Kinder, gentler Bush seen as '06 style
Seeks to boost GOP with compassionate conservative return

By Nina J. Easton, Boston Globe | January 9, 2006

8. I agree--all that has to happen is for one reporter to ask a probing
question or openly criticize our little "emperor" and his bitchy, thin-skinned personality comes blasting out for all to see and hear.

2. So he's going back to the Joe Sixpack routine is he? Anybody who
swallows that bad act after seeing the true weasel bastard that he is over the past few years is certifiable.

5. The republicans have no compassion and are no longer conservative
Compassion doesn't bomb the hell out of a sovereign nation
Conservatives don't create record deficits.
