Re: New words for 2015

Sorry, I don't see this that 'America decided that it believed in itself after all'. All America did was choose one guy over another, somethign that happens every 4 years for over 200 years. On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:35 AM, Dana wrote: > Michael, > > Despite I deep respect for you personally,

Re: Last words on Bush

Michael, Despite I deep respect for you personally, you are totally wrong on this. I don't hate Bush and I don't think Gruss does. I think he was a bad president not because I don't like him but because he trampled the constitution, trashed the economy, and blew off the rest of the world. I am ama

I'm on my second glass of wine, terrible, horrible cold mixed with ibuprofren and cough drops (not conducive to the taste of wine to start with), and that still wasn't funny ... Ok. So it was mildly amusing. I'm glad it was spit through my nose funny. At this particular point, that would of been

RE: Last words on Bush

As a new guy, and not overly informed, I doubt my 0.02 matters much. But since I have a keyboard in front of me, a glass of wine, and ten working digits I might as well state it anyway. I'm normally with Gruss with most things anti-bush, but I have to agree with Michael Dino a lot here. Firstly w

You offer no evidence, merely your continue whining about how it's all Bush's fault. If you can't come off it, I for one am filtering you out, because I'm tired of the broken record. On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 1:37 PM, Gruss G wrote: > > > A responsible leader accepts responsibility for decisions.

Re: Last words on Bush

No, I'm suffering from TAS - true accountability syndrome. This is where no single person or group has TOTAL accountability when they are not TOTALLY in charge. As the article shows, it is impossible to assign total accountability to Bush for all the things you want to. Your argument that its all h
