McCain and Jerry Falwell

You are letting your admiration get in the way of reason. Perhaps your admiration is a bit too inclusive.

I admire McCain the POW who was held captive and tortured. I admire the McCain who had the guts to say that under torture, one will admit to anything to make the torture stop.

I have nothing but contempt for the McCain who let the Bush apparatus smear his wife and his adopted child in the 2000 campaign. I have nothing but contempt for the man who shilled for Bush in 2004 despite the dirt that was dished out on his family in 2000. He is a family value man? Right!

I have nothing but contempt for the man who now espouses the filth and hatred spewed by the religious fanatics that constitute the religious right movement. He now espouses the very people who said that 9/11 was God's revenge for feminism, homosexual life style, etc...

I am a New Yorker who escaped with my life on 9/11/01. I'll never forget that gloriously beautiful morning when everything seemed to be right with the world, and when that feeling was shattered in a split second by religious fanatics -- see the parallel?

I lost too many colleagues, and I went to too many funerals, to ever forget -- never mind forgive -- the noxious statements that Falwell, Robertson, and their putrid ilk, made in the aftermath of 9/11.

And now MacCain makes excuses for that evil,repugnant,lot?

His pandering to the American version of the Taliban is worth a grass root campaign.

McCain is a political whore

McCain will never be President. His shameless embrace of the American Taliban is an idiotic political move.

Get over your infatuation with that creature. His voting record is an abomination of right-wing nuttery. This is the guy who supported the abortion ban just passed by the South Dakota legislature, a ban that makes no exception for rape and incest. I guess Mccain forgot that women vote, and they do not look kindly on males who show total disregard for their health issues.

McCain is kissing the ass of certified lunatics like Falwell. Eight years of a delusional religious fanatic like Bush is not enough for you? You want more of the same? Why do you hate America?

Matthews is on the American Taliban's payroll

He is just doing what he is being paid for: shilling for the psychopaths who are destroying this country.

Why watch his show at all? He is predictable, hence boring.

Jambo

What leads you to believe that the NEI info was correct? Because the White House said so? Of, course, it was based on erroneous information. That's why Joe Wilson debunked it.

Are you a troll in disguise?

Scotty the parrott

"We're not commenting on an ongoing legal proceeding," White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan told reporters.

Scotty sounds like a broken record...

Don't feed the trolls

Bush authorized the leaking of classified information for political gains. Acording to the trollery, that authorization amounts to a declassification. Hence Chimpy did not do anything wrong.

Yet Bush huffed, puffed, and ordered investigations into the leakages? He went so far as saying that leakers would no longer be working in his Administration...

I wish that, for once, the cretin-in-chief would put his money where his mouth is, and fire himself!

No, Ebonius, we do not hate your opinion.

You are too low a form of life for us to waste precious energy hating you.

Napoli has a case of the vapors

Imagine that! Bill Napoli is upset at getting insulted by enraged women!

No amount of obscenity will ever make up for his support of an abortion bill that makes no exception for rape, incest, and the health of the woman. No amount of obscenity will ever be great enough for a creature who clearly has sick fantasies of rape.

Napoli is a vicious lower form of life. Instead of calling him, write to his office in the SD legislature. Let him and his wife (what kind of a woman is she to live with such a detritus?)know what women think of him.

Disappointed in Weak Women

And what do you suggest we do? Cut Napoli's minuscule balls? Have him gang-raped by a bunch of bikers? That is unfortunately against the law.

The best that can be done is to expose that piece of crap for what he is: a pervert and a sadist who enjoys tormenting women.

The President

Bush is both dishonest and incompetent. And if Sy Hersh is correct about the latest saber-rattling about Iraq, Bush is also mentally ill. Nor is he alone in his madness: Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Condi are also certifiable.

Let us please throw the GOP out in November so that we can also throw out the entire Administration. That is, of course, if Bush and his goons have not started WWIII by then...

Scalia e pazzo

Yet another hint that Scalia is losing it...

Original article: A job for Tom DeLay?

Tom DeLay

I hope he gets the job. That would finally get people riled enough to call for Bush's resignation.

Unfortunately, it won't happen.

They are using him as the bogeyman. The incompetent, corrupt, crony, who gets the job will look good compared to DeLay.

Another retired officer calls for Rumsfeld to resign.

All these "retired" generals are three years late and a few billion dollars short.

Original article: Welcome to the war

Newt has not come around

Whatever he says, Newt has not come around on Iraq. He is trying to position himself for a return to public life.

I would not believe one word that comes out of Newt's mouth. Go back ten years and read about the abominations proposed by Newt, including putting children of poor people in orphanages.

He is the guy who served his cancer-stricken wife with divorce papers while she was in the hospital.

Newt is as vile and dishonest as DeLay.
