With all the campaign rhetoric flying about last year, it was easy for true believers to give Bush&Co. the benefit of the doubt on WMD's in Iraq. Now that lie has finally been put to rest Link for the last time ( all those fake intelligence reports like the "yellow cake being bought from Niger" should have been a clue to the public ), a new Gallup poll has found

I believe what Enigmagnetic is saying is fairly straightforward. The rural areas that are less diverse and possibly less tolerant with rich histories of racism (such as the southern states) voted for the man currently in office. The highly - urban, more diverse, and possibly less intolerant regions ( think: the majority of the west coast and nearly all
Sure, everyone who opposes authoritarian law is "schizo" - how long have you been drinking the kool - aid? Since 9/11?
No. 1 Clinton "Accomplishment" Signed NAFTA which exploits the poor in third world countries and sucks the jobs out of America. Hmm...suck...job.
Lucas, people do talk about what good there is in Iraq, I see "Rah! Rah!" pieces on Fox fairly frequently - whenever there is favorable news to report to the homefront. The administration wants very badly for things to look as good as possible in Iraq (don't you remember all the rosy talk about how well things are going in Iraq ALL last year?), so don't think they won't shout good news from any mountaintop. Something to remember:
Thank you for your concise honest statement.
I agree with you, Macleish. Political orientation doesn't equal psychosis. I think what you often see at JU is the confusing sentence, "Left wing crazies," or, "Right wing crazies." Which the author could say pertains only to those who are "crazy" and also liberal / conservative, but like deceptive advertising, the insinuation often leaves the reader inferring the author meant "all on the left / right are
I don't know WHY the topic of this post went from Iraq to the budget, but I'll throw in my two cents on Iraq. It's obvious some Bushites want to stifle discussion of Iraq as more and more facts make it tacitly clear that mistakes, lies, and corruption make up the majority of this administration's policies regarding Iraq. Some don't want to hear the "broken record" or the "leaky faucet" but until this issue is cleared up and as long as devel
How fall the Once great democratic party has fallen, with citizen representatives as colgene, dabe, myrrander and reikihouse no wonder the people of america have SAID AND WILL continue to say a resounding, Have you seen the multitude of posts from the JU crazy right? Strictly speaking in absolute numbers, I would suggest JU is not comprised mostly of liberal crazies...or can you see that?
Clinton, Bush, and Bush Jr. will be three-waying each other in hell when their time comes. When was the last time America had a REAL PRESIDENT who altruistically operated for the best interests of the American People?
I am thankful that Bush causes his opponents to behave so insanely that they act out in ways that make them look deranged... - Moderator Draginol more like... I am thankful that Bush causes his proponents to behave so insanely that they act out in ways that make them look deranged... Seriously, one would have to cover one's eyes and jab sticks through one's ears
Come on, Doc. If the administration fucks up in some way, is there a reason one should defend the fuckup? Col Gene (whom I'm certain you are referring to) does not claim Bush to be at the root of all problems - he simply points out what instance he believes they are fucking up on. Instead of attempting to slide all Gene's arguments in to the trashcan because they happen to highlight things he believes the admin. are fubar -ing, debate the issue with

pri•va•cy n. 1. The quality or condition of being secluded from the presence or view of others. The state of being free from unsanctioned intrusion: a person's right to privacy. 2. The state of being concealed; secrecy. - Dictionary.Com “[privacy] is a vacuous concept that is a convenient lie and always has been.” – John Galt or “…it is a logical fallacy” – John Galt Your proof,
Encrouchment is not a Republican thing or a Democrat thing. It is what happens when We, The People insist the government protect us FROM OURSELVES!!!! I agree. This is not a partisan issue. That said, because Republicans are the dominant party and because they have led such a charge against civil liberties (with the dem.'s tagging along) it is not surprising that they receive the brunt of criticism, or even, the credit for rec
mmm, if you look at the date he made that point a year ago. Things have changed to a huge extent since then. ..or not. A list of things that haven't changed from the list last year: 1.Can anyone seriously claim that there is less terrorism now than there was immediately prior to 9/11? 2.Electricity is infrequent (three hours a day against 23 under Saddam - Note, Bremer is claiming otherwise), but it is free for
We don't even need compromise, Helix, just the gumption to meet on the common ground of preserving America's original framework. Problem is, most Americans simply don't care about the legislative rending of democratic underpinnings as they don't understand how it affects their lives and that of their fellow citizen. I will ask though have you, Deference, or Dabe..met someone who's been violated by the patriot act/mass surveilance? <br
The surveilance, manipulation of the press, our country being run by corporate interests, investigations of library cards and book check-outs, censorship of the media, The list goes on...... Unfortunately, this country has its collective head up its collective ass, which is indicative of how good a job the Republicans are really doing. Goddamn Dabe! You just about said it all right there! I must add, however, that though the Republic
Mr. Galt, you should tend to your own before offering redundent criticism without counter argument. Instead of reading between the lines and making inferences about the text, you simply repeat that I've made an "assertion" and a "statement" - without specifics or correction. You failed to understand the parallel I drew between the principle of equal opportunity and the principle of privacy. To
I cannot believe this debate is still going on - so I'll finally add my two cents. Before I begin I would like to state that I am pro-life and firmly against the idea of euthanasia. Now let's look at the facts: Terry Schiavo is under the guardianship of Mr. Schiavo. Regardless of what one thinks of Mr. Schiavo, he had the most intimate relationship

Let's look at the facts: Terry Schiavo is under the guardianship of Mr. Schiavo. Regardless of what one thinks of Mr. Schiavo, he had the most intimate relationship with Terry. If any one person knew or could deduce what Terry would have wanted, this is the person. Terry's parents say Terry would have
Um, hey, Os/2 Wiz...I think you posted in the wrong place.
Ms. Boxer is absolutely retarded to propose a "supervote". What an obviously desperate ploy.
The BBC finally confirms the dissenting opinion about Iraqi Oil and the "neo-con" agenda. The link below will take you to the article and a link on that page will stream the actual Newsnight video. Very comprehensive and very interesting - you won't see this in the states on our mainstream media networks. Not even a peep. Leave it up to the folks on the other side of the pond to do our media's job for them. All those who thought the admi
How afraid are you, really, of the current administration? Do you stay up at night worrying that you've done something to offend them, and they're going to come for you in your sleep? I'm not "afraid" of the current administration so much as I am the possibility of me becoming a victim of the poor law being pushed and perpetuated by "Republicrats". When I was in the service (Active Army), I was pulled in to a C.I.D. investig
