Still, he was against regulation before he was for regulation. You see, he flipped, before he flopped. Of course he also married into massive amounts of money (after leaving his first wife for getting ugly), and he was a terrible pilot in the military. Ah...echoes of the last election.

To me it is impossible to make anyone be abstinent unless they choose to for their own belief. Not doing something is always an option what needs to be thought? I guess that’s what I don’t get. Abstinence means abstaining from something in this case sex. It means don’t have sex. There is no rule that told me to have sex I wanted to. I have lived in a country where they try to enforce abstinence on the youth with guns and it still doesn’t work. I guess IMO it seems like spending energy and money on trying to find a way to lick your elbow. I just don’t get it. I understand someone not wanting to have sex until they get married thats fine, I don’t get what needs to be thought about that in school. She didn't say you're going to prevent them from having sex. She said that we should teach them that abstinence is the best way to avoid STDs and pregnancy, and she also said that we shouldn't teach that it's the only way. It's true that abstinence is the best way but not the only way to avoid such things, so why wouldn't we teach kids that? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

--------------------------------------------------------- Fucked? you want 2 lawyers? have you been in court lately on followed what happens in the court system? talk about fucked up, maybe you want another added pile of shit in the white house on top of the one we have now. I think an education in and understanding of constitutional law will be a lot more helpful to the position than an education in flying or journalism.

I pretty much agree with you. If one takes a life for food and/or fur, one should be grateful for that life. Mocking the kill is childish and reflects poorly on the ungrateful person doing so. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I like the result and I think the argument against it is absurd. The claim that the distinction between privately and publicly held property is "arbirtrary and unreasonable" doesn't hold water when one considers the meaning of public ownership. Public ownership means the people who use the park all own it. While an anti-gun freak would be perfectly within their rights to forbid me from carrying a gun on their private property, they have no right to tell me I can't carry one on my private property. Since public property belongs to both of us, we should each be free to do as we see fit, provided we don't intrude on the rights of the other. I can carry a gun without infringing on his right not to, but he can't ban concealed carry without infringing on my right to carry. To argue otherwise is to say that one portion of the public should be treated as a private property owner while another portion should not. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Out of curiosity, what was, in your opinion, the problem with the "lipstick on a pig" comment? It's not an unheard of expression, and only means that the same old thing packaged a different way is still the same old thing. Yeah, I didn't see that one as a gaffe, it was just a bunch of people looking for an excuse to act butt-hurt. The 57 states thing was a pretty good goof. Not quite a Bushism, and bettered by Quayle, but a goof nonetheless. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Ever heard of social security disability insurance? What about unemployment insurance? Blues, Dave all of which are predicted to come crashing down much the same as we have just seen. If the gov is running or controling it, it will fail. Just takes a little time........ As contrasted by the stellar management of AIG? I don't think I've heard of doom and gloom predictions for unemployment insurance. They're definitely out there for social security supplemental income, which kind of captures disability insurance by association, but last I heard, that program was still operating in the black, which is better than AIG can say. And honestly, my guess would be that if you separated disability insurance from supplemental income, the former would be sufficiently funded to last quite some time. It's the latter that's gonna screw us, which is why all of our politicians keep making empty promises to fix it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Well, I don't think I biased my search in favor of Clinton. I went to the Government Printing Office's page of all bills passed by the 105th Congress, starting reviewing them one at a time till I realized how long that was going to take, then started searching for obvious terms in the title, like loans, lending, housing, homes, etc. If you have a better term for me to look for, I'll gladly chase it down.

97 is when the key law was changed ... A review of the headers of laws passed by the 105th Congress doesn't point me in any particular direction to verify your claim. Given that I can't find whatever law it is you're referencing, all I can say is that the legislature writes laws. In 1997, the GOP controlled the legislature. In fact, the GOP controlled the legislature every year from 1997 to 2007, and they also controlled the White House for 7 of those 10 years. So how is the meltdown that started showing itself in 2007 the fault of the Democrats? And how is the guy who tried to suspend ALL federal regulations in 1995 and who still claims himself to be a "de-regulator" the knight in shining armor?

Personally, I've never had a Muslim trying to convince me of their extreme creationist views, nor try to teach my daughter those views. In fact I don't even know what those Muslim views are. By contrast, I've been told the Christian version thousands of times (or at least it seems like it). That might have something to do with the difference.

You realize that Bush and the Republicans had the white house AND congress for six consecutive years, including the 19 months following McCain's statement you quoted above, right? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

George W. Bush, September 2, 2004, George W. Bush, February 18, 2008 Blues, Dave This started in 1997 and that is easy to verify. A few years back McCain and the Bush Admin requested that congress change the oversite of Fannie and Freddie and predicted exactly what has happened today. This too is easy to verify. You should really check it out

And this is why we have never had an open door policy. We've also been known to have "just say no" weekends and we don't let anyone crash with us for any reason. It is our home away from home. Sometimes we just want peace and quiet. This is why, when upsizing my RV this year, I got one without too many extra beds. My old 19' hybrid had four beds in it. My new 26' (that I think is the same floorplan as your's) has two, and the spare bed is kind of inconvenient to put out. This way we can let someone crash whenever we want, but people are less likely to just assume the whole place is up for grabs. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

She did cut property taxes, she also raised sales taxes. The budget she inherited was $8.2M. The budget she handed off to her successor 6 years laster was $18.6M. That's a 127% increase in spending for your touted 25% increase in population, not to mention the $20M debt she also incurred. Yeah, she's a real fiscal conservative.
