We can't afford to insure innocent children but we can afford to insure criminals who are employed by the Government?

About the time I think the Repocons have run out ways to scam the taxpayer they amaze me with a new and creative ways to profit from their evil.

And they are the one's who tout their patriotism the loudest.

About the only good moments in the Bush administration have been those when the Bushies land on their compuslive obsessive lying faces in a self make cow plotz.
And the one's still warm!

But if she just used "Clinton" then the accusation would be that she was running on her husband's name.
If she used Rodham she would be accused of being a flaming feminist - not- praised for honoring her father's family name.
When she is identified as Rodham-Clinton she is accused of both of the above.

Does anybody even know her mother's family name. That would be a truer identifier for a woman. Wouldn't it??

The problem is, that women have only their given name as their true identifier. They last name, married or single is the name of a male family line, not of their own female lineage.

I am curious as to exactly how you would have her, or any Amarican woman, identify herself in a way that someone would not criticize her?

Bill, Barack, George, Mike, John, even Turdblossom do not have that problem. Do They? They pass, also, uncriticized as Clinton, Obama, Bush, Huckabee, McCain, and Karl. But Hillary gets damned for any choice she or the MSM make.

Valdron correctly states “It's about the hate machine. The Clinton's were just there.”

Mrs. Dole was treated kindly, as a woman, by her own party. Well, at least a well as the Republicans ever treat women. She was also protected from them and from the MSM, to a considerable extent, by the power and popularity of her husband.

Go back to Geraldine Farraro’s run for Vice President and you see the same incredible sexist and fowl mouthed Republican hate mongering as we see against Hillary. Remember Momma Bush calling Farraro a “rich bitch,” then looking down her nose at Farraro because she bought her clothes “off the rack?” Kinda makes you wonder at the level of discourse that goes on in private amongst the Bush Mafias’s intelligentsia?

My parents were Republican. When I was caring from them in their last years I got the chance to read the political mail that they received from the Republican Party.
Hillary wasn’t even running for office, or in office, but the propaganda was aimed largely at her. I had had no idea of the lies and filth and pure blind driving vagina targeted hatred that the Republican Party has against her. They did not just attack her, they attacked her through her gender with every sexist word, slur and lie that I had ever heard and many that I had not heard. And that was when Bill was running and in office, not Hillary.

Hillary also has the burden of the Clinton name. Her husband beat the Repocons at their own game to gain the Presidency, and they will never forgive him for that, and have openly stated that they will hound him to his grave.

The Clintons, to a great extent, Gore, and Kerry have gotten on with their lives and successes. The Republican Hate Machine is still mired in the Nixonian era of using the government to destroy American citizens that they, the Republican, hate.

This will probably be Bushette's last chance to prove his is a man and a leader.
He must dissociate the US from the Musharraf's government, and choose instead to support someone of honesty, decency and courage.

As expected, he has already failed, by claiming that the murder of Musharraf's main political rival was at the hands of radicals and terrorists.

One of the characteristics of "leaders or men" is their ability to pick men of quality to lead.

As in all other things, Bushette is a world class failure. Bushette has gotten a running start at turning Afghanistan into another Hussein/Iraq-like horror.

I wonder how many chapters of Duhbya's ghost written autobiography will be given over to excuses for Bush's failure to gain revenge by killing in the field, or to satisfy justice by capturing and bring to international trial bin Laden and his generals?

Any bets on which Repocons who may still desire national status will write the forward?

Considering Bush's very loose definition of "enemy combatant" could these mercenaries not be charged and tried either in the US the Hague or elsewhere? If not Bush's rule then what is the international law's stand on mercenaries.

The immidiate start of such legal processes against the companies, the individual men, and the people who hire them, might have a sufficient damping effect (money drain) on these mercenaries to make it difficult for them to profit from their occupation armies.

Wouldn't it be fun if Duhbys as the Commander In Cheep of these mercenariy forces were found guilty under international law of being a mercenary

In other words Greenspan is a total professional failure. He was great at the easy stuff but didn't even try to deal with the hard stuff.

A whole generaration, like me, lost their retirement in the Bush crash of 2000-02. In my case almost $300,000. I'm still working but I will die in poverty, as I now, for the first time in my live, live in poverty.
There will be 10's of tousands of older folks who will die a burden on the state, who whould not have been had Greenspan and Bush done their jobs

The Great American Dream as runined by Nero Greenspan, the useless shit.

I think that a lot of bed rock Republicans, and a lot of Bush supporters have been increasingly realizing just how badly they have messed this country up.

Instead of admitting that their support was misplaced and getting on with supporting people and projects that are actually good for this country -
They protect their ego's by trying to find whatever slender and absurd justifications that they can of why they opposed Dole and Kerry.

Just another of the many reasons that journalists and reporters should not take sides. Once they have invested in one side or the other - if they find they are wrong, their vanity will prevent them acknowledging their error.

On the other hand we can gain some satisfaction in realizing the extent of their vanities by the increasing absurdities used to defend them.

I would love to have access to a true news source. Devoid of political and social biases and the types of carping, bitching, bad language, name calling, entertainment, and failed attempts to be news comedians that make up almost all of the so called news these days. (I don't even consider Fox et al. to be “news” sources any more, their content is so very predictable.
I enjoy sites such as this with their commentaries and comments, they are often factually informative and so, often, are readers comments, but they are not sufficient sources of unbiased news.
