I see, we'll just pass the debt on to another generation.

I guess its nice being old, and not have to worry about where the money
is comming from. Whats in my pocket today stays there.

You didn't want to do anything about it four years ago so what is your
problem now. I hope it lasts another 1000 years, it being war, economic
disaster, extreme waste, corruption, and bunches more neo-con shyte. The
important thing is for the over-fed elite to be comfy with their
ill-begotten gains.

I could not find any relevant definition for "ill-begotten gains", and
indeed only one slightly credible definition for "ill-begotten" that has
a referent to parentage. Perhaps you wanted another word?

ill-gotten perhaps? since money breeds money, maybe ill-begotten is a
reasonable metaphor...

You're a goddamned idiot if your memory is so short that you do not
know why we are over there, warpussy.

WMD...No. That's not right. Nigerian yellowcake. Nope, not that either.
Al Qaida. Not until after we made the country lawless enough for their
liking.

I give up. What was the reason?

And where is Osama?

subpoena members of the Executive Branch?

Or, for that matter subpoena anyone, COURTS issue subpoenas, NOT
legislative bodies.

If this goes to the Supreme Court, Congress will lose ;-)

Inferior only means that decisions can be appealed to the Supreme Court.
It doesn't mean they can't hold hearings.

Bush is a far cry from the kind of president Jefferson was.

I haven't seen a real statesman since Kennedy.


Read this:

http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Side-Came...38389&sr= 1-3

JFK was a charismatic, diseased, sex-addicted bungler who almost got
the world incinerated.

"Charismatic" seems to be enough to impress some people.

In the long run, history may be kinder to W than to JFK.

I doubt it matters who wins... this country is going down the drain and no
amount of calling for "change" can change that(specially when you have no
clue what you want to change for). All this mess started rolling in the
60's and its just getting worse.

Everything things they have the right to screw the next person, they can
play god, that they deserve a better life just for being american(and there
idea of a better life is to sit on their asses without contributing). It
can't last, its mathematically impossible. Barack calls for change but he
has no idea what he wants to change too. I believe he's just another
con(just look at this "pep rallies".. are we electing a prom king or a
president?) put people senset his inevitability about our country.

We should have the best and brightest to choose for president but what do we
have instead? What can you expect from a nation of morons? When the
average citizen cannot multiply much less solve a simple algebraic equation.


To me, Barack is a 50-50 shot... he either will screw the country up
completely or he will do some good. I think with McCain, its the same old
****... except with a jalapeno flavor. People want change but as usuall they
don't want to do what is necessary to make it happen... hell, they don't
know what change they want and this is why barack is so appealing to so
many.

In any case, doesn't matter to much cause neither you nor me or anyone else
reading this post has any real say so in what's going to happen. I suggest
you hedge your bets just incase though because if past history is any
indicator of the the future then don't have much farther to go.

one, wherein the sex of the President is clearly 'defined'.

When that was written, women had the legal status of children. Although
the Nineteenth Amendment specifies only voting rights, it has been held
to include qualification for elected office, so there have been no
challenges to female candidates for Congress based on the masculine
pronouns in Article I. Any attempt to challenge Hillary's elegibility
based on Article II would be as silly as the attempt to paint Obama as a
crypto-Muslim, and would probably result in the quickest Supreme Court
