    Conservative means to conserve. Reform means to renew. These two seem to be somewhat opposite to each other. Somewhat like intelligence and George HMM Bush.What else do you have to proclaim? That the earth is flat?

    Great idea, that would bring Nancy Pelosi into the White House. However I would feel sorry for her, what a mess to clean up!

    No voter fraud? You mean not enough? Malfunctioning voting machines, phone calls announcing polling station changes,threats of arrest, intimidation at the polling stations, etc, what would you call that? Karl did not quite make it this time. And your idol George had to let Rumsfeld go,with cheers from those opposed to your viewpoint. The war in Iraq is a mess like never before. Be happy that a majority of people did not share your twisted ideas and that sanity is returning to the affairs of the state.Your declaration of happiness over the democratic process sounds a bit hollow and even dejected, but is welcome just the same, there seems to be hope for you yet.

  • My condolences

    Did Osama bin Laden get cought yesterday by any chance? The cause in Afghanistan was lost with the invasion of Iraq. It is now almost 4 years later and the Taliban are getting stronger with weapons sold to them by the former northern alliance who got them from the US. The soldiers cannot be blamed if the situation deteriorates. Again, there were not enough of them to do the job properly, thanks to Rumsfeld. And the great decider in Washington preferred to start an illegal war elsewhere. Again the troops are doing what is expected of them, in spite of the fact that a lot of them question the leadership in Washington. And please remember that a much larger invading force in Afghanistan had to withdraw after 10 years with the result of the collapse of their country. The election of November 7 hopefully prevented a similar fate here.

    Anyone who believes in this nonsense believes anything a good liar or even a lousy one like GWB tells him. Yeah right, the earth is 6000 years (or so) old, it was created flat in 7 days one of which had to be a day of rest due to exhaustion of the creator, men and dinosaurs lived together even though the latter were not mentioned in the book of assumptions and lies. Right on! GLAD TO BE AN ATHEIST

    Switching channels yesterday (Sunday) morning I noticed a certain Mr. Swaggard almost half crying preaching with closed eyes before a huge map of the Middle East about the imminent return of Jesus and the bottomless pit with Satan in it, that was when I had enough. Checkin back to show my wife his scaring people about 15 minutes before the hour, I found a very different(eyes wide open) Jimmy peddling his version of the bible and an explanation volume for amounts up to $ 100 and free shipping and handling with a $ 5 extra charge for American Express instant delivery. Donation cheefully accepted for 25 % of his time slot, while Satan is roasting in his "bottomless" pit. If this garbage is the true meaning of the Evangelistas ( excluding the model Linda and her kin)"religious" belief, I am not surprised that lying seems to come with the territory. It explains a lot of the born again ideology a la GWB.

    I have to agree that Osama bin Laden deserves a trial, but before you can do that you got to catch him. Rumsfeld as well as Bush, Wolfowitz etc. hang around in the US. And creating an illegal war on Isreals behalf with the resulting losses of life, torture etc.etc. illegal wire tapping, etc.etc.etc. is just as criminal and deserving warcrimes trials as well. And as a result of this war there were thousands upon thousands new terrorists created,just another crime that needs trials. Afterall what is good for the goose should be good for the gander.

    Joe Liebermans stand on the illegal war in Iraq coincides with that of the likes of Frum, Wolfowitz, Perle and many more whose main interest seems to be the protection of the Zionist state. Parties dont really matter for theese guys, so why would anyone be surprised id good old Joe switches?
