It seems all political discussions these days involve people on the extreme right and left calling each other traitors and liars. Don't we remember that the greatest things this country has accomplished were products of libs and conservs working together and reaching a compromise? Why is everything so polarized now?? 911??

Is there a public bureau that tracks this sort of information (other than the IRS). Curious.

CNN, MSNBC, Fox - they all claim to be impartial.

So why is our opinion, an opinion shared by millions of Americans, never represented?

For you Bush believers with Religious convictions, surely only God and the Pope enjoy infallibility

Do they mean we turn the other cheek?

Does the US love its enemies?

Are the meek given all the power?

Do we value the peacemakers?

Do we hunger and thirst for justice?

Are we merciful?

Well, what does it mean?

the bankruptcy of Air America?

To my fellow conservatives, I say don't get too upset about the lunacy you read on this site. These people need somewhere to rant and post their wild conspiracy theories. And they are certainly a small minority.... which is why that ridculous radio network is auctioning off their equipment this week. lol
To the Air America fans (all 7 of you): thanks for the comedy!

The reason that I ask is that:

I saw one post something about Bush wasn't allowed to send IUD's to Iraq. I didn't know that birth control was an issue with the Iraqis.

I saw two claim that terrorist that allegedly flew flight 77 into the Pentagon had turned off the transponder and therefore made the jet invisible to radar. If that was true, we wouldn't need the technology involved in the stealth bomber to make it invisible, we could just turn off the transponder.

George said today that even if he can't prove it, he knows that Iran's govt. is supplying arms to the Iraqis. That's a direct contradiction of of the 16 spy agencies of the US. So, Godd MUST have talked to George! How can warmongers refute that ?

I like Mitt Romney, although I support Guiliani right now this guy is pretty impressive.

Do you think that him being Mormon will effect his chances?
Id do it.

I believe these people are hidden from the public eye and use Religion, Television, and your Fears as a control mechanism. I dont believe Your voice really matters and that the entire election process is staged. They decide who is the figurehead NOT YOU. You do what they tell you to do, you buy what they tell you to buy through TV, and you look like they want you to look... through Celebrities, or you strive to look like them. YOUR ALL SHEEP. BAAAAAHH BAAAAAHH BAAAAHHH!!
