The democrats won because the Republican base punished the GOP, not because of anything the democrats have done. This was hardly a major victory and you are already advocating for the usual liberal stances...higher taxes and punishing businesses. But now col the democrats have some power, and will have to be accountable for their actions. Although I doubt we will see any p

The people of Iraq elected the current government. It's too bad that blind haters of freedom like yourself can't get that through your head. What part of Hussein gassing a village or two makes you think he is worth defending? I'm assuming you are referring this comment to Bahu?

Appeasement to appear strong never works. Compromise does. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with compromise. It's when the "my way or the highway" mentality gets going, by whomever...then things get screwed up.

You don't have a fucking clue. You know, I could take that so many ways. However, I'm in a good mood so I won't be an asshole. If you looked, i did say "if." That very word there, was the variable, so to speak. It's like: If it rains tomarrow...then I'll get an umbrella. If the car is sold....then I will have

We should just sit down to dinner with them and talk it over. I'm sure we can come to an understanding and then give each other a nice warm hug. IF it is a possiblity, without the -erm- side effects, then yes. Oh t

You pick and choose when to see things through your eyes, and when to 'say for sure'. Funny you don't have the same opinion in all your politics. Really, who so? I never noticed that. Don't you feel the least bit

There are several. They fail by and large not because of any institutional blockage keeping them from power, but from their own inability to market themselves as a viable alternative. Often they're very narrow-focused groups that only care for a subset of the issues being discussed. Like it or not, the Dems and Repubs do a bet

Do you really think people aren't aware of who is doing what in Iraq? In Gaza? Odd that they win elections. When people vote for Hezbollah and Hamas, you think they don't believe it when Hezbollah and Hamas themselves take responsibility for terror? I accept the fact that they have a different mindset. What you and I see as wrong,

MasonMNovember 6, 2006 14:08:08Reply #7 I took the time to formulate a rather lengthy response to this garbage, but you know what? There isn't any point. Your hatred of anything even remotely involving the US has made you addle brained and no amount of factual information is going to change that. Hate, or Criticism? Dislike, or Disag

there are over one billion members of Islam the most recent polls show that somewhere from 10 to 15 percent agree with the terrorist or support them or are terrorists themselves, do the math. So, guilt by association. Okay, so...you're a republican. Does that mean that you agree with everything they do? You're jewish, does that

hot air?? geeze lucas have you been paying attention? twin towers no more, london bombing, spain bombing, bali bombing, beheading, AND ON AND ON. Okay, granted. I didnt choose my words carefully on that. What I mean, is: Yes, they are a threat, but...they are not as big as they think/we think. At least, IMO.

that is exactly what they want you to think, that they are no "real" threat. *shrugs* It's what I feel. I've dealt with peopel who only deal with hot air, and they, and those i dealt with - never acted on their threats, and have yet to. <TD clas

First off, Do away with the electoral college. Secondly, Get some freaking third parties out there. (more than just one!) Greens, libertarians, facists, etc... I don't care who it is, two parties don't work. Finally.... In my opinion... "We the people..." has become obsolete due to our apathy, due to our unwillingness to act. We sit by, and are placated. We don't do anything

Question, I've heard that you feel that liberalism/liberal thought is messing up the US. How much do you dislike it? To watch Many thousands of people scream with such hatred "death to America" is frightening to say the least. It's been the same rally cry for years. Once they really b

Do the people we elect to office serve the public or lead the public? They are elected with the understanding that they will serve their consituents, then they show that they are full of shit. People call them worthless, morons. Those people vote for them again. So, who's the moron? <img src="

To add to my bit: Some folks say that the UN is for peace. Hmmm, me thinks not. How many conflicts have started, with the UN failing to stop them? It claims peace, but brings none. It claims that every country is sovereign, but yet it binds nations in chains.
