Let go of your hate and read. Bad intel does not equate to lying. Deal with it. Hating GWB won't make him go away. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

How disappointing that a former President would make such erroneous statements: - Israel has not bombed the entire nation of Lebanon. Mr. Carter is either lying or ignorant of the facts. - His comments about the tax system are simply not in line with reality. The rich paid the most taxes prior to the tax cuts. They still do today. - Israel's attack on Lebanon is unjustified according to Mr. Carter. Like many opponents of Israel's action, he fails to state what they should have done. Probably because there is no good answer. - Mr. Carter states that Israel is attacking the civilian populace of Lebanon and Gaza. The Israelis were attacking Hezbollah guerillas embedded into the civilian populace. Warnings were given to the civilian populace as well. - Mr. Carter states that Israel holds over 10,000 prisoners, yet fails to state why they are imprisoned. If he had his facts in order, he could have done so and driven home his point. He didn't. - This statement makes me chuckle on many levels: This administration has not attempted at all in the last six years to negotiate or attempt to negotiate a settlement between Israel and any of its neighbors or the Palestinians. Negotiate w/Hamas, eh, Mr. Carter? I believe non-negotiation with terrorist organizations to be a good policy, myself. If you don't... - Carter, like many Dems these days (though not all), alludes to a Fundamentalist Christian symbiosis with the Republican party. If this were true then there wouldn't be any pro-choice republicans (there are) or gay republicans (Yep! They exist too!) or any Catholic republicans either (got those in droves). That symbiosis doesn't exist, though it proves useful to Dems to promote such a deception. Those with below-average-intellect might actually believe it. - This ticks me off: 'when we permit the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib'. I challenge Mr. Carter or anyone to find one member of the Bush administration who condoned the Abu Ghraib abuses, ordered such abuses, or praised such abuses. Permit indeed. Blatant falsehood and Mr. Carter is far too smart a fellow not to know better. Disgusting in all regards. His inference to Fundamentalist Christian acceptance of the Abu Ghraib abuses is bigoted and incorrect. Such abuse goes against any Christian doctrine - fundamentalist, moderate, or whatever. Like the Funamentalist Christian symbiosis lie, it seems that many Dems love to bring up Abu Ghraib and infer the Republicans had something to do with it. It's a lie, they know it, and are cowards for hiding behind it. Period. - This little blurb shows a bit: SPIEGEL: Take your fellow Democrat Senator Hillary Clinton. These days she is demanding the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. But she, like many others, allowed President Bush to invade Iraq under a false pretext. Carter: That's correct. It's incorrect, and Mr. Carter knows it. Did Mr. Carter allow the hostage rescue attempt to proceed in the Iranian hostage crisis knowing the sandstorms and technical problems would doom the mission? No - he did so based upon the best intel/predictions available. That proved false - just like much of the pre-Iraq invasion intel. Mrs. Clinton and almost every other member of Congress, Republican & Democrat alike failed to DO THEIR JOBS and read the intelligence available to them. Had they done so, perhaps the pre-war discourse would have been far more robust and more people would have been against it. - I agree w/Mr. Carter that trade and travel between Cuba and the US would bring down communism there faster than anything. We should have ended the embargo long ago. All in all, a most disgusting interview. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I know plenty of people holding advanced degrees who voted for GWB. They wonder who in their right mind would have voted for either Gore or Kerry. The rich paid most of the taxes prior to GWB's tax cut. They still pay most of the taxes today. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

It should either be about either the greatness of tequila or the benefits of Christmas carolling in July. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Congrats! I remember mine like it was yesterday. Fucking awesome, dude! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I'm going to bribe the judge with tequila. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

In an act of defiance against the evil monsters who made a meth lab in the sacred land from which tequila floweth, I am now drinking tequila.

Jalisco is where tequila is made!!!!! What if these sonsof bitches had contaminated the world supply of tequila? Think of the dire consequences for the world! How DARE they endanger tequila at it's sacred source? What the hell are they thinking? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Deal! I need to make it back up there sometime...don't know how you stay so thin, because you're wife's home-made pies are far better than mine. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

a chocolate truffle pie...and there's nothing ANY of you can do about it! Muuuuhuhahahahahahaaaaaaaa! Whuffo friend in town for the weekend...figured I'd better have a nice dessert for them since they were nice enough to visit...plus it gave me an excuse to practice one of my other favorite hobbies - making desserts.

You speak the truth, my wingsuited amigo. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I disagree. Prior to the '00 election he was a right leaning Dem on an issue or two. He even had some ideas - albeit bad ones - to cut taxes when GWB was proposing tax cuts. There's a lot of merit to term limits. I'd say four to five for Reps and three to four for Senators myself. Two for governors and the ten year restriction for the President sounds good to me.

Probably join you next weekend Barbara! I've got friends in town this weekend. The last few times I've been at the Hills we've done some decent belly flying.

If he's guilty, I hope he fries. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I think Joe Lieberman believes the people of Connecticut would be better served by his presence in the Senate than by anyone else, and is therefore running as an Independent. I was very perturbed with the man by the positions he took when running as Gore's VP candidate, but kind of like the man as of late. He seems to be a level-headed moderate in a Senate populated by partisans. I hope he wins as an Independent.

Good riddance.

Defense spending, like any other departement, can definitely trim out quite a bit of fat and waste. However, 'tis the mandatory spending that is driving the deficit. Any cutting of waste will help, but if one is serious about reducing the deficit & debt, then one must address the mandatory spending problems we're facing.

Ditto. Not walking would suck donkey balls. Good luck with whatever decision you make!

Y te amo tanbien, mi bonita amiga! Move to Jacksonville and be my neighbor! I'll bet YOU wouldn't slam the door in my face for Christmas carolling in July! We could Christmas carol together. If we switched bodies for a day, I would go around telling all the chicks that short men are the best lovers...especially short blond men with poppy eyes who have tequila on their breath.
