And you totally within your right to have that opinion. I've never really given a if my opinion is shared by others or not. That is why it is MY opinon.
It is my opinion that your opinion is not shared by many people outside the drudgereport and the RepublicanUnderground types.
I can take it. It isn't like I haven't been pwned before on the net.
Bring it on!!!
Not at all.
We still have the Democratic platform of:
Impeaching Bush!
Cutting and Running from Iraq!
Raising Taxes!
etc...
You're right, we all reserve the right to be wrong...and, stubborn about it. Just like John Kerry.
2 years of a congress that actually performs oversight on an administration will get something done. , this congress got pretty much nothing done, so it can't be any worse.
2 years of congress that actually performs oversight on an administration will get NOTHING done. Just like they've always done. So you're right, it can't be any worse, but it won't really be any better either. In my opinion.
Oh yes it can. As much as the Republicans spent like drunken sailors, the Democrats are spendaholics.
Then, Let's see about that "getting something done" thing...
Pulled us out of a recession, survived the economic devastation of 9-11, ushered in a booming economy and, then, there's the military victory after military victory; Yeah, I'm sure the Democrats can top that with their cut-and-run and tax raising strategy.
I have yet to see any coherent national platform from the Democrats. That's why the Republicans are so ed -- voters prefer nothing over what they currently have. That's how badly they have governed.
post 132: pure fantasy.
"Pulled us out of a recession"
economy runs in cycles. If you want to credit dubya for doing anything postivie economically in 6 years, you must admit that Clinton's economic successes were fantastically better.
"survived the economic devastation of 9-11'
Compared to the size of the US economy, the WTC hit had very little impact. Even the phony Iraq war burning through $80B/year, financed by borrowing from the Chinese, has had little effect on the economy.
"ushered in a booming economy"
... which booms only for the corps and the super-rich, not for the lower 90%.
"then, there's the military victory after military victory;"
Yes, just like "we never lost a battle in VN" meant we didn't lose VN war.
In spite of the hard, successful work by military, dubya/ head/rummy are losing both Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
ing amazing, AND HILARIOUS, how you rats defend your dubya ship as it sinks beneaths the waves. Go down with the ship, rats, you won't be missed.
Lesson #1 in how Congress works Yoni. They need presidential approval or a resounding majority to pass something, neither of which they will have. So yeah, tell me how they are going to raise taxes and spend money out the ying yang. Go for it.
@ pulled us out of a recession. Thats rich.
This is why I avoid posting with Yoni. He lives in a fantasy world. You go around in circles with him, but its pointless because he has such a skewed perspective on things.
Remember the "Bush on Rushmore" hallucination? I wonder which blog he got that from.
Considering the President is the head of our military and is resposnisble for foreign policy how exactly could the Democrats in Congress cut and run?
YV and Whott have become ridiculously easy to demolish.
It's hardly any fun or challenge anymore, like shooting Aggies in barrel.
They will fail to renew the President's tax cuts or make them permanent, thus; allowing them to sunset and raising taxes in the process.
Can you spell e-a-r-m-a-r-k-s in the absence of a line item veto?
The Recession of 2001
Why can't Bush just veto the whole bill then? If cutting spending is that important to him -- he's proven that year after year, hasn't he?Can you spell e-a-r-m-a-r-k-s in the absence of a line item veto?
You're obviously not as clever as your political gods.
The Democrats realize some things are more important to this President than cutting spending. The Global War on Terror. You can expect them to amend and earmark every military spending or authorization bill for the next two years if they take the majority.
you. I have no political gods and I suck no politician's the way you have Bushy.Then I expect the President to veto the bill and send them back to the drawing board. I didn't the recipient of your oral pleasuring was such a coward -- but it all makes sense now.The Democrats realize some things are more important to this President than cutting spending. The Global War on Terror. You can expect them to amend and earmark every military spending or authorization bill for the next two years if they take the majority.
A little touchy there Chumpy. Hit a nerve?
Yeah, two years of our troops languishing because we have a Congress that would rather fatten their districts than pass necessary legislation. You'd love that.
Like I said, they know the President's weakness is military spending and they will be pouring pork into amendements in those bills.
That's not cowardice, it compromising for a greater good. You don't veto a funding cut to your military -- during a war, no less. That'd be stupid.
For Crooky, two robins make a springtime!
Where is the evidence that college grads, probably in education debt for 10's of $Ks, are turning down or leaving jobs of $40K/year, or more, to enlist to fight in Iraq? Crooky came up with 2. Any more than that? can we see 3 or 4 ?
The Army is scraping the bottom of the barrel and lowering standards to find enough warm bodies for dubya's bull , unwinnable wars.
The rank'n'file of the military is simply not where America's 99% best and brightest intend to spend ANY time.
As for Iraq quagmire, same was true in VN quagmire. Those who got educational deferments like head or hid in the National Guard like dubya, took them, while those who couldn't, mostly uneducated, unemployed, rural, "poor white trash", and blacks got forcibly conscripted.

Yeah, the "Yoni is a liar" nerve.A little touchy there Chumpy. Hit a nerve?Since when would it take two years? Call a special session and tell the Congress and press exactly why you are doing what you are doing.Yeah, two years of our troops languishing because we have a Congress that would rather fatten their districts than pass necessary legislation. You'd love that.Has he vetoed ANY spending bill in his Presidency? Ever? The record shows SPENDING is his weakness.Like I said, they know the President's weakness is military spending and they will be pouring pork into amendements in those bills.That's knuckling under to Democrats. That you would agree to that is no surprise, I'm just surprised you admitted to it so early on.That's not cowardice, it compromising for a greater good.
Chump, you seem to be arguing that congress will not be able to accomplish their goals if Democrats get the majority...............why are you even arguing this? Is this like before you go golfing that right off the bat you say your hamstring feels funny so that you'll have an excuse why you played badly before the round even starts?
