What can one expect from the creature that gave us the ‘Magic Bullet’ theory of the JFK assassination? I am more tempted than ever to consider Isreal as a Nazi stalking horse constructed to bring about the destruction of all creation for the Satanists. Yes, its farfetched, ridiculous even, but then it makes as much sense as everything else we have seen in the past 40 odd years. Looks like the plan to bring about total destruction is on schedule. Remember BU**$HITler and possibly half the congress are Dominionists, pledged to destroy the world so Jesus can come back. What fun times we live in-or am I the only one who feels reality is now a mixture of Orwell and a Stephen King novel?

As they say, if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime, Mr. President. Bush should be impeached, removed from office, and then prosecuted for breaking his oath and the law.

[...] But what Specter didnâ€™t say is that his legislation does not require President Bush to submit the program to the FISA court; it merely gives the president the option. Under the FISA law, the administration can wiretap persons inside the U.S. But it is required to demonstrate that the targets are agents of a foreign power, like al Qaeda or their affiliates. Specterâ€™s bill actually empowers Bush by making it optional for him to follow the law and rewards him for illegal conduct. [...]

I sure do wish those evil Jewish Israelis would stop [insert hype] those poor, peaceloving Hamas and Hezbollah members who like to hide behind Pali and Lebanese women and children while launching rockets on Jewish nursury schools. How dare they defend themselves. Don’t they know that they are supposed to just stand there and take it. It is Allah’s will that they die, afterall.

[...] Update: Thinkprogress said all of this better than I did and Senator Leahy of Vermont nails this “sham” most eloquently in very few words, Sen. Patrick Leahy accurately characterized what Bush is agreeing to: â€œ[Bush is] saying, if you do every single thing I tell you to do, Iâ€™ll do what I should have done anyway.â€ The Specter bill makes it optional for Bush to follow the law, while rewarding him for illegal conduct.

Spectre’s Wiretapping “Compromise”: Bush Must Obey the Law (but only if he wants)…

A President who’s not above the law? What do you think this is, a democracy?…

Like AMERICA, early this morning I found myself with too much time on my hands. So, I actually read some of his paste-up bullshit plagarized from all of the well known neo-con agencies.

Arlen, Arlen, Arlen. Sigh… why do you continue to humiliate yourself like this? GWB will never really love you, like you want to be loved by him. He is using you! Don’t you see it? Poor thing. But you should know, we are not fooled by your dramatics. You do the same tired thing every time. Just stop, ok?

freeman â€” I am aware that at times one side may be completely blind and without a pratical response or explaination, but really that just further shows my view. As fair as I can see it the republicans do seem to have more “problems”, but that is to be expected when you control the house, senate and executive branch. The lack of objectivity shown by people is further proof of the interpretation of the news rather the the story itself. I can’t think of one story in my albeit brief history of following US politics in which there has been a consensus. Even something as widely accepted as global warming is not accepted by BushandCo, and on the other side of the fence Liberals seem unable to agree that the 94′(i think) deal with North Korea, may have played a role in their current weaponarily expansion, and that Bush may have had a lot of more “pressing” issues to deal with in the wake of the Iraq war and 9/11, no matter how much of those is his own doing. Once a major issue or story breaks, you can bet if you came to this site and say… hotair.com you’d find the exact same polar opposite views on each issue domestically.

#86 x2x: This is as good a place as any to say what’s on your mind. As far as I’m concerned it’s the best.

You’re right about most politicians simply wanting to maintain the gravy train career. But I do believe their a handful or maybe a few more that actually care about the people that live here and in the rest of the world. Just living people on a living planet. But a privileged, sinister few that want to suck the very life out of it for their personal selfish benefit ruin it for everyone else. Then all we are left with is the wonderful opportunity to become their bootlicking automatons.

2/3’s of the country which coincidently want a timeline on iraq, and disapprove of the president’s work, apparently are “leftist” crazy people, they just don’t GET it. AMerica, in all your example your points are POLITICS. If you can’t conceed that politicians on all sides will do anything to keep themselves elected then you are very misinformed. It’s the nature of politics that people spin, lie and decieve.

Yet again though, the usual neo-con strategy of using comparison to reply to facts. The democratic party is not on trial here. Their past, present or future beliefs are irrelevant. Attacking the other side, is not a defense. The last resort in any argument is to compare the problem to ones of past or present. O’Reilly does it all the time, “yeah, but don’t you see the same kind of things on the democratic side?”, “yeah, but look at Malmedy!!!”, he does it everytime he gets a dissenting guest.

Roughly 90% of people who are active in following the news, cannot be converted. Their party has already been defined, and all thats left is to wait 4 years. I don’t believe there is one single event that could massively change the split of D vs. R. People on both sides now a days, dont read the news; they interpret it. With any story or event I have yet to see a noticable change in the makeup of people’s views on it. People like this (albeit the majority) do not even need to keep up on current events, they interpret it towards their political views and then argue their side. It’s one of the most pointless and utterly predictable parts of pundits / blogs / people in general. It would take a massive, undeniable story to have a whole side in agreement. Even 9/11 split the political spectrum over intelligence failures and what to do next, the theatre is at its peak. Think to yourself of a single issue this year in which you have “switched sides”.

Even this blog itself, is heavily liberal. That’s fine, but if an issue arises that perhaps shows the strength of the republican party would it not serve the nation better to post it? This isn’t some game of team vs. team. It’s a nation of people who all need what serves them the best. Slandering, digging and misrepresenting facts to “slant” an issue to your parties favor does not serve any good (im not saying this site in particular does it). There should really not be “two sides” to every issue, just the facts and people can interpret and see them as they see fit. People should not vote against morals, but for parties. The way I see it is reporting events using any means possible to slant the story one particular way is disingenuous, and does not serve any good means. A true patriot should never spin, and never bee exclusive to one side.

I really sidetracked and had a little speech there, but its just my view of the (US) political game. Forgive me if its juvenile, or incomprehensible. I’m just a youngin’ (18) from Canada :). I’d love to see a response or other view, dunno if this is even the place to write something like this.
