The only True judge of Bush will be history, try to remember Abraham Lincoln's Presidency was seen as a huge failure, 100,000 of thousands of Americans lives lost, American killing each other, brothers and fathers killing brothers and sons, History proved him to be a great man. Time will tell, not any of us. On this one, I'm happy to rely on history as the judge. Think Nixon.
Ok, I confess my add has kicked in and I stopped reading replies around number 98. So, this point might be redundant. Congress authorized the use of force in Iraq, but under the misleading information that WMD's existed. That intel, which even Powell believed, has been soundly criticized even by George Tenet, Mr. Slam Dunk, himself. We went to war on the wrong pretense. If Bush wanted to go into Iraq because SH was a bad guy, that's what he should have presented to the world. He di
And your whippy rat icon thing is turning me on. This debate sucks. (the one on tv right now). Sigh, Pakistan is a good three days worth of ranting.
Hannibal's reply was better. Come on, you can do better, I gave you plenty of room! Please, pretty please?
I'm sorry, Jythier. My reply was snippy. I am Christian. And today,perhaps more than most days (someone very close to me was very sick and is getting better). But, I did see the lady on CNN with the Jesus pancakes and couldn't resist. I'm sorry. (It was kinda funny though, maybe just a little?)
do you thin Ron Paul can win? (I'm just wondering, Hannibal. Not saying he can't or that it should even be a factor)
God damn it, Bill Schneider just ripped off my blog. Crap. Am I not that original? Gonna have to rethink this. crap. grrr...
Ok, then, I'll keep an eye on my pancakes.
Who did you vote for in the Primary Election of 2004? And why? How does that vote -- or the reasoning behind that vote -- affect your actions this go around? Remember in November of 2004, Howard Dean was the annointed frontrunner and presumptive nominee of the Democratic Primary. Poll after poll showed Dean ahead -- he was the Internet money raising darl
I think voting does help. (Now that I got the puppy kicking out of my system.) I am the eternal optimist. I also think everything you write is true -- to a point. I've blogged about it myself. But then something always happens. Something that puts my jaded nature back just a little. Some check or balance, some close vote, some scandal involving foot tapping, something. Sometimes it's just pure political crap. But I do think we move to the cent
I can't argue with that. Maybe I could, but my brain stopped about noon. So I won't. Somedays, despite my America RA RA thumping in my response, I do think Americans are butt stupid at times. And lazy. And, often I'm glad more people don't vote when I realize they are getting their news from the "best name in political coverage." But at the moment I'm in a pissy mood, been through the ringer, functioning on little sleep, and would kick a puppy if
My ba is psych. I saw enough crazy people to avoid them. I understand where you are coming from. It's been a long day, and I have a long evening ahead. Sorry I can't be more indepth or thought provoking at the moment. Cheers!
" I was shocked to discover how many 'pro-lifers' would vote for 'pro-choice' candidates..." So, you explained very nicely why Pat Robertson decided to support America's abortion and gay loving mayor? No, Americans aren't stupid, they are incredibly smart. By saying they are stupid and fooled, then the next step is they need someone-- say the government -- to do things and make the smart decisions for them. You know, to keep them
No, I don't think I would have been any less amazed if he was a plumber. I always just thought of him as the crazy hermit next door. Our points are similar, though I think it's hard to be all high and mighty when (on your part) I'm self-criticizing. Your tone comes off as though it is you who is judgemental and sitting on the throne, Mr. Little People, not me. The person, who I'm friends with, the neighbor that asked me to come and find Mr. Blue -- she's the wife of a local fisherman. I know
Ted, Yes, I'm part of the drive by media -- but with a few caviots. I''m freelance, first of all, but am credentialed with the Congress to cover Capitol Hill for whoever is paying my tab. Read: after 9/11 it is hard to get credentialed without being a legitimate journalist. Though, as Bush found out, possible. My dad used to be a hard news reporter. He was also press secretary for a member of congress back in the day. My clients range from v
If Curveball isn't enough, read Woodward's State of Denial . You won't sleep at night. The entire WMD thing was a fraud, based on outdated and flimsy evidence. That's just a fact. At best, Bush was hoodwinked by yes men who wanted to fulfill his profecy. At worse, he lied and caused the death of thousands to persue his own agenda.
You are funny. Wrong, but funny. Well, maybe not even wrong. I'm still forming my opinion....
I meant a snotty photographer, they are the worse. ! and thanks for writing, M
Geeze, I hate to sound like a snot. But, many who shot with those cameras were very restricted with what they could do. But they were a start. I'm talking about starts, here. Places to launch from -- and that is why the analogy works, at least in my mind. 'course, I'm ADD.

THAT DID MAKE ME LAUGH, ANYWAY, THANK YOU.
Geeze, where to start. You probably shouldn't read my response. I am a Christian, moderate, pro-choice, gay man. So, since my background is different from yours, as I read your blog, you have no interest in what I have to say. Ok, then, I guess I'll move on.
I personally thought Harriet Myers was a stellar choice. Oh, yeeeeesssss, she was unqualified. But it was good payback for her loyalty. Isn't that important? Isn't that a qualification? No? ooops.
I knew it. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. I often thought political commercials could just substitute names for any candidate running. "Doug Smith cares about you. He cares about children, and the environment. He'll keep your taxes low, the parks clean, and every four years, Doug will make sure the road in front of your house is paved. Doug. Doug is a proud A
Just a little judgemental are we? How do you know he was pompus? He was nothing of the kind -- Did you read the article? He lived in what very easily could have been mistaken for a crack house. (it's the one everyone whispers about in an otherwise nice neighborhood...) My point is I judged someone based on their current circumstances -- a crazy old man living in squalor -- and completely missed the fact that he might have been interesting and ins
