The selected quotes don't seem ancient to me.  1950 is not exactly the stone age.  And you will notice we don't quote Bush around here much.  We are conservatives and we prefer conservative wisdom.  One of the problems with liberals is they lack any sense of history and perspective.

In the meantime the buffoon that runs this country is spouting them out left and right. "Make no mistake about it, I understand how tough it is, sir. I talk to families who die." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Dec. 7, 2006

"The only way we can win is to leave before the job is done." --George W. Bush, Greeley, Colo., Nov. 4, 2006

"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." --George W. Bush, interview with CBS News' Katie Couric, Sept. 6, 2006

Well, I'm not sure exactly what your point is - especially picking those specific quotes; but my personal favorite Bushism was "Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their,... their love, with women all across the country."

Well, ebba's point is that since GWB says stupid things and therefore then all conservatives must be equally stupid as the man we mistakenly voted for.  And even worse, we must also be hypocritical since we are pointing out the truly, remarkably stupid things liberal democrats say.  

It is a variation of BDS.  I thougth you had sat through the "strategery" session and "learnded" that by now.

I think some forget that G.W. B. is not a Conservative. He was the Compromise.

By Quoting Jefferso, Madison, and Thoreau, I Ignore the Post Heading and Reclaim some of the Greats away from Liberal Totalitarianism's misuse of Their Cause. Liberty, Voice, Individualism, will Survive You Ebba, It's in the DNA.

It is amazing how conservatives are mad at GWB for spending too much while liberals are mad because he has spent too little on social programs and anything on the war.  We think he is not conservative enough and they think he is Hitler reincarnated.  What an odd position for GWB.  

But Bush put himself in this position.  You can never satisfy the left by compromising with them.  No matter how much you give them it is not enough and you are still a republican.  John McCain should be able to connect the dots and see where he will be in a year should he actually win the election.  But he probably won't.

Actually, McCain is well on his way to being the next Repub rep and possibly on his way to being the next president. The losers are falling like flies. First it was the joke of a candidate Fred Thompson to bite the dust. Then it was the worthless pig Guiliani. Now Mitt Romney, the one who stood to continue all of the failed current policies, is officially a loser. Ron Paul consistently records about 4% and has no chance. Huckabee, while putting up a fight, appears to be outgunned. McCain may well win if he is put in against the villified Hillary Clinton. However, Obama is coming on strong on the Democratic side and may well be able to take it all.

Ebba, what grade did you receive in your college economics 101 & 102 courses?

Eyas moves in for the kill.  What makes you think he is a college grad?  What makes you think he ever took an econ course?  

BTW, I had a 4.0 cum GPA in all my Econ courses.  I got a minor in Econ.

Dude, don't spill the beans!  

This is a question I asked of another liberal troll earlier this week by the name of "tooljob".  His first response was "same grade as you,chief!"; but when asked again, he fled.

I know you understand economics, as do most conservatives even if they've never taken a course in it.  After all, neoclassical economics is, at heart, only an understanding of basic human desires & reactions.

I thought I explained on another post that there are, generally, ZERO liberals who understand the basics of economics.  In most, if not all, cases college educated liberals never bothered to take an economics class.  

My point is this: There are NO liberals who have taken (and understoood) a basic college economics course.

This is an infallible means of identifying a liberal.  They have a college degree (in political science, or sociology, or something), but they never took an economics course.

Generally, a basic understanding of economics is like an inocculation against liberalism.

I ask the question of those I suspect of being Leftists, in order to confirm that they're unreachable by logic or reason.  And, to confirm that they are liberal trolls.

Also,
1. All Liberals have attended college
     a. by avoiding economics, they avoid any reasonable understanding of how & why individuals make decisions
     b. most liberals subject themselves only to those courses whose conclusions rely upon a misunderstanding of economic theory.
     c. most courses in college are designed to indoctrinate the students in liberalism -- economics does not generally do this, and usually offsets liberal indocrination with logic and reason.
2. Not all conservatives have attended college
     a. by avoiding university indoctrination, these folks maintain logic & reason
     b.  those who enter the "real world: rather than the white towers of academia, gain an inherent understanding of basic economic theory
3. Attendees of college who take (& understand) economics, become conservatives - not liberals.

those are MINOR SLIP UPS. If yo use COMMON SENSE(WHINY LIBS DONT HAVE IT) you can discern the meaning.
