while the Neocon agenda lumbers on, fiscal conservatives, contructionists, federalists.. meat and potato republicans wonder what happened to their party ?
I know this wasn't what you expected... how will you reassemble your party in the wake of The BushCo. ? how do you come back with any credibility from this Hijack ?

Also before the Dunder heads start heckling.. you are not conservatives ..you have sided with reckless war profiteers that victimize you along side the rest of your fellow Americans so save us all the lip service by saying something new. Or better still just shut up for once..

you know, in light of this innapropriate behavior by the congressman and him emailing sexually explicit and innapropriate things to those pages, since when did it become a democrat or republican problem.? this has nothing to do with politics and he should not be dealt with as a politician. he(allegedly) is a sick man like so many others who pray on young children to fullfill their sick sexual fantasies. he should be dealt with as a pedophile and go to prison. even though these charges are alleged, you have to wonder why someone would all of the sudden just quit their job. if you were innocent of the charges, why would you not want to fight to preserve your good name. this leads me to beleive that he knew he was guilty and quickly took the easy way out. if found to be true he should be imprisoned and made to apologize publicly infront of congress. what is america coming to?

And can you name some horribly hypocritical things that these people have done in their personal lives that does not match their politics.

For instance, Al Franken graduated with honors from Harvard, has been married to the SAME woman for over 20 years.
What 'disgraceful' immoral things has Michael Moore done in his personal life that you know about like we know about Rush?

Don't the conservatives have a plan? Are they admitiing it needs a plan? Are they saying that it will definitely not be resolved in the next two years? I'm getting nervous that they are out of ideas, and are turning to the libs to help them out...

I think there should be an investigation, but the subject of it should not be the Republican leadership which—like the newspaper which had the comparatively mild emails between Foley and a former page — could not investigate further because the parents of the 16 year old who had initiated the correspondence wanted to protect his privacy. These emails, which led to a warning to pages to keep a certain distance from Foley, were of a far different character than the explicit IM messages, which were only revealed to the House leadership after appearing in the press.

Once the House leadership was appraised of the incriminating messages, Foley was in effect cashiered out.

The important matter requiring investigation is how a recently-created anonymous blogger got the email correspondence which the boy’s parents had insisted be kept quiet. And how the blog site, which had virtually no posts and no traffic suddenly caught the attention of Foley’s opponent

Why, out of one side of his mouth, does Bush romance the people of Iran, by telling them how much he loves them, then out of the other side has been carrying on covert operations there since January, has already identified thousands of bombing targets, has already imposed a Naval blockade and is already cooking up fake intelligence reports? Deja Vu?

The reptilain brain can and does take over for us when we are in danger or fearful It completely takes over from the higher functions overides reason and logic etc.

Now that we have been told about an enemy we can't see for so long is that "stress" taking away our ability to reason and use logic?

Some people seem to think that Bush is full of bull cookies but whenever they speak the crowd shouts slogans and yells coward etc.

Is this because the reptilian section of our brain is so over stimulated we can't see a draft dodger is in charge of the military and a college flunkyis trying to interpret world events ?

Many here and in other forums (radio, tv, etc.) seem to compare current political leaders to Adolf Hitler. Do these comparisons cheapen the horror of what Nazi Germany actually did to millions of people? Is there, realistically, any current world leader who even merits being mentioned in the same breath with Hitler? If you think so, please explain why, based on actual events...not crystal ball statements like "If that country gets weapons of mass destruction, then bad things will happen..."

The way they have been behaving over the last 40 years is absolutely despicable. I'm glad I am an atheist and if i were Catholic I would hang my head in shame.

Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. No connection to Bin Laden. And he had nothing to do with 9/11. He was put into power, supplied weapons and backed by the US. And, while he commited his worse crimes against humanity he was actively defended by the USA - so why the hypocrisy?.
