You said "I thought we were talking about "Republicans".. not the President.." That implies that the President is not a Republican. Your words not mine.

The thread says "Why do the Republicans" It does not say "Why does the President", meaning that to use something the President says, and blanket ALL Republicans as saying/feeling/meaning is just as stupid as if someone saying Democrats support racism, because Byrd was a member of the KKK.

I have failed to see most american who are Republicans, running around calling Democrats angry.. A handful of Republicans saying something does not = "ALL REPUBLICANS" no matter who that handful is.

The thread says "Why do the Republicans" - it does not say "Why do ALL Republicans". Bush is a Republican. Bush said it. Nobody but you is blanketing all Republicans with Bush's words.

Why do Republicans.. = Why do I... Sorry but I know how to read english, and take offense to people putting words into my mouth or dictating how I feel.

Again, why are Democrats Racists (Byrd)
Why do Democrats feel Obama is unqualified (Clinton)

Would be unfair statements to blanket the Democrats, so the question is, why is it ok to blanket all Republicans as x.. but not the Democrats, based upon the actions of few.

He doesn't show and he's "afraid". If he had shown, I have no doubt that you'd be saying that he was "ignoring" New Orleans/Gustav.

Now that you have gone off on a tangent, do you, if you are a republican, feel that the left is angry?

Like I said - you are the only one with the blanket.

Well, he pretty much did...up until it served his purpose by preventing him from showing his face in an ironically unwelcome forum.

But hell. At least he's not at Camp David this time.
