shcb, I have pointed to research showing demonstrable lies by bush and his cabinet (to the tune of 260 lies from gwb alone) that led us into the Iraq War. You simply won’t believe any of these lies are, well, lies. Politicians lie. It is like air to them. Yet bush is jes a decent guy, some dude you’d like to have a beer with. He’d never lie! Why? You just believe it and it is so. He is possibly the worst president of the last 100 years. Too late to impeach w. But I am hoping war crimes trials will bring the worst of it into the light.

I love that your big funny example at the end is where you scream at the TV to have someone shoot a ‘bad guy’ cuz he is ‘backing up traffic’ har har har!

Murder and mayhem is just too much a part of rwnj ‘thinking’.

This thread had run its short lived life, Steve brought up impeachment, sorry but I can’t let that just hang there. No one can give me a reason for impeachment and no one can give me a lie Bush told in the run up to this war. Why? Because he is a decent man doing the best job he can. You guys may not like him or what he has done, but I’m not going to let you trash him without reason. I try and stay on topic as much as possible. I will shut up for two days on this thread if that will make you happy unless someone comments on something off topic (this and your comment excluded of course). All I ask is you guys give me a lie or a reason for impeachment or shut up about it. I can understand your frustration, there are times when I am watching one of those reality cop shows and the sniper has the bad guy in his sight and the negotiator won’t let him kill the guy, I’m yelling at the television, “shoot, shoot” and my wife will calmly say, “they can’t kill the guy unless there is no other option”. I know she is right but hell man, the guy is backing up traffic.

It appears that people would rather throw stones at each other over the same topics, using the same points.

No wonder political discourse in general is so counter-productive.

Now, thanks to Steve I can redirect.

Why is everyone so wrapped up in the Obama Hillary thing? The real race is still underway on the Republican side, with Ron Paul gaining momentum like never before. Why, he’s even got a movie now. I watched the trailer, it’s fantastic, even shcb will love it:

Via jbc, Mark Kleiman feels the story has been debunked by this report — “Anatomy of a Leak: What We Know about NAFTA-Gate” by the CBC’s Neil MacDonald. One of the key passages is here:”DeMora, it turned out, did not write his summary until five d…

Claiming to evaluate someone’s empathy as a criteria for a judge != shredding Constitution

additionally, not impeaching Bush == shredding Constitution

… thread derailed?

We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old–and that’s the criterion by which I’ll be selecting my judges.

Ed Whelan writes “So much for the judicial virtue of dispassion. So much for a craft of judging that is distinct from politics.” Those may be good qualities for congressmen, but not judges. Things that make you go hmmm.

However, the notion that a black man with the name Barck (muslim middle-name) Obama somehow gives him an advantage running for president of the USA is even funnier.

It’s an anecdotal reference to support my thoughts, I grant you, but I remember reading an editorial from a twenty-something democratic voter who was saying that, even though he felt there was a lot of similarity in the policies of Clinton and Obama, that if Obama didn’t get the nomination the voter would feel like the political process would be a huge letdown to the point that he would be discouraged from engaging in the process. The excitement of being part of something radical would not be there. So, if this person admits, in his own mind, that there are mostly similarities between candidates in terms of their stances on the significant issues, then what is it that is the big differentiator? What makes Obama the big radical change over Clinton?

Would his race be considered a significant part of what he represents, that attracts democratic voters and political fence-sitters toward him? I think, to be honest in assessing his appeal, it has to be more than some inconsequential factor.

If Obama can squeeze a narrow victory out of PA, the nomination is his. Doesn’t look good from the numbers, but I like that he is staying on the high road. She is burnig her bridges with Obama supporters (tho I’d still hold my nose and vote for Hillary over McSame)

Oh and Eliot Spitzer? at least he had the good graces to resign (unlike Vitter and other rwnj sleaze) Count out another Clinton super-delegate (and big backer, that should be worth a few votes in PA?).
