Hipocracy in politics?!

I don'i beleive it!!!

Mr. Leonard

Why do you refuse to see that although the "sub-prime debaucle" is a creating some problems, it has been and will continue to be a net benefit for our economy? By the way I am in the 86% of people that got a sub-prime loan and is still paying on time, but may not have been able to get into a home at all under the old lending standards. The sky is not falling.

When are you gonna be on Keith Oberman?

I have a question

Since the rebublicans seem bent on rolling back civil liberties and the democrats seem bent on not stopping them, is voting for a third party still "throwing your vote away"?

Friday, August 31, 2007 08:16 AM

Casual observer

Right now I would agree with what Nadar was saying. Neither party has a leaing canidate that will repudidate the roll back of liberties we have experienced, they probably want those powers for themselves. To me this is the most important issue, much more important the war (not that there is a lot of difference on that issue either).

Who is .....

actively in control of the joint security stations?

I think all people....

once they have their mind made up, if presented with two sets of contradictary information are prone to beleive the information that supports the conclusion they have already drawn. Some people are better at re-evaluating their position when they receive new information than others, but we are all prone to this sort of behavior. I think that is what happened to Bush.

The lenders spent...

a lot of money on lobbiests and lawyers to write the bankrupsy ledislation, don't they deserve some return on their investment?

Bin Laden is back...

so what liberty are we supposed to give up now?

What arrogance.

Personally I hope Craig stays. If he leaves it will be because the GOP forced him out. Washington will be telling the people of Idaho who can represent them. The arrogance should be astounding, but it is actually not suprising.

Monday, September 10, 2007 07:36 AM

I support Craig

What he did noes not constitute a serious enough offence to require him to leave the Senate.

Monday, September 10, 2007 08:30 AM

First of all...

how does everyone know the Mossouri state motto? We don't know everyone elses.

Second of all, what did he really do wrong other than try to usa a public restroom for sex. Beleive me I would not want to walk into restroom and find two men going at it, but really how serious is that?

Monday, September 10, 2007 09:05 AM

Yea Ross Perot what a nutjob.

That looney used to say that if we signed on to NAFTA lots of jobs would leave the country...oh, they did? Well he also used to say that our deficate was gonna balloon...it has? That much?

Well just becaus he was right doesn't mean we should stop calling him crazy does it? By that logic we should stop listining to all the foreign poilcy experts who got us into Iraq.

Monday, September 10, 2007 09:55 AM

Gee Tom

You make the whole thing sound like it is not going well.

I hate to disagree with you Glenn, but I am pretty sure this is not the biggest stratigic disaster Americ has ever made. After all, no one had burned down the white house.

Original article: Dollars from deadbeats

"The government should stop enforcing these contracts in situations where they are unfair or socially harmful"

Lets think this through. If the government dosen't evict people for not paying their mortgage, there will be a lot fewer people with mortgages. A lot fewer howe owners. Thats bad for society.

Monday, September 10, 2007 04:40 PM

Is it really....

a Generals job to talk about political reconstruction? I don't think it is. Crocker is different story.

Original article: "Broken Government"

"* Utilization of anti-trust/monopoly laws to break-up giant media conglomerates."

I wonder if there is any way to use these laws to break up political parties?

Tuesday, September 11, 2007 03:26 PM

The first thing I thought....

when I heard about Bin Ladens recant statements about the enviroment and Noam Chompski books is that he must be on the GOP payroll.

"You don't sharpen your talons on the weak"

Clearly you are not familiar with Sara Silverman.

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 09:02 AM

Do they not understand...

That no matter what happenes they will be painted as weak and the cause of all that is wrong in Iraq, reguardless of how many tims they capitulate? What the republicans say about them in the next election will have no basis in reality no matter what they do, they should view that as liberating.

I am so glad we have religion....

it does so much good for the world.

Friday, September 14, 2007 08:30 AM

Did anyone else notice...

That when bush read that letter he actually moved his whole head from side to side instead of just his eyes.

Friday, September 14, 2007 09:47 AM

Thank God for more regulation.....

we cant have people investing their own money without Washington telling them what to do.

Friday, September 14, 2007 11:28 AM

Dear Anon

Your right capitalism never works out. I mean the 86% of people that received sub-prime loans and are still paying on time, they should never have received the loans they got, that way we could have protected the other 12%.

Vie Via Big Brother!!!!

Friday, September 14, 2007 11:31 AM

Sorry

I meant 14%

Friday, September 14, 2007 01:42 PM

Was the repeal...

of the 10th amendment official or unofficial?

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 09:39 AM

Maybe the authors could tell me....

If they don't currently have a contract, would the Iraqi laws that prevent them from prosecution still appyl to them?

Seriously

Original article: Why Bush won't attack Iran

"This President is the kind of president who believes it is his moral responsibility to address serious problems now and not to leave these tough actions to a successor. "

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Wednesday, September 19, 2007 01:58 PM

I hate to say this....

but if these democrats cant stand up to this president at this point in time, could they actually stand up to Bin Laden? This is discusting.
