'll tell you what. You show me a case of where someone got 51% of the popular vote and didn't get the electoral vote and I'll quit beating the horse. But do not use the 2000 election. I won't even have to. Link Synopsis: in 1876, Rutherford
Wow. I hope she has some recourse to sue the pants off them. I don't get it. She gets cancer, a disease that very few people recover from, has to go for sick treatment and the school district, full of honey, goes, 'well, we'll let you either quit or get fired?' And then we wonder why the educational system goes down for the last time when school boards do messed up stuff like this?
but will you die for this same principal? Yes, but not under the guise of 'for this country' or any other. The right to say what you need to is sacred, even if you do piss me off when you say it.
The problem is, and this sounds weird, torture isn't an adequate way of extracting any sort of information. Anyone will confess anything under torture to make it stop. As for your comments on terrorists, the people at Gitmo aren't necessarly terrorists, but 'enemy combatants', held indefinetly...I think that violates some of the personal freedom we expouse. <b
your not "bleeding hearts". It's funny how you conservatives label us as such. I wouldn't label myself as a bleeding heart, necessarly...plus the imagery is disguisting. We're 'bleeding heart liberals' because someone projects as such. As far as my own international and national agenda politcally goes,
As a result, the reader is to infer that the solution is to address the coming shortfall in social security by the “American model” that furthers inequality, or as he would prefer to put it, even less social support. "Please, sir, can I have some more?"- Oliver Twist Sometimes when you c
51% is a mandate, but he doesn't get to do whatever he pleases. This tells me that you don't know everything about our system of government Tells me YOU don't know everything about our system of government. He with the most electorial votes wins, not he who gets the most votes. *beats the dead horse som
No, we don't. Personally, I do feel a moral and ethical obligation to help those involved, and will PRIVATELY contribute to that end. I will do so, however, to agencies which will most efficiently apply my contributions, and not to middlemen who will use this situation to their own financial ends. I dis
Guess what? It already has. So you can give up that one. Sarcasm. Look it up in the dictionary. Although, you do get my apologies for your tradegy. I think, however, you could see your way past to give in this case considering, I hope you had help and suppor
Wow. You all also realize we're the most wealthy country in the world right now? So, it's not like we don't have the money to do it. Hell, 1 billion dollars is 1/1,000th of the unit of money that the US debt is measured in, trillions of dollars. So, the argument that it's going to put in more debt is sorta like arguing a dollar is going to hurt after you've charged $1,000 on your credit card. And before you make the argument that that's a flawed ar
*yawns like a cat* Why are you guys so disturbed? Freedom to assemble/speech...that's somewhere in that Constitution thingy. They're saying they don't agree with Bush and that he's a crappy president. Neither of those statements I disagree with. As for 'respecting your president', our president ceased being a deity somewhere in the Nixon era, from what I understand of history, and espically during the Clinton
Hey Solnac, I can't say I agree with much of what you said here, but I will congratulate you on your entertaining way of writing it down. Don't go to Canada, we need to keep a few liberals around, just to keep it interesing. ;~D Well, thank you. I try to keep things light and amusing enough 'roun
You are right, once the euphoria of such an all encompassing political victory wears off, we Repubicans will realize that the curtain is open and it's critic's night at the opera Ted, you got it! I'm really happy about this, acutally. I don't want to see this country go the wrong way as much as any Repu
Well, what about Ann Coulter? A partisan hack... You make the start of a good point NJ but... She did not help conservatives lose the election either... you know why? because we won... ...and had you lost, you'd be blaming Ann now. *shrugs* Ted Rall speaks no more for us sane Dems than Ann C
And, as to Clinton becoming Sec Gen of the United Nations do you really believe that will happen????????? Nah, but it's been conjecture enough. I was being slightly teasing there. <TD class=
Are you *totally* incapable of saying *anything* good about President Bush? dr. miler: He's alive, breathing, and I'm happy he's both. He made a few excellent pep talks after 9-11 happened. There, something good about Bush. Oh, and I don't necessarly disagree when he said we needed to make taxes simple
Why should "I" have to tell you? I'm not the one who made the original statement. I was asking the one who did. Why don't you ask him? Well, it seemed like you *knew*....that would be the obvious reason you posted that statement, unless you did it just to be ornery, which would make no sense and hav
While they are led around by the Bush administration....Not every pentagon decision goes through Bush. And if your manager at work told you that you were doing a crummy job and you need to move your butt, you wouldn't? I don't see why the DOD wasn't all over this at the get go. <TABLE cellpa
Lee1776, you posted fascinatingly, so I'll cover this one issue at a time: It is just interesting that some people are suddenly so worried about vehicle armor, when they just got done wanting a man in the Presidency that had a track record of Anti-Defense and even voted again
That's baloney! There will *always* be fool reporters out there who would do it anyway. Somebody always has an axe to grind with Uncle Sam. ...You know, I'd almost say the opposite. Abu Gharib happened for months before it came to light. If anything, the rep
Solnac....We just did it again! Posted similar articles... I think I am going to start specifically checking your blog before posting an article of my own... Ehh, but there's enough difference between ours to get some good issues going, and some good replies. And while you're at it...you might wanna
Um, don't be angry with me, Col. Gene, I agree with you...so much so, I blogged a similar article on the Rumsfeld response to the questions from the soldiers. And you ask the same questions I ask myself often: why do we continue to support things when it seems clear that seem proof positive that they're not working? Again, my apologies. If it makes you feel better, there are now three threads about this is
your right, your blog and I apoligize. Thank you, I'm glad cooler heads have prevailed. If you want to call dabe that on your own blog, I don't care (and I won't stop you, it's your choice). Just keep the more inflammatory crap such as profanity out of here, ok? I appeciate and accept your apology.
Greatest doesn't mean because I think we still need improvement in some areas, I'm a treasonous, hypocritical bastard that deserves to go to Canada. " Canadian citizen here. Hmmm. This line worries me. You seem to be implying that Canada is a land of treasonous, hypocritical bastards. Oops! Gotta go. I'm l
Amen, brother/sister! I'm a little jack of the whole deal as well. I thought it would die down after the election but if anything it seems to have got worse. Brother would be correct to my sex, and it's good I'm preaching to the choir, at least. Yeah, yeah i
