alrighty, but what about not only the last Bush, but the one before?
'89- '92;
2001- '08
they are not responsible for today, but even taking into account the Gulf wars they both fought, their legacies have tarnished conservatism FOREVER.
cripes!

I noticed you cowards removed my posts earlier today.

What a bunch of losers. I guess it's OK for a wing nut to name call but any name calling in defending oneself results in one's posts being removed.

Anyways, so refreshing and encouraging to have a President who can think and respond intelligently.

And I missed the Jindal response. Did he again mention the waste of taxpayer money on volcanic monitoring? You know, the monitoring that might have saved lives this week.

Better get Palin lined up for 2012. I can't wait. Wholly unbelievable that Palin and Jindal are the best you can do. Or there's the guy who believes the garden of Eden was in Missouri. Maybe he's the one. Or that guy in South Carolina.

As George Bush would say, bring it on!

for once jcarp and me are in partial agreement. Jidal the Swindle is only good enuff to be guvnor of Loweezianna.

'great balls of fire, I'm bodacious,
great balls of fire, i'm a fright,
great balls of fire, i'm bodacious,
i'm chop chop chop chopping with all o' my might'

aww, i spelled Jindal the swindle as Jidal the swindle. tsk tsk.

but why is it 20 years after Reagan left office, Republicans have elected only Bushes? just hacks who serve their sentences for four or eight years and then collect the presidential pensions they don't even need so they can write their phony baloney memoirs about how they Made The Tough Decisions; yeah? well so did Jimmuh.

now, I know AS is no mouthpiece for the Repuglican Party, but there are those former aides to the Bushclone dynasty who write pieces at amspec and who are not going to be all that objective.

Sorry "jharp," nobody who doesn't have the balls to post under their own name and stand by their opinions gets to call anyone else a coward.

Angel| 3.25.09 @ 12:28AM

Thanks, Mr. Antle. The guy's vicious--and he has the nerve to call AmSpec cowards. No Balls Harp.

Brooks, you're full of sh!t. George W. Bush's stellar leadership helped us through those awful says after 9/11, and prevented more terroist attacks. Nutball.

As a 30+-year resident of Anchorage, AK, I can attest to the fact that no one was killed or hurt this week because of the Redoubt eruptions. Same goes for 1989 when it erupted off and on for 6 months. We got a light dusting then, but nothing this time. It all depends on which way the wind is blowing. In any event, it's all pretty routine for most of us. That's probably because the closest town to Redoubt is 50 to 60 miles away and Anchorage is 110.

Jindal was right.

One thing I dont't get about President Happytalk-why does he insist on saying health care is so critical to the ecnomy? He's simply wrong.We do have issues with costs, but none of that would besolved by DMV-style health care.

What health care crisis we do have is illegal immigrants and working poor using the local ER as their GP. We also have an issue with people living stupidly when it comes to diet, excercise and health, but how you solve that is beyond government. We continually here about 43 million uninsured, but once you understand that old people are covered by medicare and young children are covered by state programs, the number is a whole bunch less and mostly young people who decline to have insurance to take the money instead.

Anyone who has relatives in Europe as I do can yell you that waiting for cancer surgery or breast cancer screening is not a superior system. In England and Ireland, churches have set up breat cancer screening programs outside the state system because the wait in the government system is over 1 year.

Above all, Europe has socialized medicine and it's done nothing to alleviate this financial crisis for them. In fact, that governrnent spending is probably making it worse over there. And the health care is significantly worse. But our genius boy president keeps saying this and no one calls him on it.

That last, #4 "Says there will be 'no growth' in the economy if he doesn't get the 'investments' he is requesting." Sounds more like a threat than a true observation. Sounds like the Acorn-President learned his community organizing skills well. Intimidation worked in his past job experience. He's just showing us his true self.
