You forgot Tom DeLay.

Many of us learned only recently that one of our classmates was killed at the Pentagon. It's very odd that it wasn't more talked of at the time - if at all - and I'm not sure how it was overlooked. I was totally surprised and saddened. I lost friends at both WTC and the Pentagon, and learning within the past two months of a "new" loss just brought it back almost like it was 2001 again. Sigh,

Try not to be an ****. It's not me. If it was, you'd know because the Mods track IP addresses.

I'm not sure he was murdered so much because of his position on abortion as the guy who shot at him is a freaking jerk. He went on to kill someone else and was looking for a third person to off when he was caught...the latter two having nothing to do with abortion. From what I've read and heard so far, this guy was just pissed off in general. Arguably if he'd seen an annoying bumper sticker or bad hair he might have shot at those people as well. The victim was apparently a fixture in the town and didn't bother anyone. He certainly didn't deserve to be murdered.

I pay taxes, have an excellent credit score, don't owe anyone anything, put my own kid thru college, along with myself (3 degrees) and my husband worked his way thru via the USMC and the GI bill. And because we voted for Obama we are "liberal freeloaders". Well isn't that interesting.

OMG YOU MEAN AN INSURANCE COMPANY WHOSE GRAVY TRAIN MAY BE DRYING UP THINKS THAT OBAMA'S PLAN ISN'T GOOD? Oh the horror....the horror. Did you ever read the story about the former health insurance CEO who went to see Sicko prepared take notes to debunk it...and couldn't in all honesty find anything inaccurate? The guy who ended up leaving his cushy CEO job because his conscience got to him? No? Of course not.

hmm let's see. Yesterday no-one knew who the f--- Joe Wilson was. Today, he's a trending topic on Twitter. "Mission Accomplished". Ya think?

So then when they get hit by a bus or diagnosed with a terrible disease, it's implied that we can leave them to die right? Or are you going to send in a check? Or, their families could go bankrupt paying for their care....and are you going to send them a check? I would rather THEY pay. Tell me - how do you feel about having to insure your automobile? I haven't seen you raising a ruckus over THAT.

It was only a matter of time.

Please do not be reasonable and make sensible statements. There is no place for that on this board. In the grand scheme of things this is indeed a blip, and the people who are making such a fuss out of it only look petty and silly for doing so. IMHO.

You're such a dipshirt. I don't know if any of these guys are CRIMINAL because they're not convicted. But if they did what they are accused of doing, they are either arrogant to think they won't get caught, or they think the voters are freaking stupid. Marion Berry's back in office. Tom DeLay is dancing with stars. Elliott Spitzer is not in jail and is teaching law. I rest my case. Yet the wingnuts prefer to mount personal attacks, just because that's all they know how to do, because extreme partisanship is programmed into their little teeny tiny pinheads and that's all they know. But, whatever. This can be ya'lls little circle-jerk thread du jour, I know you get really frustrated without at least one going on.

I have no idea what you're talking about, unless you're admitting that the Grand and Glorious Ronnie fuccked that up too. In addition to letting 243 Marines get blown to bits in Lebanon without much reprisal, he dropped a few bombs on Tripoli and said a few incendiary words after Lockerbie too. Saint Ronnie after all perfected the GOP's practice of "lowering the bar", where you talk tough but only pick fights you can win like our glorious victories in Grenada and Panama. I don't know where you get your ideas of what "liberals" think - we don't have a problem with defending our country and its citizens any more than people of other idealogies. Unlike wingnuts though, we don't see a need to invade countries merely because we don't like their religion or their leader. We think it makes more sense to go after the people who actually done us wrong...instead of kicking sand in the faces of those we think we can beat.

Gee, now what? Seems like Laura Bush thinks Obama's doing ok all things considered, and does not like the partisan rancor. So now what do the wingnuts do?

TRULY HORRIBLE CULT WORSHIP BRAINWASHING and TREASON

Gaddafi said he was sorry a few years back. So that was supposed to take care of it I suppose. I don't know why the F he's being allowed to enter the US for his visit to the UN. We let the nutjob from Iran in, but he didn't to my knowledge blow up anything that killed a bunch of innocent people. The day they let this jerk leave Scotland CNN had one of the parents of the Syracuse University victims on and she was claiming that this was all part of an "oil conspiracy". At the time I thought she was a little whack - obviously she was right. My friend's daughter died on that plane. The US should have bombed Libya into the stone age.

What did anyone expect? I am sure the birthers and teabaggers will got thru it with a fine-toothed comb only to discover that if you extract every [nth] letter (pick on) those letters will combine to lay out his socialist agenda in a "subliminable" message.

I appreciate the compliment. It complements my already plesant Sunday morning nicely

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Now THERE is one I didn't hear yet. Birthers, move over! PS who is "they"? is it the same "they" that the media cites when reporting that "some say"?

"What planet are YOU living on". I think you're joking. Right? Because if not - That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. Today, at last. Because in order to qualify for Medicaid you have to be pretty damned poor. So in other words, I should blow all my money, lose my house and get into some low-income housing (subsidized no doubt by taxpayers) toss in a few food stamps etc and THEN I can also get MEDICAID? And if it doesn't cover me, I'll call 911 when I'm sick, or go to the ER and clog that up. Dang that makes sense - why would we want to reform a system that is so wise. I can see now how stupid I've been paying into my 401k since I was 21, that I never had a debt outside my mortgage, that I took out my own long-term care policy, that I pay all my bills on time and can even afford to send my own kid to college and still afford give money to charity. Why should I be willing to use some of my own income to purchase health-care coverage when I can leech off the taxpayer?

So my question is whether the fingerless dude had healthcare to cover the expenses of the stitches and tetanus shot....

She's got kids to take care of. Laura Bush wasn't exactly front and center either. I suppose if you like your first ladies to be out in everyone's face you must have LOVED Hillary then eh?

Wrong. Obama got the auto companies but the banks were Bush's. And, by the way, the banks are now out of the red and paying back those loans. Not out of the woods yet of course but it looks like that bailout kept the bottom from completely dropping out. And the auto companies will be cut loose too. Medicare = Socialism Medicaid = Socialsim SSI = Socialism and etc. Maybe reconsider HOW you define socialism. Obama's not a socialist.

Perhaps "defending him" was a poor choice of words- it called for a conclusion not 100% in evidence. I construed attacking me personally for my observation as a weak attempt at defending him...because that's what pinheaded, moronic wingnuts do when you CAN'T defend behaviour. So in that regard, I concede you may have a point. And, once again, I was commenting on POLITICIANS IN GENERAL, and using this guy as the latest example that I'd seen. I can understand how the wingnuts are a little oversensitive given that the lunatic fringe is in control and it's hard to defend being a wingnut when you have birthers, teabaggers, Sanford, etc on your side. Why they don't distance themselves is beyond me, but that's their choice. I don't care what they opine. Their view is very narrow given that their heads are collectively up their respective butts.

So then a search of the archives will find you in strong support of keeping Wade, and rending your garments in grief when he was fired?

Why wouldn't I want Wade? Because he can't win the big one either. He proved it in Buffalo and has proven it beyond all doubt in Dallas. It's tempting to blame Smiley for that, but it's been consistent with all Wade's teams. Wade's statement is right up there with the classic "we're beating ourselves but we're getting better at it" or whatever...who was that, immortal Hank Bullough? Ralph went thru a bunch of goofball coaches before taking a chance on Levy and hit the jackpot. If we can suffer through this year and Ralph doesn't leave this world, Mike Holmgren will be looking to coach again next year. Maybe the Walrus could do something for the team.
