I am proud to have President Bush a citizen of Texas. Like him or not, he is a man of conviction and determination. He warned the American People that the war would be long and difficult. I am glad we have a President that stays the course and doesn’t sway with polls or act like a monday morning quarterbacks. Complain as much as you like, but we are safer today!

Patrick,

You forgot to mention that the Crawford “ranch” is only GWB’s *SECOND* (winter) home … anyone got some energy stats for his primary residence?

Comparing a 4,000 ft vacation home, which is not a full time residence to a 10,000 ft mansion that IS a full time residence (likely for an extended family as well) is like comparing the annual fuel consumption of a Honda Civic that is hardly used to a Chevy Tahoe that is used to cart kids around all the time.

Its just stupid.

Well, well, - the Dem’s claimed many a thing “put us in power to lower gas prices”. Here they are in power and gas prices are now the highest in history. I guess they lied again and the fools that followed remain as blind as the rear end of a pig. Just look at Patrick’s postings above. A typical Dem. Full of hatred and self absorbing ignorance. I tell myself that someday will come and they will realize that the need to think for themselves is greater than the need of self entitlements. Then again my wife tells me that once your as slave to another mans ignorance - your always a slave. God Bless them and guide them.

Finding what it cost to build this energy efficent house with the 300 foot wells and what ever else whould be interesting. I suspect the design and building the compound probably cost more then most Americans earn in their lifetime. Any data on the costs out there ? or perhaps is this data stored in the same place the DWI ticket that was lost ?

The GW ranch is thy type of home Al Gore preaches about. It uses about 25% of the electricity normally used by a dwelling of this size due to the energy efficient systems such as water cooling the home by pumping the water deep below the ground and then circulating it through the house. I guess some people talk about what others should do, like Al Gore, and then there are others who quietly walk the walk, and live and let live. Let the jealous and self righteous heap scorn upon the humble man from Texas; I find the man to be a true leader with never an ugly thing to say about anyone, including those who despise them. This man seems to lack the ego of all his ememies.

Yall are a bunch of idiots. Why don’t you spend more time trying to fit people into your TV-made stereotypes and defining things you obviously don’t know anything about. Just because it was once a pig farm doesn’t mean it will ALWAYS be a pig farm. To have an ag exemption you have to have livestock, and meet certain other criteria. Ranchers don’t really ride horses everywhere, they drive their “ranch trucks”, which sometimes are nicer than their personal vehicles, or they ride 4 wheelers, motorcycles, helecopters, or ultralites.

As far as clearing brush, it is often done by hand. You cannot clear a fenceline with a dozer without destroying the fence, and having to rebuild it. You cannot clear brush from under mesquite trees you want to keep, without possible destroying the tree with it. I’m sorry if your not competent enough to either know how to clear brush, or take care of it after it is cleared (shredding) but do not take your inadequecies out on someone else. I quarantee the reason he clears brush himself is to forget about people like you who criticize him because you are jealous of him. Jealous because some of us aren’t afraid to get out there and work with our hands every once in a while. Were not scared of getting cut, or snakes, bees, or other things. I’m sure he rides his bike out there because it is the ONLY place he can do it without having to worry about imbeciles like you trying to shoot him. Besides you don’t haul off brush you moron, you burn it.

As far as him being a texan is concerned, he resides in Texas….that makes him a Texan. People of the Lone Star State are not so preoccupied with trying to be something were not. If you wanna move to Texas, then come on. I don’t care if he was born in Djibouti, raised in Iran, and went to school on Bejing, he lives here now, hes one of us. We do not have anything in our constitution that says that you have to have been born here.

Maybe you can get a petition going that will reveal all the goings on at the Crawford Ranch, maybe he will give us a tour of the ranch and wildlife that you say doesn’t exist there. Maybe George Bush could be the first president EVER to not take any time off, and be able to relax in solitude every once in a while. After all its only 8 years, who needs a break from being leader of the free world for 8 years?

Get a life, and quit spouting pure lies just to try and make a point.

President George W. Bush is a fine person and displays noble instincts for governing. He is interested in substance rather than photo ops.
