How many tough votes has Bush had to cast during his political career? Oh, that's right -- none. Well, then how many vetoes has Bush ever used? Oh, that's right -- none. He's the first president since John Quincy Adams to finish a full term without using a single veto. Not one...

This remark leaves me flabbergasted. Bush has spent more money on focus groups and polls than any other president. He also employs Karl Rove, which is a huge hint and a half. I'm sure you believe Bush spent $2.5 million dollars during the first two years of his term on focus groups and...

I'm guilty of poor wordsmithing on two (even a third that you missed) sentences, and you're guilty of posting redundant information that doesn't exactly counter much of anything I said. My keyword was "specific" -- I knew what I meant and I simply should've clarified it better. So you get a...

Good for you. Where did you get your crystal ball? At the Monroeville Mall where you appeared as one of the zombies in Dawn of the Dead? Seems like that acting gig wasn't much of a stretch for you.
