You didn’t say, “it is apparent that his staff and advisers do everything for him” and there you go again, “doing his work for him”, they are doing their work not his work. You need to back off on your practiced lawyer double-speak with these twisted messages. When attempted in written form it is easier to spot and challenge. And you aren’t saying that it is his staff’s fault, quit lying. You have consistently blamed Bush and challenged his intellect for well over two years now.

Personally, I am glad he isn’t an intellectual heavyweight or we would probably still be debating and studying what to do about the 9/11 attacks and we certainly wouldn’t have removed the regime in Iraq that was threatening us and the rest of the world.

I had the pleasure of talking politics with a real live liberal last night. A gay black man who was thought-provoking and rational, willing to answer my questions of WHY he thought the way he did and not just spew BS. Our time together was much too short but we parted with the promise of "we're not done with this".

It was interesting to note that he considers himself a leftie and I consider myself a rightie, but we really weren't that far apart in our beliefs. That gave us both something to think about with regard to party politics.

The beliefs of the two ideologies are very close I must say...We just emphasize what is different about us.

Disgust and disdain for conservative individuals?


A lot of 'liberal' people that I talk to at work, and around town don't seem to have what I consider to be liberal opinions. They're in favor of, say, lower taxes, against affirmative action, less restrictive gun control, etc. Typically conservative viewpoints.

Yet they sneer when they say conservative, think Bush is a raving madman, etc.


The only difference I can see between my views, and theirs, is that I like person X, and dislike person Y, and they're vice versa.


Gee, I guess politics is a popularity contest after all.

Yeah, that was the way it went last night. I was like, "Then why do you vote for someone who is FOR all those things if you are AGAINST them?" But we got interrupted by drunken revelry before we could really get into it.

So, Who's Lying Now?


Precisely which part of that statement isn't true ? - Clifford D. May, in The National Review


Scroll down to the second story in this article to find it.

"The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

That is what the President said during the State of the Union message, yet at least two(2) Democratic congressmen are hyping this part of the address to the nth level.

Demsfomd thinks if anything can be made of this(and he's fervently got both his fingers and toes crossed), the President ought to be tried for Impeachment.
