Funny that the only Administration and military folks disagreeing with the Liar-In-Chief are either retired or ex-employees.

I guess working for aholes like Bush and Cheney will do that.

We'd better vote for the Dems next Election. It will take years to clean up the mess that Bush will leave and a Repuke Administration cannot be counted upon to put things right.

Listening to these guys is enough to convince any thinking person that the GOP must not be allowed back into power unless they get rid of their sword-rattling mullahs and the war mongering Religious Right.

If eight years of Bush hasn't convinced folks nothing will.

When The Idiot proclaimed Iran to be a member of his "Axis of evil" and then proceeded to invade Iraq, Iran reacted accordingly.

Bush can blame himself for Iran's reaction.

We'll see the Christian Right push aside its values and principles to ensure that a Republican is elected.

Never mind that the candidate has violated the moral preachings of the Christian Right. Those values are expendable in the fight for the presidency.

The Republican motto ought to read: "The Party first, the country second".

If the White House is an example of American government we are in deep, deep trouble.

Where did they get this Dana person? Did a local whorehouse go out of business?

So predictable. Tsk.

about just how far Republicans are willing to go to protect their behinds.

Hillary was too polite when she referred to the "right wing conspiracy" in America.

I'd say our enemies are right here, at home. Never mind Castro or (the late) Saddam.

I've often wondered at the appeal of killing animals for pleasure. How can someone fire a bullet into a living creature and derive pleasure from it?

If one must kill for food, OK. But to kill for fun? Sounds pretty sick to me.

I don't know any hunters and if I did I would avoid them. Being around people like that makes me very uncomfortable.

As a society we don't tolerate cruelty to dogs, cats, or our pets but we don't seem to mind someone using a high-powered rifle to blast a hole into a wild animal.

Cheney disgusts me for many reasons and his love of killing animals is just icing on the cake.

Regurgitating (sp?) the same old crap about stuff less important than the real problems facing us.

Oddly, a large percentage of Americans actually believe that the "Islamists" are capable of launching an invasion of the USA or sending ICBMs loaded with multi-megaton warheads. (34% of Americans believe that ghosts exist!).

They forget that the people responsible for the attacks on 9/11 used box cutters. Not nukes.

The Democrats have so many issues that they can campaign on that they are in danger of losing peoples' attention because the average American cannot comprehend complex issues or ideas. KISS really applies here and the Dems had better simplify their message or risk losing the Election.

This is another example of the type of government we can expect from Bush, Cheney and the Republican Party.

I could see this coming from the tone of the 2000 elections. Bush was campaigning as a parrot, probably not fully understanding what he was told to say. Cheney and his army of ultra-right wing war-defectors were busy in the background engineering smear campaigns and possibly even voting fraud and writing scripts for the mentally-challenged Bush.

The Democrats can break the back of the Republican Party merely by presenting a cohesive picture including the scandals, criminal convictions, lies, smear campaigns, and the hypocrisy of Republicans persuing the "Christian vote".

This "picture", if properly and consistently presented to voters, should ensure that they have a very clear idea as to what (or whom) they should not vote for.

Then, the Democrats should decide what they are for, and to get busy selling that to the voters.

that the left and the right will move farther apart and extreme issues will dominate political discourse.

Everything we do is subject to "more is better". More horsepower, bigger homes, and more violence in movies. This is human nature. Politics is no different. We're seeing it play out, especially during the Bush presidency where truth and fairness seems to be "fair game" and nothing more than pieces on a political chessboard.

I do not believe that the left and the right will move to the middle. I believe that the left and the right will continue to move farther apart, like Congress, like the Supreme Court.

Other than Obama, is there anyone seriously espousing compromise between Democrats and Republicans?

A house divided will fall, and our house is divided.

If it comes from Bush or Cheney, it can't be good.

A listing of this Administration's questionable, illegal, ill-advised, divisive, and downright ugly antics should be drawn up and etched in granite for all to see.

How many times did Cheney request deferment from military service?

How many lies, half-truths, exaggerations did he present in the runup to the Iraq invasion?

How did Libby get into trouble if not by following orders from Cheney?

Anyone approving of Cheney is in the lower 10 percentile, intelligence-wise.

Remember the big to do when Cheney refused to divulge what was discussed during his meetings with the oil industry?

After watching Cheney's antics over the past few years I cannot believe that Cheney had our best interests at heart when these meetings took place.

Personally, I like the idea that oil is more expensive. It drives conservation.

What I don't like is Cheney's secrecy and the feeling that profit is the real motive here - along with Republican corruption ensuring big oil profits at the expense of the consumer.
