Wiseguy
[Read the article: Fred Thompson's biggest role yet]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I will forever think of him as Knox Poolie rubbing his hands together in his final scene.
Why are Republicans and conservatives so suseptible to charletans? Watch Ted Haggerd's scene in Jesus Camp. With a documentary film crew right in his face he advises a creepy kid hell-bent on preaching to, "Reel them in with the cute baby face. Worry about content when you're older." Does anyone believe George Bush, Anne Coulter, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh (well we all know about THAT one), etc. are living the "family values" they constantly shriek about?
P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute." All them Republicans.

Come September it will be wait another 6 months.
[Read the article: Time to think]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How many "6 months" have we been through?
They're dragging their feet waiting for the next president to deal with it. Lott is a lifer. He doesn't care if other Republicans go down in flames. He'll still be hanging around.. He's probably hoping the Democrats make big gains in 08 so he can stand on the sidelines wringing his hands saying we've lost the war and its THEIR fault.

Daddy's going to leave, and on calendar month so and so Mommy's going to come home
[Read the article: Killing them with kindness]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...in a flag draped box.

Just once...
[Read the article: Christopher Hitchens, Al Sharpton and God]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...wouldn't it be refreshing to get through a single day without having to hear: "god", "Jesus", "faith", "Christian", "Islam", "Sunni", Shiite"...and throw in Santa, too.
I don't know what comes after this life, but whatever it is and wherever it is I'm sure Jesus is watching us saying, "Elvis, what did we do to deserve this?"

$$
[Read the article: And now, a message from the people]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If (when) the Democrats fold on this it will be for one reason: they take money from the same snakes who also fund the Republicans, and those snakes are making a fortune on this Iraq disaster. Polls mean nothing but something to fill time on the 24 hour cable news shows.

I have a feeling Mr. Gates has job regret.
[Read the article: Why we fight?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Have you ever changed jobs and halfway through the morning of your first day day you think, "How the hell did I get myself into this?!"
I'm getting that impression from this guy.
-
Dawggone, you're absolutely correct
[Read the article: The disconnect]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But they won't do that. Instead will see the Democrats turn soft and whishy-washy and try to work in "god", "faith" and "Jesus" every chance they get to try and scrounge for votes among a group who will NEVER vote for them.
Send the funding bill back to the asshole, as is, over and over. And, yes, target the most vulnerable Republicans now.
-
Then he made it clear that the buck stops ... well, not with him
[Read the article: Cheney: "We didn't get elected to be popular"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A "deferrment" of another type, I guess. He's a fat, slimey coward.
What I found odd reading his statements was that he seems oblivious to the fact that as of January 2009 he and Bush and the rest will be thrown on the trash heap of history.

Political vaudeville
[Read the article: Unsynchronized spinning]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]that's all this is. The Republicans can now come across as concerned and attuned to the feelings of the American people while remaining resolved and stalwart. Just a tarted-up "stay the course."
If Rove was really furious, he'd be figuring out how to fire congressmen.
-
Who was responsible for 9/11?
[Read the article: Cheney plays the blame game]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The administration who ignored and discounted all of the warning, that's who. Its time we lay the blame exactly wheere it belongs.
-
The headlines will suddenly be...
[Read the article: Nothing to see here]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Surge Success!
Baghdad Street Violence Does Complete Turn-about
The news will get out. It always does. If they try to sugar-coat and lie their way out of this disaster it will come back and bite them on the ass.

[Read the article: The Iran backtrack turnaround two-step]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This administration is as festered and running-sore covered as your screen name.
They're only opening talks with Iran and Syria now because their backs are against the wall. Its not diplomacy, its desperate survival.
Talking to Iran and Syria SHOULD be a good idea, but after the Bush administration's inflexible stance of the last number of years, this sudden about-face (dare I say, flip flop) looks weak and ill concieved.
Does anyone still think this bunch of idiots has made us safer?

You've got to be kidding me?!
[Read the article: The stone is cast]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Conservative Christianity has been trying to recover from Falwell for the past two decades. Just as his political views were too buffoonish to make the Moral Majority a reality, his religious sensibilities were too shallow to spread evangelical Protestantism. Evangelicalism grew in the exurban megachurches, and the megachurches, implicitly and occasionally explicitly, rejected Falwell's approach to the faith. Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Bill Hybels -- these inclusive preachers inherited the mantle of Billy Graham, not Falwell and his great rival Pat Robertson. With the maturation of American evangelicalism has come an interest in social justice, environmentalism and peace. The people who represent evangelical Protestantism's future want little or nothing to do with injustice, pollution and war."
Jerry Falwell was the poster boy for the toxic and corrosive Conservative Christianity" that has become a cancer in the this country. That is quite possibly the most rediculous paragraph I have ever read. Those people people have inflicted untold damage on the very fabric of this nation. May they ALL burn in hell with that pig Falwell.

What is loyalty?
[Read the article: Hagel: Gonzales must go]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We've been hearing alot obout Gonzales' loyalty to George Bush over the years. But what is loyalty rooted in ? At what point does starry-eyed loyalty become a self serving arrangement. Certainly its almost rediculous that Gonzales hasn't resigned by now. It seems that anyone with any amount of self respect would have. Its equally odd that George Bush is so stridently supportive of him. Ganzales is being crucified for the crime of being Bush's and Rove's waterboy.Now is his "loyalty" coming with a price? If he did resign and take the fall would his "loyalty" suddenly shift in a much more selfish direction.
Maybe Bush and Rove have to prop this fool up because he could be BIG trouble for them if they ever cut him loose.
-
I hope its a volunteer position...
[Read the article: "I don't have an answer for you"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...because paying big bucks to another hack who will do nothing but trot out the same lies and distortions we've been hearing for years is just a big fat waste of money.
-
Maybe...
[Read the article: The George and Tony show]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bush will get the blowjob that will get him impeached afterall.

What will happen when the Democrats' no-confidence resolution comes up for a vote
[Read the article: Gonzales loses another senator, faces "no-confidence" vote]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Every Republican will vote against it.

"support the troops" = "support the war"
[Read the article: Edwards' insensitive move]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Support the troops" is as empty and meaningless as when concervative Christians spit out "Jesus." My two macaws use speech in a more cognative fashion.
"End the War" that's all you need to say.
