If that isn't backhanded enough for ya... how exactly did he take that responsibility? By saying it? LOL. He's STILL got Brownie on the payroll.
How about taking responsibility for that lousy Supreme Court nomination.....

NOpe! He's blaming the Democratic minority in congress for asking for too many papers. Heheeeee. Dude! This is rich!

And as for me being in the peace love dope generation..... you don't know jack.


Taking responsibility for a nomination....oooookay. I think he DID when he MADE the nomination (Thinking of a good blonde joke here, but it would be editted).  As for the democrat minority in congress, Uhhh, does Clarence Thomas ring a bell? The democrats just LOVE to find mud, any mud, to disrupt any nomimation...why do you suppose they do that?

Brownie is on the payroll, for another 30 days. We'll see what happens then. Remember it was the press that crucified Brownie...but naturally you'd trust them before anyone, and Dan Rather is your uncle...

Regarding your past...I think the content and opinions of your posts speak for themselves, loud and clear.  ;) Rock on, dude. Peace!

Oh yes, let's vote for some other liars and cheats so we can all rally again at the next election.  blah, blah, blah, rinse, repeat.

I am not going to be happy until we have the option to vote for "None of the above" and that option to be taken seriously.

But what are the consequences of "No Government in power"? Seriously?  We must focus our attention of the "lessor of two evils" then vote that direction. Can you imagine Kerry in office right now? I can't. Bush has screwed up, but I can't imagine him screwing up as badly as a liberal dem like Kerry could have...

If 50% of the people vote for "None of the above", then the parties must go back and pick someone else to run, and we keep doing that until we get a winner.

Otherwise, we are just changing the name of the people in power, and nothing else.  One day the parties might get the hint, we are not going to take it anymore.

How else can, "we the people" send that message?

Incidently Skuzzy, this whole thread was just an attack on my signature that I've carried now for 3 months...maybe his conscience finally triggered an anger where he felt he must dedicate a thread with the subject of my signature.  ;) Sometimes the mirror frightens us when we see our reflection.

I'm for it. How do we get it on the ballot?

I'm for that. I'm also for some sort of compromise between "Electorial votes" and actual numbers counted.

You have just that opportunity coming up in Texas, Skuzzy. Don't vote in the gubenatorial primary elections. Then, sign the petetion to get Kinky Friedman on the ballot and vote for him in the general election.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Point one, if it will actually happen, and we have to have ‘re-election’ then who is going to cover the cost?
Point two. In order for that 50% to work, general population must be educated in the politics and actually sincerely care about its issues. Since both parties put forward blend of nothingness and neither party makes changes which affect people as a whole, no population will magically ‘care’ about something which does not affect its lives.

i still think the key to national politics is local politics. It's doubutful we can get a grip on the national monkey without first getting control of the local bananas.

Blaming her withdrawal on the request for additional papers is hardly taking responsibility. Maybe it would be more honest to just come out and say it was a mistake? Maybe he should admit that he didn't have the votes to confirm her? Maybe you forget that the Dems were the majority party when Thomas was nominated.

Brownie has been reupped for another 30.. You like paying the salary of a proven liar and incompetant? (bet you can't answer that without a Clinton reference)

Regarding my past... you are on thin ice. I am the product of a WW2 Army Air Corps vet who became the CEO of a company with 1/2 billion a year in sales... without a college degree. And a woman who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Illinois in 1945. You know, back when women didn't do those things. Which one exactly would you call the peace love dope generation?

You continue to soldier on without the facts .... thats an admirable quality Rip..
