Here come the so called "moderate democrats"...
Just what we need when we finally have the chance to get some progressive legislation enacted.
Keep an eye out for this disease to spread to the rest as they all start to bow down to the wishes of the right as usual.
She needs to make sure that guy with the cell phone also is not carrying any granite counter tops around with him either!
THEY SHOULD STOP GIVING HER ATTENTION BY READING HER GARBAGE!
But your points are anything but rational....
There is no comparison between a few cells in a dish and a premature baby with a developed brain. Sorry.
Also, most of the embryos used in the research would likely be thrown in the trash... But you guys always forget that fact when having "rational debate". If you had taken the time to read the article instead of knee-jerking to the title - you might have read that.
Duh...
...Are not really a huge problem...
I guess Congress people who are supposed to bring federal funds home tho their respective districts, should just ignore things like roads, government buildings, jobs etc... that so called "earmarks" help create... Sure not all earmarks are good - but they are part of the legislative process. Earmarks are NOT what got us into this mess - and the only reason anybody cares about them now is because McCain ran his entire campaign on them - and the republican party needs SOMETHING to whine about.
GET OVER IT.
... he is your relative - but I do take issue with your defense of him as a person....
The saying you can't pick your relatives comes to mind...
Fact is - your cousin is a vile, disgusting person - so are many other folks' relatives. Some make excuses for them, some don't.
Don't make excuses for him and defend him if you don't want to be associated with him. It's your defense of him that makes us wonder.
Lets see...
Should we also remember that the previous occupant in chief liked to trot out military personnel as backdrops for explicit political appearances?
At least our new prez avoids using the troops as props.
Nuff said.
Do we really need an article about Hannah Montana on Salon?
Hannah Montana, Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan etc... represent the worst kind of garbage marketing to children. Maybe we don't need a world where every little girl is also a little consumer in training.
Do these morons have any idea what a hole Texas will become on it's own?
It already has the country's worst educational system. Maybe Mexico can reclaim their lost territory?
...elements of Nazi Germany sitting around discussing the efficacy of torture in much the same way. Dr. Mengele would be proud.
Why don't we allow cops to preemptively confiscate all firearms? That would likely prevent far more deaths than torturing "terrorists". Let's also allow search and seizure without those pesky warrants. Much less harmful than torture.
Under this line of thinking - I think all firearms should be banned - that would sure save a lot of lives!
When we have a suspected murderer in custody - just waterboard him to get a confession! That will hold up in a court of law!
No Sympathy eh?
What if it was your son or daughter? The concept of execution over narcotics transportation is absolutely insane.
This is a 20 year old woman, pregnant (likely from laotian prison guard / rape) and now they want to put her to death for being a drug mule.
People make mistakes, they should not have to pay with their lives for a mistakes this small.
People are going to do heroin and other drugs anyway - you think putting her to death is going to save some junkies? Get real, and grow up.
They would make a hit movie about it like Midnight Express...
Give me a break - it has nothing to do with "anti-feminism".
And they guy in Midnight Express was just sent to prison - he was not under threat of execution.
Just put yourself in somebody else's shoes for change.
You should feel sorry for her because most of the world's drug laws are draconian.
She should not be subject to the death penalty for a drug charge - period. I'd feel exactly the same way if she were a he.
Yes heroin is "bad" but people know it's bad and do it anyway... It's your body, you should be able to do what you will with it.
Far fewer people would die as a result of the drug trade if it were just made legal and regulated.
Wow...
Do you really have to troll the Star Trek review comments too??
Maybe you should get out a little more.
Sad.
Maybe Liberal talk radio failed because people on the "left" don't need to be programmed on a daily basis by a bunch of shysters using us to get rich.
Do you really thin Mr. Medved gives a shit what you think or feel?
The expanding influence of "conservative" talk radio is nothing more than continued evidence of how sheeplike and stupid most of "conservative" America has become.
And to the other trollz on this board talking about how "libruls" were calling for Shrub's termination before... You folks have been calling the left traitors, communists, and what have you since Clinton. Hey look out - Clinton's penis is going to ruin our Moral Values! Impeach him over a Blow Job!
I think starting illegal wars, murdering both American Troops and Iraqi civilians in the process is a pretty good reason to call for somebody's impeachment if not their assassination. But to suggest there is some equivalence in calling for the murder of Nancy Pelosi because you disagree with her financial policy platform after 8 years of Bush Jr. Spending like a drunken, brush cutting sailor... well - I hope you see my point.
And as usual - the rethuglican defense for everything is "they did it first"!
