You just jump at any chance to get in a dig, don't you?

What we seem to have proven here is that it isn't likely that we can all agree on anything.

As of July 14th, 2006 at 9:43 EST there are 26 members of the NPC.


There. We can all agree on that. (Unless someone kicks the bucket in the next 30 seconds.)

After his last post I couldn't resist anymote

I was describing douchebags. George W. is not one of those. He may be an asshole, but he's our asshole, and personally, I'm proud of him.

What's so bad about the jersey shore? Don't have a fondness for mullets, Z28's, gold chains and tribal tattoos I see.

I don't understand the whole culture surrounding GW Bush. Personally I feel he is just a "average" president. I don't get how some people think he is the greatest president we've ever had. I know some people who group him with Washington and Lincoln, while others group him with Hitler and Satan. In my view he is far the greatest, but also far from the worst. Mediocre.

Haha, yeah, the Jersey Shore makes me cringe. You're right about Bush I think. I honestly don't know many who think he's a great president. I think he's a great person, and that he is a bold leader. I think it will take time to see what his legacy is. However, while his policy is bold, I think he should be even more so. I want to see a tough president, one who goes after the press, and doesn't let them simply ridicule the office. Somebody needs to slap the media around, knock them off their high horse of "doing service to the public." They are corporate goons, like the oil men they so often associate with Bush. Bush also needs to play Hardball in Congress, but the lack of Republican power in the Senate and House is not his fault. I mean, seriously, does Frist or Hastert scare anyone? You think Nancy Pelosi could run her mouth like she does when Newt was Speaker? No way. She would be shunned, backroom dealt, and made to look like a fool in the public arena. I think Bush is a decent president, one who has faced a great deal of problems, and dealt with them in a manner he saw fit. May work, may not, but his leadership in times of crisis is fairly good. He's no Reagan, but this is a different world we live in. Fear not Republicans, power and authority is on the way, via Mitt Romney. Anyone else see him talking about the Big Dig yesterday? Some reporter asked him if he wanted the resignation of the person overseeing the project and Romney said something along the lines of "No I don't want his resignation, I want termination."

I'm really looking forward to the primary's myself. I'm still not sure about Romney, but McCain and Guiliani might give him some problems just on name recognition alone. I still want to see if the Dems are going to run Clinton for president or not. If they do, they might as well forfeit the elections.

[shinerbock]

I'm excited too. However, McCain and Guiliani are both poor choices in my opinion. McCain is so middle of the road it disgusts me. Guiliani I think is a good leader, but I question whether he would be a great leader in peace time or in times without crisis. I think the best candidates for the republicans are George Allen and Romney, although Romney is a much more ideal politician and a powerful speaker. For the Dems, I'm sure Hillary will be in the mix, but she can't win. I think Edwards is still their best shot, although him going to bat for Kerry in 04 absolutely ruined what he had going. He was the unifying candidate, a southern gentleman who didn't go negative until Kerry picked him up. I think the majority of the advantage for the Dems will come in 06, when they may pick up the Senate, but I think it'll fizzle before 08. The democrats still fail to initiate any type of agenda, other than destroying what the GOP wants to achieve. But what do you expect when you put someone like Howard Dean in charge of your party.

Besides his awkwardness over being Mormon and the shitshow that spawns every time he has to talk about it, Romney is also a carpetbagging douche on the same level as Hilary Clinton.
