People are making the wrong arguments. Bush winning the election does not reflect on how good or bad Bush is. It reflects on how good or bad the voters are. IMHO, it reflects very poorly on this nation.

You're the one with the blinders on. Which way do you think will win the war for us: 1. Maximize the allies' support, use NATO as the main force (of course dominated by American troops), include token supports from moderate Arab nations; or; 2. Screw the world, we're doing this...

Japan has been in a 20 year depression. I wouldn't celebrate if we're just half as bad as Japan.

So the excuse for doing nothing is that it would not have prevented the attacks anyway. First of all, that is a questionable excuse. The lower parts of the government were actually doing their jobs. We had Moussaui in custody a month before the attack. Tenet was warning everyone that he could...

Finally you're saying something that I can agree on. The problem is, you're too hung-up on this particular group of Republicans. Punish them for their hypocrisy and indifference, vote them out this time. In two years, the Republican party will be thankful that you did this. You'll likely see...

After being briefed by then CIA director Tenet on 7/17/2001 (a week after the one that Rice didn't remember), describing the threat as "as a '10 on a scale of 1 to 10,'" John Ashcroft immediately switched from commercial flights to a chartered plane. When asked by reporters why the switch, his...

Was this a Republican conspiracy? Longtime Republican was source of e-mails http://www.hillnews.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/100506/news2.html Why were right wingers so quick to blame Democrats for the pedophile party's sins?

"Everyone knows that Congress people are assigned to committees based on their great weakness. Why would Senator Ted Stevens---a man more comfortable in the horse and buggy era---be in charge of regulating the Internet, which he believes is a series of tubes? A series of tubes though which other...

This is true. In fact, it would be even better if the congress and the presidency are split between the two parties - Reagan era in the 80's and the Clinton era in the 90's were two of the best periods for this country. Sure in both periods there were numerous scandals. The government was...

Have you read about the experiment where a monkey was given two "mothers," one is metal frame but gives milk, one doesn't have milk but is soft and fluffy. The monkey drinks milk from the metal "mother" then go cling on the fur one. Bush is your fur "mother."

No assumptions. Simply pointing out that this is not a zero sum game. Past experiences of imperial occupations have shown that the only way to pacify a population is to use a totally brutal force that the civilized nations have no stomach for. A half-hearted effort is worse than no effort at all.

1. Largest expansion of the federal government in history 2. Largest federal budget in history 3. Largest budget deficit in US history 4. Longest vacation by any US president 5. A veto-free no-hitter I'm sure there are more but these will surely be in the record books.

"Fear" is the wrong word. Despise. Like I said, Fox consistently, constantly, fabricates news items to advance right wing agenda. Foley (D-FL) is just one little example. Unfortunately, facts have a liberal bias.

Well, if you can't kill them faster than they can produce (recruit) new ones, you'd show a loss in that column as well.

My only question is, why do they need so many candles? I'm sure they're not for charting...:D

Your statement is misleading. Fox is as far to the right (39) as the big three to the left (60+), except for CBS which had a score of 70+ (but strangely, the data for CBS was from early 90's while data for pretty much everyone else was late 90's and 2000's). What you don't understand, is that...

This same study found that "the ACLU, if anything, is a right-leaning organization." (emphasis authors'). Do you believe that? Fox's score is very low in this study, clearly showing it's right wing bias (if you believe the study). The centrist news outlets are PBS NewsHour, CNN s...

Where have you been? They've been blaming Democrats for this since the story broke. And they've been "shocked" at Democrat's "intolerance" to a gay congressman. Although I disagree with you, I think this is the first meaningful contribution from the right wingers on this board since the...

Liberals are going to hate me for doing this but I think this will help you understand. Let's say on a scale between 1 and 10, 1 being completely good and 10 being completely bad. Let's say anything that breaks the law is above 5. Pedophilia is 10, heterosexual marriage is 1. Depending on...

Since when the Republicans cared about what the liberals would say? If they had properly handled this two years ago, even without revealing the evidence they had at their hands (which would totally discredit any defense Foley would put up and deflect any possible criticism from media), they...
