		<description>We have enough troops, they have enough equipment. What they don&#039;t have it the orders to destroy.....That is the Democrats fault.....
Comment by I-RIGHT-I 

To I-Wrong-I,
In case you haven&#039;t noticed, the Democrats are currently a minority party without control of the White House and either of the Congressional Houses; they&#039;re hardly in the position to hold back soldiers.  And since you seem to know so much about how to handle the war, why don&#039;t you volunteer and go over there and tell them how to do it?  Will you be translating between Arabic and English, as well?</description>

		<description>#122 I-Wrong-I,
I have no problem with Mary Cheney being a lesbian. I brought this up only because I do have trouble with Rethugs who hypocritically ignore the fact that there are gays in both parties and in the so-called red states, too. 

Comment by Lora 

&lt;b&gt;There&#039;s nothing hypocritical in my opinion of homosexuals. I think they should be in the closet away from kids and those with AIDS put away in hospitals regardless of what their politics are. &lt;/b&gt;

As per your comment: â€œpeople who donâ€™t encourage killing putting our troops in danger,â€ do you mean the Bush administration, which ignored the opinions of experienced generals on the actual number of troops needed to succeed in Iraq, a country incidentally not involved in 9/11, and then sent a totally inadequate number without adequate body armor and without a sufficient number of people capable of translating between Arabic and English?

&lt;b&gt;I said, &quot;who don&#039;t encourage killing babies&quot;. Something you&#039;re probably fine with. And I said putting our troops in danger by attacking them and our President, by siding with our enemies and writing lies like the flushed Koran story that was written to intentionally inflame the Muslims. 

We have enough troops, they have enough equipment. What they don&#039;t have is the orders to destroy the towns where the terrorists are living. That is the Democrats fault because too many &quot;innocent&quot; terrorist would be killed. A ground soldier doesn&#039;t need body armor if an F-16 goes in and does the hard part. We didn&#039;t do that and it&#039;s all because of people like you that want us to lose. I&#039;d bet that half of our casualties in Iraq are directly attributable to Leftist policy and treachery. I think the guilty parties, and we know who they are should be tried for treason and hung...on national TV. &lt;/b&gt;

â€œBlue states where the people live under socialist tyranny and atheism, treason and sodomy,â€ I wouldnâ€™t say such things if I were you in front of the Governor of California. He might send the Terminator to get you.

&lt;b&gt;Arnold is a pussy, probably homosexual and no conservative. Screw him. &lt;/b&gt;</description>

I brought this up only because I do have trouble with Rethugs who hypocritically ignore the fact that there are gays in both parties and in the so-called red states, too.  Let me remind you that it was a Texas Repugnancan who hired gay prostitute Jeff Gannon/James Guckert to pose as a White House reporter. 
As per your comment: &quot;people who donâ€™t encourage killing putting our troops in danger,&quot; do you mean the Bush administration, which ignored the opinions of experienced generals on the actual number of troops needed to succeed in Iraq, a country incidentally not involved in 9/11, and then sent a totally inadequate number without adequate body armor and without a sufficient number of people capable of translating between Arabic and English?  Please give me a break, Rightee.
As for your comment in #120: &quot;Blue states where the people live under socialist tyranny and atheism, treason and sodomy,&quot; I wouldn&#039;t say such things if I were you in front of the Governor of California.  He might send the Terminator to get you.</description>

		<description>Any comments on that, IRI, instead of ignoring the facts that the â€œbluer skiesâ€ in Houston became under Gov. Bush the most polluted in the US or that one of Cheneyâ€™s own daughters is gay?

Comment by Lora 

&lt;b&gt;Lady, I wasn&#039;t speaking specifically of Houston where the polution figures you are alluding to were rigged to make George look bad. Give me a break. LA or the Rust Belt around Chicago would kill someone used to Houston air. I was speaking in generalities about the favorable conditions where the majority of people fear God, love our country and vote for people who don&#039;t encourage killing babies, putting our troops in danger and male rump humping. 

What has Dick&#039;s daughter have to do with anything? Are you trying to tell me that muff diving is icky? It doesn&#039;t bother me any. Been there Sugar. You gotta do what you gotta do. &lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>#119
I apologize for making such distinctions--particularly about Ohio, where I, in fact, have some very nice relatives.  I used the &quot;red state&quot; term in my #118 comment  mainly to make the content easier for ignorant bigots like IRI to understand.
Anyway, these comments have gotten completely off the topic of Total Information Awareness.  Any comments on that, IRI, instead of ignoring the facts that the &quot;bluer skies&quot; in Houston became under Gov.

		<description>If you think living in New York or LA is going to really make much of a difference when things really hit the fan, you are living in a dream world, which might very well be part of the problem with progressive politics. The â€œliberal eliteâ€ label sometimes appliesâ€¦ 

Comment by Diane

I think it does make a difference the way people vote in where you live. Red states are friendlier, more homey, prices lower, kids better behaved, the grass is greener, the sky is bluer and there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Compare that to Blue states where the people live under socialist tyranny and atheism, treason and sodomy are the norm. You are lucky to be in a red state. I sure wouldn&#039;t want to be surrounded by limp wristed liberals when the Muslims nuke us and the SHTF (shit hits the fan).</description>

		<description>This is a bit off topic, but I must ask my fellow liberals, progressives, etc to STOP BUYING INTO THE RED STATE / BLUE STATE THING. It drives me crazy - I live in Ohio and I am tired of being painted with a Red brush. It&#039;s hard to hold on to much hope politically when your compatriots want to dismiss you out of hand.

Nonsense, nobody vacations in Red China. You probably went there to get one of those internal organs they routinely harvest from pesky political non-conformists. Hope it works out for you.

Your above statement is so stupid that it actually isn&#039;t even worth answering.  You obviously have never been to China and know nothing about the tourist industry.  I have stayed in the same hotels as tourists, for example, from red states like Ohio and Kansas, as well as plump old ladies from Australia.  Believe it or not, but there are lots of non-communist tourists who want to see the Great Wall and other famous sites, and the Chinese are quite happy to accept capitalist money.  You ought to check with some travel agencies before making such ignorant assertions.</description>

		<description>To I-WRONG=I,

Like President Bush during Katrina, I was on vacation (Iâ€™m sure youâ€™ve heard of summer vacation, rightee).

&lt;b&gt;Nonsense, nobody vacations in Red China. You probably went there to get one of those internal organs they routinely harvest from pesky political non-conformists. Hope it works out for you.&lt;/b&gt;

Hate to disappoint you, but Iâ€™ve never done work in China. As a matter of fact, it actually happens to be some of the most conservative big companies like Wal-Mart that are doing the most business there.

&lt;b&gt;More nonsense. The only thing conservative about global capitalists are their suits. &lt;/b&gt;It&#039;s too bad you failed to tell them that the Feds showed up when they were asked by the State of Louisiana and that unlike their own country it is the State&#039;s responsibility to be the first responders in any crisis. </description>

		<description>#114 Since the news over there is only slightly less corrupted by Leftist Bush hating propaganda than our own itâ€™s no wonder they think that. 

China huh? Doing business with the Redâ€™s slave labor combines or were you sneaking in non-party authorized Bibles?

I also said I was in Japan, which is a very strong ally of the United States and currently has a conservative government with a prime minister well-liked by Bush.  Still, I was asked by ordinary Japanese citizens why the US government, with all its resources, wasn&#039;t reacting to sooner to the disaster.</description>

		<description>What were you doing when people were drowning? I was rooting for the swat teams that we sent in there to kill the looters and the snipers that were preventing rescue teams from saving drowing people.

Comment by I-RIGHT-I â€”

I doubt that you are really interested in where I was while people were drowning in New Orleans; but to give you an honest answer, I was visiting China, a major creditor nation to the US.  Afterwards, I was in Japan, another one of our creditors.  From the experience of seeing the news related in other countries, I can say that a lot of people over there wonder why the richest nation on earth did so little to help its citizens.</description>
