Someone needs to tell * that respect

[Skidmore]

is earned. I swear I heard a news person state this morning on CNN that * said he isn't speaking to the NAACP because that group hasn't shown him respect. Looks as though everyone is expected to kiss the sovereign's ring.

1. Respect must also be mutual.

How has he shown the NAACP respect? Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

2. I thought I was saying that.

3. Then we must agree!

I was trying to draw a distinction between mutual and "earned"respect but maybe there is none. I am tired .Time for bed!

4. I heard that. Maybe he is 'Mad' like King George was?

I can not believe Bush would say such a thing. Nine years olds act like that. Maybe along with being 'mad' his base does not like him to speak to people with different skin color. I think that must be like 'I will not talk to you because I do not like your eye color' Then you do see him talking to all white people who may vote for him.

5. Does anyone remember when Bush accused Gore of judging his heart?

Does anyone remember when Bush accused Gore of judging his heart? Something to the effect. It was during one of the 2000 debates in the presidential run-up between Bush and Gore. Bush's comment got Jim Lehrer the moderator to step-in, admonish Gore who had done nothing of the sort, and with the power of the moderator change the subject? BUSH KNEW DARN WELL WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE WAS MANIPULATING A SITUATION ... HE HAD NO ANSWER TO A STATEMENT THAT GORE HAD JUST NAILED HIM WITH. BUSH KNOWS HOW TO MANIPULATE. HE MIGHT AS WELL BE CALLED THE GREAT MANIPULATOR. As far as the NAACP is concerned he is just turning around his dislike for them and placing blame on them. The same thing he did with Al Gore in that debate. The same thing he has done over and over again. (DOES HE EVER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT HE DOES OR SAYS? IS HE EVER SORRY FOR ANYTHING HE HAS DONE WRONG? HAS HE EVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG?) ... Brother Jebbie does the same thing too. DO THESE BUSHES EVER, EVER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING? DO THEY EVER TAKE IT STANDING UP? ARE THEY EVEN CAPABLE OF ACTING LIKE MATURE ADULTS?x(
