I thought he went over the top with his effusive praise of America nd all things American.....

Knowing that Sakorsy is no more than an ambitious politician who wants to be a world leader (laugh) when Bush goes, I just want to vomit.

I am a poor Canadian that grew up watching really moderate somewhat stuffy and very secular Cdn news


I put Fox on and watched the "news"

The girl fidgeted in her seat with emotion as she gave more of an opinion than a fact

The interviews were conducted in such a bias manner that durring a tweo person pannel one was consistanty cut off as the other guy was blatantly approached as some kind of hero - And this formula is repettitive throughout the show


Wow what an overly bias sounding cult broadcast of hidden religious dogma's mixed with opinionated twists to every fact

The list just goes on at first I thought I was watching some spoof comedy show

Who believes this "stuff" or thinks of it as news ? How many of them are there that don't realise as entertaining as it may be it is pure cultish emotion and at best a /political religous satire

Boy did we shoot our future paychecks on this war...Thank you President Bush! Did anyone ever believe the Iraqis would develop any kind of lasting affection for the U.S. for our liberating them from tyranny and introducting them to Democracy, a Western way they still seem to struggle understanding?

With oil now at the $100 a barrel mark, was this the future we bought into?

Whoever said we got into this war for access to cheap oil...was totally wrong.

Speak up Economists. How do we get out of this Quagmire?

... like so many blame Clinton for 9/11?

2007-11-07 10:20:37 · 15 answers · asked by specal k 5

Do people know that more terrorism attacks were made and created bigger problems if combined overall when Clinton was president than Bush's 8 years in office? The Clinton campaign just chose not to act upon it and it eventually led to 9/11? And that the terrorist said that they will end all the terrorism if everyone accept Allah and convert to become Muslims? Why is it that political candidates are quite enthusiastic when they're explaining their plan about ending the war when they should be educating Americans about what's really going on giving us enough evidence and reason to create real opinions? I don't want subjective responses, so don't go off on what you think about Bush.

=======================
First of all, Republicans in congress are on record saying it would tank.

NOW SOME FACTS

1) Here are the percent increase in inflation adjusted GDP for various presidents:

FDR 177.51% (from 32' to 45')
FDR 88.14% (from 32' to 41', without WWII)
JFK/LBJ 46.00%
CLINTON 33.81%
REAGAN 30.63%
BUSH JR 16.55% (from 00' to 06')

DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE:
Jan 4, 1993 = 3,309
Jan 4, 2001 = 10,912
Right Now = 13,300

I DON'T SEE HOW THE ECONOMY "DOUBLED" UNDER BUSH JR.

having to deal with each inevitable major mess(es) that come up every month?

terrorists, oil, dictators, civil wars, ethnic wars, tribal wars, religious wars, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Iran's nukes, & the list goes on & on.

The only time the Mideast ever had any relative peace was when the Otttoman Empire conquered & ruled the entire Mideast. Maybe the Mideast can't handle Democracy but they sure do no how to be ruled with an iron fist (e.g. Ottomans & Saddam)

So rather than trying to put out every little fire that springs up all over the "forest" (Mideast) why not have the US/Israel cut down (conquer) the entire "forest" so that no fires can get started in the first place? Or does that just make to much sense to be tried?

I've heard everything from "we'll be reading the Koran by christmas" to "she'll convert America to communism".

The con record of correctly predicting outcomes is quite pathetic.

- The economy did not tank after the 1993 Clinton/Dem bill. It grew every single month Clinton was president.
- The iraqis didn't welcome as liberators.
- The war did not pay for itself.
- The Mission was not Accomplished.
- Iraq did not have a new WMD program
- The insurgency was not in it's death troes.
- The insurgency did not die down after the elections.
- The insurgency did not die down after Saddam was captured.
and
- The insurgency did not die down after Saddam was executed.

It seems to me that the people who disagree with liberals think that we (yes, I'm very liberal) tend to think that liberal = no morals.

I don't think that's true. I consider myself, and a lot of liberals to be free thinkers, people who look at all perspectives of issues, people who try to promote equality, goodness, democracy, free speech, that everyone's voices are heard, and that people are educated on ALL perspectives. How is that a bad thing?

Look at this quote for what Caesar did to the citizens of Rome;

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." (Julius Caesar)

Any similarities between te two???

Despite a general begrudging acceptance amongst a large swathe of the corporate media that Ron Paul is a real contender for the Republican nomination following the hugely successful November 5th "money bomb" campaign, a CBS News op-ed piece today labels the Texas Congressman a "meaningless" "fruitcake" with "no chance" of winning.

The article is entitled Ron Paul, Fruitcake and its writer, Kevin Drum, attempts to make the point that anyone who even expresses an interest in the Congressman's campaign is a "political infant" who needs to "grow up".

Here's the link to the article , if you wish to read it - http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/06/politics/animal/main3459836.shtml
