Original article: Time to think

A timeline?!?!

Holy shit, Trent(plasterhair) Lott is gonna set down some kind of deadline or timeline?

That's damn near unpatriotic and cut and run-ish! Say it ain't so you fuckin leach! How can you end the most righteous crusade ever?!?!

Original article: Is April the new September?

America stands silent

I just read a story about 2 soldiers who had their legs blown off by an RPG. How many more legs? For what?

It will end when we demand it, until then, more legs.

Original article: Why we fight?

And let me ask you one final question Mr Gates...

...If we brought the troops home from this hellhole and impeached the president and vice president for lying to America, do you think it would hurt our chances in 08?

That's the question they really wanted to ask.

Shut up and do something for this country already!

Will Mitt Romney's.....

...5, count em 5, military age sons lock arms and help rebuild our military or will it be the little people that have to do it again?

Surprise me Mitt!

Original article: Why it matters

Elephantman doesn't like Conyers...

...probably because he's another decorated military/war veteran democrat. I know, I know, he doesn't deserve the war medals and he was hiding behind some republican in a fox hole in Korea and he's a traitor and blah, blah, blah. We all know the drill well enough by now.

I hope Graham's right...

...cause that would mean we can come home now.....doesn't it?

Original article: Why we fight?

I'll get to the topic of Iraq...

...in the soon to be released book I'll be writing as soon as I leave. $29.95 to read how Bush forced me into supporting the invasion and occupation and how non of this was my fault.

Original article: We feel their pain

Who cares about the house?

As long as they hold on to a close edge in the senate, nothing gets done. Senators don't give a shit about reps. The house can be 99.9% democrat and it still wouldn't matter when it gets to the senate. Not enough to override a veto will be good enough for them.

The house republicans can cry all they want, who's listening.

Original article: Who's afraid of Ron Paul?

Ron Paul won both republican debates...

...because Ron Paul was the only true republican on the stage.

Original article: Edwards' insensitive move

Let's all shut up about the invasion and occupation for yet another day.

Let's just keep our mouths shut until the US armed forces are completely destroyed.

Go Edwards, go!

Friday, May 18, 2007 04:36 PM

LET'S GO ALREADY!!!!!

End this invasion and occupation!

You dems got elected this time to do just that and your failing us miserably.

Fuck Gonzales and all the small time stuff, do the big things first and take care of the chickenshit later for God's sake!

The Bible as a template for US history?

Lots of people like to equate the founding of the US on biblical teachings and our system of law on the ten commandments but if that's true then why are there laws in the US that are specifically written to guard against having to follow ANY of the ten commandments or any biblical teaching?

If anything seems to be in exact opposition to US law it would be the ten commandments.

Pick any commandment and you can find a US law that protects you from having to follow it. Murder? That's an easy one.

Come on now...

...that gun shot at Romney was funny.

It's also a pleasure to watch the GOP kick the shit out of each other for a change.

Original article: Is Rush Limbaugh right?

That's all well and good for now...

...because this topic eats up Rush's airtime and gives him another thing to complain about but when the republican and democratic conventions are over, a republican votes for a republican and a democrat votes for a democrat no matter what.

I may disagree almost completely with my party candidate but I'll never vote for the other side, simple as that, and I don't believe the majority of american voters are any different.

Immigration is just the topic du jour. Next month it will be abortion or gay rights or flag burning that Rush concerns himself with.

How many republicans do you think will vote for a democrat just because he didn't agree with their immigration position? That's right, none. Abortion and gay marriage are much better topics to flip out over anyway.

Original article: Memorial Day

Maybe Pace can hire someone...

...just like Tommy Thompson apparently must have done between debates to keep him up to speed on the number of dead americans.

I don't blame them though, the number changes so rapidly nowadays. It takes me almost 14 seconds every morning to get the latest number, these people just don't have that kind of time.

Original article: Quote of the Day

Steve...

...you keep hammering Rudy for not learning from his own mistakes...he became mayor in 94, didn't he? The first Trade Center attack happened in Feb. 93.

He would then have had to learn from Dinkins mistakes, wouldn't he?

Rudy's no fuckin prize but to the best of my recollection, he wasn't even mayor in 93.

Original article: "More troops, more targets"

Did Joe have the guts...

...to tell the troops he had lunch with, that he and the democrats just gave Lil Georgie Dumbass another huge bag of borrowed money to help keep them stuck in Iraq until the end of time?

Original article: Not exactly must-see TV

Anyone who watches Fox News...

...on a regular basis does not vote democratic and will not be voting for a democrat. Simple as that. Why would any self respecting candidate appear on the Fox network to be gamed when there's no upside?

Friday, June 1, 2007 07:36 AM

Are you sure it's Edwards plan...

...and not just Edwards that you don't like?

All this sounds like an excuse to take a shot at Edwards. Every point he made in his plan is valid. Or are we just supposed to do nothing because the list is too long?

Friday, June 1, 2007 07:42 AM

The hell with Bartlett

Let me know when Bush resigns.

That'll be a great birthday present for America.

Friday, June 1, 2007 07:57 AM

I finally figured it out!

This is the new Bush residence when he flees the country after the end of his term. He doesn't like our constitution very much so he's using our money to create a country in his image where he can live and rule for the remainder of his life.

Tuesday, June 5, 2007 08:02 AM

Edwards was right Sunday night.

And because he was right, I will not be voting for Hillary or Obama if they are nominated, no matter what. Bold leadership is what we need now and in the future not wimpy followers who cave in every time Bush says they aren't patriots.

No Obama, no Hillary, no way.
