dr,,,what the hell does this have to do with my article? is john edwards in the senate? is he on the foreign relations committee? my article was about REPUBLICANS primarily who lambasted the secretary and the president's policy ... it wasn't about things said 3 or 5 years ago by democrats. it has nothing to do with john edward's view. and i could really care less how someone felt about this war years ago. what is i

So are yours. You pontificate and manufacture relationships. But I have been there, and you have not. That is a fact. where did i analogize in ths thread? Your analogies are as silly and perhaps more so than Brads.

Concession? You're really saying that there is no run-up to an election in the year before? by that logic,,,we are always in a "run up to the election" (your term) then as the house is up every 2 years. but unfortunately, the examples you cited were senators, who weren't up for re-election in the next election after the quotes you cite. i would define "the run up to the election" as the several months preceding it. in this cy

And you purposely pick this era because you know that in this time we created an entire new industry that created millions of jobs. Handy, huh? You'll note that once the bubble busted you returned to the floundering of the mid-90's. oh please,,,i've explained thoroughly why i picked the stats i did. and like i said before, every era has it's "eve

that you brush off the quotes because there wasn't an election that particular day, no, there wasn't an election that particular year. you claimed "run up to the election" which was false. Even if Bush is

just a thought,,,then i gotta do sh*t... maybe the compromise is this...some contend the combo of raising taxes on the rich and raising the min wage are good. others contend the opposite and stand for not raising the wage (some even want to lower it) and lowering taxes more for the rich. maybe the combo of raising wages and lowering taxes is the way to go...more money in people's pockets, and more receits could mean more tax revenue. hmmmmmm...

You neglect to point out that inflation surged to over 7% after the wage hikes in 90 and 91. It didn't recover to 1990's level until 1996, and then we were in the bloom of the tech boom. yeah, but you ignore that after the 96 and 97 hikes, none of that happened. and still, overall, the trend was down. but regardless, the other factors like inflat

Again, everything is a vacuum. If a Democrat isn't running, then there can't be anything politically motivated in their rhetoric before the biggest congressional election in years. I don't know why I even bother... that's ridiculous. and again, i quoted and was talking more about republicans, not democrats.

Quite frankly, I trust milton Friedman and Walter E. Williams a lot more than pirates causing Global warming hokum. i haven't said anything about brad and his theory on global warming (and have no idea what it is or what you are talkin bout) so this is just red herring rhetoric.... <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=

This is just silly, Sean. Who exactly was Bush refusing all those years when he said over and over that we didn't need more troops? You can't have had your head in a hole for 4 years while the Dems whined about more troops, a future draft, etc. what is silly is the way you are twisting reality here baker. you siad "in the run up to the

Eventually prices go up because manufacturers are feeling the pinch of having to pay employees a higher minimum wage and we're right back to square one again. did you look at my sources? here...from the dept of labor...(the link's above, it's the 1st one) 1990 127.4 128.0 128.7 128.9 129.2 129.9 130.4 131.6 132.7 133.5 133.8 133.8 128.7 132.6 130.7 6.1 5.4 1991 134.6 134.8 135.0

Yeah, that was the day when all the people who had tried to scare people during the run up to elections by demanding more troops, suddenly started saying that more troops were a bad thing show me where "all these people" said such things. the only person who has been calling for more troops besides the administration and it's cronies (and even some of them abandoned ship) has been john mccain. some called for more tro

Yesterday, National Security Advisor and Bush loyalist Condeleza Rice was grilled by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. For hours, Ms. Rice had to endure an assault of tough questions not only from the other side of the aisle, but from her own party, whom, at least somewhat, has turned against this administration's reckless Iraq poicies.

The Heritage Foundation likes to tout a study they did that apparantly "proves" that raising the minumum wage somehow increases inflation, raises unemployment and besides, the only people making that wage (or less) are rich suburban kids. They contend that we hurt those folks (who, in the last sentence didn't exist outside of a cushy suburban home) who will somehow be

and again, I'll ask why you aren't railing against people who are demanding our involvement in Darfur? Do they feel threatened by Darfur? Does Darfur have WMDs? are you talking strictly military involvement? i'm not sure what exactly is the best course of action there (and i don't claim to be an expert, i know a few things like a lot of
