I'm agreeing Jeb here too, I'm also agreeing with Brad like I usually do. Unlike what Saint thinks, there is a horrible work ethic today. People work for money and they do as little as possible. Will these people work harder if minimum wage is increased? No. They will drag their companies down with them. I'd like to say that a lot of people, I'm not saying most, put little more than minimum wage effort into
What is Kerry going to do better than Bush?
1. There is a bit of a difference between senator and president...but they probably should have called them both by their titles. 2. Bush wants kids to learn...by giving them more tests, implies to me that Kerry wants kids to learn but without the tests. Something like giving more tests is going to make a child not like the person, like saying Bush wants to make kids healthier by giving them a lot more shots. I am angered by such obv
Hey, I did bring up Clinton! I didn't really say anything bad about the man though.
The point about the invasion of Iraq is that Bush was in such a rush to go to war based on an "imminent threat" and had little interest in building a truly international coalition that would share the financial and military burden of the invasion. First of a
Brad I thank you for this little fact you gave to us. The fact that the tax cuts allowed this site shows how it can help. Now Brad I'm curious, would you be subject to Kerry's proposed tax increases for the "rich"? This also brings up another point. They were able to create another job with their tax cut. The wealthier people are the ones who have the ability to create new jobs. More money will make them more likely to hire more people and therefore de
Sounds like someone is a little too quick to believe rather unbelievable rumors about the Bush administration.
This reply is mainly in response to Wahkonta. I really don't know how credible Clarke is. It is beginning to be clear that Clarke didn't really change his story all that much between a few years ago and today and his book. His attitude and focus on certain aspects is what has changed. He seems bitter because he is very against the Iraq war. I don't know what most of his motivations are, but he seems to be telling a somewhat accurate side to the story
Apparently Clarke refused to testify under oath a few years ago just like Condoleezza Rice is doing now. I don't know how much this hurts Clarkes side since it was about Y2k, but its still an interesting note. I personally believe Condoleezza Rice should testify, but here's the link: http://www.drudgereport.com/rc1.htm I again apologize for lack of a clickable link, but for some reason I can't get the link to insert using Firefox.
I like how everyone treats this WMD thing like Bush started it. People who hate Bush and love democrats love to jump on the WMD thing and yet seem to forget that it was Clintons administration that also made a big deal about the WMD thing. I also don't accept the idea that Clinton really had no idea that there were no WMD's, but Bush knew he was lying. I also don't understand how people never consider that WMD's would have so easily been well hidde
Hasn't Bush been trying to take many of the issues from the left??
I think the point was to show that the WMD thing wasn't started by Bush. I like many of those other videos better, I don't know if you watched any of them or not.
Jeb, even though you in no way replied to my post, I want to apologize for calling you an ideologue. Even though I rarely agree with you, you have always presented a good argument.
This is another enjoyable video from brain-terminal.com. Link is right here If you have never watched any of those videos, they are all good. I especially enjoy his interview with Michael Moore, it actually made me kind of like Mr. Moore.
Good points mostly. I guess it has to come back to, sure there is still disinformation in democracy, but there is more than one side that can give disinformation, so hopefully from all these sides people who do actually care can come to something close to the truth. In almost every other form of government, the there is only one side, that of the government in power. This , of course, assumes that the democracy we are talking about is actually a somew
Clinton didn't do a wonderful job against terrorism. Bush didn't do a wonderful job against terrorism before 9/11. It does seem to me that Clarke seems to have a bit of an agenda, I may be wrong. Doing a quick search on Drudge report....I found these articles...... <a href="http://www.drudgereportarchives.com
The recession started right around the changing between Clinton and Bush....when the dot com bubble burst. I really don't think the president plays a huge role in the economy. He really only does a lot in certain situations. FDR got things done during the depression, that was needed. Otherwise there are just a few times when the president really does a lot to interfere, we get things like Bush's tax cuts. Mostly the economy goes up and down on its
Its a tough situation for both sides......and neither side is really trying to make it better. Does anyone else think the pictures of that guy make him look like Saruman?? I'm not trying to make a serious situation comical, its just an observation I've made.
Jetblackstar, I think what you meant to say was.....if people KNEW they were bad politicians they would be voted out.......don't worry I'll only do what follows once.... Jeers
I had never been to either of those sites. Great stuff! I bookmarked both of them almost right away.
Wow I hate arguing....or love it....I'm not sure. Anyway, it's always fun to watch the progression of these threads. They always morph into the same thing over time. Good stuff.
Saint I can totally see people who are genuinely concerned, but many people when asked why they dislike Bush , their reply is always "Because he's stupid" and will not elaborate....because they can't. Now many people on these boards will actually give reasons, and that I completely respect, what annoys me are the people who really have no reason.
Most conservatives don't agree, respect, or associate with the extreme right-wing, and most liberals don't agree with the extreme left-wing. What I do see is a lot of hatred in the mainstream left. Much of the political campaign this year has been nothing but Bush hate. I think John Kerry's thing a few weeks back when he refused to give an answer to a question because the questioner vote for George Bush is a perfect example. A persons pary affil
I'm more republican than anything else, but I'm quite close to the center. Am I passionately republican? No. I'm passionately whatever my beliefs are. I don't let the party define me, I just tend to go that way because they are most in tune with what I believe. I have many friends who are very democrat. Just because they are Bush haters doesn't make me dislike them. We still get along fine.....we just can't debate politics a lot.
Saint I think the problem with your thinking is that, well.....its flawed. While it's great to think that all Americans would work hard if given the opportunity, we have to look at reality. I'm all for giving aid to those who need it, and those who actually use it well. Unfortunately, just because the opportunity is there doesn't mean that everyone will use it. A large number of people become welfare dependant. They would much rather take the freebi
