"This would make all the current Repugs in congress SHEEP - by your analogy. Cheers!

Posted by parrots7 at 02:27 PM : Sep 26, 2007"

I would rather that all members of congress; Senators and Reps alike, represent the PEOPLE and not the party. Seems to be the DIMocrats credo to follow party over good sense or popular opinion. They''re the party most likely to get a unanimous. The republicans tend to disagree with each other as needs dictate. This is a good thing; it builds strength and affects change. The DIMcrats are pretty much proven party biased. Not a good thing. They go along with the party even when in the wrong. Baird is stepping off the bandwagon and do his job.

"The Semites are LOVERS of vengeance and violence. They have been ethnically cleansing and slaughtering each other for over 3 thousand years."

Some Semites were. The Assyrians, for instance.

Not the Jews. The Jews'' ancestors never exterminated anyone. They have never committed genocide.

Those bloody tales in the Book of Joshua and elsewhere, were pure fiction.

The ancestors of Jerry Seinfeld and Natalie Portman never did such things. They were peaceful industrious people.

Parties are groups with similar ideas and beliefs. Why are the Dems so mad because someone does not believe like them on every issue? Good for him for standing up for his beliefs.

I mean, for a perfect example; who has actually documented one lie that Bush is supposed to have told?Posted by pwrslm at 12:02 PM : Sep 26, 2007


The media
Surely you jest? How about the lie in 2004 where Bush said he absolutely was NOT wiretapping without a warrant? how about him speaking about yellowcake at least 2 weeks AFTER the CIA told him the source was bogus? What about him saying no one discussed the levies and then the video showing him at the Katrian meeting looking like a deer in headlights while the levees were discussed? Or how about him saying that Bin Laden would be captured in 2001, saying He did not think much about Bin Laden in 2004, Vowing that Bin Laden was of the utmost priority in 9/2006 and 2 weeks later stating again that honestly Bin Laden was NOT a priority of the war on terror. Or maybe Bush saying his Administration had never said they wanted to "stay the course" and then the examples for the past 3 years of him and others saying that over and over again. Then there was his promise to fire all CIA leakers, That Saddam was linked to 9/11, that the US was not involved in renditions, you really would have done better to have us quote when he did not lie. That would take up less space.

really--what exactly is YOUR definition of a lie? Because Bush has told sooo many , that the standing joke about him is that any time his lips are moving--it is a lie.

"Agnim:

What is your point? And above all, what do you think that should be done to fix the problem?
Posted by nikosk1 at 02:10 PM : Sep 26, 2007"

The "point" is to wake the town and shake Americans out of their slumber and the Middle East morass!

The Semites are LOVERS of vengeance and violence. They have been ethnically cleansing and slaughtering each other for over 3 thousand years.

Americans should not want to be a part of the Semites love and thirst for endless, generations-old bloodletting in the Middle East.
It is doing us and the world no good!

That''s typical for politics today. How dare a politician make an informed decision based on personal experience rather than what is spoon fed! The same applies to the Republican who does his own footwork and comes away understanding the healthcare issue or global warming issue based on his own observations. No one in politics is supposed to gravitate to the center, where most Americans want issues to be addressed, as is illustrated in this report. He did what every single politician should be doing and got off his a...ss and checked out something for himself and discovered the media wasn''t being unbiased and his information had been diluted. Good for him and shame on all those who aren''t doing the same thing, whether it''s looking into the illegal immigration problem, healthcare crisis, high cost of energy, or any of the other 5 or 6 hot button issues on the platform now. As voters we ought to be holding all the other representatives in office to the same standard...get off your a...ss and go look for yourself!!! I hope he knows there is an entirely different group of people who don''t subscribe blindly to one party or the other who are very pleased with his decision, even if it isn''t something we support. The fact that he exercised his right based on what HE observed, and not on what he was TOLD, speaks volumes to the character and integrity of this man.

CRUCIFIXION! American version

BARABBAS -- Mass murdering US President with his HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DEAD BODIES IN IRAQ!

JESUS -- Talkative Iran Preeacher with his hundreds of MERE WORDS!

And the violence-loving Jews AGAIN yelled, "Crucify him!"
"Crucify him!"

"Crucify amadenijad, the WORDSMITH!"

"And give us bush, the MASS MURDERER!"

Some things never seem to change with the Jews. LOL

Message?
Americans, save yourselves from the wicked & wanton slaughter!
Extricate yourselves from the Middle East madness of endless vengeance and violence, which has been going on among Middle East war lovers for thousands of years now!
