Majority whip, minority whip. Supported racist Strom Thrumond. Voted against impeachment of Nixon, voted for impeachment of Clinton. Does this man really represent Mississippi?

Are we obligated? How? Why does it have to be our responsibility to help them and not, say, China's?

Bush is in Vietnem now and is acting like he is an expert on their country, but he was too cowardice to go to Vietnem during the war.

He had his daddy keep him from going over there.

Just who does he think he is fooling?

Some of you may not even know he was even a President, and most of you probably only have a vague idea of his policies from History class. However, he was President during an extraordinary, technological revolution that drove the US economy to incredible heights, the largest economic boom in US History. Americans were living the good life and reaping the economic benefits of the "Roaring Twenties." The stock market was high, everyone had a good job making great money, and was becoming wealthy. However, today no one attributes the economic growth of the 1920s to Calvin Coolidge. Most experts say this was just part of an econmic cycle. In fact, the same exact economic pattern occurred 70 years later during another technological revolution. Why then do many people attribute the economic boom on the 1990s to Bill Clinton? Do you think in 60 years Americans will still feel the same way about Clinton, or will people in their 20s then, only have a vague idea Clinton was even a US President?

"The lardiest highway bill of all time, including a $223m bridge connecting the Alaskan town of Ketchikan to an island with a population of 50." - Ted Stevens - R

"In the end, though, Mr Bush made the response to Katrina a federal responsibility, and the federal government botched it. The rescue effort was ill co-ordinated. Billions of relief dollars were wasted. The Department of Homeland Security's inspector-general noted, for example, that $900m was splurged on 26,000 mobile homes for evacuees, when regulations forbid the use of such homes on flood plains, so 11,000 of them were left “sinking in the mud” in Arkansas."

"When Congress passed a grotesque package of farm subsidies in 2002 and Mr Bush signed it, many Republicans were convinced that it was the lesser of two evils. If they failed to support uneconomic farms, they figured, they might lose crucial Midwestern votes and hand power back to the Democrats."
Etc.

US citizens have shown adamant they want their christmas holidays to reflect christian traditions and department stores have responded... do you agree Christmas Holiday should be celebrated for Christians only... or should they allow other religious groups to take part in the celebration..without addressing it as a christian holiday?

So he wants to COME HOME, but is in Fort Lewis and recieving care packages while in fort lewis. As well as a true "2nd" Battalion would NEVER sign off as 2d Battalion.

This guy should be shot and will probably hear from the military since I sent this to a friend in the Pentagon too. This is the most discracfull thing I have ever seen.

Why has everyone forgotten what happened on 911? Why does everyone hate Bush? Why isn't there anyone supporting the troops? Is there really not many people standing behind these things or are the left-winged, sqare-headed, democrats louder than the conservative republicans? Why is it that no-one remembers what it was like on 911 to see terrorist for no reason excpet hate fly planes into building killing innocent americans? If it was your father, mother, sister, brother, child, friend would you have forgotten already? I think all Bush is trying to do is show the terrorist they can't win-they can't win and if they want to attack us we're going to fight. You hear all these nagative stories and reports on the news;that is COMPLETELY different from what I'm hearing from men I know in Iraq. They tell about Iraq citizens handing out flowers and cards, standing on the sides of the streets waving and even invititing them to dinner in their HOMES-Never heard that on the news, did you?

In order so that one person out of 1000 does not get offended we now must say happy holidays and a christmas tree is now a holiday tree. When it is not PC to publish Mohammed pics in the paper, when that happens to be the current news story, yet the NY times publishes a pic of the virgin mary covered in pee instead to exemplify the controversy of religious figures being portrayed in a negative light through "art".
When did it become taboo to not be politically correct?
Aren't we all adults? When did the whole world become a kindergarden class where we can't say anything that might hurt someone else's feelings? And if we do we are labeled insensative?
I don't care if you're liberal or conservative this is insanity! Western societies are choking themselves to death with political correctness. When will this stop? Who is going to stop it?
