Well duh!

When you add up the hookers and the toe-tappin' gay bathroom sex OF COURSE Republicans end up having sex more often than Democrats! Interesting about the number of Republicans that would sleep with an old married white guy though.

@hack

That's crazy talk! Our Congress would never even consider such a thing! You, sir, have insulted America.

Criminal Charges?

While it would be nice to see them get hit with a fine, aren't there laws on the books making it a criminal act to spoof traffic in this way? Of course, laws like that never seem to end up applying to corporations; look at the Sony rootkit fiasco for plain evidence of that. Civil penatlties are nice, but if we have laws criminalizing individuals for the same acts these companies are performing, they should be applied. I have always thought that executives will think nothing of paying a fine, but will think twice about spending time in jail.

I Want To Believe

Unfortunately, I need details and evidence to do so. Obama is a great speaker - what with the belly fire and all; unfortunately all he seems to be talking about is change and hope and reaching out. In other words, a lot of stuff that sounds good but doesn't really mean anything when you look past the totally awesome delivery.

I am glad that Edwards made a good showing, since at least with Edwards I have some idea what he is talking about actually doing if elected.

Personally, I will take angry over hopeful these days, since personally, I am pretty pissed off.

Well Equipped for a Change

For once the president is well positioned for doing something - after all he has the jawbone of an ass, so he sohould be able to do some good jaw-boning. Too bad it's in his head and not his hand.

Um...

It is a personal use for me to make a copy of a song and give it to a friend. That is actually pretty well established, regardless of what the RIAA might like to pretend, just as is format and time shifting. Or will they be going after the Bush twins for the exercise mix-CDs they have openly talked about making and giving their dad in the past? Can he be arrested for recieving stolen goods? That would be almost as wonderful as bringing down gangsters for back-taxes.

Original article: Maybe Romney had a dream

Oh come one...

Mitt, Mitt, Mitt. If you are going to make up crap, go BIG. My father and I fought in the American Revolution! I was one of the drafters of the Magna Carta! I saw the crucifixion of Christ! In fact, I still have the T-shirt!

Making up stuff about marching for civil rights isn't going to get you any Republican votes anyway; George W. Bush is not the only party member that doesn't care about black people, after all.

Are you implying that Cheney is the final Cylon model?

So What?

Actually, I am pretty sure if various republicans had not worked for Dumont's release, it would not have happened. For a male, life in prison without the possibility of parole tends to severely limit your ability rape or murder a female victim.

This is not about someone doing their time, getting out, and then falling back into their old ways; this is about a deliberate campaign to get release a convicted rapist, who had also admitted previously in court to participating in a murder, back out on the street because Huckabee "felt sorry for him".

I do not heart Huckabee.

It's like a broken record

Once again the president demands a state fully disclose to him a program that doesn't exist and will not accept an inspector and intelligence (real intelligence, not those clowns playing at making up intelligence in the Pentagon) confirmed "It doesn't exist" as an answer.

I can already hear the declaration, after the invasion of Iran, that "No one could have predicted that that Iran had no active nuclear weapons program".

@Anonymous 2

Your original, very short post didn't provide any context for your statement, and it really did come off as "Oh! But look at the Clinton connection to this"! Also being anonymous, I too jumped to the conclusion of "Troll!"! Your second post is much clearer in intent and I completely agree with it - the other people involved in promoting the Dumond release are a bunch of true scumbags (to use a popular Republican term of respect).

@Anonymous

It amazes me that republicans have no problem killing thousands and thousands of Iraqis, partially justified as avenging a failed assassination plot against a republican, but assume that something is fishy if an obviously guilty man goes to jail for raping several people, including a woman peripherally related to a democrat.

The party of law and order indeed. These people are nuts.

Nothing like Horton

This case is nothing like the Horton case. In this case the candidate in question actively campaigned for a convicted criminal's release. Not supporting a furlough a program (which was created by a previous Republican governor), but supporting the release of a specific convicted rapist who he personally "felt sorry for", who went on to kill at least one, maybe two woman, and possibly one of Huckabee's precious unborn children.

The culpability here is clear and direct.

The existence of a Bob & Ray stamp somewhere in the world gives me hope for this sad planet. The fact that most people have only ever heard them, and would not recognize them on the stamp, just makes it sweeter.

You say potato

"the intelligence community, which has for some years now been leaking material calculated to undermine George W. Bush, is doing it again."

Some people refer to this material as "facts", and yes, they do seem to undermine our President.
