OK, again trying to be a bit of a centrist. Since when does the U.S. participate and rely on the global community? Forever pretty much, right? And, how does ZZzzz extreme, and I assume, tongue in cheek remark about war crimes, although possibly relevant, make any statement about our Country's...

To be fair, in my opinion anyway, Clinton was not convicted of any of those allegations about white water, rose, and all the rest. There were millions spent to try to convict. Vince Foster? Nothing there either. Did the Clintons do some wrong things? Probably. But invoking the old where there's...

The disaster that is the Bush administration is probably reason enough for further investigations and possible impeachment. However, at this late time is it really worth the distraction? Both sides would use it to take attention off of the issues. The left would be going rah rah we need change...

Oh man, see this is the kind of stuff that bothers me. Following talk show hosts and administration hype instead of simply thinking about it. We shouldn't follow what we're spoon fed by either side. No civil war, come on, it's been going on for centuries except for short pauses like when Saddam...

Come on now, we all know that alqueda was not in Iraq when Saddam was there and that they may be there now after the invasion. Alquaeda and the war in Iraq have nothing to do with each other. Is there terror in the world? Of course, and we've dealt with forever. Thinking that 9/11 was the first...

Idiotic is right, what a nightmare this has been from day one. With all the saber rattling and finger pointing to Iran now, I worry that we'll just send the troops there, or use all of Iraq as a base. We can't stop the civil war, and we've been told that by so many military leaders on the ground...

I agree about the re-elected argument, and I guess we have those on both sides that can point a finger and say how in the heck did that person get reelected? The media and the republicans chased after Clinton for nearly 8 years, from White Water through the impeachment hearings. And it was...

I'm not sure if the amount of money involved is a fair argument for innocence or guilt. Why did no one continue the prosecution of Jefferson? Cunningham pretty much got caught with hand in cookie jar, and fessed up to it all. With all the transparencey from the internet and all, one would...

Again, it's a pretty broad statement about what Obama is waiting to do. Hell, I don't even think he knows what he's planning to do. A sensible tax re-adjustment would make some sense, and we do have to pay the bills somehow. I am in most affected tax bracket, and I would love to pay less...

Come on, AAA, that's a bit of a broad statement dont you think? As an independent, I have a lot of social liberal views. However, I believe in work-fare and not welfare. I believe those who cannot afford more children, should not have more children. Not in some Draconian way, simply cut off any...

We have privatized things like school/university cafeterias (much better), and even on military bases, working much more efficiently. The problem with getting rid of the Gov't employees is that we would have a 50+% unemployment rate. Now, getting rid of the entire TSA wouldn't bother me a bit...

Good post, Yannis. Much better than many on ET with all the hate and name calling. As you probably noticed, I'm against all wars as well. We can certainly agree to disagree about Iraq, why not, the whole Country is in disagreement it seems, as are the members of the Administration. A couple...

Why is always left or right, looney left, or neocons? JFK acted pretty strongly to a soviet threat, and now that's considered wrong by the right? Sure, it went to hell afterwards, but nothing like the total disaster that was and is the iraq invasion. Win a battle and lose a gigantic war, no...

Nice retort, nonsensical and childish. Last I checked the U.S. government consisted of people, citizens, not some barbaric ruling dictatorship who would treat their people like shit. Name calling and labeling is such a great adult pursuit. Heil, my friend. c

You worry about guns being confiscated, yet you support an administration that illegally spies and wiretaps it's citizens? I have respected you as a thinker as opposed to left or right on command. You have had some good ideas, but you seem to be getting a bit more polarized, that's too bad. c

TSA is nothing more than a way to bump up the gov'ts employement statistics by hiring those who would otherwise be unemployable. At least the TVA work projects produced some results instead of simply letting the terrorists win by laughing at how they crippled the US. Every test that has been...

Thanks to the thread starter, the boys at the bank had a good laugh. Obviously a joke. c

Ah, the Al Gore famous lock box. A bit ironic I would say. c

The plan to put a valuation on all government land holdings has been around a long time. Some of the superspending politico's have even said that the US would not have a deficit if we counted all this at market value. Only problem is with selling of resources, is who do we sell them to? I'm not...

I'm not saying the only way, but a much easier victory I think. It probably woud have been better to have Obama as VP, but too much friction at this point. The global stage would be much better with the Clintons, even with all their baggage, helping with foreign relations. I have a feeling...
