Apparently the great bully, George Felix Allen Jr, has gone down to defeat in Va.
How does one deal with all this good news?

Lilith

Oh happy day!

Lilith

According to our President, Mr Bush if the Democrats won the election the "terrorists win and America loses".

I guess America lost if you believe the President.

Lilith

We'll see

Corlyss- I almost sympathize with you. It would be nice if you were correct just once, wouldn't it?

Lilith

You have no idea where Barry read this info... for all you know, it could have been in the Advocate or John Birch Society Bulletin. You have set new standards in ignorance.

Lilith

"the idea that only a war veteran should address war policy, and preferrably only a decorated war hero like Murtha, is a silly idea completely devoid of practical reasoning" Corlyss Oh its not the least bit silly, as you well know. The draft dodgers in the White House would immediately attack anyone...

So thats what the Great American Experiment in Democracy comes down to - being an Imperialist bully.
What would Jefferson and Washington think of this? All that effort so this country could become an imperialist bully. Sad, isn't it?

Lilith

"But one of the first things I read this morning about the incoming Democratic majority is that they're likely to try to cut defense spending." Barry As a journalist, you should know not to believe everything you read. I know the thought of that must greatly disturb you.... its hard to be an imperia...

"Great powers have no choice but to be "imperialist bullies" Barry ----------------------------- Wow, thats what America is all about - being an imperialist bully ??? Talk about complete cynicism. I absolutely refuse to buy into that. That's why most of the world hates us. I know that doesn't move y...

"Man, would I love to do a search and come up with the 1000 times you stomped your feet in protest to any Iraq/Viet Nam references or analogies—and you still don’t get it—Like Iraq the US had absolutely no business being in Viet Nam, the Vietnamese were never a threat to US interests (Like the Iraqi...

Lilith

John Murtha rises to the top as the hero of the Democrats in the election, in my view. His courage to come out against the Iraq war and to offer options for disengaging U.S. troops set the Democrats in opposition to the Bush War policy and helped shape a tentative, but real opposition. It gave a voi...

Lilith

"So if it makes you feel good to say, I told ya so, go on and do so" Barry ---------------------------------------------------- Its not a matter of 'I told ya so'. Every day you support this policy you cost US troops their lives and limbs. Every day you say 'stay the course' in spite of overwhelming...

Lilith

As Barry and Corlyss have said, so less than eloquently, the answer is a worldwide media conspiracy.
It doesn't matter what the people of Britain or Canada think because they have been manipulated by the US, Canadian and British press.

Lilith

Ahhh....the tyranny of the majority.....a lecture about the tyranny of the majority. A diversion when your point of view becomes impossible to sustain. I'd say the real tryranny was was the 'stay the course' mentality that produced 20,000 casualties for the US, hundreds of thousands of dealths for t...

Lilith

That's right folks - it wasn't the stupidity of Bush and Rumsfeld; it wasn't the total lack of planning; it wasn't the too few troops we sent in; it isn't the 20,000+ casualties we have suffered in Iraq .....nope .... none of those - guess what cost us victory in Iraq....it was the media!!!!!

Lilith

Haven't I seen this in 23 other articles you have posted? The same old drivel......please spare us.

Lilith

Well Mr RobLem, that response should give Corlyss something to think about - if she really wants to think about it. Another right wing religious/political leader exposed as a hypocrite. Nothing new about that, just another reminder that these self annointed people that want to make rules for the res...

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Rev. Ted Haggard admitted Friday he bought methamphetamine and received a massage from a male prostitute.

I would not be proud of a nephew who enlisted in the service at this time with a high probability of being sent to fight in Iraq. Foolhardy is too soft a word, but it comes to mind. To put your life at risk in an action that was illconceived and poorly executed and was and is very probably not in th...

Lilith

Do you think this Iraq 'war' would be going on if we had to have a draft? Would you be happy if nephew came up to you and said he was thinking of enlisting in the Army or Marines? Would you want your nephew in Iraq? (I am assuming you like your nephew) Are you aware that the Army has been lowering s...

Of course, no one is really addressing the substance of Kerry's unfortunate remarks. Is he right?

No kidding, Jerome ..... you mean Bush is really President? Thank you for that historical update.

That was fun! Bobbing Bobcat was my best effort.

Is it possible that the Rush Limbaugh clone is now trailing the decorated War Hero in Virginia? I guess so. Both CNN and Zogby Polls have Webb up by 4% today.

This is right on the mark. I have commented here how amazed I am that the people of this Board that gave us those same predictions about Iraq are now the ones beating the drums for war with Iran. After being so wrong for so long, I would think it might be wise and play it low key for a while. I have...

I don't know - are things really that bad? Was it better when we were in Vietnam? Better when we had the Iron Curtain and American kids were regularly trained to go under their desks in a nuclear attack. Better when Hitler and Japan were tooling up for WWII?

Am I really suppose to come up with a serious response to a writer who supported Bush and the Iraqi war & Republicans (and STILL DOES- how amazing is that) and now offers the expected criticism of a Democratic Senator thinking of a White House Run. Compare Obama to Bush - he's brighter, he speaks be...

"Hit ourselves in the sides of our heads, get a pained expression on our faces, and say, "Well, we told ourselves we were coming to help. But it looks like we're not. So, we're leaving." Not bad.

"if you happen to see the royal road out of Iraq which no one else can, do share it with us." The road out is the same road we took in.

Sincerely good luck. Its a tough business you are in and it's not going to get any easier.

The whole issue (including the league itself) is becoming quite a farce.

I guess then it must be some type of conspiracy? A CBS plot?
