Come on, Ann is paid to do that. and who knows if these people are or aren't? not to mention, ann gets paid thru royaties from her books, which means she gets paid by the right wing pundits who buy her trash and spew it out further,,,who is more dangerous? We're talking rank & file leftist sentiment here. no we're not. we don't even know who they are. but if they are, they are far less influent

Of course it is all a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy though right SC? i didn't say it was or it wasn't. all i'm saying is that representing these comments as if they are a collective policy of any group is not accurate at all. they are from people with "screenames" on the web. we don't know who they are or what their actual agenda is. using it as some basis for what any larger group believes is quite silly, imho. it would be like people basing conse

Pelosi Makes 1st Big Mistake As Speaker in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Nanci Pelosi defended her decision to allow Congressman Jefferson on the Homeland Security committee. She weakly contended that his district, which includes New Orleans was vital to the committee. Nonsense! 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

The Puffington Host deleted them. However, before they did, many sites did pick them up. Of course the MSM are not among those sites. so, a website that is commonly associated with the left, the far left even, didn't find them appropriate, nor has anyone "MSM"...the comments weren't made by "the left" they were made by kooks and bastards who happen to post there. have you considered that they were possibly written by right wingers and posted there to "p

good point elf, but i think guiliani or a "main stream conservative' would get thru. plus, it wouldn't be in their interest to hold up the confirmation unless the nominee was extreme, like pat robertson or somethin,,,

Removing Cheney From Office Good For GOP in Republican JoeUser Forums

Vice President Dick Cheney might be the most polarizing individual ever to hold office in the modern era of our politics. And in the past couple of years, his popularity has sunk to levels below 20%. Meaning more than 4 out of 5 people don't approve of his handling of his job. OF course, Mr Cheney's cavalierness towards the rest of our government is only fueled by the

See the problem most people have is that they equate libertarians with "liberals" and don't realize that there "is" a distinct difference. perhaps. i think the major 2 parties have both done good marketing where it comes to painting all 3rd parties as radical fringe groups or communists. but i hear people referring more and more to libertariansism, either the party or the various political stances or philosophical views more often.

Reply to The Socialist and the Capitalist in Politics JoeUser Forums

Rush Limbaugh proposed this about 15 years ago and brings it up about two or three times a year. So libertarians and conservatives agree on at least one thing. I wonder how many more? actually, Paul has touted this idea since his 1988 run at least. and the idea probably goes back to since the US government began to have employers withhold taxes. but finding common ground is nice, yes. conservatives find much in common with libertarians, as do l

Sean, evidently, by this ultimatum, you don't want me in this discussion unless I agree with everything you say. not true lula. in my article, i specifically noted that the purpose here was not to get into a "is global warming real or not" tit for tat, let's all run out and google until we find just the right "gotcha " article debate. it's silly and non productive. you disrespectfully ignored that request and insisted on attempting to hijack my article

Condi Doesn't Know History, Darth Can't Get Anything Right.. in International JoeUser Forums

Last Sunday, on Fox News Sunday, Condi Rice once again proved she has no grasp of reality. If Congress were now to revise the Iraq authorization, she said, "… it would be like saying that after Adolf Hitler was overthrown, we needed to change, then, the resolution that allowed the United States to do that, so that we could deal with creating a stable enviro

lula...maybe you are confused, but coming in here and just "poo-pooing" every person who actually wants to do something about our environment as "all liberal or dissident Catholics" is a bunch of crap. i personally know plenty of conservative environmentalists. then you want to cite mark alexander, an obscure hack that represents no one, who is offering nothing more than a hate filled, coded propoganda message. and that was specifically what i respectfully asked people not to do here. <br/

Look at the Repubilcan congress spending at the end. Deplorable. They deserved to get kicked out. Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tx) has suggested that the goverment no longer allow employers to withhold taxes. instead, taxpayers would actually be forced to write out a check to actually "pay" their taxes. the reasoning being that people would feel much differently if they actually had to pay taxes rather than the painless "slow bleed" method we us

Would you be for drilling in the ANWR? i'm really not interested in getting off on that tangent debate, but my long term position has been no. So what, specifically do you suggest is done? It would take dozens of Kyoto accords to even put a dent into what China and India are going to do in terms of CO2 production. well brad, i'm not the expert here, so i really don't have any "5 point plans" or any

actually lula...there is a growing alliance between environmentalists and conservative christians and catholics, like yourself... from a recent article... The emergence of this religious environmental movement presents progressives with an intriguing opportunity to build a bridge over what has previously been a forbidding cultural chasm on matters of faith and morality. The White House, meanwhile, is in no position to stop that fr
