psst...that's a fictional character

I've said that a billion times in here. The main cause of violent crime in this country is prohibition of narcotics, and keeping the jails full of narcotics offenders necessitating early release of violent criminals.

Actually, pirate attacks are UP under Bush http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=1300344

Ok...I started 1st quarter of 2001. We'll use your dates (even though I'm hard pressed to figure what the federal budget has to do with GDP) . 9.9536 is 144% of 6.9110. That's a 44% increase under Clinton. 12.5896 is 127% of 10.0215. That's a 27% increase under Bush. So yes...quarter by quarter, GDP has grown slightly faster under Bush than Clinton. What happens to those numbers though when you discount military spending? Or include the deficit, debt, or devalued dollars? edit to remove incomplete thought.

Not LA...worse....east coast inner city narrow one way street with cars parked on both sides. He would've been lucky if he could get his door open.

My bad...went back to 2000. Ok, so in the 19 quarters he's been in office, the GDP has grown a total of 13.3%. In the 19 prior quarters under Clinton...it grew 19.1%. Or, if you think that's an unfair comparison, we'll go with Clinton's first 19 quarters. Then it's 17.6%. Any way you slice it, the numbers are still better during Clinton's term.

Sorry...I was mixing apples and oranges. I was referring to the stock market pre-recession. GDP has grown. But...GDP has grown a total of 15.4% in the 23 quarters Bush has been in office. It grew 23.7% in the 23 quarters preceeding that while Clinton was in office. http://www.bea.gov/bea/dn/gdplev.xls

He said it in this thread. Then modified his statement to what you saw when I called him on it. Based on???? There are a lot of economic gauges. Some are better than the 90's, others are worse. As far as averaging year to year growth, considering how low we dropped in 2000-2001, that's not saying much. We still haven't recovered to the same levels we had pre-recession.

They had more intel than Bush shared with us. They had the intel that contradicted the claims of WMD, and that is why they NEVER STARTED A WAR. It wasn't until GWB came along, that the contradiction to the WMD claims were sidelined and footnoted and a push for war was made. It's so obvious it's almost laughable.

I'm pro choice, but that IS a correct assessment. The constitution does not provide a right to an abortion. It provides a right to privacy when dealing with medical issues. That right was seen as encompassing the gov't attempt to make abortion illegal. How do you criminalize something that the gov't should never have the ability to know is taking place?
-
What does that have to do with his claim that unemployment is lower now than it ever was during Clinton's term?
-
He said "if he can flee that is a wiser course of action". It can be, but not always. That is the blanket statement I don't agree with. Many times even if you can flee, it is NOT the wiser OR safer course of action.
-
Pot meet kettle No, I don't think you're a liar, just wrong. GWB on the other hand is a different story. He intentionally attempted to deceive the public. Whether he stated outright untruths or not is irrelevant. He attempted in convincing people that there was more of a threat from SH than really existed. That was a lie.
-
Probably not, but as I said, I object to his "blanket" claim that standing your ground is akin to voluntarily staying in a more dangerous environment than running. Sometimes the best defense really is a good offense.
-
Your unemployment claim was entirely false. Who was lying? You, or your source?
-
I renew my objection to this blanket claim. Turning your back on an armed assailant is NEVER a good idea.
-
But what about all the good things that have happened in France in the past week? Why hasn't that been reported? I heard the whoosh
-
I'll repeat...I don't care what you say, you can't beat em. Anna Nicole is a pig and always has been a pig.

???? I'm guessing that's a jab at Unions. Let me ask you something. When's the last time a company that you owned shares in asked your opinion about who to contribute to? Corporations that I own shares in make contributions all the time to politicians that I don't like. If you want to ban Unions from making contributions without a vote, then ban publicly held corporations too....deal? Organizations such as corporatation and unions make contribuations to those they believe are in the best interest of their organization. If you have a problem with that, don't associate with that organization.
-
To be fair, Bill never advocated banning guns. Rather he expresses the opinion that you can avoid or run from any trouble that you may encounter and therefore don't need them.
-
Claiming that democrats hoped for higher unemployment and making false claims IS propaganda. Your claims are incorrect. Did you go tthe site I referenced? First you say unemployment is lower than anytime in Clinton's tenure. That's wrong. I call you on that and you revise to "unemployment isn't as bad as democrats hoped". Yes, I call it propaganda.
-
Funny thing is....usually the republicans have a 3-1 advantage. The democrats are actually doing better and have broke their records for off year campaign contributions. In other words....more lame republican propaganda that sheds a false image on reality.
-
I know you advocate running away from trouble. I think it's a bad idea to turn my back on someone who means me harm. I believe it is SAFER to stand your ground, well prepared to defend yourself, than to turn and run. Turning your back on someone confronting you with a knife or gun is stupid. And unless you're the fastest person in the world, running from anyone who means you harm is a bad idea.

Rev Jackson needs to stay out of it!!!!!!

WTF??? Why does he think anyone cares what his position is on this? Or Ralph Nader. I'm willing to bet TO or his manager hit them up to release statements. It's just too bizarre. No one in the city of Philadelphia wants him on the team. That's all that matters. -
You just can't beat these...I don't care what anyone says. Pam on her honeymoon
