I think many of them get off on this notion that Coulter pisses so many \u201clibruls\u201d off. Very perverse. Comment by DrSinker

I think what they get off on is the possibility she will piss on them if they agree with her.

I forgot to mention that the government debt is actually being paid off ahead of schedule which also looks very very good. Comment by Jerad

I think what has you confused is the white house announcement that the deficit is half of what they projected it to be. Think of it this way, it’s like asking your family to borrow $1000 at the end of the month because you plan to gamble away all your money and wont be able to pay rent. Then at the end of the month you ask for only $500 because you did such a good job at the black jack table that you only lost half as much as you though you would.

The difference during Clinton’s term is we had a budget surplus. That means we spent less than we collected. We had extra money at the end of the year that we could apply towards paying what we already owe reducing our debt.

Is he/are they saying that this war would be going along just fine if Americans didn\u2019t f\u2019ing know about it ? Comment by Paige

Come on, you know those soldiers are only dieing so they can get on TV.

So, please, without the hate, what is the plan that Democrats have? Comment by Jerad

I’ve heard a lot of plans from democrats, republicans and independents alike. They range from getting out now to getting out in a year to getting out over several years. The only one that hasn’t mentioned a plan has been the Bush administration. Their plan is to stay the course indefinitely which is not a plan but inaction. They dont know what to do because they can’t save face. If they put in more troops, they have to admit they were wrong about going in with too few troops. If they reduce the number of troops, the current Iraqi government will be overthrown. If they pull out, they have to admit they are “cutting and running.” They had to wait it out so that in 50 years when the civil war is over and Iraqis settle down to peace, they can say, “see, we were right.”

What? Are you talking about the same organization that ran the Food for Oil program? Will you please wake up, there are other nations with troops in Iraq. Comment by Randy

What is wrong with the food for oil program? Other than the less that 1% that was skimmed off the top, it worked rather well. 71% went for humanitarian aid, 25% went for war reparations, 2.2% administration costs and .8% to pay for inspections. That’s 99% in case you can’t add. That is less waste than any US government program. BTW, at the same time as the Food for Oil program, US and other companies were making deals with Saddam to smuggle oil outside the program that far exceeded the amounts skimmed in the program. Both the amounts skimmed in the program and the amounts in the oil smugging deals are vastly eclipsed buy the amount of graft and waste in the War for Oil program we are currently in.

I would stay and demand shifting the mission into a UN one since leaving would just further destablize Iraq and give the UN an even tougher job. Comment by Jerad

I dont think we are in a position to demand anything from the UN. This administration burned all bridges with the UN going into this war. We would have to beg the UN to step in and bail us out. We would have to appeal to their mercy over the Iraqi’s suffering what we caused them.

From under the desk of Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, Al Qaeda\u2019s #1 man in Iraq as of 14:41 this afternoon Comment by Swamp Rabbit

Why would Abu Hamaza Al-Muhajer, Al Qaeda’s #1 man in Iraq, be writing in perfect English in a style that rivals Churchill’s best speeches, on stationary that starts of with “From the desk of”? Are you really stupid enough to believe anything on that page is real?

Of course the economy would take a dive after a massive terrorist attack and global uncertainty. Comment by jerad

Both the dive and the tax cut happened well before 9/11. And a republican congress cut taxes the year before which not only squandered the surplus but started the economic slide as they went into effect in 2001. Clinton really should have rejected that budget.

Tax cut myth

I\u2019ll go out on a limb and guess that you didn\u2019t criticize former president Carter for his truly disgraceful attacks on both president Bush and the United States over the past several years…. Carter has spent years spewing venom at the American people for turning him out of office so forcefully in 1980. Comment by Doug Book

Quote us a single attack by either of Clinton or Carter on any president, either one sitting in office or laying in his grave. Quote us anyone on Clinton or Carter’s staff that has attacked any president. Criticizing policy is not an attack. Calling someone names and mocking them is an attack. There was plenty of name calling and mocking of Clinton by the right while he was a sitting president yet I’m sure you were silent, if not taking part. No one has accuse either Bush of taking part in name calling attacks, though they did little to stop them. Tony Snow has resorted to personal attacks, name calling and mocking of Clinton while he was a sitting president and continues to do so with Carter despite the fact that he is representing the current administration.

Why do you keep saying that our economy is tanking? Our economy is booming right now. Comment by Jerad

I give you credit for trying to support your argument. That is much more than most Bush defenders.

If you look closely at your graph, you will notice it was highest during Clinton’s administration when he took office. It went down to it’s lowest point when he left office. From there, it went back up, not quite as high as when Clinton took office but Clinton took over from where the first Bush left off and reduced it. W took over when it was at it’s lowest rate in 20 years, from your graph, and increased it.

It is true that the economy is doing better and the unemployment rate is going down slightly but this economy is propped up by unprecedented deficit spending and the military complex re-arming as well as the current oil prices. The only ones that are benefiting from this economy are the ones that got the tax cuts in the first place. More people are employed but they are paid less. The cost of goods, especially fuel, increased local taxes and less pay have forced more people into poverty.

Poverty rate until 2004

I believe in 2005, the government stopped publishing data on poverty rates. If the terrorists got their hands on this information, they would use it against us.

You sound like an uneducated, simpleton, redneck hillbilly. Why don’t (and that is the correct way to spell it NOT “dont”, you ass) you go back to kneeling on your knees and sucking redneck d**k for your meth money!!!!

Tony Snow is just another heartless and souless member of Bush’s neocons.

They have been twisting and turning facts for the right anyway but now they are truly bought.

Now most of them are outright fawners…hoping that if they say and do the right things the right way—and have the correct hair–that they may get a WH job someday.

When the history books about this era are written someday in the future, will they report that the American people woke up to the creeping advance of Bush’s totalitarianism? Stealing elections, spying on citizens, telling the judiciary that warrants are not necessary and telling the legislative branch that laws can be ignored — what more do we need to see? Neil Young said it all. “Looking For A Leader” and (though I know Nancy Pelosi wants us to keep quiet about it until after November) “Let’s Impeach The President.”

poor kid…I didnt advance any argument.
A lil too dense to see that ?

Its not your fault :-)

Exactly. Any counter argument with an imbecile would bring me to that level. Reasoning does not work. “Hyper awareness tendencies”… in other words “aware of one’s worth”.

Got to admit…. the effort on looking up fancy words…now thats a surprise. If this effort was put before voting, you wouldnt have voted in a retard again.

That is why democrats are perceived as thinkers. Brains are superior than brawn.

If a neocon rightwinger really beleives what he preaches (the bible), they should definitely read Proberbs 14:16,19. oops…Ofcourse they cant think…. its not their fault….Inbreeding definitely takes a toll on the IQ.

“And recent appalling acts of terrorism have reminded us that no nations, even superpowers, are invulnerable.
It is clear that global challenges must be met with an emphasis on peace, in harmony with others, with strong alliances and international consensus.” – more “wisdom” from Mr. Jimmeh
******This is why Democrats are perceived (correctly!!) to be the party of the weak link. I think the 42 Dems who broke with the Party realize the American people do not wish to adopt the defeatist attitude of “One-Worlder” progs. I guess they know more about their constituents than Think Progress and the hyper-progs who post here.
