Fred Barnes: Bush is Unpopular Because He Has So Much Integrity
The right has an army of bloggers, think tanks and columnists working 24/7 to make sure that the light of reality never gets in the way of their party line. I can barely keep myself from puking on my keyboard.

You see, Bush let his guard down because he wanted to be a "non-partisan" leader in his second term, leading a "non-partisan" campaign to remake the federal courts, turn over social security to Wall Street cronies, and cut the guts out of most federal programs that help people. He wasn't going to lower himself by politicking or pandering to his narrow base...

Barnes is absolutely right. I don't recall Bush making a single political statement during the last eleven months Huh-uh, he's moved on with his life!

(Sorry I have to direct your attention to such dark, moldy internet places.)

2. Is that the punch line to a joke?
If not, it is surely the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard that was made with a straight face.:crazy: :silly:

3. Well, now that's a new approach.
I don't think I've ever heard Bush's problem to be "too much integrity". Well, if we're going to use that approach, then Barnes should claim that Bush should have "less integrity".

You see, the way things are going now, Bush is risking his entire party, his base, even the Repubs because of his "Integrity". I'm sure if you were to hold a gun to Barne's head, he would agree that right now, things are not going well for the Reptile Party.

What to do? Have less integrity!!! That will fix everything for sure.

11. All right wing folks have an uncanny ability to make up facts to fit their
bullshit points of view. A freeper is born with this ability. In a matter of seconds a freeper can manufacture any fact that is needed on the spot to make a point. Barnes is one of the great ones.

12. Fred Barnes is a prime time asswipe who wouldn't know integrity from
deceitfulness. He is one person that I can't ever remember being in agreement with on any issue.

14. These people... WTF?
Do they just sit in a room for hours thinking of absurd shit to say and write?

Some of their talking points are so illogical and ridiculous that they sound as though they were written on a dare...

"Fine, me next. I dare you to go out and write an article about how Bush is seen as a failure because he is so successful"
