After condemming the Iranian terror groups some members want a take back and composed a letter to the president telling him what they meant. That is why we have votes in congress. Another prime example of lack of leadership. Who can support losers like them in the future??

when he basically waterboarded Mary Jo Kopechne to death at Chappaquiddock?

Yes, it may have been an accident when he ran the car off the bridge, but it wasn't an accident when he left the scene.

If he is so morally outraged by this sort of behavior, why doesn't he resign his Senate seat?

Don't worry. I'm not holding my breath. It didn't do Mary Jo any good. I'm sure it won't do me any good either.

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine who works a blue collar job, when he mentioned that he has to take a pre-employment urine test to screen for drugs. In a discussion on welfare he questioned why welfare applicants aren't screened for drugs. He laid out his logic in that if he has to pass a drug screen in order to earn a paycheck, why aren't others? Especially those who aren't earning there income per say, but could potentially be using tax payer fund to purchase drugs.


If a resolution were passed we could see a possible decline in two areas of concern. A required drug screening could lead to a decline in drug use, also denying those who fail a drug screening could lead to lower welfare costs.

The problem I forsee is funding for the drug screening, which could be very costly and may outweigh the benefits.

What are your thoughts?

Since Bush has taken over, not one single month job creation has even come clsoe to job loss, but tis touted as brimming success. Since only people are counted jobless for a couple of month, the majority of jobless people, growing now to 14%, is not mentioned in offfical statements. Other countries do it, why not the USA?

The man is wanted for his part in war crimes, yet he avoids justice like the plague.

Wouldn't rumsfeld feel much better if he would just turn himself in, and then he won't have to flee from justice any longer?

If you support the Zionist State of Israel would you support an idea of giving up a chunk of land here in America so Israel can relocate and reestablish itself here in America? This way the Palestinians could have their occupied lands back and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict brought to an end after decades? Or do you support Israel but don't want them next to us because Zionists and AIPAC are known to influence our American government into waging wars on behalf of the Zionists and the idea of them closer to us means more trouble?

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said. "In the early 1900s, the world ignored the words of Lenin, as he laid out his plans to launch a Communist revolution in Russia — and the world paid a terrible price.

“In the 1920s, the world ignored the words of Hitler, as he explained his intention to build an Aryan super-state in Germany, take revenge on Europe, and eradicate the Jews — and the world paid a terrible price," Bush continued. "Bin Laden and his terrorist allies have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler before them. And the question is: Will we listen?"

honestly i am no fan of hillary. But for Bush to make some analogy to Hillary- Lenon - Hitler is absurd.

every time I hear Bush talk- it is PROJECTION. Apparently the bushcons are not too bright. they fall for it every time...anyting. Anything he says, HE IS HE ONE HE IS TALKING ABOUT! hahaa

The Democrats keep saying that they are the candidates for the working people and the poor.

Oh really?

As of 2 yrs ago Senator Kerry was the richest man in the Senate? Together he and his wife have a net worth of about 3/4 of a billion dollars, which is 6-7 times the net worth of the next wealthiest Senator.

And, by the way, the second richest Senator was also a Democrat (Herb Kohl, D-Wisconsin),

And so was the third richest Senator (John Rockefeller, D -West Virginia),

And so was the fourth richest Senator (Jon Corzine, D-New Jersey),

And so was the fifth richest Senator (Dianne Feinstein, D-California).

Not only that but the combined wealth of those five Democrat Senators is greater than the wealth of all the remaining 95 Senators combined. Also 9 0f the 12 wealthiest Senators are Democrats.

Now let's hear again that it is the Democrat Party is the party of the working man and the poor and the Republican Party is the party of the rich. Rediculous!!!!!!

I was getting my daily dose of comedy and good chuckles when I heard 'Loose-lips' O'Reilly saying this with serious conviction:
'Rosie O'Donnell's comments harm the nation.'

O'Reilly has really elevated this silly woman to a very important position with his perverted obsession with her. Who really cares what Rosie says? (Except Fox News = O'Reilly and Hannity?)
Oh well, I suppose he has to say things like this to stay at the top of the dung.heap, doesn't he?

Think about it, its not free enterprise. Too subsudize only certain ones or companies is a artificial control. That is not free market economics. Subsudies should be banned and the free market will let the best competitors rise too the top.
