Sorry, Larry, that won't wash. (Sorry, Charlie, you're not Starkist.)

I merely pointed out that your quote was gobbledegook.   I made no assumptions about source, even though you assume and wish I had. I'm fully aware that Clinton was capable of claptrap, as is any politician.

Nice try, though.



My comment, since your short-term memory is even poorer than that of most Bushites, and your vision is evidently going fast, was "Have you ever heard of political gobbledegook? Congratulations, you have just quoted a sterling example."

Precisely where in that post do I say that Bush, or indeed any other specific individual said it?

I then started a new paragraph, signalled in this case by the word "again", meaning I was still trying to get a straight answer out of you on an earlier topic. Are you aware that might possibly be a new thought? Have you ever had any English courses?



You are a Bushite, right?--why don't you wear the title with pride? ( Jim Tailor is a thinking individual,-- (you're welcome, Jim)--- thus no Bushite.)

Anybody who does not want the label "Bushite" is welcome to shed it by criticizing Bush's half-baked ideas--- ( it's what in the military is called a "target -rich area")---as I criticize what I see as fuzzy thinking and conspiracy theories on the Left. (Ask Dianavan, Ake, or Little Hawk)

The Left has no monopoly on truth. But any similarity between facts and what Bush says is purely coincidental.

I certainly do appreciate that you were honest and direct enough to say "I would prefer to keep my own money"--you refuse to consider removing totally the salary cap on Social Security deductions.


Interesting that you are rejecting out of hand the one solution which all sides agree would eliminate the Social Security shortfall. And obviously it doesn't bother you that you are skating perilously close to the Bushite stereotype of heartless and selfish capititalist.

What happened to "compassionate conservative"?---oh, I get it--you're compasssionate as long as your wallet is not touched.

In future, please be so good as to refrain from pious protestations of how important it is to solve the Social Security crisis---since you have now rejected the one solution all sides agree will work.

On top of that, in typical Bushite fashion, you have also suggested something (personal accounts)‚ which all sides agree will not solve the problem.

Well done, good job.
