Just as mysterious as why it is required for an educator to have a college degree. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

You imply that it is worthwhile to not set a high standard. Your complaints about hypocrisy are meaningless unless you are prepared to say that it would be OK for a Democrat to commit the same offense. Then you would have to explain why your standards are so low. The Democrats, the party of lower expectations. Where are the calls from Dem leadership for William Jefferson's resignation? Isn't what he did bad enough to pass even the Dem's threshold of expectations? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

How come you forgot to mention Willy's BJ? When you set yourselves up as the party of moral rectitude, saying "the other guys are just as bad" when you're caught doesn't make a good defense. Yes, Clinton did get a BJ from an intern (like a teacher/student relationship, or congressman/page relationship - usually that is not considered acceptable). He also had credible evidence accusing him of being a rapist, sexual imposition & harassment, making advances to a woman on the day of her husband's death, having the Arkansas state police help him cheat on his wife... The article you linked concerning the resignation of Rep. Ney includes a few quotes from his Republican colleagues and leadership that make it clear that they wanted him to quit a long time ago: "It’s about damn time," said Robert T. Bennett, chairman of the Ohio Republican Party. Where are the calls for William Jefferson, Democratic member of the House of Representatives from Louisiana to resign? Does the fact that the Democratic party does not make set high standards for themselves make this OK? The Democratic Party - The party of lower expectations. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

John Kerry said that he would never insult the members of the military (even though he did). However, you don't have any problem with calling them brainwashed dummies. Thanks for the making your thoughts known. That's your paraphrasation, not my words. I said there was a brainwashing process, basic training. And I said they were 18 YO dummies as I was, which I stand by. Kerry said the essence of if you don;t go to college, you might go to the military. If we took the IQ from the avergae soldier and that of the average 2nd year college student, I wonder who would register a higher score? I love the troops, if we ever engage in a neccessary war or police action, we will need them. Even with the BS wars/police actions we engage in now, they are still heros. I respect military people, but with that, I don't have to artificailly say they are brilliant because most are not, but the sacrifices they make are often remarkable. I don't RAH-RAH, I speak/write the truth. This is why I'm so repelled from teh Republican Party; you have to pull for your side even if they are wrong, dumb, lack discretion, etc.... Dems don't cheerlead nearly as much as the right, barely at all. The right operates off of cliche, established protocol, strict norms, whereas the left is progressive and operates of off new ideas. You said they're brainwashed, you said they're dummies. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

As StreetScooby indicated, the assertion that "it is about oil" implies that the US would own the oil, operate the wells, collect the revenue. I don't know of any countries where that is the case. So, in that sense, it is definitely not about the oil. However, our enemies have explicitly stated their desire to ruin the economies of the free world. I think it appropriate for the president to prevent that. The statements in the article you linked are consistent with that. I favor a policy to plan for a date certain where the US would no longer buy oil from certain countries. Take away their weapon before they use it. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Downplaying the threat: Do you not recognize that Dems in congress say the threat is not as severe as claimed by the president? Do you not remember the use of the term "fearmongering" by his poliltical opponents? Don't insult them: Do you not remember the reaction to the president's correct use of the term "Islamofacists"? Prioritize first responders' in every little podunk town: Do you not remember the desired emphasis on 'first responders' as in fire/police/medical personnel? This is a prime example of how the fight against Al Qaeda and similar groups is seen as a police action, and that spending money to improve the ability of civilian 'first responders' to react after an attack in every little town is more of a priority than going after the enemy on foreign soil. Send someone like Madeline Albright (she's probably have a pretty new broach to wear) to convey our apologies, and then hope for the best: She has been putting herself before the cameras advocating more diplomacy and understanding, making her opposition to the president's policy known, always with a pretty broach (they are very important to her). She reminds me of Neville Chamberlain. I don't think the 9/11 commission's report included a recommendation to ignore communications between Al Qaeda leaders. It is a policy that I'm sure would be welcomed by our enemies. I don't think they like it when their private communications are intercepted, and Arab/Muslim leaders surely don't like it when their preachings to their followers don't match their public pronouncements. I think it is correct to criticize our poor intelligence and poor interpretation of that intelligence, but you dismiss the letter as a plant, and now proclaim that we can take away their power over us by ignoring them. That is a very interesting concept, perhaps incoherent. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

He is funny, but I think he should have made up the name of a fictional country instead of using Kazakhstan. Especially since he isn't from it.

"Don't believe them either way? So even if the letter isn't a plant, we just should ignore it? But of course you would like to ignore it, it supports the assertion that the war in Iraq is hurting them badly. It fits the strategy of downplay the threat, don't insult them, prioritize 'first responders' in every little podunk town, send someone like Madeline Albright (she's probably have a pretty new broach to wear) to convey our apologies, and then hope for the best. Of course you don't care about the letter... People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

The decision to rush forward with electronic voting is the problem. That stupid decision is the fault of both parties. The punch cards were better than what Ohio has now, for sure.

>What about the letter from the Al Qaeda leader (can't remember >which, but it was one of the biggies) that went on about how much >they have been hurt, how their operations have been damaged? I think what you are actually saying is that you are going to have to go with just a small portion of the National Intelligence Estimate, and ignore the rest. Dems have gone on and on about the failures of our intelligence community, but now prefer to believe a letter from an Al Qaeda leader is a plant instead of continuing to distrust the intelligence of our intelligence agencies. Dems talk about hypocrisy, but should try looking in the mirror. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Your contempt is showing, that is OK, good to let everyone know what you really think of others, just in case they haven't been able to pick it up already. I did not post this. billvon did....... Quite right, I had replied and edited down from the wrong post. Previous post edited to reflect.

Impressing yourself and your liberal soul mates with quotations from fictional books will do nothing to reduce the threat we face. But perhaps that reveals the prime issue separating us. Many feel that the threat has been inflated, that fear mongering for political purposes is the threat to be defeated. I say that the enemy is not us and that it is time to choose sides. Perhaps Jimmy Carter will go on a self assigned diplomatic mission, returning with some promise and he can then declare, "Peace in our time". You can take your history lessons from Orwell, Neville Chamberlain and the like, I'll prefer to take lessons from the likes of Winston Churchill and his non-fiction book The Gathering Storm. As you might remember, much of the free world would not recognize the very real threat looming. One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt... We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.

What makes it different is that an individual was attacked for his specific actions. Kerry attacked the military as a whole. Huge difference.

That is exactly the preaching of the Islamofacist leadership. The average muslim is not turning against the facists in their midst. I think Islamofacist is a perfectly appropriate word to describe them. They are facist, and they do it in the name of their religion. It doesn't matter if you say a true Muslim wouldn't do such things, the ones that are doing it are doing it in the name of their religion. This also means that Christianfacist would apply to the Inquisition, and also to abortion center bombers, but the important difference is that the inquisition was hundreds of years ago, and the abortion center bombers are aggressively pursued, punished, and very few support their actions.

How did Karl Rove get into this discussion. Did Rove get Gore's people to try to invalidate the overseas military absentee ballots? The line about telling a lie long enough goes both ways, and exactly what lie from what I've said are you going on about? It would seem you're saying the majority of military are gullible to the supposed lie...that's OK, I don't mind libs showing their true feelings. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Kerry is a top leader of the dem party. I understand that you'd like to not recognize that the military by such a huge margin did not support him, even though he was a veteran that had served in Vietnam, even though he was brave enough to throw his medals over the fence, but then he said he didn't, but won't show them... The fact that the military didn't support the last Dem candidate for president is a huge indicator of where they as a group stand on the issues. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Because they are getting the crap kicked out of them. What about the letter from the Al Qaeda leader (can't remember which, but it was one of the biggies) that went on about how much they have been hurt, how their operations have been damaged? The letter was not intended for the western press. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

How do you know the PC is not original? Mfgs don't make all components, PCs are time consuming to build, and Cazer PCs are top of the line.

Ah yes, one would think. But dems claim that Bush's policy is motivated by greed/power/oil/revenge for dad's attempted assassination/etc. Damn, there's got to be something wrong with people that would be motivated by all that! Either that or there's something wrong with the people making the hate filled accusations. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Bill, that is a total load of crap. Kerry has insulted all of the military, and done it more than once. The swift boater's campaign ads in '04 insulted just one member of the military. Huge difference. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

When the 2000 election recount wars were on, the Dems were making it clear they thought the military clearly supported the Repubs and Bush. So much so that they sought to disqualify their overseas absentee votes because they didn't have a postmark (impossible for it to have by the way because of how the post office handles their mail). That was of course another example of how the libs hold the military in contempt. I believe they still are likely to vote in favor of Repubs, although probably not to the 80% margin that was figured in 2000. Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps they've done a big shift to the liberals. If not, then what is wrong with the military that they don't agree with the libs? If I'm not wrong, what is wrong with the libs that the can't understand what those doing the fighting understand? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Quite right! The dem leadership have consistently showed a contempt for the military. Clinton 'loathed', Kerry's made up stories in '74 and throwing his medals (maybe - he says he has them but won't show them). Their true feelings are shown in such statements as Kerry's. Kerry didn't even apologize, he just said he's sorry so many misinterpreted...
