Wow, really? You have just reported the insider trading expose' of the century!!! Actually, the LA times thought this story counted as good news to report. I find it interesting that family members and close friends of the Bush family tend to make the majority of their fortune from investments in the oil and defense industry and that from father to son, we see a parallel in their monetary i

Many have heard the Bush family makes quite a bit of money in the oil and defense industries. Just to keep everyone up to date on their making a killing off the sp(oil)s of war there is this story re-posted from the LA Times: Company's Work in Iraq Profited Bush's Uncle LA Times | February 24, 2005 WASHINGTON — The Iraq war helped bring record earnings to St. Louis-based defense contractor Engineered Support Systems Inc.,

Good post. Bush pandered to conservatives, but will never deliver on: Gun control reform Abortion reform and of course, Fiscal Conservativism. Things mentioned during last year's election, but to no avail. Bush's centralizing of power above state level and preference of Federal power over state's rights (see: Marijuana Law in California as a superb example) shows just how much of a "conservative" he really

If they deem the attire is unsuitable, is that not within their right? I suppose that technically they would be within their rights but there must be a good reason to back up their rather arbitrary view on things. The only "reason" "Principal Sam" gave was that Kelli's wearing the tux violated school "tradition". With the school in it's first year, he needs to fess up to his real reasons - ones that won't carry far with the community,

Even tyrranical bureaucrats can be right sometimes, Deference This has not been proven to be one of those times. I do not think the one person involved in this should have created such a mountain out of a molehill. Keep in mind that one person is Principal Sam Ward who heard of the "tuxedo pictures" and declared they would never make it in to the yearbook. There was / is no policy in the Fleming High Student

I agree with you, MacLeish. However, I was told by a female Republican and her friends that they would vote for Hillary just because she, also, was a woman. Go figure. I guess it follows with this last election; people voted for G.W. becuase he was a dumbass and they identify. j/k Bushies.... *Ouch!* *Hey!* I said I was kidding! <img src="../

Are you aware that the principal fired the editor of the school paper simply for voicing support of Kelli? Small town schools are notorious for being run by totalitarian administrators rarely abiding by their communitie's wishes. Schools are to be run by local school boards; panels of individuals elected by the community. No vote on the decision was made however, it was simply determined by superintendent David Owen's backing of pr

I like what Nash hints at, employ N. Korea's large and close neighbors to apply pressure to N. Korea. ...of course, since they have WMD's we should just invade them right now. (just kidding Bushie warhawks, don't get excited)

The Journal is the most read and trusted paper in America. After seeing this quote ,drmiler, I have this headline for you, "Impressionable person seeks advertising company for large paper to totally program him."

His pushing of the Patriot Act and his numerous lies to the public while keeping an eye out for his special interest buddies. What more does one need to question this man's motives and sincerity? If Bush wanted to make things right for me, he can: * fix his proposed budget by only cutting the pork not important programs designed to help the little man * op

That sounds pretty moderate to me (from a Republican perspective), however, there are obviously other things people consider when making a judgment about your "moderation" which seems to be tipping the scales against your favor.

Fair and balanced does not mean agreeing with liberals all the time, much to the chagrin of liberals. Nice attempt at trying to imply that such has been said. No dice. In regards to Moderateman's views, we've only his posts to go by as a yardstick of his "moderation". Can you honestly tell me the above post came from one who could concisely say his views are moderate? I am confident your judgment is not that fa

In a Party that has no direction nor any plans to help America, a party that cannot even agree with itself, they can find one common ground, hating me for the truths I freely give to them. Perhaps when you realize you are simply a political junkie who disagrees with the majority of whatever action(s) Democrats take and not the party's messiah you'll get better feedback on your articles (and if you stop the name calling, redundancy, gran

Now read this carefully. If he does not want the label (which some would find to be an honor, he apparently does not), then dont be one. Opposing the current agenda is a noble and rightful duty that must be spearheaded by the minority leadership, very similar to Gingrich and the "Republican Revolution" during the mid-90's. Your failure to be fully informed of the entire situation is also quite obvious, either that or you willfu

Dont like the label? Dont be one then. Translation: Do what we want or we will call you naughty names and blatantly attempt to smear you just like we did Sen. Cleland and countless others with damaging whisper campaigns. One week after the president said he wanted resolution between the parties, the RNC publishes it's hit piece fiercely attacking Reid (the Minority Leader) on a p
