    Hey wingers! How do you trash Edwards for his legal career and support Thompson?

    Not sure this is a cut and dry liberal vs conservative thing. Common sense dictates harsh sentences for violent crimes and shorter sentences for possession of marijuana, for example. But are they not disproportionate? Some may argue, but I think they might be. Is not this administration...

    Cheney:Iraq would be quagmire 1994

    Well, he seemed to have it right back then, not so sure these days. object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6BEsZMvrq-I"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6BEsZMvrq-I"...

    Report from the Mississippi bridge collapse

    I thought this was quite poignant, from today's Paul Harvey broadcast. I'm pretty sure that Mr. Harvey is certainly not a left/liberal, quite the contrary. (paraphrasing) $250 million needed desperately in Minnesota, but we can't afford it, we spend all the money in Iraq. $30 billion for...

    Bush declares war with Iran

    Well, I can see everyone is busy with the us and them name calling, rather than really getting into the meat of invading Iran. Does it really do any good to support an elephant or a donkey instead of Country and our troops? We have proven to the world that we are tired, as a Nation, as a...

    American hubris

    I think it kind of sucks that we Americans fight over who is responsible for this World opinion. I think that showing the world our lack of proper intelligence vs. a planned invasion, planned by a handful of DC power brokers. Listening to the Generals, yeah, maybe a hand picked one, certainly...

    Kar Rove Resigns

    I guess he thinks that this will be enough to keep the subpeonas from being served, probably a wise move on his part. Love him or hate him, I would never call the man stupid. Scary maybe, but not stupid. c

    Fed Acts to Stem Credit Turmoil

    I'm assuming "beltway" refers to D.C. - right? c

    American hubris

    Not worry about totally out of control defense waste and lost billions of cash and materials in someone else's civil war? I hope to hell someone cares enough about the America we love to have stomach pains about this incredible waste. To simply allow an unchecked regime to continue indefinitely...

    Fed Acts to Stem Credit Turmoil

    The illegal immigrants? How about every guy who wants to flip a house, every couple with dreams faking their incomes, this is hardly limited to our immigration concerns. It's a tough call between rate cuts and diluting the market by printing more money, what ever happened to free market...

    ChickenHawk Family

    Agree about Bush, of course. Still a bit of a stretch to say "turn Iraq over to AlQuaeda or Iran" - IMO, heck we're having a hard enough time turning Iraq over to Iraq. Sad joke. Iraq is such a quaqmire that there is no way of winning, no goal post in sight, bad beginnings, bad lengthy...

    It’s a Female Dog, or Worse. Or Endearing. And Illegal?

    I'm not sure the banning or censuring of words is a democrat thing just because some woman in New York doesn't like it. I'm not in favor of any type of censorship in this regard. I've noticed over the years that the people who tend to use extreme words are either doing it for effect or simply...

    What is a better US Gov investment for Future - Military Spending or Infrastructure

    "From 1780 to the early 1900's everybody else on planet earth was going our way, is a broken bridge and some human sacrifices that we really could be an example again?" .... From this morning's address from Paul Harvey. He talks about the days when the U.S. was a true leader, without...

    Analyst: Al-Qaeda Videotapes Digitally Doctored

    Is there a real big difference between CT's who believe the gov't is responsible for all these terrible things and believing that AlQuaeda is stronger than ever and we should be very afraid? It just seems to me that both are a bit extreme, and that the truth is very likely in the middle. c

    Amnesty - Here we go again

    95 % of Warrants in LOS ANGELES are for ILLEGAL ALIENS I may agree with your overall assessment, but I really question this number. If the primary crime is being here illegally, then sure, that might make sense. But if this number was supposed to refer to actual crimes being committed...

    Analyst: Al-Qaeda Videotapes Digitally Doctored

    I have to agree, switching from AlQuaeda tapes to the Virginia Tech nutcase murderer is quite a leap. This doctoring of tapes sounds plausible, not CT like government blowing up twin towers. The movie Wag the Dog comes to mind just a little bit. I do get a bit tired of everything...

    Report from the Mississippi bridge collapse

    Oh, I don't think so. They had 2 lanes closed for repair work, had massive number of cars, big boom when it first dropped, then connectors probably failed and pulled down other sections. But then again, who the heck knows. AAA's airplane and missile is still one of the weirdest things in...

    Iraq war price tag above $1 trillion -- Boston Globe

    Yeah, I just checked this from 2002. "According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted. $2.3 trillion — that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America. To understand how the Pentagon can lose track of trillions, consider the case of...

    Iraq war price tag above $1 trillion -- Boston Globe

    And, as of today, from the GAO, where the hell is the $20 billion given to the Iraqi's for infrastructure? Just a google source, not sure of the reliability. Heard the same thing from ABC news. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/8/1/110225.shtml?s=ic c

    Report from the Mississippi bridge collapse

    I can't really comment on the parody or race baiting, but what really bugs me is how everything bad that happens in the whole world causes such comments like "not sure if it's terrorist related" and other drivel. These terrorists that we've been made to be very, very, afraid of have been around...
