That's how I guided my vote.....If it were based on say......Idon't know...IQ....he would have fared worse Just wondering, what university did you go to? Dubya went somewhere pretty high up there in the stratosphere and did fairly well. All this nonsense about him being a simpleton is propaganda by bitter lefties and nothing else.

Hey pegger, keep digging. When you can find billions and billions lost, wasted and used as payola, you might have something worth starting a thread over. $85 thousand and change? I'm impressed they spent so little.

I'd say Dubya has been the best since Reagan, but it's not easily evident what with the slanted playing field that 9/11, Iran, and Islam fanatics brought. Clinton did well but he was coasting downhill most of the way so it doesn't count as much.

This is not surprising, really. It's this same mentality that saw nothing wrong with dealing with the madman Saddam. Europe has allowed a threatening crisis grow within it's own borders, and now Mulsim protestors are realizing the power they wield. They are starting to engage in terrorist acts with increasing regularity. Much easier to ignore these threats and instead point fingers elsewhere.

Sorry, but I am not interested in mere propaganda. History speaks for itself. All the indian nations could do for their people was no match for what the modern world(at the time) was doing for it's people. The native story is now a mere footnote in history. Embrace today and join society. The past is the past, if you choose to carry it around with you it will be a very heavy burden.

I'm afraid you are falling prey to liberal thinking, my misguided friend. Changing history so it matches ones wishes is a sad old tradition that liberals have been practicing since their inception. Could be by about 300 years prior to natives(of which I have some heritage) doing the same. The truth is, whatever your system was, it was no match for those who came over to claim new land. Their superior education and technology rolled over North America. It was inevitible. One must change with the times or get left behind.

There's one more item to consider when discussing the CBC. They claim they are objective, and sneer at Fox as if they are the only biased news organization. It is this insistance of objectivity that reveals their true mindset: delusion.

Getting back to the topic of religious views on abortion, let's ask why it became a reality. Roe v Wade happened in '72. What was happening in the preceding years or decades that led up to this decision? "Free Love", that's what. A decade or so of sex without 'moral' restrictions and now what do we do with all the kids is the problem. Kids having kids, not ready for the responsibility, too hopped up on pot or booze or whatever, but were they sure ready for lovin'. Every action has a result and it just so happens that when you have sex, you might be making a baby. Instead of realizing what a mistake that generation was making and correcting it, they sued for the right to suck the life out of the womb. So typical in the age of the gland and the year of the pill. Reminds me of cigarette smoking. Getting yellow teeth and health problems? Don't stop, just buy smokers toothpaste and sue the manufacturers for your stupid decision to suck on a cancer stick.

Here's an update. It sounds like there was a plot to blow up the Mackinac bridge in Detroit. They say they were just buying to resell, but at 1000 phones, they spent over 20,000 when you include state tax. An enterprise that small wouldn't be able to let their product monopolize their revenue like that. Also, there is no way three guys can sell over 1000 phones in a reasonable business cycle. One report I read says they were collecting the phones for a higher up who paid them. Cell phones are ideal for remote detonation.

Well you see...that's where you're wrong. Lawyers cannot do anything for us because the reality is that your domestic courts are not eqipped or mandated to hear the matters of any of our disputes. Is this why the indian people who run blockades brandish guns and try to intimidate people, which is illegal in Canada and should be illegal in the indian nations?

It's beyond silly. Every time a new development goes up, the native lawyers run for the maps to see which band can protest, or hold the land in question at ransom until they get a big piece of the action.

Here's a thought: Why should what Mel mutters to an officer while being arrested drunk be leaked to media just because he's famous. I'm sure many people have said much worse under the same circumstances. I'll guarantee you the word nigger has come up in the south to a black officer. As a citizen he has the same rights as everybody else. Some bitter person in the police station probably leaked it and it's not right. Yes, what Mel did was wrong, but it was to an officer in private.

That's odd, I just tried my link and it worked fine.

Uh, no I don't know who leahy is and if you examine my remarks you will find I did not call him anything. Your link doesn't work so I wasn't able to see what you're talking about. Here's a link from MSNBC that talks about the previous log jam in the Senate that apparently Leahy knows nothing about. The deal they made in that story still left many in "limbo" and preserved filibuster rules.

I am sure that Bin Ladin and crowd are big supporters of Bush. They need a US who is willing to play the role of bully and bad guy in the Islamic world. A less trigger happy adminstration would provide fewer recruiting opportunities for them. I am sure you are wrong. They would much rather have someone in the oval office who is a wet noodle rather than someone who doesn't take sh@t from those who fly planes into buildings. Bin Laden would rather have someone in the UN mold like Bill Clinton who signed a Nuclear treaty with North Korea around '95, paying them much cash to not develop nuclear weapons. And we now know how that turned out.

I believe they call it a filibuster. Even though the Dems have a minority in the Senate they have been succesful in stopping most of Bush's nominations(dozens) from being voted on for many years, by filibustering. A majority of I believe 60 seats in the senate would force a vote on these nominations.

Since it's traditional, it's not so new. But it could be an interesting electoral season. I was hoping the Republicans could squeeze a few more seats out of the senate and get a majority of 60, which I believe is the threshold to force votes on things like judge appointments which the Dems have had stalled for several years. The Republicans could lose seats, or the best laid plans of terrorists could end up helping Bush. Poetic justice if you ask me.

"One man was driving while the other two were in the back opening the phone packages with box cutters throwing the phones in one box, batteries in another and the packaging and phone charger in another container. The suspects had 1000 other cell phones in the van. There was also a bag of receipts showing that someone was in Wisconsin the day before." This can not be good.

People on both sides have hopes for the polling numbers. Dems hope people assume this latest threat proves the U.S. has lost the war on terrorism and drop Bush like a cheap lawn chair. And Republicans hope people assume Bush is keeping the country safe and support him. Whats new.

The Jewish children or the Lebanese children?

And he vows to run as an independant. I'd like to see him take a run at the oval office. That would pretty much sink whoever the Dems put up.

Funny thing, this. The discussion has moved(over several years) from where does it say in the bible being gay is wrong to where does it say in the New Testament to where does Jesus say being gay is wrong. Next it'll be where does Jesus say it on a Sabbath. Look, you're really not interested in whether the bible is against it or not, why bother asking. To some others, you really don't want to play the Jesus says game, as if you'll believe its wrong if only it can be shown he said being gay is wrong. Because He says plenty about the selfish, greedy, lying, proud people we have become and if you think he's only about love and forgiveness you haven't read all of His comments in the Bible. And finally Bubber's latest post: You've gotta be kidding me. Personally I think you are too smart to actually believe that passage is promoting gaydom. You're just jerking the chain as usual.

How many other ficticious smoke plumes have we seen? How many other flares have been copied? We must know the truth! Knowing the truth is always better than knowing a lie. Last week it was reported that 40 civilians were killed in an Israeli bomb attack. That, for instance was a lie. The mayor of the town involved has now himself admitted only one was killed. P.S. The MSM means mainstream media, shakyhands.

I heard on the supper hour Gobal Newscast that it was the website little green footballs that broke the doctored photos story initially. Apparently they struck a nerve. A Reuters employee has been suspended after sending a death threat to Charles Johnson, the owner of little green footballs. "I look forward to the day when you pigs get you throats cut." These people just can't help but reveal their true racist hatred. Give them enough time and even the MSM will realize it.

If you believe the bible has contraditions, I guess that is your business. To me, either something is right or wrong, even with extenuating circumstances. If someone wrongs someone else even if it's in another country, it's still either right or wrong. What those two priests are doing is wrong. I'm not passing God's judgement on them, I'm just saying they are out of line with God's truth as laid out in the Bible.
