"If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?" Reagan was the first President to use a teleprompter. Bushie had to be treated like a drunk toddler by a staff afraid he would screw up names and places.He embarrassed himself and the U.S. repeatedly no matter how hard they tried. When words get in the way, Bush goes phonetic Wed Sep 26, 2007 NEW YORK (Reuters)- How do you keep a leader as verbally gaffe-prone as U.S. President George W. Bush from making even more slips of the tongue? When Bush addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, the White House inadvertently showed exactly how -- with a phonetic pronunciation guide on the teleprompter to get him past troublesome names of countries and world leaders. The White House was left scrambling to explain after a marked-up draft of Bush's speech popped up briefly on the U.N. Web site as he delivered his remarks, giving a rare glimpse of the special guidance he gets for major addresses. It included phonetic spellings for French President Nicolas Sarkozy (sar-KO-zee), a friend, and Zimbabwe leader Robert Mugabe (moo-GAH-bee), a target of U.S. human rights criticism. Pronunciations were also provided for Kyrgyzstan (KEYR-geez-stan), Mauritania (moor-EH-tain-ee-a) and the Zimbabwe capital Harare (hah-RAR-ray). White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said the draft, labelled the 20th version and complete with typos and speechwriters' cellphone numbers, had been turned over in advance to help U.N. interpreters who must simultaneously translate leaders' speeches into several languages. Bush's text also had to be loaded onto a teleprompter to appear on screens in front of the podium as he spoke. "There was an error made," Perino told reporters. "I don't know how the draft of the speech that was not final was posted but it was and it was taken back." http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKN2540350420...

Only 20% of people call themselves Republicans which means you won't win a national election for a generation. Dubya/Cheney destroyed your party for the next 30 years. The Republican Party is merely a regional party now. You're screwed. Fox has taken over your party, it's a party of looney fringe whackos. One thing the Democrats believe.....hmmmm. How about redistribution of wealth. You know, "Spread the wealth around" Democrats believe Gov't is the solution. Conservative believe gov't is the problem. Conservatives believe you should be able to keep the fruits of your own labor. Liberals only make up 20%. Conservatives 40% Republicans, dosen't matter with your great big 20%.

Socialist! "Govt. Is the Probelm"? Now we're quoting Ronald Reagan. He was too dumb to know that HE WAS the goverment! All he did was screw up things more and sell out the middle class.Where do you think that we would be without the government? Think about it. Conservatives hate taxes, but they seem to be the first ones to whine if their street isn't plowed or their garbage isn't picked up on time. The only purpose of conservatism is to keep liberals in check and to preserve what the liberals have already accomplished. It's their ONLY purpose. Conservatives don't DO anything!! Everything is status quo becasue they are too afraid to change anything. They are self centered Greedy Old Pricks (GOP).

You're another person who thinks the Dems can do no wrong. Remember that when your family suffers from hyper inflation, you lose your house, or your job becomes obsolete. The GOP is not coming to an end. But I see the Dems in their death throes though. The dumbocrats will survive, unfortunately, as long as people have their hands out to the government.

Well barely 20% vote republcian today because they are such conservative christo/fascists,not to be mistaken with actual loving mainstream christians. If conservatives were really about less government they would let women have abortions,let scientists do their work and come to their conclusions,let gays have rights ... But the conservative republican party today is half Taliban and half redneck fascist. The only freedom rednech trash like you want is unlimited gun worship and neglectling the needy which is neither christian or moral and trust me I pay more in taxes in one year then you will make in a life-time.

How is it that you are so successful in a country that is so racist and anti-gay? I figured all those christo facists the country is full of would have blocked any opportunity you would have pursued. Could it be that the country is actually far more tolerant then you portray it to be? With the exception of yourself, and a number of other topix posters who posture themselves as liberal, left wing intellects, I find it amusing that the self proclaimed "smartest people in the room" live such an anger filled life when it comes to disagreement of opinion. Win the argument with facts and class, rather then ad hominem and ignorance.

Liberals claim to be tolerant of new opinions, ideas and different people, but when it comes down to politics, the only ideas they like are their own. Damn what anyone else says, and they won't even try to work with others. This explains why the Dems locked the Republicans out of the office when writing the healthcare bill.

YOUR version of capitalism is all about the 'ME' generation. Maybe you could start your own television show called 'Me, Me, ME, Me-It's all about me." UNMITIGATED GREED? You would see that it's all about YOU, if YOU had a JOB, JOB, JOB!!!!!! We come from the working generation! We work for what we have. YOU obviously come from the "Gimme" generation. Nobody owes you anything. If I'm a "Wingnut", because I want to hang on to what I worked for and not be forced to give it away, to a bunch of worthless bums, then so be it. Is that greed?
