January 11th, 2006 at 4:01 pmAhh I see Now, the Yellow Elephants, as usual, are concerned only with their me-me society, and of course not serving the country they claim Citizenship too. Cloaked Racism.
January 11th, 2006 at 4:05 pmThe Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP) was a group of politically conservative former Princeton University students that existed between 1972 and 1986. Its initial purpose was to **protest Princeton’s position prohibiting recruitment by the ROTC**. CAP also opposed affirmative action designed to increase minority attendance at the Ivy League institution, though it supported affirmative action for athletes and the children of alumni. CAP also exhibited strong support for Princeton’s eating clubs.
Did you ever serve Sam Alito?
January 11th, 2006 at 4:06 pmOr did you Hide behind your Princeton group think?
How so are you a Patriot? Will your Blood, Sam Alito, work in another Humans Body, no matter what Color the Skin, or the Schooling or Education one receives?
If one gets a Blood transfusion from a person, Hypothetically speaking, and that Person has known Mental problems, and you SAM, hypothetical ‘SAM’, get this Persons Blood, Will your IQ Diminish?
If not then Why did the Princeton Society not want to Serve in ROTC, or have them Recruit there?
Does Intelligence and Wealth preclude you from serving? If so, How? Are you not an American Citizen?
January 11th, 2006 at 4:12 pmWhere are the non-stop news flashes about Bush’s approval rating now….when he moved 4 percent (within the Margin of error) the news broadcasts almost tripped over themselves to say “Bush approval ratings are up”
now they return to the level they were before I dont see one single story regarding it…..thats the “liberal” media for ya I guess…

Duh.

Comment by Samuel Alito
And after Rotc, where did you serve? Which branch did you fulfill the commitment you agreed to when signing up for ROTC?
January 11th, 2006 at 4:26 pmlet me give you a hint, did you go into the guard or full enlistment? Again what branch?
That 38 percent is a tribute to Trailer Parks across America.
I just didn’t know there were so many of them. :|
January 11th, 2006 at 4:39 pmFunny how a majority of “REAL AMERICANS” disapprove of George W. Bush. :-)
January 11th, 2006 at 4:49 pmHey, WORFEUS, I live in a trailer park. Where are you, in one of them up-town mansions? Doesn’t make you a bigger Bush-hater than me, that’s for sure. Gotta go now and water my plastic flowers.
January 11th, 2006 at 5:10 pmFunny how “Sam Alito” cannot answer my questions, could it be because he is not truthfull about his statement he served in ROTC? I think so.
Now we know you for being an untruthfull troll.
January 11th, 2006 at 5:15 pmRECENT DEFEATS suffered by bushy — in Congress and in the courts — indicate more than his overreach and underachievement. His languishing fortunes suggest something more consequential: deep rifts in the conservative movement.
With binocular vision, people tend to see only two sides in politics. So right and left alike have frequently misunderstood conservatives as a solid monolith. Republicans’ control of Congress and Bush’s 2004 victory gave weight to the belief that the GOP is not only a victory machine but a unified bloc.
But just review the last month for a fuller picture. A Republican-run Congress, over White House objections, has opposed torture and disallowed oil drilling in Alaska. It refused to extend the Patriot Act for more than five weeks while it took time out to consider civil liberties. Congress also passed a fierce measure against immigration without Bush’s guest-worker program. Stringent budget cuts that the White House had supported passed the Senate only thanks to Vice President Dick Cheney’s tie-breaking vote. Bagman-lobbyist-crony Jack Abramoff is poised to blow the whistle on conservative legislators.
Meanwhile, conservative judges — some appointed by Bush himself — have been upending policies beloved of other conservatives. U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III of Pennsylvania ruled against intelligent-design campaigners. Judge J. Michael Luttig of the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals deplored the shunting of Jose Padilla from one court to another in an attempt to avert a decision, saying the administration had incurred what may prove to be “substantial cost to the government’s credibility.”
Bloggers have taken to calling such judges “RINOS” — Republicans In Name Only.
In Congress, Republicans such as Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) and Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) have broken with Bush’s bravado in Iraq. And now, Bush’s exertions of executive power in the National Security Agency’s warrantless wiretapping have crossed the political DMZ — the editorial page editor of the conservative business weekly Barron’s has asked the House Judiciary Committee to consider impeaching the president. “Administration lawyers and the president himself have tortured the Constitution and extracted a suspension of the separation of powers,” Thomas G. Donlan wrote. “If we don’t discuss the [wiretap] program and the lack of authority for it, we are meeting the enemy — in the mirror.”
LOL!!! Can you say ELECTION YEAR?
Look at the rats running off the sinking ship!
January 11th, 2006 at 5:43 pmROFLMAO!!!!!!!
its 9% worldwide support bush and most of that 9% live in america …..America has 6% of the world population so lets see that dumb ass 38% in america are the only ones than ……impeach him the world does not want that mass murdering president around
January 11th, 2006 at 5:54 pmWhat a surprise. TP clings to another poll weighted down with Democrats.
Democrats: 32%
Republicans: 28%
But this poll is one point in favor of Republicans from the Dec 2005 poll
Democrats: 34%
Republicans: 29%
In fact, most of Pew’s polls (12 of 15) since last year have favored Democrats by 4 points or more.
But what’s really ironic about this poll is that it shows that nobody cars about all of the contrived scandals being pimped by the liberal spin machine.
January 11th, 2006 at 6:01 pm#21 – agreed. Most Americans just want in Iraq and here at home. They are tired of the left-wing witch hunts and smear merchants that drive the Democrats.

Which proves that very few of us are worthy of being American citizens…
The rest of you disgusting animal furkers deserve to be nuked!!!
May it be in your neighborhood, you self righteous treasonous bast*rd…

In general the population is weighted down by Democrats, it’s why Republicans have to resort to stealing elections. You heard the news this week that they’ve tied Abramoff to the Ohio and Diebold election scandal didn’t you? Don’t worry, now you have.
January 11th, 2006 at 7:50 pmIn fact, most of Pew’s polls (12 of 15) since last year have favored Democrats by 4 points or more.
.. nobody cars about all of the contrived scandals being pimped by the liberal spin machine. Steed Lankershim
I assume you meant ‘cares’, well actually they do. The majority of americans now say they prefer democrats to run the government, and that Abramoff is a SERIOUS scandal. Clearly you’ve watched faux news too much, because this is a well known, and frankly obvious fact.
As for 4%, well lets put that in perspective. In a presidential election, that’s a spread of 5 million americans. You may think that’s “no-one”, but then again, you actually believe in a flat earth, and talking donkies, so what do I know.
January 11th, 2006 at 7:56 pmafter the bushcriminal freely and proudly proclaiming to be king, I’m a bit taken that his approval isn’t 10% (the ultra fringe idolators only). At 38% that’s a heck of a large percentage of the population to be ultra fringe idolators.
January 11th, 2006 at 8:00 pmWhat a surprise. TP clings to another poll weighted down with Democrats.
Comment by Steed Lankershim — January 11, 2006 @ 6:01 pm
Translation: I hate it when pollsters ask the opinion of those who disagree with me. Political opinion surveys should only include Republicans… who agree with me.
In fact, most of Pew’s polls (12 of 15) since last year have favored Democrats by 4 points or more.
Translation: Ditto. Plus I really dream of a time when dissent will not be allowed in the US.
But what’s really ironic about this poll is that it shows that nobody cars about all of the contrived scandals being pimped by the liberal spin machine.
Translation: I am going to try to deflect, sound angry, outraged, and insulting, when I am actually happy that all the crookedness of this administration hasn’t sunked Pres. Bush’s approval rate even further.
January 12th, 2006 at 12:45 amGeorge Bush Hosts a Tea Party
Jan – 2006
http://tvnewslies.org/html/george_bush_hosts_a_tea_party.html
What is the use of repeating all that stuff, if you don’t explain it as you go on? – Mock Turtle: Alice in Wonderland
And what a party it was! It actually made page ten of the NY Times, and that’s pretty impressive nowadays for anything involving George Bush’s war. Did you happen to see the guest list? Wow! Really wow!
The folks on the guest list were the most powerful and possibly the best and the brightest ever to work alongside American presidents going back nearly half a century. These dignified men and women were 13 former secretaries of state and defense, all of whom undeniably had a vast range of experience and knowledge about war and peace. They came to share what they knew. But they came to Wonderland.
Oh, what a lovely photo op it turned out to be: The Hatter, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice surrounded by history. The names were so terribly impressive: Powell, Cohen, Albright, McNamara, Schlesinger, Schultz, Haig, Carlucci, Perry, Brown, Eagleburger and Baker. They had served presidents from JFK to their present host. These were the real heavyweights of government. They came to pass on their wisdom and their expertise in a time of terrible chaos.
They came for tea, but they got baloney.
It was an all inclusive bipartisan bash. The Mad Hatter had run into really big trouble in Iraq and things were getting worse. He needed applause from all sides amid the chaos. He needed approval from people of stature amid the bloodshed. So he threw a party, and the big wigs came. How important he must have felt. Wow!
The Hatter might actually have consulted with his guests. He might actually have asked them for advice and direction. He might have actually benefited from their combined expertise, but he didn’t. Being mad, he brought them to his party to con them for nearly forty minutes. He touted his policies and his stay-the-course philosophy and entertained his guests with an upbeat assessment of his disastrous and failed war. It was truly tasteless baloney.
AND THEY REFUSED TO APPLAUD
