what Sec. Reich shinks about a national sales tax replacing our current tax structure.? I think it would help our manufacturing sector by making U.S. goods less expensive oversees and imports more expensive here.
if it was done in the inquisition it must be OK. They were working for God.
Oklahoma politician that accused the weather channel of using scare tactics to get people to watch?
were the ones getting tortured by him running for president.
but I never bought the bit about a just war. Turning the other cheek and being a soldure do not mix.
Don't become distracted by this or spend much time on it. Continue doing what you have been doing. Try to remember that most of the right wing will attack you no matter what you do. The things they say may be true on not, that is not relavant to them. Think about the dems in congress. They will painted as weak on defence. They have given the president everything he has asked for but they will still be called soft on terror during election time. Stay focused on what your doing.
that this guy was just taking existing administration policies to their logical conclusion.
The leadership in the democratic party preferse not being in charge, that way when the capitulate on every major issue they can truthfully claim there was nothing they could do.
It is funny you should say that because his adminastration clearly does't keep a histoty book anywhere in the white house.
Well done Glenn!
changes to FHA ans FLEX guidelines will make it easier for people to keep their homes. From what I have heard the problem countrywide has is that they are holding a lot of pay option ARMS, these are in many cases loans that are too big to refinance under fannie/freddie guidelines and seem a little more riskey.
but what happened to the "while you were watching X" articles about the debates.
Did any one else notice that on one of the issues Sen Clinton answered the question "Blah, blah, blah for a commission to study the issue blah, blah blah so as you can see I have a clear policy."
That is not a policy, sometimes that is what you have to do but it is not really a policy.
Clintons vote on the Kyl/Lieberman ammendment will come back to haunt her in the general election, because the white houses' line will be "of course the point of theat ammendment was to give us the authority to bomb them".
Those were not pointed questions. The comintaters were trying to get people to attack Clinton.
if at any point the administratin will figure aout that people don't trust them anymore, and that we base our distust purely on their actions.
Nah.
Moveon and code pink are both made up of Americans, Bush dosen't listen to Americans and he is the most powerful man in the world. It is good, sound advice.
Didn't we face down the soviet union for 50 years, the whole time pointing the finger at them for doing the things we are doing today?
drag all this out, and not give Bush a chance to pardon these people. I wonder how many administration officals will be investigated abter Bush is gone.
that any one would vote for someone other than the canidate they like the most. I don't care if my candidate may not win, or definatly wont, I vote for who I like and cant really understand the reason behind doing otherwise.
so they don't get Geniva protections. Any Iranian we capture could be a "suspected" member and therefore a "suspected" terrorist. Why do we suspect them? Can't tell you that, national security and all.
What this ammendment really does (besides allow us to bomb Iran) is nulify the Geniva conventions in a comming war.
It's kinda scarry to some of us too.
As it turnes out it depends on what dance is being done. As samba, only two. A waltz, eight and whole lot if that pinhead is being used as a mosh pit.
the white house thinks we could attack in just an air campaign, or if they want to send in ground troops. An air campaign without ground support is guaranteed to fail, but that doesn't mean they wont try it.
Virtually every opponent of libertarian political thinking says the same thing "No government", as in libertarian want no government at all. That would mean no roads, no currency, no police etc. That doesn't make any sense at all. Libertarians want less government not no government.
I think he wants to send it to the states to decide on a state by state basis.
You really should do an article on option mortgages. Most of them have not reset yet. I work in the mortgage industry and I keep talking to people that have these and are now, too late figuring out how they work. A lot of these people, mainly middle and upper income earners are going to see their mortgage payments double in one month and they can't afford it.
an end to the days when lots of people identify as conservatives and buy their books. They need to get their money now because soon there wont be any more.
I bet there not too different.
Why did the senate bother to ask any questions? This guy claimed that the president can in some cases ignore the congress and he would not say that waterboarding is torture. What king of answeres would he have had to give not to be confirmed?
The one term sort?
that in the past when societies with a middleclass couldn't get divorced, people just left. They were still "married" but they were not together.
Sorry but I have to disagree. Frank Burns had a uniform and lived in a war zone.
this will be a big help.
