If we privatize social security, will Bush finally shut the **** up?
I think his whole strategy is to keep talking, and keep talking, and keep talking, because he loves to go 'round the country and talk. Boy does he love to talk! And the news likes to play quotes of him saying how he likes to talk and talk and talk about how SS is in trouble and we should privatize even though that won't do a damn thing to solve the problem and will put is in even more debt blah blah... and every time I hear him talk I want to smash my radio with a friggin' hammer. So if he gets his stupid SS privatization will he finally shut the hell up, or will he just find some other damn issue to talk about and drive me insane?

5. No, then they will move to eliminate the minimum wage.
Or lower the working age to 9.

9. No

audiences. Seriously they will never be happy, not if they had every penny in the land and we were all slaves.

12. No, that would only give him ammunition for his next ludicrous idea.
That would make him think that his "mandate" has been infused with even more "political capital", so he'll then try something even more ridiculously stupid than privatizing SS.

16. Do you mean the president?
It's not clear from your post. It seems like you are hinting at something here, but kind of being coy, perhaps beating around the bush. Could you please explain yourself, while keeping in mind the dignity of the office, the flag itself, and Ashley Smith? Could you do that for your country?

18. Thanks more like it.
Killbotfactory (if that's his REAL name) obviously advocates flag-burning. And while it's a free country, we need to be a little more careful about this "free speech" business. Naked hippies were always dancing in the streets freely, and look where it got them.

A few months of "vacation" in Cuba, and we'll see if he insists upon speaking ill of our Great Leader.

23. Exactly
refuse to give in to ANY of it! I heard a DUer say recently that we should just let them drill in ANWR so they'll shut up about it. Sorry, but if you give in on ANY issue, they'll just shove six more down our throats.
NO surrender, NO retreat.

24. You have to get smart about how you fight and how you invest emotionally.
Did you know that you can wake up & fight every day... and not put your heart out there... you can save your heart and still be a warrior.

That is how you win a war. You dig deep and get more discerning about wearing your heart on your sleeve.

WE CAN DO IT!

22. He'll find another issue to drive us insane with.
He might start focusing more on war if he finally gets his privatization of SS.
