I know this isn't going to change any minds, but I thought it was interesting.  I don't know if I am willing to vote for McCain with her on the ticket.  To be honest, it doesn't matter who I vote for anyway, since Obama is going to win MD pretty handily, but I think I'll be voting for a 3rd party again this time around.

Again, why arent they doing this to Obama. Didn't Clinton appoint his wife, Hilliary, to oversee the socialist healthcare program that failed. I think she was making about $110k.

As I was reading the article it dawned on me that I had read quite a few just like it recently.

I realized that if I switched the name Sarah Palin to Kwame Kilpatrick it matched.

Hiring friends, secretive government, firing opponents, heck. even a Mayormobile.

I understand Kwame is looking for a job, he should consider VP after he gets out.

MSNBC is not the source of this article, it's the NYT.

I value this kind of investigative journalism.  It's worth far more than softball interviews with politicians over and over and over again that you get from standard journalism these days.

McCain did a great job of locking my vote for Obama by picking Palin as his VP.  I wanted to keep an open mind before that, maybe pay attention to the debates, but this is the last straw for McCain and his so-called "maverick" status and reputation for doing the right thing instead of towing the party line.

Let's see here, Gov. Palin:

Creationism in science class? check
Drill to energy independence? check
Abuses power for friends? check

No, I don't think Obama's perfect, but where the Republican party is going is just scary. :uhoh

Pretty revealing how the media and the dems try to destroy any woman or person of color who has a chance to make it big but defends white guys like Bill Clinton, and glosses over moral creeps like John Edwards just because they have a common political view.  They also claim that Republicans are racist, judgmental, and want to keep women and people of color down.  Seems like every time I turn around it is the reverse, with the exception of the empty headed senator from Illinois of course.

Facts are often used to distort the truth. Al Gore even used a couple (giving him the benefit of the doubt) to scare his GWA followers into repentance. Looking at only certain "facts" is not logic and reason.

Unfortunately Urch, if one gets to that position, they eventually gain this mindset:

Interviews show that Ms. Palin runs an administration that puts a premium on loyalty and secrecy. The governor and her top officials sometimes use personal e-mail accounts for state business; dozens of e-mail messages obtained by The New York Times show that her staff members studied whether that could allow them to circumvent subpoenas seeking public records.


It is the nature of the business from our two strongest parties.

Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain were set a test with Russia's invasion of Georgia.

Here's McCain: "Tensions and hostilities between Georgians and Ossetians are in no way justification for Russian troops crossing an internationally recognised border."

Russia had "to immediately and unconditionally withdraw its forces". NATO should swiftly accept Georgia as a member, which would oblige Europe and the US to come to its aid.



Now here's Obama's camp: "It's both sides' fault -- both have been somewhat provocative with each other." The United Nations should step in and send a peacekeeping force under "an appropriate UN mandate".



LMAO UN  :rofl :rofl :rofl

I don't think I have a religious bone in my body, and I think she's a good candidate...  Certainly she is more grounded in real life and common sense than either Obama and Biden, who have lived their lives telling others what to do instead of doing stuff themselves.  As a further plus in her favor, she is not a lawyer so she has not lived her life benefiting from other people's conflict.  That is important, her not having the attitude that legal battles are a good thing.

"Osamabama" has to be one of the most cynical and juvenile epithets I have ever heard.  Trying to associate a presidential candidate with the enemy is as low and cowardly as it gets.

how do you feel about 'osama binbiden'?

what's the problem.. palins a woman with a bible and a rifle, binbiden is an arab with a credit card mogul parrot on his shoulder.

in politics, one must choose the defining symbolism wisely.

These rags are attacking Palins experience when she has basically the same amount of experience as the guy running for President on the Democratic ticket. If anything running a state is far harder, especially compared to a senator from IL. , all of whom basically spend their terms scheming and/or thieving.

Service to your country is a Republican value last time I checked.  Obama could've made a lot more money with his Harvard law degree if he chose to, but opted instead to work for peanuts at something he believed in.  Anyway, there's no doubt that his experience is light; lack of experience is spun either way by the pundits and politicians depending on whether its their guy or the other party's guy.

For example:

Experienced and proven leadership = Untrustworthy Washington insider

or you can flip it...

Untainted by corruption = Unproven, inexperienced know-nothing

I value this kind of investigative journalism.  It's worth far more than softball interviews with politicians over and over and over again that you get from standard journalism these days.

McCain did a great job of locking my vote for Obama by picking Palin as his VP.  I wanted to keep an open mind before that, maybe pay attention to the debates, but this is the last straw for McCain and his so-called "maverick" status and reputation for doing the right thing instead of towing the party line.

Let's see here, Gov. Palin:

Creationism in science class? check
Drill to energy independence? check
Abuses power for friends? check

No, I don't think Obama's perfect, but where the Republican party is going is just scary. :uhoh

I suggest you reread your  inquisition. All 605 years of it
Which involved possibly up to 50 million victims.
Heres a crash course for ya

And here are only some of the other cool toys they came up with.
All in the name of Jesus.

(http://www.francesfarmersrevenge.com/stuff/archive/torture/breast.JPG)
The Breast Ripper
Cold or red-hot, the four claws slowly ripped to formless masses the breasts of countless women condemned for heresy, blasphemy, adultery and many other “libidinous acts”, self-induced abortion, erotic white magic and other crimes. In various places at various times –in some regions of France and Germany until the early nineteenth century– a “bite” with a red-hot ripper was inflicted upon one breast of unmarried mothers, often whilst their creatures, splattered with maternal blood, writhed on the ground at their feet.

Besides the punitive function, breast-ripping also served as an interrogational and juridical procedure.
(http://www.francesfarmersrevenge.com/stuff/archive/torture/pear.gif)
The Pear
 The pear was a device that expanded after being inserted orally, anally, or vaginally.  It was used to rupture the sensitive membranes and tissues of these areas.  With much of the damage being inside the body cavity, "confessions" thus extracted could seem to be freely given.

(http://www.francesfarmersrevenge.com/stuff/archive/torture/heritic2.jpg)(http://www.francesfarmersrevenge.com/stuff/archive/torture/heretic1.jpg)
The Heretic’s Fork
With the four sharp points rammed deep into the flesh under the chin and into the bone of the sternum, the fork prevented all movement of the head and allowed the victim only to murmur, in a barely audible voice, “abiuro” (“I recant”, engraved on one side of the fork). If instead he still refused, and if the Inquisition was the Spanish one, he was held to be an “impenitent heretic” and, dressed in the characteristic costume, was led to the stake, but with the consolation of the sacrament if extreme unction; if instead it was the Papal Inquisition, he was hanged or burnt, without the benefit of the pretty costume but still with that of proper Christian rites.

(http://www.francesfarmersrevenge.com/stuff/archive/torture/judas2.jpg)
The Judas Cradle
This procedure has remained essentially unchanged from the Middle Ages until today. The victim is hoisted up in the manner shown in the accompanying illustration, and lowered onto the point of the pyramid in such a way that his weight rests on the point positioned in the anus, in the vagina, under the apple or under the coccyx (the last two or three vertebrae). The executioner, according to the pleasure of the interrogators, could vary the pressure from zero to that of total body weight. The victim can be rocked, or made to fall repeatedly onto the point.

I like Palin; I am not a churchgoer. I'm not voting for McC, I'm voting for Paul or Barr. But I still like Palin.

Here's the problem for libs, as laid out by a lib; this is why Palin is well-liked by a majority of the voters:

http://warner.blogs.nytimes.com/

Domestic Disturbances - Judith Warner

Quote
...No, it wasn’t funny, my morning with the hockey and the soccer moms, the homeschooling moms and the book club moms, the joyful moms who brought their children to see history in the making and spun them on the lawn, dancing, when music played. It was sobering. It was serious. It was an education.

“Palin Power” isn’t just about making hockey moms feel important. It’s not just about giving abortion rights opponents their due. It’s also, in obscure ways, about making yearnings come true — deep, inchoate (Note: for us unwashed red staters she means: not yet completed or fully developed; rudimentary. We have rudimentary desires unlike the sophisticated fully developed desires that she has. Hold this thought till the end of the quote where you will see she doesn't understand her own conclusion or suggested solution.) :) desires about respect and service, hierarchy and family that have somehow been successfully projected onto the figure of this unlikely woman and have stuck.

For those of us who can’t tap into those yearnings, it seems the Palin faithful are blind – to the contradictions between her stated positions and the truth of the policies she espouses, to the contradictions between her ideology and their interests. But Jonathan Haidt, an associate professor of moral psychology at the University of Virginia, argues in an essay this month, “What Makes People Vote Republican?”, that it’s liberals, in fact, who are dangerously blind.

Haidt has conducted research in which liberals and conservatives were asked to project themselves into the minds of their opponents and answer questions about their moral reasoning. Conservatives, he said, prove quite adept at thinking like liberals, but liberals are consistently incapable of understanding the conservative point of view. “Liberals feel contempt for the conservative moral view, and that is very, very angering. Republicans are good at exploiting that anger,” <Edit: Well, DUH! Most people do get angry at elitist axeholes! I hope she didn't pay the Associate Professor too much for that incredible insight! </edit> he told me in a phone interview.

Perhaps that’s why the conservatives can so successfully get under liberals’ skin. And why liberals need to start working harder at breaking through the empathy barrier.

This is the basic explanation of why the libs are screwing themselves into the overhead over Palin as Veep. :)

It's a BS question.  Your assertion that she "thinks she's doing gods will" is based on a misquoted snippet from a speech she gave.  In fact, her reference to "gods will" in context was actually "I hope that our acts are carrying out god's will", which seems like a perfectly reasonable sentiment.

But of course, it's much more fun to twist it around to try to make her sound like a religious whacko.  Which she is not.  She made the perfectly reasonable statement that she hopes our actions are in accordance with God's will, not an assertion that she is in fact carrying out god's will.

If you won't admit to seeing the distinction there, you're either deliberately twisting the facts or hopelessly ignorant.  This particular mis-quote of Gov Palin was so thoroughly debunked at least a week ago that even MSNBC isn't talking about it anymore.

 well lets see,
 she has been doing a great job so far,
 80% approval rating, the highest ever for any gov.
she has done every thing she said she would up to this point, and it has worked,
 so no reason to believe she would change the way she does things if elected!

 but I'll play along a little farther,
 i don't go to church very often,
 but i do believe in god,
that said , if she is doing gods will, I'm not sure i would want her too change now,
 since it has worked out so well up to this point,

 i do understand why others might not want her to continue doing such a great job,
 why they might want her to throw her religion away,
and if she did,   she would not be the right person for the job!

 you don't have to agree with a good leader, a good person,
to know that they are good at heart,
 that they mean well,
 that they try to do good for others,
 and you don't have to be religious to do those things,
but if she sticks to her faith,
 then she will stick to other things as well,
 and that's character

now this is rich

any statements made lately by Obama that have been twisted around?

Personally- I think Palin is a very intelligent - sharp witted - person, who totally believes that she is capable of holding the second most important office in the US, she very well may be... a lot of her statements have been twisted around, not only by so called liberals, but also by ultra conservatives to justify their own support... its funny how much of it is going on... but someone linked to an old thread from the last election.. I swear after reading that forum.. there are bots on this board.. a very active ultra conservative member of this board has not had an original statement since then..I swear a lot of posts have been copied and pasted here...it is just amazing the lack of debate.. and the total immersion in name calling and false rumors...

How about some sources to back up your absurd claims of 50 million? Other than youtube I mean.

So far, throughout the entire Inquisition, (not just the Spanish Inquisition) I'm seeing total deaths of 5000 at most.

This is a good article on the Inquisition.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08026a.htm

Quote
The Number of Victims.

How many victims were handed over to the civil power cannot be stated with even approximate accuracy. We have nevertheless some valuable information about a few of the Inquisition tribunals, and their statistics are not without interest. At Pamiers, from 1318 to 1324, out of twenty-four persons convicted but five were delivered to the civil power, and at Toulouse from 1308 to 1323, only forty-two out of nine hundred and thirty bear the ominous note "relictus culiae saeculari". Thus, at Pamiers one in thirteen, and at Toulouse one in forty-two seem to have been burnt for heresy although these places were hotbeds of heresy and therefore principal centres of the Inquisition. We may add, also, that this was the most active period of the institution.

I wouldn't know.  I don't go around spouting false accusations or repeating populist soundbites.  You must have me confused with someone else, because I don't think I have ever made a serious statement on this board regarding something Obama said that was misquoted.

You're trying to say that my factual refutation of Shrimp's false statement is invalid, because some un-named third person made a false statement about Obama at an unspecified time in the past?  Is that something they teach on debate team or did I miss the memo on how liberals win debates by making false accusations against anyone who brings a fact to the discussion?

A (fallacious) ad hominem argument has the basic form:

Show where the media went to this same trouble to try to smear Obama.

Rev Wright, which was NOT his doing is one example. False, stupid moronic and idiotic associations with terrorist. You need more? Because McCain used a LOT of them in his goal to run a "clean camp". "I hit you, but I want a clean camp, don't hit me back..." McCain, Paline and Reps are childish hypocrites and cry babies. Point being there are plenty that Obama went through.

I loathe Paline as for someone who's good with body language and detecting lies, she's full up to her ears with tells. She has a pile of tells, even more then McCain, who's fakeish forced smiles tells big stories. Both of them, habitual liars.

Paline is used to using her looks to cover up she's just full of crap and self.

No, I don't watch the news on TV. However, there are more left wing television news outlets than right wing. In fact, most of the media (TV and other wise) is left wing. The one place the left doesn't dominate the media is radio talk show.

None of them are holding the candidates feet to the fire on the issues... all we get are sniping attacks between 'republican' and 'democratic' contributors parsing soundbites.

The real reason for your stalking finally comes out....my Faith. Gotcha. September 21 1997 at roughly 10 pm I began my walk with Christ. I haven't always been perfect, no one is, that's what God's Grace is for. I have tried to always follow Christ's teachings as I understood them. I have tried to learn more of His word in order to better follow Him.

My two biggest struggles were cursing and smoking cigarettes. Prior to September 21 1997 I swore worse than Al Pacino in the movie Scarface, something I am shamed by to this day. It took some time and a lot of prayer before that monster was conquered. Smoking was a different monster altogether. Smoking almost cracked my Faith in Him. I smoked for 27 years, at the end I was smoking a pack and a half to two packs a day. I had some things to learn before I was able to successfully quit. The biggest one was to truly lean on Him, and to give Him my problem and let Him take the burden for me. Once I learned to do that and not rely on myself, quitting was easy. I prayed many times before and while I was quitting the nicotine habit. My Faith in Him grew exponentially during this time. You see, I had tried literally dozens of times to quit on my own and I was never able to. It was His help that enabled me to quit and for that I love Him dearly.

He has been a better Father to me than either of the 2 earthly fathers I've had. The State of Nebraska took me away from my biological parents at the age of 2. (From what I understand it was chronic neglect that led to this.) By the time I was 5 I had been in 5 different foster homes. I can only remember 3 of them. The 5th foster home, those people adopted me (and 2 brothers and a sister) all on the same day when I was 12. My adopted parents did things to us they never did to their own children, many of those things would have put them in jail for years if they did them today. My heavenly Father has given me the strength and courage to forgive both of my earthly fathers for how they treated me when I was young.

I'll pray for you Nwbie, I don't know exactly what your issues are, but He does and He can help.  :)

The real reason for your stalking finally comes out....my Faith. Gotcha. September 21 1997 at roughly 10 pm I began my walk with Christ. I haven't always been perfect, no one is, that's what God's Grace is for. I have tried to always follow Christ's teachings as I understood them. I have tried to learn more of His word in order to better follow Him.

My two biggest struggles were cursing and smoking cigarettes. Prior to September 21 1997 I swore worse than Al Pacino in the movie Scarface, something I am shamed by to this day. It took some time and a lot of prayer before that monster was conquered. Smoking was a different monster altogether. Smoking almost cracked my Faith in Him. I smoked for 27 years, at the end I was smoking a pack and a half to two packs a day. I had some things to learn before I was able to successfully quit. The biggest one was to truly lean on Him, and to give Him my problem and let Him take the burden for me. Once I learned to do that and not rely on myself, quitting was easy. I prayed many times before and while I was quitting the nicotine habit. My Faith in Him grew exponentially during this time. You see, I had tried literally dozens of times to quit on my own and I was never able to. It was His help that enabled me to quit and for that I love Him dearly.

He has been a better Father to me than either of the 2 earthly fathers I've had. The State of Nebraska took me away from my biological parents at the age of 2. (From what I understand it was chronic neglect that led to this.) By the time I was 5 I had been in 5 different foster homes. I can only remember 3 of them. The 5th foster home, those people adopted me (and 2 brothers and a sister) all on the same day when I was 12. My adopted parents did things to us they never did to their own children, many of those things would have put them in jail for years if they did them today. My heavenly Father has given me the strength and courage to forgive both of my earthly fathers for how they treated me when I was young.

I'll pray for you Nwbie, I don't know exactly what your issues are, but He does and He can help.  :)

That's the extent of the 'right wing spinmeisters'.. ?? Sure.. there's lotsa 'undecided' voters in those demographics.

LOL!

CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN.. leftist loonies and barking mad marxist collaborators. . FOX.. Republican tools, can't be trusted to find their own arses with the charmin without a teleprompter.

None of them are holding the candidates feet to the fire on the issues... all we get are sniping attacks between 'republican' and 'democratic' contributors parsing soundbites.

and it's truly sucktastic.

You guys are far more entertaining. ;)

The mud has been slinging both ways from the start. What I was talking about was the media's campaign to smear Palin, we haven't seen that same effort towards Obama from the media. Sorry, I should have been more clear.

Ok show me where the media is slamming Paline.
As I see it, so far she's gotten more coverage in the last week then other peeps in the last months. None of it I saw was slamming Paline. Although I have seen some media pointing out her lies etc.. is that what you call bad media? Hey, if a person is full of crap, a  person is full of crap. Paline is full of crap. And it's her own mouth and her own patting herself on the back for half truths that gains her that attention. As McCain see it, it doesn't matter, as long as it keeps him from answering to questions about real issues, he's happy as a lark.

IMO Paline is just a part of smoke and mirrors, when HE gets elected you have to remember, all she's going to do is sit there on her butt, with no powers to do much more then pick her nose. She's camping like it's her getting elected president, she's not, until he dies she's just a no power lamer sitting in a corner.

The only thing that woman talks about is what she did in Alaska,.. and those are dripping with half truths and nonsense. Doesn't take more then 5 minutes to find the realism in her stories about herself. Obama does have more experience with making choices with larger numbers of people. She's just a circus geek.

newbie.. supporter or not of osamabama... you seem to be giving him a pass on what you claim are violations of your core beliefs on religion...  you said..

"I don't attack Christians... i do attack bigots, racists, and people who because they think that being a christian means forcing their beliefs on society as a whole"

Now, I think that the rev wright and his church... which osamabama attended for 20 years and..  which is "christian"  and racist bigoted and forcing it's beliefs on a whole segment of society.. well.. I just think it is odd that you spend so much energy trying to trash Palin when I do not recall you doing the same when osamabama was outed for being a member of the racist bigot church where....  of all things..  he looked at the head racist and bigot as a "mentor" 

It was at least a dozen times worse than any mild christian Palin belief.   

Why do you give osambama a pass on a much much worse example of what you supposedly hate?

I would say that to you  "the end justifies the means" in this case at least and that you are leaning so far left that you can't enter a doorway without hitting the frame...  and.. worse..

Actually Laz, I never participated in a discussion about Wright - I never read anything on here to discuss--I am quite sure there was something on here ..but I never read it..thus no posts
per Wright - he is a reverse bigot and I would never support him...he is no different than Farakhan in my opinion, but forced his beliefs on society as a whole is a little bit of a stretch... There is a white catholic priest in chicago that causes more racial problems than that guy ever did ...and is just as much a problem as any white racist in a robe... I agree with people like Bill Cosby who say - get ur donut off the couch and quit your whining... but I also think that apples to any race..there are plenty of white and mexican and asian...and more ... that abuse the system, use christianity as their sword of justification ... KKK comes to mind...
Are there any videos out there of Rev Wright pontificating while Obama was a member? There might be.. i have never seen one.. doesn't mean there aren't... And i agree, if Obama was a participant in such ditrates, he should admit it publicly, or at least have someone come up with actual proof..
i certainly am not going to apologize for him.. i am not my brothers keeper, Sadly, Rev Wright has done a lot of good for his community, power of the press and power of notoriety went to his head, and the reverse bigot showed through.
I went to a few young communist meetings when i was in college...does that make me a commie? 

She believes she talks in tongue - or at least she did.... that the spirit of god speaks through her....

They still have to do the same old .. Hey - I'm like you - I can relate - song and dance... like when Reagan glad handed with Jerry Falwell - you do know Ronnie hated doing that right? -
As for Obama saying wright was a mentor... bet he wishes he could take that back .. but i also think he meant as being active in the community.. pushing people up to gain self respect - to move on to a better life...  lots of anger in the black community - lots deserved.. but anger that at some point needs to be let go of... you can't reverse history...

Rumors on the internet are not the same as the media pounding Paline. The Media "pounding" Paline is just exposing her BS as it is. If that's slamming, well then she asked for it through her own stupid mouth.

"BTW, that bridge to nowhere, I told congress, thanks but no thanks" That line of BS comes out in EVERY single speech EVEN AFTER it's been proven it's half truth she's telling about herself over and over. Not sure people can get much more stupid then that,.. but I'm sure I'll be amazed soon.

like Al Gore -- chad issues - I bet his anger disapeared on 9-11, I can just Imagine his thought processes that morning--Thank jod i lost the election... cuz this is a cluster****...................

Do all liberals believe that someone must be religion free if they are to serve the state? What a serious distortion of the 1st amendment.

Where is it said one must be religion free? And i am sure there are many hard line republicans that shook their head and said - ohh noooeeesss... when the speaking in tongues stuff came out...

i don't slam Christianity.. far from it... i do point at extreme unbalanced behavior and say -- utt ooohhsss....speaking in tongues ... uttt ooohhhhss

Now how come Dub-Ya went after Sadaam and not Osama? Which was the whole point of retribution... right?
Still have never got a clear answer on that - other than Haliburton wanted the natural gas lines in Iraq.. and unfortunately, Osama wasn't cooperating and was actually there,,, will you admit to that?

I'll admit that Bush didn't get Osama if you'll admit we went after him in Afghanistan, purged the Taliban of power in the effort, and still fight them every day there. We are even trespassing into Pakistan to get that murdering bastard and his cronies.

AKIron, I have stated this before and will right now, my sole reason for being in O'club is entertainment.  I will not spend my time in here researching facts that will not be taken into account by you fellas.  The righties in here are like lawyers, always changing the real topic into whether someone can link a source, that they will honor.  I shall not go there.  I believe like many in this country do, that 9/11 happened on Bush's watch, and therefore that most of the responsibility shall be placed on his shoulders.  If he didn't like how things were going, he had 9 months to change them, and history shows us that flags were up, and ignored, under his watch(no I will not spend my time researching an exact link because you fraks know this to be true).  As we all know, all reporting/research usually includes personal bias, as in any field of research, just that in politics, its all prevelant.  So what's in a link, what is the truth, who decides?
  I used to read Arlo's posts, and thought he was way out there for my good on most topics, but I appluaded his courage to stand up against you fellas.  The O'club is probably slanted towards the right by as much as 80-95%.  One can hardly make any statement at all against a conservative view without being bombarded with requests for links that none of the righties will reguard as truth anyway.  So, when I say Bush is at fault for 9/11, it is so as I see it, no link will tell me otherwise, it was how I was raised.  It happened on his ship, 9 months after he left port, if he didn't like how the ship was being sailed, he should have acted with more vigor to correct it before the tragedy. :aok

Actually, Reagan made the first mistake (if you ignore Carter and the Iran hostage fiasco), when rather than send in more Marines when their barracks in Lebanon was bombed, he pulled the Marines out, giving terrorism their first major victory against us. He however, did not repeat that failure. Nor did G.H.W. Bush. However, Clinton on the other hand, failed miserably and repeatedly, throughout his two terms. There were repeated attacks, and he repeatedly failed to take proper action. Further, he wrecked our intelligence system, and hamstrung our spec ops assets.

I said, and have always said Bush carries SOME responsibility. You on the other hand, with nothing to support your claim, blindly and constantly claim Bush carries SOLE responsibility. There's a big difference. Bush would NEVER have been able to catch up in time, but could have been ahead of where he was. See, again, you ignore what you want to ignore, and scream at the top of your lungs what you want to believe, and assert that your desire to believe it makes it so. It doesn't, and you have no facts to support your assumptions. The fact that you categorically REFUSE to support your assumptions remains unchanged, and it renders your assumptions moot, and without merit. You cannot even support your flawed thought process. By your standards, if you took over a class that was failing a subject, then they were tested 4 weeks later and they all still failed, their failure would be ALL your fault.

No. Bush did not hijack a single plane on 9/11. Al-Qaeada terrorists did, they are the ones at fault for 9/11.

Congratulations. The thing is, Clinton never recovered from his complete failures, while Bush recovered from Clinton's failures too late, he recovered well enough we've not been successfully attacked since 11 September 2001.

The fact that you categorically REFUSE to support your assumptions remains unchanged, and it renders your assumptions moot, and without merit. .
This is where you go wrong.  If, I tell you I was robbed, and you call bs.  My lack of proof to assure you it happened will never change the fact that it did, indeed, happen.  You could continue to debunk my claim and win a debate on the fact that I didn't have proof, but it still happened, nonetheless.

Bush, was alive through all of the CLinton era attacks on us, he and all of the people around him knew Binladins name and his intentions.  He had 9 months to do something, he failed.

Clinton had the opportunity to respond to multiple terrorists attacks on us. His responses were feeble at best. Bush gave 'em Afghanistan and threw in Iraq for good measure. Still waiting for that cheap oil though. Anyhow, Clinton's foreign policy proved to be a miserable failure. Bush's has not. This is like the difference between Carter and Reagan. We don't need another Carter or Clinton.

First, 9 months simply was not enough time to rebuild the intelligence networks that were dismantled during the Clinton years.

2nd, What exactly, do you propose that Bush should have done during those first 9 months he was in office?

No, I didn't go wrong. The problem with your assertion is that you believe something happened, and yet provide no evidence, saying you don't HAVE to.

Again, expecting Bush to stop the events of 11 September 2001 in EIGHT MONTHS when in fact there is plenty of evidence that it was in the planning stages for at least 2-3 YEARS is ludicrous. On 20 January 2001, Bush inherited, from a less than co-operative Clinton administration, a spec ops and intelligence system that was in complete disarray. The spec ops units had been hamstrung, and prevented from operating freely. The intelligence system was a train wreck, the human assets had been cut to the point where they couldn't gather adequate information. That section of the government was performing so badly that we'd been attacked successfully numerous times. It took eight YEARS for it to get that bad, and you expect it to have been fully repaired and functioning at 100% in eight MONTHS? Get real.

Yes, and by going into Iraq, Bush has forced Al Queada to focus their assets in Iraq almost exclusively, and they've been decimated. They've been summarily defeated at every turn. Even they admit they've been thoroughly trashed in Iraq, and soon enough, they'll get the same in Afghanistan, unless of course we get a President stupid enough to let them rest and recover.

The systems were not broken, they detected the terrorists, just nothing was done about it.

He should have "laid down the law" on all intelligence agencies about the threat and impotance of immediate action.

No one is saying they were broken, they were crippled but not broken.

*edit* Where he should have *laid down the law* concerning the intelligence agencies was in the area concerning their *rivalries* with each other. Seriously....what the heck were those retards thinking? They are ALL on the same freakin team but they acted like it was some sort of sports league and they were all in competition with each other.

That said,..he's actually making very valid points to consider.

You will be much better off if you accept views from all angles instead of just the ones you choose. That said, IMO,..quite a few folks in here are walking around with pin-hole vision.

If someone says something you never heard, research it, not just to prove it right or wrong, but to educate yourselves, so this time making a MUCH better decision on who you put in that office. because people can blame Bush himself all they want and I DO, but the reality of that IS the people are responsible by voting with their eyes closed, and for victory over truth and ignoring all the red flags, just like he did.

People who game the game and play elections like some sick game show with party-line as a divider, have done this country and it's people a great injustice.

Instead of treating it like something important to all of us, like an election. There's nothing wrong with educating yourselves so that we don't screw it up again and let complete utter back stabbing lying morons slip through cracks.

You can't educate yourself if you refuse new information,... OR finding out that some things are just false rumors.

I'm and independent, I care not who you vote for, just don't screw us all again with the brainless lazy party-line way. When you ignore all the red flags and vote party line, you just did us all a great injustice...IMO

Just so you know, I've known him for quite a while. I know who you are, too. I couldn't care less what gets the time of day from you.  I don't accept any views from any direction if those views do not have any supporting evidence behind them. Post "views" and no evidence to back them up and it's nothing more than noise. If you don't care enough bout your "views" to support them, why the Hell should anyone else care about your "views"? You want your "opinion" heard, back it up. If it's the  same drivel I've heard before, from any side, show me a reason to give it consideration, or it is just that, unsupported drivel. The fact that you came along and offered your opinion doesn't mean squat either, because you didn't back it up. Your opinion of him doesn't validate him or you, nor does it give either of your views any value or credence. I'm not here to do you justice, in your opinion, and I don't vote any party line.

The only person screwing anyone is the person posting "views" and demanding they be accepted with nothing to support them. And that person is screwing every person whose time they waste by being too lazy to back up anything they say.

Come back when you have something intelligent to say, as opposed to "Gov. whacko" and the rest of that drivel. And do it after you've decided you feel strongly enough about it to post some facts and sources to back it up. Your "feelings" mean exactly squat. I don't make any judgments or decisions based on "feelings". And if you post for "entertainment", post something entertaining, such as a joke or an amusing or interesting story, instead of slobbering some crap you heard from some "media outlet" that you "feel" is correct.
