I think it's hilarious that people still expect our corrupt and crippled political system to work and produce competent candidates.

What I really find funny is that when someone is so loyal to a party that they think only the opposing party is the corrupted one. So far most people who believed in Bush admit he's not what they tthought he was, when it comes to Clinton, he was the victim.

I'll be interested to see what you have to say about the host of Democrat "bad apples" that are sitting in office now. As a "Libertarian" I would hope you'd have as much or more ire for the party that made big promises and is currently doing little more than the people you spend all your time whining about...

again...i've called for reid's ousting, criticized pelosi for giving jefferson a big comittee seat and criticized murtha, hillary and others.

i think the democratic leadership sucks for the most part. i'm not so quick to damn pelosi, as she is "some good, some bad" in my view thus far. but she is sliding in my polls as of late. i gave her credit for her "1st 100 hours" deal...they did what they said, can't blast her for that, regardless of my views on the individual pieces of legislation. i skipped the "non stories" about the plane and what not...turns out, her goin to syria didn't hurt anything, and may have been a good push...time will tell...i'm sure many here will disagree with that, and that is fine... i still use every chance i get (like right here) to point out that they are still working a measley 3 day work week in congress, which is utter bullsh*t...and nanci promised to change that.

i can't stand our governor, ruth ann minner. but that usually comes up in personal conversations i have where i have called for her impeachment. if ya'll really need me to write an article about delaware's governor, i'll try n find the time. but she's pretty low on my scale of importance. and i always figured no one would be interested.



then we are agreed, neither of us are each other's enemy...a point i've tried to make to the right on here for a long time.

But you chose to tar "republicans" with a scandal of what amounts to a City Council man in a podunk - on the DAY Jefferson was indicted with more counts than the last 3 congressmen combined.

You missed the point. Why did you not blog about Chuck Richardson? Saad El Amin? Rita Trammel?

I guess because they dont fit your motif. You may not think you are, but to those reading you that is how you come across. "forget the plank in the eye of the democrats, lets look for a splinter (a non-person) in the eye of a republican".

While we cannot see walks on blogs, we can see talks. And your talk belies your protestations.

But to be more exact - now tell me how many people (party not necessary) were accused, indicted, or convicted of crimes against minors in the time it took you to write that non-story? Are they any less evil because they are NOT republicans? Perhaps your title would be changed if you knew that on that day, 4 other council persons were indicted or convicted of sex crimes with minors - and none of the 4 were republicans (at least not listed as such). So why did you pick on that one with the blaring headline of "REPUBLICAN".

You are judged by your bias that your write. Not what others write of you.

now tell me how many people (party not necessary) were accused, indicted, or convicted of crimes against minors in the time it took you to write that non-story? 1st, you call it a non story. that doesn't make it so. to me, sex with 8 and 10 year old girls by someone who was a rising star in the GOP is a story. 2nd, that wasn't your premise. you contended that i should have been writing about bill jefferson, not all the other cases of molestation. again, i'm not AP. and the standard you are setting for me is simply ridiculous. i'll write what i write, you feel free to interpret it any way you want. my purpose here is hardly to please you or anyone else. and a bunch of like minded neocons and hard right wingers is hardly going to influence what i write at all. all i ask is not to be insulted on my own space, and that includes the subtle little backhanded ones. and quite frankly, i let 90% of them roll off my back. every once in awhile i decide that enough is enough and make a statement or have a dialogue about it in a thread. then, like now, i go back to doing what i do.

All he was really saying to you was, don't holler about one side of the coin if you're not going to holler about the other side of it.

Except for the part where you and Guy only "holler" about the one side, leaving the other side in beautiful effigy, without apparent blemish.

Pot, meet the kettle.

There is a difference. DrMiler and I do not pretend not to be conservative, we proclaim it. Sean wants you to think he is a libertarian that can only find fault with Republicans. Now he may be a libertarian, but when he walks like a democrat, quacks like a democrat, and swims like a democrat, then most people would say he is a democrat.

DrMiler is not "hollering" about him attacking one side and not the other - he is "hollering" about his dishonesty in doing so.

Sorry, I missed your slam on William Jefferson the day he was indicted on 16 counts. Maybe you could link to it.

i slammed jefferson before he was indicted...and others in the same article...i also gave credit where due,,,,from the article...

Last year, after allegations and 90,000 of marked bills in his freezer came to light, Jefferson was rightfully kicked off the Ways and Means committee. Unfortunately, the people of New Orleans sent this soon to be felon back to Washington. Most of the nation cited corruption as a major reason for change in Washington. Obviously, the voters who sent MR Jefferson back to D.C. weren't amongst them.

In his case, Speaker Pelosi had a grand opportunity to stand up for the Americans who are sick of the blatant corruption in Washington. Instead, she decided to play "business as usual" as Congressman Jefferson got comfortorble in his committee chair.

On one hand, I applaud the Speaker for her management and success of their "1st 100 hours" in getting thru all the legislation they promised. They certainly have been more effective and victorious than over in Harry Reid's Senate, who seems stalled at the starting line.

On the other hand there's gross cronyism and old school politics in moves like this. There's also her inability to actually make good on the promise of a 5 day house workweek. So far, they've only had one, and this week is another 3 day week.

here's your link...

i am sorry but Sean threatened to have me kicked off of here once because i refused to agree with him on one of his threads. he was attacking bush for something and when i accused the other side of doing the something he told me it wasn't important because he wasn't talking about the other side and if i didn't agree with him he would have be blackballed from the forum all together

so yes Sean is a democrat no matter what he says he is and he is into censorship when someone disagrees with him

no dan,,,i simply requested that you stick to a subject and not repeat moronic crap over and over. and you were never threatended in any way. you made that up when i asked you to try to not be an idiot in much more diplomatic language than i'm using here. the fact is it is more annoying to put up with your lack of grasp of the english language than anything you have to say. the fact is you haven't made hardly any decent points since arriving. the fact is that all you do is spew the parroted talking points of the neoconservatives without any real understanding of what you are saying...and it's obvious.



the obsession continues...
