		<description>I find it kinda sad/amusing that the hopeful people on this blog can alays find a way to scrape up hope for a member of the GOP who addresses the press with a modicum of sense, and then later are so suprised, disgusted and disappointed when he shows himself to be what he ALWAYS was, a Republican

		<description>check out cursor.org........they&#039;re actually managing to keep track of all the brutal permutations of the Bush Admin and it&#039;s impact on the world. Every day there are a series of sites listed to investigate. I&#039;m sure I&#039;m not alone on this; the more that comes out about all this horror, the more I wonder if America isn&#039;t already dead, not just sickened to the point of anemia so bad that it&#039;s fallen on it&#039;s face. How are the people who truly care about this country and the beauty of it&#039;s now trounced ideals ever going to take the country back? In other words, your average american....After the last two presidential elections, I don&#039;t believe there will be a way to get away from rigged results. I don&#039;t believe for a moment that bush/cheney aren&#039;t capable of martial law, even if they weren&#039;t rigged.</description>

		<description>Roberts is not to be trusted.  I once thought he had some integrity, but I was mistaken.  He is a party operative under direct influence and control by the White House.  When all is said and done, regardless of what he says, his actions never reflect anything but partisanship.</description>

		<description>Roberts is why the Senate is full of crap and NO longer represents the people! It is now just a Rubber-Stamp group of thugs who help Bush, and bow down to Military-Industrial-Complex CEOs, as well as doing anything the Oil-Cartels desire! About 75 of the Senators are totally compromised and the other 25 are too frightened to do anything about it!</description>

		<description>Keep e-mailing Pat Roberts and voicing your disgust with his treason...

It&#039;s obviously reaching him, but we&#039;ve got to break these traitors down...

		<description>I watched and listened to him on Meet The Press last week and he was very stern and commanding that from his position he knew best as to where the issue stood, that there was much We The People were not privy to, and that The People should somehow feel better, not knowing what they dont know.
I say, why have commitees and courts hearings and reviews then only to see that no one is advised and consent is not required, yeah right Hitler , Mussoulini, Stalin, all liked it that way too...............
Look Bush/Cheney isnt the personification of all those, but they certainly are running roughshod and dont think thay have to answer to anyone in this war on terror.
But I must ask what war on terror, or is it rather illegal acts being framed as a war to attain &quot;status&quot; of war?
I mean really think of it , conventional thinking says war is made between nations. Iraq fitted that nicely. But of course there were ample examples of flawed rational?
Us declares war on poverty? Which nation should we target next?
Nation declares war on bird flu? Which nation do we target next?
nation declares war on Aids... etc etc
So every time we feel we have to get tageted objectives through the Fisa act do as we please?  
can you spell Machiavelli?</description>

		<description>ma - FYI:
Some of the public debate on the treatment of â€œIslamofacistsâ€ by our own â€œChristofacistsâ€ centers on the issue of fundamentalism relating to the separation of church and state. Recently there have been social trends that have blurred the fine line that kept the two separate and complementary. The issues of morality, values, where they come from and what should they be, have been co-opted by the fundamentalist religious right flexing their political muscle. The debates over terrorism, civil liberties, homosexuality, abortion, the death penalty, science and religion, have become increasingly belligerent by the â€œChristofacistsâ€ whoâ€™s ultimatum of, â€œYou are either with us or against us!â€ is a cognitive distortion of reality. â€œAll or nothingâ€ thinking is typical to fundamentalism where issues are a simplistic, right or wrong, black or white, good or bad, in or out, faithful or infidel, etcetera. Thus, the people in between the warring factions lose their humanness in the broad brush of fundamentalist certainty and become just â€œcollateral damageâ€ of the pogrom, crusade, or jihad.</description>

		<description>#30 - ma,
I can&#039;t even get the mouse in. Didn&#039;t even try - physics degree - you know. But yet again, you are committing character suicide. You should be the careful - the penalty for suicide is death.
The only fascists in the world today are in the Cheney administration. I&#039;ll have no visitors.</description>
