RSSBush Talks Tough Despite Not Walking The Walk
J.J. Jackson* | March 16, 2008 |
The Republican Party has a problem. That problem is convincing conservative Americans that they are actually the best choice for them to support. You would think that after almost eight years that would be an easy task. But it’s not because of situations like this where President Bush gets caught talking the talk but not walking the walk:
President George W. Bush promised a gathering of religious broadcasters today in Nashville that he would veto any legislation reinstating the so-called “fairness doctrine” on the public’s airwaves.The move by some in Congress to reinstate the fairness doctrine - which requires both sides of controversial issues to be represented on the air - is a top point of concern for the National Religious Broadcasters, who gathered for their convention at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center.
Bush reassured the friendly crowd of about 1,250 that he would not let the fairness doctrine be reinstated while he was in the White House.
“If Congress should ever pass any legislation that stifles your right to express your views, I’m going to veto it,” Bush told the crowd, prompting a long, standing ovation.
YEAH! YEAH! Oh … wait. President Bush has a pretty bad track record on this issue considering that he did sign (and not veto) the biggest infringement of Free Speech in recent history. Remember? It was called McCain-Feingold.
Conservatives want to see you walk the walk. Talk is cheap. Which is why liberals do so much of it.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity. By posting a comment you agree to abide by the rules of this site.
