intelligent person, sans nitwit drawl? Can't be that Georgie's twang is affected, can it?

Rogers, Arkansas? Bush is really having to dig deep in the backwaters to find any remaining pockets of support. And for the the buffoon that wished for another 4 years, why not just make him dictator-in-chief? An obvious hotbed of American intellect.

Mr. President,'' a young girl asked, "When do you think there will be a girl president for the Republican Party?''

"You took my line,'' Bush replied. "I think there will be lady president and she will be a Republican…"

And that woman will be named Hillary Clinton.

"When do you think there will be a girl president for the Republican Party?''

"You took my line,'' Bush replied. "I think there will be lady president and she will be a Republican… I’ve seen women who are plenty capable of being president of the United States... and capable of making sure they stick to principle... One of the worst things you can do is chase a poll.''

Of course, Shrubby could have answered her question. But then of course, the answer would be 'never'. Same response for an African American Republican.

The treasury is flush with money????

Tell me Jerry - just what is the budget SURPLUS these days?? You know - like back when Bill Clinton was President??

Rogers, Arkansas indeed. It's World Headquarters of the KKK.

Reducing taxes is meaningless unless is accompanied by a corresponding reduction in spending. Otherwise, the government will merely rack up more debt.

The inverse is also true. Reduce spending and the need for taxation goes away.

The same is true for waste. Reduce waste and increase government efficiency and responsibility, and the need to tax to cover government shortfalls is reduced.

The above represents simple, common sense lessons from history. All of them have been lost on our President and Congress.

Yep, Jerry, I'm sure Karl Rove never used a focus group or research study. Him an' them other fellas would just amble down to the General Store, sit a spell and speak with the folks who come by.

Sure.

This proves American has the largest population of resident idiots of any country in the world.

John E- I am with you on the republican spending- while a lot of that can be attributed to nat'security, Katrina and two wars- THe front running DEM candidate will dwarf that spending.

More importantly, you are ignoring the RECORD incoming tax receipt revenue that this administration is reponsible for- AFTER a tax cut..! How cool was that?

Jerry White

I'd seriously like to know if you are related to President Bush?

All I've ever seen you do is repeat nonsensical talking points over and over again. Do you realize your credibility is on a par with the President's? Zero.

I would say that I appreciate your optimism, but you wouldn't repeat the truth if it killed you.

I know enough about GWB to suspect that having him for a father would be a disaster: pigheaded; alcoholic; arrogant; lacks compassion; dumb; a bully. Not the stuff of a great father.

I've lived in Chicago all my life and I've spend a good deal of time with Texans on business. I'll take Chicagoans every time (not to say that Texas is devoid of quality people -- it's just that they're long on morbidly overweight, gun toting, pickup truck driving morons).

(To himself)"Tarnation! Theres black licorice coming out the bottom of this here gizmo...strange."

Perhaps they forgot to mention that the BBQ in Arkansas was the National Village Idiot Convention.

Is it any wonder that Bush would be asked to address it?

Bush replied: "One of the worst things you can do is chase a poll."

Yeah, that "Of The Pepole, For The People and By The People" thing is so old fashioned.

Look at this arrogant dictator-in-chief's record and hypocrisy.

When the issue is gay marriage, and whenever he denies this group of Americans their constitutional rights (and Declaration of Independence for that matter, i.e. "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"), all he ever says is "the will of the people" (read: polls!!).

And I am fully aware that Clinton signed the "defense of marriage act" and disgreed with him on the issue, as well.

What black women are running on the dem. side?
How many black women did your clintons apoint to high level positions? don't try to show some anti-black racism in the Bush admin. It's rejects like yourself that spread hate and fear to minorities.

I have seen you debating the issue of race here a couple of times. I have to ask......Why is it then that the democrats hold a large majority of the black vote? Could it be that they could see through the republican push to capture the south by luring voters with keeping civil rights as a state issue not federal?

Yeah, Bush is a hell of a swell guy. Just a regular Joe. Don't you wish you could go out and have a beer with him? Wow, that would be neat. Gee willikers. Yikes.

Four more years? How clueless was this crowd?

This country will be lucky to survive the rest of Bush's term.

Only in AK can Bush pull in an audience of idiots of such caliber. How many billions spent per month on his war? Fiscal showdown exactly - Congress should cut off funding for this disaster called IRAQ and funnel it to the folks (Americans) who need it the most.

Wow, so many posts from the worst mankind has to offer: the Loony Left.

Texans are good people. Blinkin, obviously you do not open your eyes to all the overweight folks I see here in the Chicago area.

There are lots of good folks in the Chicago area, don't get me wrong. But there also is a lot of (bad): practically any Democrat, really.

Rogers AR???!!!

Next stop...Fritters AL!!!
All white, all defense industry contractors, high school diploma...a whopping 75 % !!!

Northwestern Arkansas...one of the last bastions of the angry white man. Home to Wal Mart...need I say more?

Four More years… Four More Years… The only thing standing in the way is the Constitution and the will of the people.

Of course we have overcome those “quaint” obstacles before.

Anyone who supports strapping future generations of Americans with the bill for this irresponsible, ill-advised and illegal invasion of Iraq is a horrible American citizen. Anyone who supported tax cuts while also supporting sending other people off to war is the epitome of the MOST IRRESPONSIBLE GENERATION in American history.

I love how it's these welfare states like Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi, where idiots support these tax cuts when they're not even paying in the amounts they receive back in entitlements. I guess the way these bad citizens see it is that since they're already getting a tax handout provided by residents of other states, we'll likely be the ones paying for their irresponsibility (and sense of entitlement) down the road too.

It's time we got these "conservative" states off of blue-state-provided welfare and passed along the tax burden to the people who get the most government hand outs.

Bill R., the states should have the right to govern themselves. There are civil rights laws in all states. You must think that it's legal to go to southern states and beat up or kill black people. There already are federal laws that prosecutes anyone who denies someone thier civil rights.

Yeah, Bush is a hell of a swell guy. Just a regular Joe. Don't you wish you could go out and have a beer with him? Wow, that would be neat. Gee willikers. Yikes.

I think it would be kinda cool to have a beer with GWB. Although, Dick Cheney would be really fun to drink with. exept, when he's got a shotgun! lol
You all find so much pleasure in making fun of Bush, don't you ever get upset that he keeps outsmarting the left?

"Only in AK can Bush pull in an audience of idiots of such caliber. " -- RJ, while I'm sure there's no shortage of ignorant, blind-to-reality Republican voters in Alaska, the postal abbreviation for Arkansas is "AR."

b...Surely you have heard of the "Southern Strategy"?
It was the republicans idea to secure the white southern vote using race as an issue. This was back in the 60's....before then, the south was a stronghold for the democrats.

Oh I get it...

They used to book him where he'd get friendly audiences (NRA).

They used to book him where he'd get captive audiences (the military).

Now they book him where the literacy rate is low.

I for one am glad Bush got re-elected. If someone else had one, they would have been blamed for the mess in Iraq. I could just see him saying, "I would have won it by now." In a way I'd like to see him do another four years, for the same reason, but I don't think the world could survive it.

" I’ve seen women who are plenty capable of being president of the United States... "

Of course, by Bush standards, anyone is qualified.

b,

Of course, you can't have a beer with GWB; He doesn't drink and can't hold his likker when he did. (Unless of course you want to end up in a fist fight or a DUI arrest.)

You would do better having a drink with John Kerry. He can at least hold a couple drinks, and has a much steadier hand on the trigger, literally.

I suppose there are a lot of 'good people' in Texas. Janis Joplin, Bill Moyers, SRV, and others come to mind.

I recall in the US Army meeting many southerners and liking them. In fact, best man and first witness were both sons of the South.

But in three years I never met a likable Texan. (I'm sure they exist,) They acted like they had something to prove.

"Rogers, Arkansas indeed. It's World Headquarters of the KKK."

Actually, Harrison, Arkansas, about 90 miles east of Rogers, is the World Headquarters of the KKK.

Please don't accuse W of pandering to the extreme far Right.

Dubbs, as far as folks blindly following someone or something or folks being ignorant, the fact your buddy doesn't know the difference between AR and AK is a shining example of just how ignorant and dumb those on the Left are.
My encounters with the Left, in person and in the Swamp, is that intelligence, common sense and just plain having a clue are three attributes one wouldn't associate with the Left.

"BIG POPPY SPEAKS TO AMERICA" BRING IT ON!

What is that!

The dollar is at an all time low. A barrell of oil is at 85.00. POPPY IS UP AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. IRAQ HAS OUR TREASURY IN A MOSQUE SOMEWHERE.

BUT BIG POPPY SPEAKS! PAT ROBERTS CAME TO ME IN THE NIGHT, AND I HEAR THE VOICES AGAIN.

"WE GOT TIME ON OUR SIDE, JUST 462 DAYS" No Justice Department across the Nation. WHY? NO LAW OF THE LAND, SECULAR ETHNO WARS IN THE STREETS? QUESTIONING OF ONES NATIONALITY AT your local MCDOLANDS across america.

What a JOKE!

"ETHNO SECULAR MINDED AMERICANS SPEAK"

FOUR MORE YEARS OF WHAT!

NO DAILY BRIEF READING ALLOWED! 4000 DEAD CIVILIANS BEFORE 9AM LIVE ON TELEVISION JUST BEFORE PRESIDENT BUSH LIVE IN A 2ND GRADE CLASSROOM WAITING TO READ.....

SEE SPOT RUN, SEE AMERICA RUN

George Tenet!John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales, Fred Fielding, and Regents University Graduates, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and most of all NO DIPLOMACY CONDI RICE.

EAVESDROPPING, WIRETAPPING OF AMERICAN CITIZENS WITH an illegal adhesion clause that gives immunity to AMERICAN CORPORATIONS THAT COMMITTED CRIMES AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION DURING WAR TIME WHICH IS TREASON! YEA!

FOUR MORE YEARS OF THE GOP CULTURE OF CORRUPTION STOMP ON AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES AND MY CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Did they not swear to uphold that? I thought so, Live on Fox News too.

FOUR MORE YEARS OF A FAILED IRAQ, AFGANISTAN WAR POLICY/OCCUPATION POLICY.

So AT THE END OF THE DAY, GEORGE BUSH WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EITHER RECALL OR PROVIDE ANY PAPER TRAIL OF HIS SUCCESSES OR FAILURES!

9 TRILLION DOLLARS LATER, AMERICA MYSTIFIED WITH ITS OWN STUPIDITY. HOW DID WE LET THIS HAPPEN WITHOUT IMPEACHING EVERYTHING HE EVER SAID OR DID!

WHERE IS SUPERMAN WHEN YOU NEED TO TURN AMERICA BACK ABOUT 6 YEARS 10 MONTHS AND TOO MANY DAYS PASSED!

My encounters with the Left, in person and in the Swamp, is that intelligence, common sense and just plain having a clue are three attributes one wouldn't associate with the Left.

By addressing Jerry White (from Springfield, IL!), you only make him stronger.

Alt Caption;(Bush with mic)

"Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen.
Thank you for all the joy and pain.
Picture shows, second balcony, was the place we'd meet, second seat, go Dutch treat, you were sweet. "

C. Morris,

I believe that WAS Jerry White addressing himself to make himself appear stronger.

LOL.

It's funny how George always ends up digging into the deep rural South for support. Says a lot about the ignorance of his constituents. I've driven across the sand fly infested state of Arkansas and I can honestly say, that place is a hotbed of intellectual depravity. Plenty of sheep and lambs for King George. Scary that anyone would want ANY President not to step down after they have served. These people want a monarchy, not a Republic. Bush has systematically compromised the US Constitution with his abuse of power and it will only hurt our country's balance of power in the future. When is America going to stop enabling this abuse of Presidental power? And as for higher taxes, what about the $330,000 per minute cost of Bush's illegal war? Who is going to pay for that. I think the American people who put him in power should.
