But these numbers must be false! Or Bush-spun lies! Haven't you heard that the "Most Important Bush Domestic Policies have FAILED"? The Bush Truth is out there!

Unless you're totally blinded by bias, you've got to think that maybe all of the AG's ducking and diving, not remembering and contradicting as of late is stereotypical behavior of a guilty liar. Some people who believe in Justice think that someone who advocates torture and lying deserves a cheer for finally being relieved of

Hey Pseudo, thanks for the update. MySpace is down and I'm still not sure how much info I want to put on Facebook. I was only there for singrdave initially, anyway, and now I've become a sort of conduit through which he connected to other online friends. Which I appreciate. I have been able to find

Gene ignores anything & everything which doesn't dovetail with his psychotic hatred for Bush. How will his life have meaning after 20 January 2009?

Reply to HYPOCRISY ON JOE USER in Politics JoeUser Forums

The thing COL Gene can't stand is the unblinking light of truth. He posts his bile and venom, then refuses to listen to any arguments which refute his judgments. He can't claim his posts are ignored -- he has so many responses to his rants that other bloggers are envious. The difference is other bloggers are open to criticism. And other bloggers admit once in a while that they are wrong. There is nothing you can say that will cha

And this is the guy Sean Penn wants running OUR country! Maybe Sean should appoint himself President-For-Life too. Or maybe he has, in his own little mind. The problem I see with Chavez is that he is a Communist tyrant, plain and simple. He is unabashedly nationalizing the oil production in his co

They call themselves "the progressives"... but doesn't progress require at least some accomplishment or forward movement? For them, this is progress. They're dismantling the efforts of the past two administrations, one appointee at a time. The chorus of cheers yesterday in the MSM was deafening. Absolutel

Chucky Schumer was just quoted as saying that under Alberto Gonzales, "the Justice Department was a sinking ship." What he neglects to add is that the ship was torpedoed by deranged anti-Bush zealots in Congress.

I'm glad you are able to acknowledge the work done by Gonzales and also acknowledge the other truth you've acknowledged above. I'm not saying you don't get it, but just in case: the headline may indicate that I am personally calling for the destruction of Gonzales' career and character... quite the contrary!

I'm not buying it either. Heartfelt contrition? No -- highly spun, fully scripted, calculated damage control.

Reply to Undermining Jihad in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

Basically my approach to unsettled nations and dictatorships is very much pro-self determination. It won't last the political realities - just look at Iran. Less than 30 years and the regime is crumbling beneath the weight of a secularism it's struggling to hide. Armed revolution is quite self-determinatory,

A similar event happened to me once when I tried to take $100 from an ATM during a lightning storm. As the ATM processed my transaction the power went out. According to my statement, the money was withdrawn -- but obviously I didn't get my money. And this was on a Saturday, of course. Come Monday I was able to verify with the bank that the ATM balanced at $100 over, so I was able to get my money back in my account by the end of the week.</f

people like Dave here that are celebrating Gonzales resignation Oh no, I am absolutely not cheering and crowing about this. I think that Gonzales was an adequate AG, did what was expected of him, and his only perceived crime was being associated with GWB's administration. I feel that Gonzale

I actually saw it for the first time last April, as it came out in the UK six months ago. I just happened to be over there for work and had time to spare. First thing I wanted to do was take my family to it... but had to wait until this August to do so. Hilarious film. I loved it, my kids loved it, and it was a great film. We are Bean fans -- we own the DVD boxed set after becoming fans of the series on PBS. Will "Mr. Bean's Hol

Border Agents Eye Terrorists, Not Illegals in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

The Border Patrol's job is no longer to stop people from sneaking across the border. Its exclusive role is to fight terrorism rather than stopping illegal immigration and the flow of narcotics. Carlos X. Carillo, Chief Patrol Agent of the Laredo Sector for the US Border Patrol, said this in a Laredo town hall meeting. From the <a href="http://www.zwire.com/site/new

Ahh well, we all know the Dems are used to settling for second best. Alberto's persecution (not prosecution, persecution) and subsequent resignation is definitely part of the larger anti-Bush campaign. Though he was particularly inept under scrutiny, he would have been a perfectly adequate AG if not for the

It's not the fact that it's the rap music, it's the worst type of rap music with the cussing and swearning nasty lyrics! Exactly. I don't mind listening to somebody else's music. But when it has big nasty swearing, it becomes a social nuisance!
