Politico has released a piece that begins as follows: "Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims that it will reduce costs and deficit, and instead stressing a promise to 'improve it.'" This is a truly remarkable sentence. Legislation that the Congressional Budget Office says would cost about $2.5 trillion in its real first decade (2014 to 2023) wouldn't do the one thing that Americans most want out of health-care legislation: cut health care costs. It wouldn't, despite the administration's repeated claims to the contrary, cut deficits. But, on the bright side, it can (allegedly) be improved. That's an amazingly tepid claim to make on behalf of something with Obamacare's price tag. The truth is that Obamacare cannot be improved. It can only be repealed. It was passed as "comprehensive legislation," and it must be repealed comprehensively. The vast majority of Americans recognize this. Rasmussen's latest survey of likely voters shows Americans favoring repeal by the overwhelming tally of 60 to 36 percent. This 24-point margin is Rasmussen's 2nd-highest in the 21 polls it has conducted in the five months since passage, despite, as Politico puts it, "the White House's all-out communications effort" in the interim – much of it at taxpayer expense.

I don't suppose its occurred to you that the tape was made pulling quotes and images out of context and over time to lead you by the nose to just that conclusion.
Why not?
He knows.
"Islam traces its origins back to God's call on Abraham. And Ramadan commemorates the revelation of God's word in the Holy Koran to the prophet Mohammad -- a word that is read and recited with special attention and reverence by Muslims during this season." --George W. "Boy Blunder" Bush 12/10/2002.
If that's the quality of your thinking, why would I take seriously anything you assert?
It's funny how so many people have managed to forget George's position on Islam, just like they've managed to forget that TARP happened under his administration.

Stone was more fun on bozo...
So, if someone yells "holy mackerel", does that mean they worship fish?
Holy shit!!!
You worship fecal matter?
Holy 36DD's!!!!
You mean this position? __ US Muslims bristle at Bush term "Islamic fascists" By Amanda Beck WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Muslim groups criticized President George W. Bush on Thursday for calling a foiled plot to blow up airplanes part of a "war with Islamic fascists," saying the term could inflame anti-Muslim tensions. U.S. officials have said the plot, thwarted by Britain, to blow up several aircraft over the Atlantic bore many of the hallmarks of al Qaeda. "We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations advocacy group. "We ought to take advantage of these incidents to make sure that we do not start a religious war against Islam and Muslims," he told a news conference in Washington. "We urge him (Bush) and we urge other public officials to restrain themselves." Awad said U.S. officials should take the lead from their British counterparts who had steered clear of using what he considered inflammatory terms when they announced the arrest of more than 20 suspects in the reported plot. Hours after the news broke, Bush said it was "a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."
(laughing) Skippy isn't the sharpest knife in the LF drawer....
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Except he described our opponents as 'Islamofacists' and you clowns went nuts, remember, skippy? (roaring with laughter)
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
He's another one of those clowns who professes to be "an independent thinker" yet toes the Democrat Party line all the way.
LOL!
Eric, Bush went out of his way to praise Islam, many, many times. The term "Islamic Fascists" refers to a tiny subset of Islam, not Islam itself.

A full decade, and he's NEVER found a postive thing related to anyone or anything from the GOP...excluding the Spector types of course, that jumped ship. He's a well known quantity, and its laughable he dares to even suggest 'independent thought'.

I just noticed your quote...wasn't Puppy a Poopy? Did US warships get strafed a lot back then...other than by Israel I mean....?
Not every one out there who considers himself a Muslim is familiar enough with the basics of their religion to realize what murdering thugs they are supposed to be. Why would Bush or any statesman want to got out of their way to denigrate these people?
You ever read the Old Testament? You should be shaking in your boots that there are Jews walking around freely.

I believe it was a term made up by Limpbaugh too.

It came from the Fox "News"/Savage Weiner/Limbaugh think tank.

As soon as I posted it Savage came to mind along with his constant bragging rights.

Aha... And we spend how much on REAL ordinance? Seems to be a waste when we can simply grow our own...
You ever read the New Testament? The Jews waged war with those who would destroy their Nation with Godless beliefs and practices. That certainly would not include modern Christians.
I've read the entire book of superstition and fiction. How anyone could take this crap seriously is beyond me.

You're claming that New Testament Jews waged war with Rome? Here's a clue for you. Two other groups separately ruled Palestine longer than the Jews ever did.
A friend who was on an AE until late 1969 told me the only time they were strafed was once by our own planes, and were almost hit by one that ditched close by while they were doing a transfer to another ship.

Several times Two other groups separately ruled Palestine longer than the Jews ever did. What does that have to do with the White House resident being a Kenyan dumbass?
Well,when it comes to Muslims,I suspect his position is the doggie,instead of the Missionary. "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection.

You mean the edited Word of Gawd because Gawd screwed up the original version of his word?

4 words. "The Fear of God". Small children are programed to live in fear of a loving God that will torture them for all eternity for getting a boner. It's hard to overcome the programming you receive as a child.

..is the beginning of all wisdom. Which would explain a lot of the dumbasses around here.
You mean the edited Word of Gawd because Gawd screwed up the original version of his word? Realistically, the NT is actually primarily the Word of Paul, a guy who never met Jesus. An objective view of all of this would indicate that God 1 screwed things up so much that he got his ass fired and replaced with God 2. Being the vicious SOB that he is, God 1 then reappeared as Allah, as mean and vindictive as ever.

Yup. The cult leaders thought they would come up with something more user friendly to attract people and money. Being the vicious SOB that he is, God 1 then reappeared as Allah, as mean and vindictive as ever. You may just be onto something,there.
