Politics & Government - 10 January 2007

The Republican leadership has gotten away from what makes a Republican(smaller govn't, lower taxes, property rights,ect.)and is almost indistinguishable from the left. Bush has done nothing except rubber stamp every bill placed before him.

I know this is a touchy subject and I know this could be answered many times over. if it isn't allowed I will retract this question.

I'm wondering what older generation Russins that were in the military when Russia went against Iraq think of what the USA is doing. I know from History lessons that Russia was there for 10 years fighting. I'm not sure what country exactly they fought. I'd like to know if you are laughing at the USA which thinks they can change things there, or do you think they are just in their cause or fighting a loosing battle. I'm doing this to broden my knowledge of History and thought this is a great opportunity to hear from others that had been involved in kinda the same thing as the USA is going through now.
My thought was USA doesn't belong there.

Tony Blair always stood by the U.S. even when Bush screwed everything up. He's leaving this year. Do you think we will lose our best ally?

Bush graduated Yale with a C average, (The only way he got into Yale was as a 'Legacy admissiion, meaning his daddy went there.) He then went on the Harvard business where his grades are unknown. It is not known how Bush got into HBS, but one can assume the Bush family had everything to do with it. They couldn;t have been vary good, as he failed at every business in oil he tried. Daddy finally got him a piece of the baseball team, and he didn't screw up.

Kerry got into Yale on his own. His grades are not known, but he did get into Boston College Law School on his own.
, so his GPA must have been excellent. He graduated BCLS and became a top prosecutor in Middlesex county. He put away sevral extremely high profile criminals. His daddy did not do that for him.

BTW- A lot of wingnuts keep posting how rich Kerry is. His WIFE is extremely rich, and you can be sure there is a pre-nup. Kerry has been in publc service all his life, a field that rarely allows one to become incredibly rich, as

The United States has responded to the Islamic terrorists' threats - no debate there.

There have been many mistakes and miscalculations - again, no debate there.

We have no precedent to refer to for facts or history in a war against an ideology. There can be no expert opinions or advice based on past examples - there are no past examples. This is new terortory.

FACTS: The Islamic radicals now know that killing innocent men, women and children - unlike in the past - will not be without serious consequences.
Saddam is gone and a fledging democratic government has been established. The Iraqi people have voted in a free election.

My question is simple - what exactly and how can I expect the liberal mindset in this country to respond to the threat of terror in the future if they allow us to fail with our present policies?

Don't bother telling me that Bush is a lier, we don't belong in Iraq, etc...That's all in the past. I'm directing this question to now and in the future

If Saddam is an evil, so what about Bush? An angel? Give me a break, Bush caused thousands of civilians died in 4 years, more than Saddam in 30 years.

Lets take count on Afghanistan and Iraq casualties, and compare to Kuwait and Iran did by Saddam.

Bush is the winner.

Or it is just another example of hysterical right-wingers who still don't understand what a failure Bush has been.

GRETCHEN CARLSON: You talk about the hostile enemy, obviously being Iraq, but hostile enemies right here on the home front. Yesterday Senator Ted Kennedy, proposing that any kind of a troop surge should mean there should be congressional approval of that. A lot of democrats not coming to his side on this. But obviously this is not going to be an easy sell on Capitol Hill, even if it’s not an easy sell to the American Public.

BARTLETT: We don’t view Ted Kennedy as hostile enemy but we do view him to be an open and often critic of the war. He has been from the outset. I don’t think that’s anything new.
