Politics - 6 October 2006

Are you excited that it is less horrible than expected? IS this the best we can hope for from the republicans?

(by fanatical, i mean, just the radical ones) say that the foley incident was fake, and that it is a republican scheme to get the homosexual vote? Some of them are crazy enough to say that, like hilary and Rosie.

I keep reading answers on here about about "socialists" and "socialist thinking" and "socialist governments". Can we all agree that we live in a country with a mix of capitalism and socialism? If you don't believe me, ask someone who is getting social security or food stamps or federally guaranteed student loans. People keep throwing it around like a curse word. Honestly, we should be glad for socialism because ever since FDR, no more great depressions.

Bonus points for anyone who can accurately identify what fascism is.

As reported by Andrew Taylor of the AP, the just completed federal budget estimate for the fiscal year dropped to $250 billion, congressional estimators said , as the economy continues to fuel impressive tax revenues.
This is well below a July White House prediction of $296 billion.
Bush predicted a $423 billion deficit in his February budget. The improving deficit picture has been driven by better-than-expected tax receipts, especially from corporate profits, Congressional Budget Office said.

This is good news!!! Why do I keep hearing from liberals that the economy is in the tank? Bush tax cuts are working. Face the truth liberals.

Eleven House Republicans on Thursday told Democratic leaders they want them to appear before the House Ethics Committee to answer questions about what they may have known -- and failed to disclose -- about former Rep. Mark Foley's communications with congressional pages.

Led by Rep. Jack Kingston (Ga.), vice chairman of the House Republican Conference, the group sent letters to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) and Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean. The Republicans say Democrats shouldn't be absolved from answering questions about the scandal, especially in light of suspicions that the crisis was orchestrated as a political move to harm Republicans.

Just as it must be determined whether any Republican Members or political operatives were aware of and attempted to conceal Mr. Foley’s activities, it must also be determined whether any Democrat Members

A teacher of mine played Billy Joel's song "We didn't start the fire", then he gave us the lyrics and we had to find on our own, information on each of the events Billy Joel mentions. Would you agree that would be a good political and historic curriculum for a History class?

Nowadays all cops do is give out tickets, taser innocent citizens and protect rich people from getting robbed of their mansions. Lets face facts, all police do is stop poor people from robbing rich people of their money. Why does anybody have respect for cops? Rich people got their money from screwing poor people anyways. All cops do is protect the rich people in their gated communities.

Republicans and talk show radio hosts have been warning of what will happen if Pelois becomes Speaker of the House. Well, out of her own mouth she has justified their fears.

"Raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour, maybe in one step."

"Bush-era tax cuts would have to be rolled back for those above "a certain level."

"We must share the benefits of our wealth" beyond the privileged few, she added."

More bigger government, higher cost of living, hurt economic growth. Yeh, that sounds like a great idea. She'll probably increase the welfare rolls too.

Frist: Taliban Should Be in Afghan Gov't
JIM KRANE / AP | October 3 2006

-U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Monday that the Afghan war against Taliban guerrillas can never be won militarily and called for efforts to bring the Islamic militia and its supporters into the Afghan government.

**I thought the "Afghan War" ended in 2001. Now in 2006 theres still 20,000 American soldiers over there and the Republican Senate majority leader says theres no way we win. Why is he doing this now?

Was that an accident, or were they misinformed about his pary affiliation? I mean, I can't believe that a 'fair and balanced' news program would PURPOSEFULLY claim that Foley was a democrat, or would they?

America has failed to secure security in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its economy is beginning to slow and with the ever increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions are we reaching a global shift in power just like we had at the end of the Victorian empire in the when England was the global power? Sure America still has might but it commands far less power than it used to
