I know she hasn't technically done anything illegal, but apparently that doesn't matter anymore. We should impeach her because we don't like her, which is the most they can say for Bush.

And remember, she DID vote to send troops to Iraq. If we impeach Bush, we have to impeach EVERY person in Congress who voted for the war!

Kick the
Krap out of
Klinton!!!

A guy walks into a coffee shop and sees President Bush and Colin Powell sitting together. He introduces himself and asks President Bush, "How goes the War effort, Sir?"

President Bush answers, "We're getting ready to kill 40 million Iraqi's and one blonde."

The guy asks in astonishment, "Why are you killing one blonde?"

President Bush turns to Colin Powell and says, "See, I told you people wouldn't care about the Iraqi's."

Big business has brought all these foreigners in to avoid paying taxes, pay a decent wage to us, and benefits. They have successfully bought up all the small companies and divided them up and sold them off. Like SBC when AT and T just bought them up? Small means smaller than, because the little guy cant even own a bar without being a TGI Fridays, or a Bennigans, or Beni Hana's With the Republicans it is a fact they are arm and arm with big business. Especially this administration, Oil, Munitions, Guns, Nukes. Are any of you seriously considering voting Republican? Don't you have ideas that you would like to have your own business? Do you think you have a chance? And if so how many others will be that lucky if you vote Republican?

I see a lot of Griping about both liberals, conservatives, Democrats, Republicans and I am curious, SInce both sides seem to complain so much about the other side. How many of you that are of voting age have actually voted in every election that you have been eligible to vote in? and I am not just talking Presidential, but off year, state, local etc. Be Honest. I am almost 45 and have only missed 1 opportunity to vote. So I have a right to voice my opinion, and in my opinion if you do not exercise your right to vote, you forfeit your right to complain about the system. So lets see the numbers of you and who has the courage to be honest!!!

Just curious, because I keep seeing posts that say that liberals are the ones wanting a change of course in Iraq and that liberals are the ones not supporting the President. Last poll I saw said 28% of Americans are happy with the job Bush is doing and feel the country is headed in the right direction. Who are all these people pretending to be liberals?

The myth persists in some media circles that the Federal budget deficiency is surging or ballooning or something terrible, all of which is served up as ammunition for those in Congress who want a tax increase.''
As an aside, I make a parenthetical statement and say we are now a little over 1,400 days away from a very, very large tax increase that will happen unless Congress takes action.
``At the risk of being drummed out of the guild, we thought you'd rather have the real story.
``The deficit has in fact declined by some $165 billion over the last 2 fiscal years, and according to the most recent data has continued to fall in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The latest Treasury estimates for January show that tax receipts in December were $18 billion higher than a year earlier, helping to boost the budget surplus for the month to $40 billion, up from $11 billion a year ago. December is typically a good month for revenues due to year-end tax payments.
``Meanwhile, for the first 3 months of fiscal 2007 through December, revenues climbed 8.1 percent, building on double-digit revenue increases in the previous 2 years. Corporate income taxes were up a remarkable 22.2 percent in the first fiscal quarter, showing that the government continues to grab a nice chunk of rising business profits that so many of our politicians like to deplore. Individual income taxes rose 8.8 percent, thanks to strong wage and salary growth. Much of this revenue comes from `the rich,' believe it or not.
``In the most surprising budget news, Federal spending was nearly flat in the first fiscal quarter. This was despite a 22.1 percent increase in Medicare spending due largely to the new prescription drug benefit, and a 10.7 percent increase in defense spending. Those increases were offset by lower spending for flood insurance and disaster assistance compared with the peaks of post-Katrina payments a year ago. So the first quarter deficit was $85 billion, down sharply from $119 billion a year earlier.
``All in all, despite huge outlays for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Nation's fiscal picture is brightening. We hate to ruin the press corps's day with such cheerful news, but there it is.''

While out to eat my son was acting crazy. I took him outside,put him in TIME OUT. Facing the wall. He'd turn around,Id turn him back,on and on. 3 people were outside watching. One lady came out her store obnoxiously accusing me of abusing him. I told her to mind her business,he's in time out,while other kids out there are being abused she's worrying about my kid facing the wall. She said she was calling the cops(they never came)I said,call but he's staying in time out. And I kept him in time out. The 3 people said I wasnt abusing him,he was in time out,period. Had the police shown up,what wouldve happened? Would the have taken her word just to be safe and take my son away? Though I knew I was in the right,its scary because the law takes abuse seriously.

I know of a guy who shot his father over the weekend, was charged with the following: first-degree assault, a class B felony, wanton endangerment, and a class D felony, yet is apparantly NOT in jail (and was even back to work yesterday)! How can that be? Could his dad have dropped the charges? Or do there HAVE to be charges in a shooting?

The Liberial left and it's puppets in Senate, Congress and Hollywood are attacking the Religon and Morals of what this country was founded on. You can see it in the laws that are passed and in the TV and Movies that we watch. No one is guilty of any crime they say they were persecuted by the system. Marriage and Herto-Sexuality is being labled as a thing of the past. Being gay is cool and hip. Even on the Billboards on the street that target young adults you see 2 women and 1 man forcing the subliminal menage-a -trois. You can't disipline your children you must send them to time out. Well weve seen what 20 years of liberlisim has done for us! Athieism, Crime and Drug Addiction is at the all time high. Why do you ask? Well the liberal parents were to lazy or to scared to make a stand with their children. The same goes with our Country some tough choices have to be made and once a decsion is made stick with it. If you don't I guess we need to learn a different language.

I find it amazing that less than a quarter of us vote in an average election. Most of our marriages end in divorce. We can't keep right except to pass on the interstate. We refuse to use our turn signal. We can't clean our kitchens when they get dirty. We eat the wrong foods. Smoke. Drink. Lie and stay home from work when we aren't sick. We have on average $8000 in credit card debt. Shall I continue? Yet half of us call our President an idiot. Believe somehow we could do a better job. Believe nothing will ever change and yet preach that if only things changed it would be better. My point is this, does the average American have the right to criticize our leaders, government, policies, etc. when they can't even manage their own life properly?

Shouldn't we just seek out conservatives and consol them, put our arm on their shoulder, say "there there", admitting you were wrong is the first step in recovery. Don't they deserve our pity? They fell for the lies when the rest of us saw right through them. They feel stupid right about now and are finding it hard to admit they were duped. Should we give them a break and promise not to ridicule their sheep-like behavior? C'mon, lets give them a chance to repent without derision. What do you think?
