No anger here, you cocksucking, dicklicking, take it in the ass, motherfucking, piece of shit, pussy deprived, WingNut, worthless fuck, shame of your parents, waste of air.
I am still not angry. You NutJobs can’t handle it when the same tactics you use, are returned in kind.
Mr. King, kindly go back to (un)SP and post there, where your drivel impresses.
Go fuck your mother, she is the only woman who would have you.
I would explain the pun, but at that point it loses its charm.

Just like they did when Baby Bush failed to take bin laden on Sept 10, 2001, the Bush regime again passes on a chance to kill the real bad guys. Could it be that these terrorists are in the employ of George Bush?
The man who bankrolled the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth just put $5 million behind a new 527 this campaign, according to new FEC filings. So I am sure all the Republicans who told us what a horrible thing those damn dirty 527 groups are back in 2000 and 2004 will give us a convincing repeat performance of their ire this time around. Right? *sound of crickets chirping* Well, maybe IOIYAR.
Now JCH, there’s a waste of air.
Reichert’s pro-torture.

“…the military concluded the statement saying that while Taliban forces have killed innocent civilians during a funeral, coalition forces ‘hold themselves to a higher moral and ethical standard than their enemies.’ ”
Boy, when did that start? Has anyone told the Republicans?
Just wondering what the WingNuts think about Colin Powell, the greatly respected military man and Republican, telling the president to shove the Terrorist reform act up his ass. So WingNuts, how does this latest split from the “company” line make you feel Is Powell now a traitor and appeaser too? Is he morally and intellectually confused?
Your answer is awaited. (though not holding my breath)
WASHINGTON — In the spring, when Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was denouncing the Dubai Ports World deal, a consulting firm run by her top advisers was quietly lobbying for a Dubai takeover of two U.S. defense plants, Newsday has learned. The Glover Park Group, whose principals include Clinton insiders Howard Wolfson, Joe Lockhart and Gigi Georges, was paid about $100,000 to help the government-owned Dubai International Capital Corp. in its acquisition of the British engineering firm Doncasters Group Ltd.
2002 Clinton gave a speech in Dubai that yielded $300,000. He also gave a speech in 2005 that most likely yielded that amount or more.
Dubai contributed to his library, and to a WJC scholors program at the American University in Dubai.
He also has formed a partnership w/the Dubai royals. He was hired in 2002 has a senior advisor, and receives a % of the profits if they’re over 9%. The profits average around 40%.
He also is invested w/a Dubai American company that invests the funds of the royal family.
When the brouhaha regarding the ports was at it’s height, Clinton advised the Dubai royal family to ask for a 45 day window to allow the issue to take a back burner to the public outcry.
HRC definitly has to know about this income. I would think it would have to be declared both to the senate and the IRS.
Of course, when “Carl” can’t find his way out of a corner he predictably resorts to vile language and insults… they’re coming, you can bank on it. -Commentby howcanyoubePROUDtobeanASS [………Ya think??? Totally agree. JCH]
My left foot,
Colin Powell needs to reach down and refind them. Once he has done that, he needs to schedule a press conference and announce his intentions to run for the Office of President of the United States.
I know he loves Alma and doesn’t want to put her through the hell that the press gave her the last time he was thinking of a run, I just think he has forgotten how strong military wives really are!
I would think that the last person tossing stones around here would be JCH. The man has a mouth and mind straight from a cesspool. His hatred of others is far worse than some swearing that he is now railing against.
JCH, no one cares, quit waiting for new posts from Goldy so that you can be first in line to post your Republicrap.
Now, be sure to tell my wife I told you to GO FUCK YOURSELF!

In the interest of equal time… you know, that thing the whining libs always cry about…
Bush tells Fred Barnes that capturing bin Laden is “not a top priority use of American resources.”
Does Dave Reichert agree?
@10 And, Daddy didn’t Love me, the Senate Democrats just killed the effort to rein in the 527s- so don’t blame us for the escalations taking place… BIG money injected into politics- including state Supreme Court races- brought to you by Maria Cantwell and Harry Reid…
sgmmac @ 18:
Here is the problem. Powell is a blantantly honest man. He left the White House because he was used and lied to.
My thought is that a ticket of Powell and McCain, in any order, would sweep into the White House. These men are honorable, straighforward and do not bend to special interests.
Unfortunately, this is exactly why they won’t be allowed to run. Republicans have a desire for power, not leadership. Personal gain, not the well being of the people. That is why the tide has turned against them.
Despite their best efforts Republicans keep falling in the polls. No one can predict with certainty what will happen in Novemeber. We all know change is coming, we don’t know how big that change will be. The WingNuts have nearly 6 weeks left to dig the grave even deeper, and from what I am seeing that is certainly the only certain we can count on.
Louisiana’s Senator Landrieu:
”
I’d like to state for the record that America is not tired of fighting terrorism; America is tired of the wrongheaded and boneheaded leadership of the Republican party that has sent six and a half billion a month to Iraq while the front line was Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. That led this country to attack Saddam Hussein, when we were attacked by Osama bin Laden. Who captured a man who did not attack the country and let loose a man that did. Americans are tired of boneheaded Republican leadership that alienates our allies when we need them the most. Americans are most certainly tired of leadership that despite documenting mistake after mistake after mistake, even of their own party admitting mistakes, never admit they do anything wrong. That’s the kind of leadership Americans are tired of…I’m not going to sit here as a Democrat and let the Republican leadership come to the floor and talk about Democrats not making us safe. They’re the ones in charge and Osama bin Laden is still at loose.”
You guys are gonna hear a lot of that.
Jim King
So tell me how horrible 527s are.
Bush is a stubborn fool, and quite honestly, I am looking forward to his last two years in office. It will be quite a sight when he tries to convince us that he can’t be an effective president with a Democratic Congress (and perhaps a Democratic Senate). He has been totally ineffective with both houses being WingNut controlled.
Face it, the man is not bright. He is a puppet.
Oh, and Jim King…
So what? I never said 527s were bad, you guys did.
The death of the lobbying and ethics reform bill in the Senate shows you how fundamentally unserious Republicans are about reform. We all know that Republicans want to restrict Democratic 527 organizations, and Democrats have made it clear that they will block legislation that restricts them. So the Republicans add a 527 restrction to the lobbying/ethics reform bill as a poison pill so they can blame Demcrats for voting against it. You know the drill–it’s what they did with the minimum wage bill. Republicans are in the majority. They can bring a bill that can be passed with only GOP votes to the floor, and instead they waste the people’s time and scuttle lobbying and ethics reform for an election year gotcha.
Just one MORE reason why we need to vote the Republicans out of the Congressional majority.

I can’t agree that McCain is a principled and honorable man. I used to believe that, but his shameless ass-kissing of Bush and the Republican rightwing during the 2004 election put that illusion to rest. I think McCain is a political being to the core–he occasionally bucks his party’s leadership, generally in a very self-promoting way, just to maintain an image as a maverick. His actual voting record discloses that he is far from a maverick–his record indicates he is one of the most reliable conservative votes in the Senate. He may be principled and honest for a Republican, but that is, of course, rather thin praise.
I have to choose.
1. My Left Foot’s anger and language.
or
2. JCH’s hatred and vindictiveness.
My Left Foot just says what a lot of us are thinking. He expresses his anger here, in a safe arena.
JCH on the other hand actively advocates killing Blacks, Muslim, Jews and Mexicans.
The choice is not difficult. Bad language is far less threatening that violence encouraged by JCH. I have no doubt if he believed that he could get away with it, he would murder and maim to further his agenda.
My Left Foot on the other hand, strikes me as the type who would be trying to stop him. At that point do we care if he swears?
Notice how Jim Queen says he/she’s an independent in some threads and admits to being a republican in others? When else have you lied Queen?
Wow the GOP’s house of cards is falling all around them. Powell tells the truth, Chafee holds up Bolton, the Senate refuses to let that coward Bush torture people, boy when it goes bad, it goes bad in a hurry for these assholes.
#27 – My Left Foot, I know clear thinking isn’t really prized amongst you loonies on the left, but please just so we can understand you, here is your lesson in our government for today:
The United States Congress is a bicameral legislature, consisting of the House and Senate. The word “Congress” is not the same as the term “House of Representatives”.
Tomorrow, we can work on the basic terminology behind the other two branches of government (and no, the NY Times isn’t one of them).
Thank you o’ignorant one. I will be sure to write that down. Both houses of Congress. Hmmmm, thanks. House of Representatives is filled by, um, well, how do I say this without bursting your bubble, CONGRESSMEN. Senators are always senators. Members of the HOR are addressed as Mr/Ms Congressman/Congresswoman. While my term is technically off, semantics don’t change the facts, which you failed to adress. Your side is losing. Two thirds of America agree with me. Rush Bimbaugh says this is a conservative country, he is wrong. This is a middle of the road country.
Again, thanks for the history lesson. I know all about the legislative, judicial and executive branches of government, checks and balances and all that stuff. Shame the WingNuts are trying in their dying days to load up the Judicial branch. It was never intended to rubber stamp the executive branch. Checks and balances. No matter, Congress is ours this November. Shoe, other foot and all that. Enjoy!
My LF,
Change may be coming, but I don’t think it’s going to be as radical as the polls indicate. Polls are notorious for being wrong. Pollsters influence their results with leading questions and prefaces to questions that lead to the results they want. They also use registered voters vs likely voters and there is a difference in the quality.
Guillani polls a lot better than McCain. It’s personality and security. America saw Guillani under extreme duress remain cool, calm and exhibiting direct leadership.
I would vote for Powell a lot faster than McCain. I used to love McCain for his war on Pork, but I have been less impressed with him lately. I don’t agree with his stance on torture. Torture needs to remain an “option.” The CIA didn’t start torturing people under Bush……. they’ve been doing it for years, and a lot worse things that Americans have never known about.
Powell didn’t leave because he was used and lied to. Our intelligence agencies have been fucked up for years, right along with the CIA, the FBI, and NSA. All of them have a protective institutional attitude. The same thing also exists in the military services to a certain degree.
Powell left because of Rumsfield. There were rumors of power fights between them for several years. Traditionally, the military kicks ass and leaves a country, then the State Department does the mopp up and rebuilds the country. That didn’t happen in IRAQ and that’s right about the time that Powell left………….

SGMMAC,
As you said, polls are notoriously wrong. However I have a sense, admittedly my own gut feeling, that polls are off. I think folks are holding back this time and not in a way favorable to Republicans. Everyone I talk to, and yes, I have Republican friends, believes big change is coming.
As for torture, I wish to God I could remember the generals name who said this but it struck me as very intelligent and insightful, both as a human being and as a (former) military officer.
To paraphrase: He was asked. “if you knew that a prisoner had information that, if you had it, would save lives, would you use torture?”
His response: “I would. I would then be willing to accept the consequences of that act, under the law. The problem with not having a punishment for torture is where do you draw the line? When is it OK to torture? When is not? It is best to leave the law as is. For allowing torture without such restriction would, without doubt, invite widespread abuse”. The man is Republican, the interview was in Newsweek or Time within the past three weeks or so.
I don’t disagree with the General’s statement. As a matter of policy torture does need to be restricted, but I still want an option open. Something similiar to our WMD policy.
@32- Hey Stupid- and why don’t you just stick to one name on the blog, anyway- where have I ever said I was anything but a Republican? Goddamnfool, whether you are posting as fake Carl or Stupid or DaddyDoesn’tLoveMe…
sgmmac
No torture. Ever.
The US < a href="http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1079/is_n2137_v88/ai_6742034">signed and ratified the UN Convention Against Torture, as well as the Geneva Conventions, and, let’s see, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (signed and ratified), the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the U.N. Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment, the U.N. Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ, arts. 77-134), the War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. § 2441), and the federal anti-torture statute (18 U.S.C. § 2340A). Of course, the widespread or systematic practice of torture constitutes a crime against humanity. (See, for example, article 5 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court).
I think we can disregard your near-inevitable repetition of your preference FOR it as incompatible with the Supreme Law of the Land (US Constitution Article VI).
Besides which, it does not work, and by using it as we have we have relinquished any shred of moral authority we retained from our role in WWII and after.

You sure are smart. You can figure out things that ain’t even true.

Another example of why the Republicans are going down hard:
Montana’s wackiest politician is in trouble again — this time for sticking his wife in Coach with the poor people while he flew in luxurious First Class.
Worse, the crazy old firefighter-hating senator had his wife stuck in an Emergency Exit row, so she’d be first to die after an emergency landing.
Partisans are seizing the opportunity to paint Burns as a sexist, but we’re giving him the benefit of the doubt: Conrad Burns just hates his wife.

Bush tells Fred Barnes that capturing bin Laden is “not a top priority use of American resources.”
Does Dave Reichert agree? -Commentby Daddy Love— 9/14/06@ 12:39 pm
Botox Pelosi does!
Pelosing bin Ladin
“Republicans are taking aim at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for saying that taking out Osama bin Laden would not ‘make us any safer,’ ” reports the Air Force Times:
The rhetorical volley began when Pelosi, who stands to become Speaker of the House if the Democrats recapture that chamber in the November elections, commented Tuesday on the effort to capture or kill bin Laden.
“Even if he is caught tomorrow, it is five years too late,” Pelosi was quoted as saying. “He has done more damage the longer he has been out there. But in fact, the damage that he has done is done. And even to capture him now, I don’t think makes us any safer.”
We’re not sure why the Republicans aren’t embracing Pelosi’s comment. After all, if capturing bin Laden wouldn’t make us any safer, that means President Bush has already succeeded in neutralizing the threat.
I’m laughing my ass off.
Mike “fucking’ Webb.
Need I say more….
As a loyal Democrat who votes the party, I want to say a word about the Alexander/Groen race. Gerry Alexander has been on the court since Richard Nixon. He is getting old and has made serious errors while in office.
Groen has an impressive background, having argued 17 cases before the court – something not even Alexander had done prior to his becoming a justice. For this Democrat, it is time to retire Gerry Alexander. He won’t even be able to finish his term if elected as his mandatory retirement will be in effect while he is in office. What happens if he is in the middle of a case and ends up being pulled due to his mandatory retirement? This could have serious legal consequences.
That cinches the deal for me. I voted Groen and sent in my ballot today. I urge all true Democrats to do the same.
#24 ” Here is the problem. Powell is a blantantly honest man. He left the White House because he was used and lied to. ”
Except for the lies to get the 1st gulf war started….. How many Iraqi tanks did Powell tell the Saudis there were line up on their border?
To say Powell is honest is like saying Hitler loved Jews.
He is a Republican. There is nothing honest about their beliefs, actions, or ideology. It is 100% lies, hate, and avoiding accountability for their actions.
In fact the Republican Party has hurt America far more than Bin Laden ever could.
If you don’t believe me, a Pew Research Poll found more people around the globe view the United States as a greater threat to them than Islamic Terrorists.
Fact.
Just look at what Bush and his Republican Crime Partners have done to our country worldwide.
Make sure you check out Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country. From 75% approval of the US (because of Clinton) to 15% in 2003.
If making people hate America is the president’s job, then Bush is doing great!

Disaster = Bush Diplomacy
Hey but lotsa innocent folks are dying, and being tortured. What more could a Republican want anyway?
Fred at 49:
As a loyal Republican who has voted for every Republican Candidate since Lincoln, I have to assure you that great reasoning like yours will lead to the overwhelming victory of Democrats in Novemember.
You are right, Gerry Alexander is a terribly old person. He must be, what, a billion years old. And we all know that old people can’t do anything. Look at Ronald Reagan.
And, you are so right, arguing 17 cases for the BIAW and their lackeys in front of the court is so much more important than having been a judge at three different levels and deciding thousands of cases on all kinds of different issues. Who wants real experience when we can put a one note attorney on the bench. At least we know he will rule the right way.
And thank you, as a loyal Democrat, for pointing out that he has made serious errors on the bench. Like you, I can’t name a single one, but as long as we say it, it must be true.
And surely an Evans Republican like Alexander is a worthless justice to a Democrat like you who votes the party line. How much better to have someone that makes John Carlson look like a moderate and who is bought and paid for by the developers and the building industry.
And you are right, if Justice Alexander is left on the court, he would retire. You, as a loyal party line Democrat, like me, know that Govenor Gregoire will be re-elected, and we wouldn’t want her to appoint anyone.
Plus, as you point out, look at all the confusion when Justice O’Connor retired. The Court went to total hell. (What, it didn’t? They know how to take care of that? Well, again, if I as a loyal Republican and you as a loyal Democrat say it, it must be true).
That cinches it for me. Why would I want an honest, fair, impartial jurist when I can have a radical right wing lawyer whose only qualification is that he knows people with enough money to spend it hand over fist to get him elected because they know how he will vote. So, if I was a loyal, party line Democrat like you, I would vote for Groen.
However, if I was a Republican or Democrat with any sense, I would gladly vote for Alexander. But that would only be if I wanted a person to whom “Justice” was not an ironic term.
Proud to be an Ass:
Please notice the difference:
Bush says he doesn’t want to capture Bin Laden. Just not worth it to him.
Pelosi is in favor of capturing Bin Laden. She just pointed out that after Bush allowed Al Qaeda to decentralize and metastasize, that his capture will not put an end to the terror. What a shame Bush decided to go after Iraq instead of Bin Laden like he should of.
Representative Bob Ney, Republican of Ohio, has agreed to plead guilty to federal criminal charges related to his dealings with the corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff, lawyers and others with knowledge of the investigation said Thursday.
A guilty plea would make Mr. Ney, a six-term congressman, the first member of Congress to admit to criminal charges in the Abramoff investigation, which has focused on the actions of several current and former Republican lawmakers who had been close to the former lobbyist.
People with detailed knowledge of the investigation said Mr. Ney had entered an in-patient rehabilitation facility in recent days for treatment of alcoholism, making it uncertain whether he would appear at a court hearing to announce the plea. Lawyers and others would speak only anonymously because of concern they would anger prosecutors.
They said the agreement with the Justice Department — and the exact criminal charges, which are expected to include conspiracy and false statement — would be disclosed in Washington as soon as Friday and would probably require Mr. Ney to serve at least some time in prison.
