Don't you find it odd that only one news station is trustworthy. Isn't it a little far out that if something doesn't agree with your interpretation of something that it is liberal and is can just be written off? Do you find anything unusual that an elected official whom you support for years suddenly becomes liberal when they lose your trust and credibility?

Gore got into Harvard because his father was a prominent U.S. senator. (When George W. Bush got into Yale, his father was a comparative unknown -- a mere congressman, on the verge of losing his first race for Senate. He was a Yale alumnus, but so were a lot of other boys' parents.)

Gore continued his mediocre performance at Harvard, ranking in the bottom fifth of the class for his first two years. In his sophomore year, the Post reports: "Gore's grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush's transcript from Yale."

Gore could not complete either divinity school or law school at Vanderbilt, failing five of the eight classes he took in his three semesters at divinity school. Exactly how many classes do you have to fail to be called dumb, if you're a Democrat?

Meanwhile, the “Dumb Guy” was earning his MBA from Harvard.

They may wear cowboy hats or work on a ranch. They may live in a trailer park or out in the country. Regardless, they are stereotyped.

I believe that because of this, these people who engage in this kind of behavior are cut from precisely the same cloth as racists and bigots.

What say you?

Here is a hint . . . the two guys that were at the forefront of the march to war in Iraq.

President Gerald R. Ford signs a presidential directive giving the Iranian government the opportunity to purchase a US-built nuclear reprocessing facility for extracting plutonium from nuclear reactor fuel. Iran, with support from the US, wants to develop a massive nuclear energy industry that has complete “nuclear fuel cycle” capability so fissile materials can be supplied self-sustaining basis. US companies, chief among them Westinghouse, stands to make $6.4 billion from the sale of six to eight nuclear reactors and parts. The shah has argued that Iran needs a nuclear energy program in order to meet Iran’s growing energy demand. Iran is known to have massive oil and gas reserves, but the shah considers these finite reserves too valuable to be spent satisfying daily energy needs. In a 1975 strategy paper, the Ford administration supported this view saying that “introduction of nuclear power will both provide for the growing needs of Iran’s economy and free remaining oil reserves for export or conversion to petrochemicals.” Top officials in the Ford administration—including Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Chief of Staff Dick Cheney, and Paul Wolfowitz, who is responsible for nonproliferation issues at the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency—are strong supporters of Iran’s ambitions

Choosing this time in our history to censure Turkey over the Armenian genocide that happened in 1915 during WWI RIGHT NOW seems like a trivial event UNTIL you consider this....The Lib cowards in Congress don't have the cajones to just say, "OK let's not fund the Iraq war,"...which they CAN do. But they know that the vast majority of Americans will kick them out of office.

So instead, they dredge up this old controversy and choose NOW to P/O Turkey. 70% of our supplies for the war go through Turkey. Our water supply goes through Turkey. Turkey has already been irritable over the activity of the Kurds on their border with Iraq. Why would any SANE politician want to put our already shaky relationship with Turkey at risk RIGHT NOW, unless their sole purpose was to purposefully want them to break off relationships with us and thus compromise our position in Iraq.

What COWARDS!!

If so, what sources did you use to become informed? Many people I know talk about the war but have little real knowledge of the Middle East and its history with the United States.
