Bush: "Amend means weaken"
"They're trying to amend the bill," Bush said Wednesday of the Democratic efforts (to amend the class action lawsuit bill). "That's code word for they're trying to weaken the bill. They're trying to make the bill not effective."

4. So, in other words, he's trying to weaken the Constitution?
with his damnable "Federal Marriage Amendment"?

See if the MSM mentions this the next time he gets up on his soapbox (careful now, Georgie, don't fall!) about the FMA. I'm not holding my breath...

10. I wouldn't use that one. I *would* say:
So you think the Bill of Rights, ending slavery, and granting voting rights to women *weakened* the Constitution?

12. Why not use both?
The point is that Bush** himself is pushing to further weaken the Constitution with the FMA, while he has not (yet) proposed to bring back slavery or take the vote from women (has he?).

Yep. Now the question is:

9. Reform= Destroy......Update= Destroy......Repair= Destroy
Amazing how the repubes never attack THEIR codespeak :)

Clean Skies= Fatcats trading "pollution credits" with each other, and if you happen to live in a "trade area" we are breathing CRAP..

No Child Left Behind= Districts hiring extra teachers during the "reporting period", grabbing the payola bucks, and then firing the teachers after they get their money...also using some of that "bribe-ola" money to purchase "approved" testing materials from the likes of Bill Bennet & Neil Bush's testing software companies...

Healthy forests= cut down on forest fires by ciutting down all the trees...

etc etc etc etc
