I'd probably respect him more if he actually allowed the entire spectrum of the American populace to attend his speaking engagements, rather than just his most rabid supporters. Then at least I'd see he had the courage of his convictions, and was willing to face a hostile crowd and try to...

Right-wingers regularly addressed Clinton at speaking engagements. He listened, then responded to them politely. He apparently isn't a dainty and delicate flower like Dubya, who seemingly will get the vapors if faced with any sort of intellectual opposition. Clinton also understood that he was...

For all those who still think Bush is a tough guy with a clear grasp of reality, who can take criticism and deal with those who disagree with him: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/21/AR2007082101662.html By Peter Baker Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, August...

I think you've given a very accurate and concise overview of the Republican/Neo-Con take on the Plame matter. Very well done. However, it points out two essential flaws in their outlook: (1) Wilson didn't lie. He never lied. There was no Nigerian yellowcake. Events have completely supported...

Ummmm.....these links say the exact same thing that the earlier poster was saying. Maher didn't say that Cheney should die in a terrorist attack. He and his panel were talking about someone else saying that. On the other hand, Coulter has made any number of hateful and offensive remarks --...

What he said -- thank you for your service. However, you must admit he died in part so that she would have the right to express her grief as she sees fit, and to demand accountability from her leaders for his death. Also, to assume what he would think about his mother's reaction to his death...

Well, the soldiers are public servants, and they are over there trying to achieve the geopolitical goals of the Bush administration, so of course their deaths are political. Whether or not they agreed with it, these soldiers are dying in pursuit of a geopolitical policy. If you think naming the...

I read this and just shook my head, thinking how the right-wingers talk so big about supporting our troops even as they send them back into the meat grinder over and over again. You want to support our troops, either initiate a draft to get them more help or shut down the Iraq War and get them...

Is there anything the Bush Administration does right? And before the trolls can respond: yes, I understand that holding the folks in power responsible for things that go on during their watch is completely unfair and deluded.....if they are Republican...

Nnnnnno. Don't think I'll be doing that. He was a truly evil creep.

http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/5535.html BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Bill O'Reilly may proclaim at the beginning of his program that viewers are entering the "No Spin Zone," but a new study by Indiana University media researchers found that the Fox News personality consistently paints certain...

Kerry applied the same standards to the war on terror during the presidential campaign, saying he felt that terrorism is a law-enforcement issue that can never be eliminated but should be reduced until it's nothing more than a "nuisance." That statement prompted loud and long howls of...

Bushie boy wouldn't even need this extra money if he hadn't been playing games with the U.S. budget all these years, treating the war as a separate expenditure rather than folding it into the comprehensive budget. Repubs let him get away with that tactic forever, so they could mask the cost of...

I like the fact that you're trying to belittle hypocrisy as a means of judging the performance of the Republican Party. Don't you believe hypocrisy is a fair measure, particularly of people who tend to demonize their opponents as morally unfit? If you're going to take the moral high ground...

In what way? Explain please!

Posting this to see what your thoughts are on it. The article mirrors many of my observations regarding where this country is headed under the Bush Administration. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2064157,00.html Last autumn, there was a military coup in Thailand. The leaders of the...

My point exactly. He spends like a drunken sailor, his Repub lackeys in Congress go along with it, and none of them have the guts to raise taxes to pay for the spending -- which you yourself admit is far outstripping revenue. Your modern Republican Party is the party of borrow-and-spend, drunk...

That used to be true. Now he's swilling the kool-aid at an amazing rate.

Actually, at least Democrats raise taxes to pay for what they're spending. The Republican Party just puts it all on the charge account, spending with the financial acumen of a Jerry Springer regular.

Actually, I don't think that what Pelosi did is wrong. As part of a co-equal branch of government, she has an obligation to travel, educate herself and meet world leaders. Something that other members of Congress, both Repubs and Democrats, have also done this week. I think that what Gingrich...
