"To attain all this (universal republicanism), however, rivers of blood must yet flow, and years of desolation pass over; yet the object is worth rivers of blood, and years of desolation."

I don't necessarily endorse it, just interested in others' views. Thank you.

One of the President's 3 brothers (Jeb) was governor of Florida during the 2000 election - the state that votes for Al Gore are still unaccounted for.

George Bush won the 2000 election having only 47.9% of the popular vote and the 2004 election by a mere 51.6%

Bush's cousin, John P. Ellis, was the Fox News Election Team Manager when the network reversed their call for Florida in 2000. He had been on the phone all night with his cousins, Jeb and George.

From 1993 to 2000, another one of the President's 3 brothers, Marvin P. Bush was on the board of directors for Securacom, the company that takes care of security for both United Airlines AND The World Trade Center. Securacom is backed by the Kuwait American Company - an foreign investment firm.

Bush's cousin Marvin currently serves as an advisor to HCC Insurance Holdings which sells millions of dollars worth of "terrorism insurance".

In 2006, George W. Bush's Newsweek rating dropped below that of Richard Nixon's lowest.

Would you be willing to pay more in taxes to fund public orphanages for all of the attendant unwanted children? If not, are you willing to concede that you will eventually be forced to pay more in taxes anyway in order to incarcerate those unwanted children from poor backgrounds who, without a stable, loving family to support them, will almost certainly turn to crime? If so, can you admit that you would rather pay money to have human beings enslaved in cages like animals?

Must be because they hate conservatism, and everything the US stands for.. liberty, defending the country, defending the unborn, allowing the people to make their own choices, free market, capitalism. they rather have everything dictated to them on how to live their life and not have to work for it.

...Perhaps Bush's LAST ally in the pointless, fruitless, ambiguous "war on terror", a sign of things to come ?

Australia threw that guy out DECIDEDLY. Isn't it clear that the entire world has finally rejected the destructive policies of George Bush ?

It would solve the problem of overcrowding and we could bring troops home. I'm not talking about the rapists and murderers. Tax evaders and criminals like that.

My answer was "too absurb to answer"
It was a ludicrous question! I do not believe there is much in comparison. That is my belief if you believe different, then we will agree to disagree. How was my answer offensive or didn't pass the smell test?

This comes from of the English documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle".

Many English schools are now forbidden from playing "An Inconvenient Truth" in classrooms. There are over 10 misleading mistakes in the movie and most of the "mistakes" look like they were put in the movie on purpose.

British Judge's ruling:
"Mr Gore's assertion that a sea-level rise of up to 20 feet would be caused by melting of ice in either West Antarctica or Greenland "in the near future". The judge said this was "distinctly alarmist" and it was common ground that if Greenland's ice melted it would release this amount of water - "but only after, and over, millennia".

Mr Gore's assertion that the disappearance of snow on Mount Kilimanjaro in East Africa was expressly attributable to global warming - the court heard the scientific consensus was that it cannot be established the snow recession is mainly attributable to human-induced climate change.

Poor Max was like the guy who brought a knife to a gun fight. Do you think it would have been more balanced if Karl had blown three of his limbs off while heading for a beer with his pals?

Do you think Max needed to mention his grenade blunder for a 50th time during the hour, or was 49 enough?
