the hypothesis is backed up by no experimental data, right now, it is nothing more than just that: a hypothesis.

do the conservatives on here who keep copying and pasting his speech word for word (about ocean salinity causing the warming) actually know this, or have they just been in a such a rush to find some scientist who supports their cause that they don't care much whether or not the claim actually has any scientific credibility?

About the same percentage of Democratic women support her, at least those who vote. This week is her pandering for Democratic women week. She plans to spend some time in the future courting the Republican women.

What can she offer us that will change our minds and make us want to vote for her? Any ideas out there?

I can't think of anything.

Gen. Abizaid on Iraq War: "Of Course It's About Oil"
A former top US general has admitted the war in Iraq was about oil. Former CENTCOM Commander General John Abizaid told an audience at Stanford University “Of course it's about oil, we can't really deny that." At the same forum Thomas Friendman said “We've treated the Arab world as a collection of big gas stations. Our message to them is: Guys, keep your pumps open, prices low, be nice to the Israelis and you can do whatever you want out back." General Abizaid's comment comes one month after former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan wrote that “the Iraq War is largely about oil."

A personal friend of President Bush secured an oil deal with the Kurdish regional government in Iraq. The Texas-based company Hunt Oil signed the deal in September. Hunt CEO Ray Hunt has been a key Republican fundraiser. He sits on the board of directors for Halliburton and was appointed to the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board by President Bush.

Clue: It is entertainment for the reactionary victim in the first place. It's most noted figure, Rush Limbaugh, is a drug-addled multiple -divorcee.

Hence the "moral values" and "strong on terror" overcompensating fibs.

At least this the response neo-cons gave me? With this logic, only terrorists should care about the US Constitution. Are they right?

Dems never fail to run from a fight with Bush. I think this is laughable to see them talk tough on TV then run and hide form the big bad Bush.

Just how spineless are the DNC and the Dem reps as a whole?

This one has to go into the record books as a CLASSIC.

Air America reported that one of their very own nationally know correspondents, Randi Rhodes, had been mugged on a public street. To exacerbate this story, left-wing kook and fellow Air America corresponded Jon Elliott raged on and on about this mugging, pontificating that it was carried out by (wait for it) agents of Conservatives who were desperately trying to silence the voice of reason on Air America. Yes, Jon Elliott went on and on about this being a vast right-wing conspiracy to silence Air America.

Guess What? It turns out that Randi Rhodes had been out, walking her dog, AND SHE TRIPPED OVER HER OWN BIG FEET AND FELL ON THE SIDEWALK! That's right folks; no muggers; no vast righ wing conspiracy; no conservative assailants lurking in the shadows trying to still this voice in the wilderness, just another loopy liberal who can't walk and chew gum at the same time and a conspiracy kook tilting at windmills.
