I admit, tho, I’ve seen him make a couple of coherent arguments elsewhere–I’ve hope for him and is why I’m stopping short of thinking of him as a troll.

HA. He’s the one who thought it was a problem enough to keep writing about it with such great spin (warped thinking) and continue writing about it as if it were some “fault”. He’ll continue to write about it as a fault/problem and continue to probaly state “But I don’t fault him”. This’ll continue….

You can never pin Actus down to anything. He’s like Jello.

Having an advisor is different than reorganizing hundreds of thousands of federal civil servants.

Once he found it poltically palatable to do so. And once he found it having some civil service and other labor reforms too.

Bush urged and urged Congress to get the DHS bill passed. Democrats threatened filibuster for several reasons. Republicans didn’t have enough votes so they had to federalize the employees because otherwise the bill wouldn’t pass..

So you can make incorrect accusations all day long but it only bites liberals right back in the butt because it exposes WHY the bill took longer to come out and WHY the bill was much more expensive and WHY the unions are in bed with Democrats….

Wanna keep playing this subjective game of who politicized the DHS bill? Do you remember the attacks that Democrats were making on the president and Republicans concerning the employees of DHS?

Problem is he did more than change his mind: he turned it into an issue of partisan division.

It was more than just hearing the proposal. I mean, it was laid out and briefed. But I don’t fault bush for changing his mind.

That darned Bush… He should’ve been the 1%…. Let me be negative about him toooo.

Sis, I’m addicted to the icons…

I do. I say it happens to 100% of people…. to at one time in their life hear a proposed solution and not be initially for it.

I have no idea.

However, you’ve influenced my opinion of Bush .00000000000% concerning the fact that he didn’t support at first (again doesn’t everybody not fully support something in their life when it is first proposed at one time or another).

It was a waste of words. Only showed your negativity.

I am explicitly saying he opposed it. No implications here: its explicit. He was against, and then he was for. There’s lots of ways to be against and for things. Voting is only one of them.

“1 question. Do you fully support DHS and it’s policies and the way it’s currently implemented? What would be 2 big reasons why or why not?”

I think it needs a serious chief privacy officer with the ability to conduct investigations of other DHS components. I also think its privacy board should not have supporters of Total Information Awareness, or CEO’s of spyware companies on it.

As for whether its better to have 1 big agency or several small ones, I don’t know.
