"I have wondered for some time, if these innocent detainees were kept to practice the "new interrogation techniques", before exposing the hardcore detainees to the new techniques. I wouldn't put it past them . . ."

You and Brainy and the "I wouldn't put it past them" -- how bout some facts to enlighten the masses rather than RANK speculation??

LOL Good point Nanky. They rarely respond to factual items by US but yet they speculate nonsense 24/7. It's why I took a week long break from this thread.

Rush is a radio host. He's never indicated any interest in running for office. I'd vote for him sooner than I'd vote for Belly though.

!!!!!!

Two covers! Wow! Rush's best week ever

!!!!!!


talk about winning friends and influencing people......

You try and claim that FDR had to spend money to get the economy rolling. That's pure 100% unadulterated crap! WWII got us out of the Great Depression. If anything FDR extended the depression by at least six to seven years with his spending! Don't believe me?

Please explain to me how WWII got us out. What exactly was the benefit of WWII?

Wasn't it massive government spending? What did we get for that massive spending, we got thousands of jobs.
I'm all for letting industry create jobs, but that's not happening now.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to respond to. LJ had a link to an article about how we'll have trillion dollar deficit for years to come. A decade maybe? I'm so happy Milhouse got elected. This asshole is worse that W 7 fucking days a week. Look! he's even got me angry again!

Hippies are loooooooooooooozers. You read it here first. Dirty smelly low-down looooooooooooozzzzzzers. I'm not sure we need to plunge into debt like this. We've had other recessions & things were tough but Obalama's using this crisis as an opportunity (indeed, his pals even put it that way!)to give away money to losers who aren't ever likely to work. Welfare is back.

LJ,
Dubya doubled the debt in eight years while cutting taxes and you never said boo about it. In fact you said you would have voted for Obama if Hillary was the VP nom. What would McCain be doing differently to combat the crisis we are in?

Never said boo??? I HATED Bush with every fiber of my being. MM..I do not know what has happened to me other than to say my eyes are finally open. Perhaps with age comes wisdom? Thank God Obama did NOT tap Hillary to be VEEP as I would be regretting my vote for him. The fact that he NEVER considered her (he was intimidated is my guess) speaks VOLUMNS about this man's lack of good judgement.

Not sure how to answer your question re McCain. A GOP WH and a Dem Congress would be better than what we have now. I do know that.

I do know one other thing. I spent 8 years hiding under the bed whenever the POTUS was shown on television. And now I'm back to feeling the SAME WAY about the current POTUS.

Goddamn it we need a tour.

LJ.

I have no problem casting judgement on this ridiculously dangerous presidency. This presidency will go down as the worst ever. Our debt is going to be insane because of this asshole's ideology. He dosn't care if he wrecks the economy though. That's the 800 pound gorilla that nobody, save some on talk radio, seems to talking about. He wants to devastate the economy so he can take control of the free market. Anyone that can't see that has partisan blinders on! M_M I'd have thoughtthat you were pragmatic enough to see through Obama's attack on capitalism. He is gathering an inordinate amount of power for the federal government, and every single American should be vey wary of that. When the federal government gains power you loose liberty! All the Founders knew this and warned of it! For proof just se the tagline by Jefferson in my sig. Yet many just ignore these warnings. Why?


"President Barack Obama's budget would produce $9.3 trillion in deficits over the next decade, , congressional auditors said Friday."

So says the CBO. When Bush was in office the CBO's word was godlike, and they were dead on right every time! Now Democrats, Obama, and gullible Obamadrones just willingly ignore any and all warnings from the CBO. You drones can continue to pretend like the man/child has a clue, but most rational thinking people know better.

We actually agree at least as far as what Obalama's trying to do. We just disagree with whether or not that's a desirable thing.
