Sixer,

I wouldn’t want to use “..can’t catch Bin Laden” as my lead argument for impeachment. However, “hasn’t TRIED to catch Bin Laden” has a certain ring to it. We have to ask ourselves why? Perhaps because if they DID catch Bin Laden, the “War On Terror!!” would be over.

I haven’t followed too closely that whole Bin Laden Family/Bush Family thingie, but if half of what I’ve seen posted is true then there’s enough scent to let loose the hounds.

Perhaps the main question we should be asking in our search for a Dem Prez Candidate is which person WOULD let loose the most hounds. The only one I have any confidence on that score is Kuzinich(?) or whatever his name is. I wish Dean was running.

REALITY- ALERT-WATCH-”RED DAWN”

Speaking of bullet in the Impeachment Revolver: Do we need anymore reason that the new bin laden video tape as a reminder of the ineptitude of this administration. I know a lot of people say we can’t prove Bush’s lies, but what about his failure to get the world’s most wanted man??

jeez dont take posts so seriously, it was mostly tounge in cheek…

in any case, no pork did not disappear during bush, but what irks me is that the dems pushed through this legislation that puts pork designation in the partisan of the speaker, of whichever party in power…with Reid saying it was a ludicrous idea that a politician would EVER lie or do something illegal

again, if you read the post i didnt so much as counter the things jed said, but tried to add to them, jolly good, eh?

and military spending isnt called pork because, per capita, it probably employs more people and creates more money than any other “pork” project

Jesus Sixer, I wish you hadn’t quoted that number. “Made My Day.” Not!!

One other BIG point I keep forgetting. Why isn’t military spending called Pork?

BUT, Dennis, you WERE right on track about a couple of things. Mainly:
The US debt is now 9 trillion, and over 70% of that was created under Reagan/Bush/Bush combined. Those three were also only able to balance 2 out of 19 budgets. So, again, how is it the Dems were labeled as the spenders?
And, there’s a sense that the pork spending under Bush didn’t exist, or something. Are you kidding? Check the pork numbers before November 2006.

Wow, that was some misquote. Sorry, I’m sure you know what you ACTUALLY said, but since I screwed it up, let me unscrew it, sortta. I believe you were saying they couldn’t keep their hands off your money.

Boy do I feel stupid!!

Merk,

Sorry to be focusing on you, but I have to take exception to your comments. Dems “can’t keep their money off your hands.” Six years of GOP control of BOTH congress and the White House and are you better off? Three TRILLION to be spent on Iraq. That’s sounds like a LOT of hands on the money. Both parties ‘spend,’ but the GOP just doesn’t like to pay for it, that’s the difference. Just HOW big is the trade deficit and national debt now? And WHO is going to pay it? Please do NOT single out the Dems. Lord knows, they have their faults, but at least they pay as they go.

I won’t cant on socialized medicine: I’m for it, you’re not. ‘Nuff said.

But I CAN cant on your characterization that Pork is a Dem exclusive. It shouldn’t be my job to disprove any irrationality you might spout, but I will do so on the condition that you NEVER denigrate the Left again. Okay?

I hate to be the one to tell you, but there is NO ‘workable’ plan for Iraq. When you’re up to your ass in alligators, the only ‘workable’ plan is to get the HELL out of the swamp. How, when, where, why are all incidentals.

Finally, since WHEN did a majority in Congress mean anything? Are you SO uninformed about the legislative process? It would take a pure party line vote, a rarity, to pass any legislation. BUT, a majority is NOT enough to override a veto. So, YOU would have Congress spend it’s time dithering over bills that have no possible chance of seeing the light of day. What the ‘majority’ HAS been working on is in building a consensus on those matters that either they CAN override or which Bushney isn’t ideologically opposed.

Your love affair with the Libertarian view is admirable. But you do yourself and your cause a disservice when you make spurious claims or worse, mouth the BS coming from the Right.

well jed, in the spirit of bi-partisanship (and in no way intended to bash your post)
how about them dumbocrats–

cant keep their hands off your money, cant stop from sliding the country into socialized DMV medicine, cant curb pork, cant find the balls to enact any of their rhetoric toward the prez, cant come up with a workable plan for iraq (other than Joe Biden), cant really get anything done, though they have the majority to do so

im telling ya people, the time is now to vote libertarian…

republicant: can’t balance the budget; can’t provide affordable healthcare; can’t provide an understandable senior medicines plan; can’t micromanage a war; can’t see the log in it’s own eye; can’t abide by it’s own agenda of family values; can’t lead a country effectively!!! CAN’T ABIDE BY IT’S OWN BENCHMARKS!!

“A bar was set so high, that it was almost not to be able to be met…” I think the Republican motto is now,”It’s too hard.”

I THINK WE NEED TO SET UP IRAQ AS BEST WE CAN, THEN LEAVE THEM ALONE,, IF WE HAVE TO COME BACK,, KILL ALL OF THEM,, JUST BECAUSE IT’S THE 3rd TIME WE’VE HAD TO COME THERE..
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE OIL??
COME ON, ANYONE THINK AMERICA IS GOING TO AGREE TO PAYING $8.00 A GALLON FOR OIL,, I WOULD THINK NOT.. BEFORE WE PAY OVER $5.00 A GALLON FOR GAS,, allah IS GOING TO LOOSE A LOT OF HIS FOLLOWERS, AND CHAVEZ,, HE’S JUST ACTING FUNNY, HE THINKS HE’S SOMETHING BIG?? HE NEEDS TO ASK SADDAM HOW BAD SOMEONE CAN GET,,, CHITTING THEIR PANTS WHEN THAT ROPE GET’S TIGHT..

Everything that comes out of this White House is a boldface lie, or doctored-up to the point that you would never recognize the original.

What makes THIS any different?

Hmmm. Benchmarks. Now, the benchmarks have been set too high? Says who? The White House? Imagine that. EVERYTHING is set too high for this President. Remember, he’s about 5 foot nothing?
Anyway, nice to see the they’re ’staying the course’. Although, after further review, isn’t it strange that Bushmills and Dr. Evil Cheney are so hellbent on this ‘war on terror’?? I mean, these are the same two people who deferred on ANY combat duty. These two will do anything to keep this occupation going.
And, I ask you: For what? What is the end result that is going to be so ‘beneficial’ to US interests? What is going to be so ‘detrimental’ if we halt this occupation? I’m sick and tired of the catch-phrase rhetoric about leaving. We left Vietnam and communism didn’t come over here. We left Somalia and civil unrest didn’t come over here. We left Afghanistan and the Taliban haven’t come over here.
I long for the day these two ‘mongers’ pay for this. In fact, I PRAY they pay for this.
I guess, to some hawks, that makes me unpatriotic doesn’t it?
You know what? Oh well. Deal with it.

BENCHMARKS!!??!! Wha …. Are you …

BENCHMARKS!!??!!

We don’t need no stinking benchmarks.
