So there is a bush with a brain

Laura Bush Opens Up About Disagreements with Husband on Gay Marriage, Abortion - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
QuoteQuote:
"I think there are a lot of people who have trouble coming to terms with that because they see marriage as traditionally between a man and a woman," she said. "But I also know that, you know, when couples are committed to each other and love each other, that they ought to have I think the same sort of rights that everyone has."

Don't say that as if she's the exception to the rule. I firmly believe most Bushes in the world have a decent amount of gray matter. Most.

I have no use for her.....I think she is as phony as a seven dollar bill, but that is just my personal opinion, one shared by more than a few here in Texas. These "people" have an entirely different set of standards and views of morality than any "average"people they would like for you to believe they are like.
For example, in her book, she laments that she didn't go to the funeral of the boy she killed in the "accident", and didn't offer her sympathy or apology to his parents. The problem was, according to her, she was young and petrified by the experience........apparently she still is....all these years and still not a word to his family. That's the Laura we know in Texas......like her "Kindly Old Granny" mother-in-law, Barbara, that was so pleased to think all those poor people in New Orleans were now so much better off since they lost their little shanty homes.........If these are "good people" you can have my share of them, for damn sure.
Best Regards!

Yes, Rupert, she must be utterly discredited on the occasion of suggesting people like me and my dear one should have equal rights.

Not that Dubya is a native Texan, however much he plays cowboy, Connecticut rich boy he is... but I do believe Laura actually is.

If that's your standard.

She'd slice you and dice you in a New York minute Ratlady.......you have no idea who she really is. Everything she does is an attempt to bring some salvation back to her sick and perverted husband...and nothing she can ever do will manage that. There are good people in this world...she is not one of them, but she talks a good line. You bought it.....

Truer words have never been spoken.
A public mea culpa with not a word in private to those who suffered the loss = phony. The public knows about the incident, so she has to mention it and say "what is expected." But there's no remorse in reality.

She hitched her wagon to a moneyed name and rode it for all it was worth. But she never exercised her right to speak out in public, like for instance Eleanor Roosevelt did, in order to help those suffering discrimination or oppression or poverty. So, now she says she disagreed with her husband - so what? He still instituted policies violently opposed to his wife's supposed opinion and she had nothing to say.

The perfect backdrop for the dope that brought the American economy to its knees.(and starting with great budget surpluses too!) She was a stage prop. She was an enabler. And now, she is participating in the campaign to rehabilitate her husband's reputation.

The whole thing is very sad. An entire decade lost....

Talking about Barney, Chris, and Obama I see.

Remember, the surplus was during a Conservative majority in congress. As soon as the tide changed the surplus went.

Bought it? Hardly. As Yucatan says, she certainly showed no such convictions when she was 'in office.' ...I was talking about you. Claiming that cause she said something about equal rights for me, that it's an occasion to attack her statement with ad hominems and claim 'she has no morality, unlike 'real' Texans.'

I want my decade back, too. More than you could probably imagine.

Funny how so many in Texas, like us, know the real Laura Bush, and so few outside of Texas see her for what we know her to be. She is manipulator and a pervert of truth and sincerity.

Republicans held a majority in Congress through 2006.
The budget deficits started in 2002.

History is a pesky thing. But facts are facts.

Yep, also, let's not forget, that Bush spent trillions 'off-budget' and basically post-dated the check of the Wall Street bailout.

Guess you don't know the difference between a republican and a fiscal Conservative. 2002 saw a turnoverr to RINO's.

Might also note that the graph goes ballistic with a socialist congress and presidency.

Well, that's not what I said or meant, but believe me Laura Bush has no more use for you than I do, the difference is that I will and do tell you right up front. Laura works behind your back, but because she shows you those Pretty Colors, you lap it up. I don't work behind your back, and I damn sure don't have any Pretty Colors......although I can Color Pretty!

Congress members and Senators elected in November 2002 took office in January 2003, during which year they voted on the 2004 budget. The RINO timeline excuse still doesn't work. The deficits were voted in by the LOL "conservatives" who gave Bush everything he wanted, including 'off the books' wars in two countries. Throughout the Bush presidency, the full cost of the wars were never included in the budget. I guess that was "creative conservatism." Faking the books, after all, was the Enron way. (Enron donated their corporate jet to the 2000 Bush campaign, by the way.)

The last year of the Bush presidency -- the Bush who demanded and got his TARP and other bailouts -- is what you see going ballistic on the graph. Obama's short time in office is above the line.

Interesting how every president following World War II managed to decrease the debt, except for who...?

Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. (the usual suspects)

Sorta tells you something, huh?
