Um, well, let's see. The biggest accusation made is that the Bush administration "ignored" the threat of Al Qaida prior to 9/11. In reality, the administration, though potentially warned of the threat, was never given any actionable plan by the departing administration when he it took office...

Shows two things about Kerry: (1) That he truly is a flip-flopper, and (2) That he loves to talk big when he knows that under Clinton nothing's gonna come of it.

I think all Bush needs to do is reiterate one message -- Kerry is the most liberal senator from Massachusetts. As silly as it sounds, I guarantee you that tag will stick to Kerry and turn most voters off come November.

You gotta love it when someone quotes a columnist from the liberal rag The Nation, fails to cite it, and tries to pass it off as an objective assessment of the Bush administration.

Does any one have or know where I can get historical advance/decline data on the cheap? Nasdaq specific would be preferred, though I'd be happy with an overall numbers. I just need a one time data dump, too, since I'll be tracking it going forward. Thanks for your help!

I'd like to ask everyone to just ignore him. He's obviously a young kid and a foolish one at that. He likes to throw out unsubstantiated claims and he likes to steer the threads down moronic paths (this thread is a good example). Let's do everyone a favor and ignore him, pat him on the...

[/b]I have no doubt that a democrat would be focused on stamping out terrorism, though I honestly believe that their methods would be a lot less aggressive, much more reliant on diplomacy, and overall less resolute if faced with waning popularity. This may be the approach that you favor, but my...

[/b]You think way too highly of Nader and Kerry. I can tell you exactly what would've happened: Kerry/Nader would lobby hard for a resolution in the UN to denounce the Taliban and threaten "dire consequences" if they didn't hand over Bin Laden. The Taliban would thumb their colective noses at...

At least he didn't give the pat Howard Dean response of "sit down and shut up! it's my turn to talk!"

I heard all the same chorus when Reagan decided to take the Soviets head-on, and Thatcher was the only European leader openly supporting him. Tell me dddooo, which democratically elected leader in the history of the world won because he had the support of foreigners (besides Clinton, who...

You're argument is like saying that the best way to be successful in life is by not going to college and then using Bill Gates as the "best example" to illustrate your point, "thereby showing the fallacy" of the pro-education argument. I think that you're implying here that the USSR decided to...

Strong words from a peace lover. Funny thing is, most (not all) military personnel agree with an aggressive approach. Even though we're fortunate enough to have people who volunteer to do the dirty work to maintain your freedom and keep you safe, you prefer to bitch and moan about it. I...

Funny stuff :)

I didn't realize that this hypothetical presidential ticket thread was goin to morph into Tax 101. :D

Um, yeah, right. The only example you can bring up is in the case where a direct violent encounter would have resulted in nuclear annihilation of the planet. Um, okay, I'll give you that one. I think both sides understood the concept of mutually assured destruction enough to realize that...

Sure it has. Look at Britain with the IRA and Spain with ETA. Both goverments clamped down aggressively on violent acts while at the same time giving more political voice to the more moderate populaces. What happened? The carrot/stick approach mitigated the general populaces and aliented the...

Bonehead comment. Social Security is in impending problem with or without tax cuts; an issue specific to changing demographics and lengthening life expectancies. Weren't the same predictions being made about SS even when we were predicting a $5 trillion surplus? I here so many baseless...

I've asked this question before -- When has appeasement ever been successful at ending conflict? Every conflict in history has required some violent resolution with a clear victor. Despite two world wars, Europeans fail to acknowledge this truth and maintain optimism that appeasement and...

This guy is such a joke. Every single claim that Bush made was backed by the US Intelligence Estimate document, as well as every single intelligence agency in the world, as well as the UN, which unanimously voted for a resolution that was premised on the assumption that Iraq possessed...

It's no surprise that whenever things go wrong in California, they vote in a Republican governor.
