Politics & Government - 3 August 2007

You may recall, they tried to steal the 2000 Presidential election and then got very testy when they failed to bypass the Constitution. Now, they are stealing votes in Congress. Apparently, they changed the House rules to NOT allow keeping a bill open, then when Republicans won a vote, they opened the voting back up until they could get enough votes! Will Democrats EVER produce the ethical Congress they promised????????

The Pentagon has cameras everywhere. The explosion at the pentagon on 9-11 has been shown, but they [the US gov] start the footage just after the impact. We never see exactly what hit the Pentagon. They could show us exactly what hit the pentagon, but they don't. Why doesn't the gov show us what hit the Pentagon? Don't we have the right to know?

A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.

The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and got out twenty dollars. He kept 15 for administrative fees and gave the homeless person five.

*the holocaust was an "evil hoax"

*"I'd never say this on camera, the Jews have been thrown out of every country including England. It's not just persecution. There's no smoke without fire." It also featured footage of visitors to the party's annual "Red White and Blue" festival, some of whom wore the legend "88" (code for HH, "Heil Hitler")

*Hitler salutes at a white-supremacist cross-burning ceremony where intensely racist songs were sung and jokes made about Auschwitz

*described homosexuals as "AIDS Monkeys", "bum bandits" and "faggots" and said the idea of homosexuality was a "sickening thought"

*has served eight months in prison for sending razor blades in the post to Jewish people and another term for carrying CS gas and knuckledusters

For taxpayers to have to pay for their operations and estrogen! I think this is getting out of hand and a lot of judges today aren't worth a a nickel. Example: that judge that was going to sue a dry cleaner 67 million dollars over his pants! Think of all the money that was used just for that case to get thrown out!

I hear a lot in the news regarding the poor judgment of judges now. Some being downright horrible! Now, keep in mind, I am not saying all judges are bad. But this one about wanting taxpayers to pay for sex changes for the inmates in prison seems too far. Why should, in this case, residents of Idaho have to pay this? I find it wrong, it is showing prisoners having more rights and privileges than that of the free people. I am sure people who choose to do this would want their changes to be paid for, at least they are not criminals in prison. What you think about judges today and having your taxes go towards now inmate sex changes?

Follow the logic.

He cannot declare a win and walk away. If the country erupts into civil war it is a failure.

He cannot realistically think that he will completely quell the situation before he is out of office.

What's left? Stay the course!

If the next President pulls the troops out and civil war overwhelms the country. It is a see I told you so situation.

If the next President stays the course and succeeds. It becomes a situation of "I laid the groundwork with my leadership and dedication".

Therefore in my opinion and it is only my opinion mind you. The any chance for him to secure his legacy for the history books is to keep the troops in place until the end of his term by anys means necessary.

Thoughts anyone?
