Did you get that off p2p or do you maybe have a web link? Pleeeease?

Look at it this way on any particular dollar that you make as income you pay tax on it. Spend it on say gas or tobacco products and you pay tax yet again on the same dollar. Those taxes are specific taxes that are voted on by the people in most cases. Excise taxes on alcohol and cigarettes are often imposed by the state due to legislative whim and / or on the local level via city statute. Gas taxes come from state laws, often to pay f

I don't think either of them are 'lazy bitches' They're both bitches, let's just get that out in the open right now. ...and go Dean!

I was disappointed when I read this off Yahoo News. The most important question went unanswered, "did the pies hit their intended target?" ...not only is Anne the likeness of a dominatrix on crack (though she does look like she's padded up a bit lately) she's a hardcore ho! She came through Columbia, MO two years ago for some book signing and she was a bitch! I like my conservative women, but she's just a confused c***!

7. The administration to adopt Kerry’s call for an immediate summit meeting of Middle East and Western allies, admit to blunders, and urge a new call to multilateralism for the purpose of securing and rebuilding Iraq. Let's do it, Americans are getting bled financially dry by this war. How about giving an alternative to the path of preemptive deficits?

I noticed you have Little Whip in your second category -- and while her politics and mine are pretty opposite, we both share a love for cheap liquor and a caustic sense of humour, so she ain't all bad. She`s actually a part of the 3d category, but the number of your category doesn`t necessarily mean you aren`t a better blogger than then those in the first or second category, it only means you better fit the defn. of the third. Also, e

But it's pretty easy to find anti-American articles by left wingers here. Do you want to give some examples, or would you rather leave it up to reader`s imaginations?

Wondering what happened to you...

Oooh! Good!

Michael Moore is part of the reason the left is being painted as unpatriotic I'd say that's a fair call. I don't know if Moore actually is unpatriotic, but perhaps he can come across that way when pointing out problems within America.

So you say they're all mindless robots, worker bees, tending to the queen. If you really believe that crap, you got another thing coming. You're saying they joined the military because they were bored, they were poor, they had nothing better to do, no good prospects. That is what was referred to by this statement: your assertion, not mine As you well know. Got a

Thank you for your time and contribution, enjoy your leave.

Damn, GX, you do look grim! May I ask where you were stationed for basic?

You sir are dead wrong on this one. Think logically. What the man meant (correct me if I'm wrong fellow ex-squid) was that if the man didn't believe in what he was doing he wouldn't be wearing the uniform because he would not have volunteered in the first place! I'm certain the gentleman pictured above entered the service before the Iraq war. Just because one is serving doesn't mean one supports the reasons one is performing one's duty

If that soldier in your pictures didn't believe what he was doing was right, he wouldn't be wearing the uniform. Wrong. In the service, and any vet will tell you this, you do what you are told to do, in basic, the Army "breaks you down to build you up", this is about the extinguishing of the civilian self and the establishing of the soldier who does what he is told and does not waste time questioning his superior's orders. You don't

Despite getting thrown in with the "hardcore scrappers" category, drmiler (see "Reasonable Bloggers") there's been a noted difference in you considering other's points of view and temperence in your writing that was lacking when you first arrived to JU.

I have to say, JU is the most vicious, arrogant blog site I've ever come across. God how I love it so!

Thank you for the feedback! I'm pleased you accept the honor, Steve. Yes, Sandy, I probably belong in the casual blogging group. Thank you for the kind words. I always enjoy visiting this community, though I've been hard nosed enough at times to stuff me in with the "hardcore scrappers."

Thank God I don't have to put up with Sir Peter! I would have been glad to appreciate him for satire, but last spring, when I first discovered politicalmachine, he staunchly defended his title as being real though a fellow blogger checked his claim and found it to be false. When Sir Peter began givin lame excuses for not being on the royal registry it was then that I realized this guy to be some sad poser.

I'm calling Ohio for Kerry. I feel MO is gone to Bush as almost all the paid staff in the Kerry camp have gone to Iowa to slug things out there. Penn. will go to Kerry, but just barely...(got some friends up there...)

Myrrander / Stevendedalus v. Draginol / Bakerstreet SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In response to post #30 by Myrrander, yeah, I've been wondering about that Grim...come on, I think that having more than two parties is a good thing, so why don't you spread the good word? Hearing more from the third party camp is beneficial to all of us, you would do your party a better favor by speaking out on their stance rather than backing G.W. . On a related note, if Kerry wins this presidential election he will suffer at the hands o

What I do not understand is why many people to the right believe that having liberal views is unpatriotic. The more accurate question is, "Why does the right always paint the left as unpatriotic," but that's so easily answered...
