(as pro wrestler Booker T would say)A quote from California Governor Gray Davis, when asked at a debate on his "vision for California", Davis, referring to the liberal catchphrase "diversity" stated: "...we have people from every planet on earth in this state..."  Realizing what an idiotic statement he just made (by the guffaws in the audience) he began to stammer like Porky Pig "abbada dabbada...." then some total gibberish trying to cover for his stupidity.  And liberals call BUSH a moron???

Can you imagine a Republican saying this?? Hell they crucified Dan Quayle for misspelling "potato". But you can certainly see why this clown is the subject of a recall. Haven't seen the papers for a few days but would bet the liberal media is not trumpeting this the way they would if a conservative said this...

Then there's the Green Party candidate (don't recall the name) when asked if he would support same sex marriages, went off on how gays and lesbians have been victims of discrimination and how we need to stop this because gays and lesbians "...are in every family..." HUH????  

Yep, "Colliefornya" as Arnold would call it, is certainly a piece of work. So all you Colliefornyans: what planet are you all from?
There are, after all, a lot of illegal "aliens"  in your state!

If Bush ever said that we had people from other planets here, he'd be hearing about it until his last breath. But remember, there is no Liberal Media bias. Bustamante gets to use the 'N' word a few years ago (at a gathering of blacks no less) and gets a pass - we got more coverage from black bodybuilders who claimed Arnold treated them poorly 25 years ago. And the fact that as a Single Male, pre-AIDS in the 70's Arnold enjoyed dipping his wick with chicks who were more than willing. If a Republican had used the 'N' word recently, he would have been forced out of the campaign.

The 'diversity is our greatest asset' statement is so stupid. I think Freedom is a little more important. The Founding Fathers used the 'bring us your tired, your poor, your hungry' as a Marketing Ploy. We just won the Revolution and now had this huge continent and no one to work it. If they'd lived forever, the Fathers would have eventually hung up the No Vacancy sign. The Democrats know that they can use their tax and spend ways to buy the votes of newcomers. And the Republicans are too spineless to stop the tide of illegals for fear of being called racist. EOR - end of rant.

...say stupid stuff, it doesn't mean George W Bush is not a moron.  Paint it how you will, it doesn't change that fundemental fact

eom

it doesn't change the fact that you misspelled "fundamental" either.  LOL.  YMH.

Perhaps Sweet pea did it intentionally to make a point?

Ya never know.

When George misspells words (and other embarrasing things he does) I just chalk it up as he's a Bush... what'dya expect?

Not to diminish her work, but Lazarus was in no way a founding father (or mother).  You are quoting from her poem, The New Colossus, which was written in 1883 -- 100+ years after the founding of the country.

-Hoot.

I heard about this new political message board. This is great. I see its for adults, does that mean I can call Al Franken a little skinny moron? Why do they let people talk about escorts and sex if this is a political board. Someone needs to tell them they are in the wrong place.  (I voted Democratic but dont tell anyone or my ratings will fall)

while many of his detracters never even went to college! - Namely the wild wild West Coast instigators.

Yo Sweet Pea, Your man Algore dropped out of law school and then flunked out of seminary.  Bush has an MBA.

eom

And the Texans only voted for him (for Pres.) because he nearly ruined the Texas economy the way he IS ruining the entire countries economy.

It is unfair to blame a president for the condition of the ecomomy. America is going down the shitter and this process began long before "Dubbya" took office. It wouldn't matter if Gore got in either, it would still be happening. Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, since he took over in 1987, has been the most inflationary chairman in history, creating an estimated $10 trillion out of thin air... a greater monetary expansion than all other Fed chairmen combined, and they will keep the printing presses rolling at the rate of $2 trillion per year. This isn't Bush's fault, and I hear no one calling Greenspan a "moron" or calling for his head.

There needs to be some type of competency test for voting. People who have no clue of the functions of government, its three branches and their limitations/powers, are voting for candidates based on popularity, appeal, attractiveness, or just because they are of a particular party. Arnold may well win if the recall goes through, simply because people know who he is.

Federal Govt. spending now accounts for over 40%of the GDP; up 25% since last year. Defense spending isup 44% (for obvious reasons) The economy is not recovering....take out defense spending and there is virtuallyno growth at all. More and more jobs are being lost, personal bankruptcies are at all time highs, industrial production is down, auto sales are down, airlines are most all near bankrupt, personal debt is at its highest while saving at its lowest, the housing market bubble will eventually burst, and states are broke, with "Colliefornya" $40 billion in the red.

Not a rosy picture for the future. No president can fix it, and certainly no liberal Democrat.

Are you guys kidding me?  Bush mis-speaks at almost every public engagement and the media gives him a pass.

This excuse of a liberal media is getting old.  Find a new arguement!

Ruining the ecomony?  I don't know about you, but my stock accounts are up 17% since January 2003!

It's my business, located in California that is in the dumper!

One more thing, Texans elected him Governor Twice, after suffering under one term of that blue haired bimbo Ann Richards!  Richards bio lists her currently as a "Consultant", which of course means unemployed!

The economic bubble started bursting in early 2000, 10 months before the election. It wasn't Clinton's fault - but he couldn't take credit for the previous good years either. Businessmen control the economy. Not presidents. Bush hasn't laid any workers off or been slow to rehire any of the millions of experienced professionals currently out of work.

Jaejae, maybe you haven't been reading the papers but Bush has cut taxes which normall stimulates the economy - other than that he's been rather busy tracking down the people who would like to crash planes into big buildings. Thank goodness he was in office and not some Democrat - they would have surrendered.

This whole "left wing media bias" thing is anacronistic.  With talk radio and Fox News bloating the airwaves with emotional appeals to an audience that is easy to rile up, playing to fear and anger (and very effectively, I might add), I keep wondering what a thoughtful person is to do.  

Case in point: Bill O'Reilly on his national talk radio show during domestic protests before George pulled the trigger on Iraq, said that he thought people who protested after the war begins should be charged with a felony as they would "prevent the police from keeping NY safe from terriorists."

Now, my conservative friends, I must tell you I deeply opposed the Iraq war because I think we must establish a global consensus on the basics.  Afganistan was the model, and we could have achieved this - oops, except Irag may really have already gotten rid of its WMD - with Iraq.  We're too interconnected in too many ways not to think globally, and we cannot unilatterally obliterate all the bad guys with terrifying weaponry.  

And then one of the most powerful influences in modern broadcast media believes in asserting my deeply held conviction that I am a felon.

Liberal media bias, my ass.

And you right wingers rarely use common sense.

My stocks tanked after 9/11 and haven't recouped yet. I never was good at picking.

My business is suffering also on the other coast, but I'm in the process of introducing new products.

By the way, I thought this was obvious to everyone but the it is the hate behind the "N" work that is offensive to Black people. I'm sure you know that Blacks used this among themselves.

This should not be hard to understand. Yank and Yankee are used by Americans with pride. However they would be offended by foreigner used it in the manner "Yankee go home".

Like everything is the contest that provides the meaning  and even a dog knows the difference between being tripped on and being kicked.

George used a legacy program to get into Yale U. This is a non-merit program and I just can't respect someone who used a program like that and then criticized other for the same thing. I don't think someone who used Cocaine (Or had several drunk drinking )and now has his finger on the button. Has American gone crazy?

actually wait ... i agree with you come to think of it ... we desperately need educated and well-informed voters who can think for themselves!

what was i thinking?

[monotone] now let us celebrate our vote with some beer and fried chicken embryos

Democrats want to regulate your wallet and free your mind, as long as your free mind is socialist.  Republicans want to regulate your mind and free your wallet, as long as your wallet contains nothing smaller than C-notes.  Libertarians want you to regulate your own mind and wallet.  After all, they do belong to you.  
Hillary>>>Communist>>>GLAD>>>Democrat>>>>>Republican>>>Ahnold>>>Christian Coalition>>>>>Libertarian>>Me>>>>>Anarchist

Same thing, just a different title and in my opinion Libertarians are the worst of the lot.) This is the Bush economy.
But the real reason unemployment is staying high has to do with all this free trade globaloney nonsense. It was ok with everyone when it was just the poor smuck working in the factory. A little different now that all those high tech jobs are being outsourced overseas.
