People seem to be under the impression that we can "win" this "war". What does win mean? How do we know if we have won? Who are we defeating?

Quick survey:
Anyone else think that Nancy Pelosi is an individual suffering from delusions of granduer?
I think she needs to get over her totalitarian rule of the House and realize what her role as Speaker truly is.

I just saw "Lions For Lambs", the movie with Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, and Robert Redford. I'm not sure if the movie is heavy-handed or not direct at all. To be honest, I didn't come away with any strong feelings after the movie.

Does the movie make a legitimate case for the war on terror, or is the Tom Cruise character just trying to dupe another reporter so he can get into the White House?

The reason I'm asking about this in the Politics section (rather than Entertainment) is that I don't want a critique about how well or badly the movie was made, but rather to understand the political message from the movie.

Was the movie supposed to be optimistic about prevailing in the war on terror? Is the Tom Cruise character really committed or is he on an ego trip? Why was the Meryl Streep character so suspicious about his motives?

What about the Robert Redford character? Why is he so interested in having his student join the fight?

Al Gore has made more than $100 million dollars off of global warming, and a Nobel Peace Prize. Yet a recent studies by NASA and NOAA disputes his claim about the Polar Ice Caps melting. What say you?

Is he trying to kill Social Security with the "Investment accounts" scheme to keep from paying it back?
Is that why he says the Debt he has increased from 5.7 Trillion to 10 Trillion "Doesn't matter"?

Both sides just need to get over themselves. All either extreme is doing is spouting spin and trying to out semantic the other with clever quipping. Neither group does anything but sideline and distract and honestly it just sends this country into a tailspin.
Why not look for productive solutions that require just an ounce of Common Sense instead of regurgitating the same tired crap?

CARACAS, Venezuela — Humbled by his first electoral defeat ever, President Hugo Chavez said Monday he may have been too ambitious in asking voters to let him stand indefinitely for re-election and endorse a huge leap to a socialist state.

A few malcontent libs grouse every year about nativity scenes and Christmas trees. If they are "offended" by this why don't they truly walk the walk and work on Christmas day? And, why aren't they petitioning to have Christmas Day defrocked as a holiday? Can't have your cake and eat it too!

I think the Democrats would, but maybe that's because I'm kind of liberal. It seems to me that the Republican party uses negative advertising to try and turn people off to the political process.

Here is the add that the Mouth Breathers at MoveOn.org used to slime our men and women in Uniform.

I doubt even the 6% of the Military that is LIBERAL agreed with them on that.

Thanks for staying the course Mr. President. History will record, once again, how you and the Military were right and the useful idiots on the left were wrong.

Or do you think she would burn down (that is figurtive statement if you are wondering) the DNC like she did when Bill was in the White House?

Or is her ego too big to consider that?
