Politics - 31 July 2007

But then fall silent about the Republicans refusing to participate in the Youtube debate? One is a biased media outlet. The other is questions asked by the American people.

Consumer Confidence Hits 6-Year High

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8QNM25O0&show_article=1'

The 2001 and 2003 tax reductions have spurred more than five years of uninterrupted growth. The economy grew at a robust 3.4 percent in the second quarter of 2007. Productivity growth has averaged 2.8 percent since 2001, considerably above the average of each of the past three decades. Since August 2003, our economy has created more than 8.2 million jobs, and the current unemployment rate is a VERY VERY low 4.5 percent, lower than the averages of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Wages have been on the rise, and real after-tax income is up 9.9 percent since President Bush took office, an average of nearly $3,000 per person.

The doctrine that imposes affirmative responsibilities on a broadcaster to provide coverage of issues of public importance that is adequate and fairly reflects differing viewpoints. In fulfilling its fairness doctrine obligations, a broadcaster must provide free time for the presentation of opposing views if a paid sponsor is unavailable and must initiate programming on public issues if no one else seeks to do so.

I have views different from theirs so they block me. This is intolerance and censorship. Does this happen to other conservatives? Are they afraid of hearing the other side? I only block people who use obscenity or who harass me.

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons."

Thats what one Democrat appears to be saying...

Monday, July 30, 2007; 6:26 PM

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Monday that a strongly positive report on progress on Iraq by Army Gen. David Petraeus likely would split Democrats in the House and impede his party's efforts to press for a timetable to end the war.

Many Democrats have anticipated that, at best, Petraeus and U.S. ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker would present a mixed analysis of the success of the current troop surge strategy, given continued violence in Baghdad. But of late there have been signs that the commander of U.S. forces might be preparing something more generally positive. Clyburn said that would be "a real big problem for us."

Hmm, so “good news for the country" = a “problem”?
Exactly who's side are the Democrats on anyhow?

I'm tired of this last ditch smear by Republicans that Democrats "want" America to "lose" anything, except of course for the partisan politics by Republicans that is costing our troops their lives?

Can Republicans win in 2008 when they are running on denying a war fiasco they created, with their eyes wide open and their minds shut,no less? Probably not.

Let's quit pus$y footing around here . If great progress occurs in Iraq , then that spells big trouble for the Democratic Party . I watch Liberal news , I see liberal analysts and politicians admit it all the time . But people on here act as if this is some kind of 'talking point' generated by Fox or Rush !! Bull .

Facts are facts . The 'surge' is going well and hopefully will get even better . And if it does , the Dems will suffer greatly in the 2008 elections .

Agree ?
Or do you think that success in Iraq will help the Democratic Party ? (be prepared to really back-up that notion )

I don't believe for a second that liberals are any less patriotic than conservatives. I thought the Boston Tea Party, which was a protest against the then ruling government, was considered a patriotic act.

I also don't believe there's a democrat in the House or the Senate that wants the US to lose in Iraq, for political or any other reason.

Is it her or do they just hate her because she's Bill's wife?
I mean, she's not uber liberal ( I can think of a few that are more liberal than she is), I actually think she's pretty moderate.
I mean, Obama seems more left leaning than she is yet he doesn't get as much vile as she gets from republicans ( although he gets his share as well..)
Would someone explain it to me?
I'm team Obama but if he weren't running, I'd be Team Hillary all the way...
