&lt;em&gt;&quot;No, but he has repeatedly...&quot; &lt;/em&gt;

Check your sources. I&#039;m not gonna waist my time digging what else did you miss or teach you how to read the news. 

&lt;em&gt;&quot;Itâ€™s somewhat unclear...&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

&quot;...to Jim&quot; would be accurate end of this sentence. Learned English at school? 

&quot;You know, ...&quot; 

I do. You provide a false information. Or, testimony is it called in a Court of Law?

You see, I did not learned English at shcool.

Did I spell that right?</description>

Why try to prove your reputation, babe? 

You do not think it&#039;s known broadly enough?

Go Hollan Heights, get an AK, sit and wait. When IDF comes to clean up the place, you&#039;ll argue all the way till Damaskus. If your bottom still shake that is.</description>

		<description>#72: &lt;em&gt;Bolton is not dissolving UN.&lt;/em&gt;

No, but he has repeatedly said that he opposes its existence.  In a now-famous speech at the World Federalist Association, Bolton declared that &quot;there is no such thing as the United Nations.&quot; He added: &quot;If the UN secretary building in New York lost ten stories, it wouldn&#039;t make a bit of difference.&quot;

&lt;em&gt;Neither do Condy or George W.&lt;/em&gt;

It&#039;s somewhat unclear what Rice&#039;s or Bush&#039;s views are on the U.N.  They both show contempt for it when it doesn&#039;t do what they want, but when they get into a tight spot, they enlist the help of the U.N.  They don&#039;t have a coherent position.

You know, you haven&#039;t addressed any of my questions about your accusations of my being un-democratic.  I consider this a serious accusation, and I expect you to justify yourself.</description>

&lt;em&gt;â€œOkay, Iâ€™m curious. What, exactly, do I support, if not democracy? And in exactly what ways am I intolerant? And how are you such a skilled mind reader? Iâ€™m, like, so impressed.â€
&lt;/em&gt;

Good. These are all good questions. Importantly â€“ you started asking yourself these questions. Being self-critical is a pre-condition to true healthy constructive critical capacity.

&lt;em&gt;â€œIn a Pew poll, 92% of Americans said that strengthening the U.N. should be a foreign policy goal  for the United States.â€ &lt;/em&gt;

Right.

&lt;em&gt;â€œThe poll didnâ€™t ask if people think the U.N. should be dissolved (Boltonâ€™s position), but it couldnâ€™t be higher than 8%.â€
&lt;/em&gt;

Read my other posts on 

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/07/27/bolton-sudan/#comments

Bolton is not dissolving UN. Neither do Condy or George W.

&lt;em&gt;â€œA variety of things. Are you actually curious? I didnâ€™t think so.â€&lt;/em&gt;

I do.

&lt;em&gt;â€œInteresting, too, that you were silent on my proposals for improving democracy in the United States. Should I take that as a silent acknowledgement that your rhetoric about â€œdemocracyâ€ is actually a lot of hot air?â€&lt;/em&gt;

No. 
It is a big, big issue. Itâ€™ll take a long, long time to see a change from status quo.

		<description>I think Bush will be able to depend on Lieberman. He is as dependable to Republicans as Tom Delay was only Lieberman&#039;s huge financial resources actually come from corporations and his policy positions directly from AIPAC. Don;t hold your breath waiting for Lieberman to take a position that puts the US interests ahead of Israeli interests.</description>

		<description>Well, Joe&#039;s concern over keeping his job may have some influence on how he might vote this time. Given that he needs every Democratic vote that he can get, pissing them off even more by supporting Bush again, just days before the Primary election, would be a risk he might not want to take. That said, if that was not the case, OF COURSE he would vote for him. If Joe keeps his job, he will make it up to them on some other vote.</description>

		<description>#54: &lt;em&gt;What Iâ€™m not suggesting is that Congress should give in to his every request, but a respect for the institutions themselves never hurts.&lt;/em&gt;

Maybe you could define what you mean when you refer to &quot;respect for the institutions.&quot;  Under extreme circumstances, for example, I wouldn&#039;t consider a filibuster to be a violation of &quot;respect for the institutions.&quot;</description>

		<description>#55: Diebold is certainly a problem.  When the CEO of the company that tallies votes (with no paper trail, mind you) says he is &quot;committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year,&quot; we have a problem.  We will never know if Bush legitimately won the 2004 election, since we cannot ever verify the vote tally.  The exit polls suggest that the vote may have been tainted.  But we will never know.  That is a very serious problem.

But I am happy to say that I agree enthusiastically with your proposed solutions.  I do worry a little bit about there being a wide disparity in populations between election districts, but I wholeheartedly support the spirit of your idea.  Election districts should not be shaped like plumber&#039;s wrenches or miniature statuettes of liberty.</description>

When the CEO of the company that tallies votes (with no paper trail, mind you) says he is &#8220;committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year,&#8221; we have a problem.  We will never know if Bush legitimately won the 2004 election, since we cannot ever verify the vote tally.  The exit polls suggest that the vote may have been tainted.  But we will never know.  That is a very serious problem.</p>
<p>But I am happy to say that I agree enthusiastically with your proposed solutions.  I do worry a little bit about there being a wide disparity in populations between election districts, but I wholeheartedly support the spirit of your idea.  Election districts should not be shaped like plumber&#8217;s wrenches or miniature statuettes of liberty.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=693152', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>#57: &lt;em&gt;You support something different. Democracy among other things means tolerant. &lt;/em&gt;

Okay, I&#039;m curious.  What, exactly, do I support, if not democracy?  And in exactly what ways am I intolerant?  And how are you such a skilled mind reader?  I&#039;m, like, so impressed.

&lt;em&gt;Says who? You? Well then, we all have to listen to what you have said, because thetâ€™s how democratic you are.&lt;/em&gt;

You&#039;re free to decide whether or not you should listen to me.  It&#039;s pretty clear that you&#039;ve made your decision.  But what I said was true.  In a Pew poll, 92% of Americans said that strengthening the U.N. should be a foreign policy goal for the United States.  The poll didn&#039;t ask if people think the U.N. should be dissolved (Bolton&#039;s position), but it couldn&#039;t be higher than 8%.

&lt;em&gt;you are such a darling&lt;/em&gt;

Thank you.

&lt;em&gt;Do you actually do anything besides thinking?&lt;/em&gt;

A variety of things.  Are you actually curious?  I didn&#039;t think so.

Interesting, too, that you were silent on my proposals for improving democracy in the United States.  Should I take that as a silent acknowledgement that your rhetoric about &quot;democracy&quot; is actually a lot of hot air?</description>

		<description>When the chips are down, Lieberman votes with Republicans, so the odds are now in Bolton&#039;s favor.  But what will that mean for Joe in the D primary?  That vote should move any remaining fencesitters over to Lamont.</description>

&lt;em&gt;HEY NEW YORKERS - PLEASE HEED THE CALL TO OUST HILLARY - PLEASE!

her opponent:

On Israel, We Must Never Be Silent
by Jonathan Tasini
When I announced that I was entering the race for the US Senate, I began with a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.: â€œOur lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.â€ I am not a professional politician whose sole goal is to accumulate power, so I have the freedom to speak my mind and I will not be silent.

Excellent!  If I were a New Yorker, this guy would for sure get my vote.  A truly decent human being.</description>

		<description>This paragaph from the IPS article TP linked pretty much says it all.

&quot;One would think that Israel and members of the American Jewish community would want someone helping to steward their concerns in the UN who was actually good at achieving stabilising results that can stand the test of time,&quot; he noted. &quot;Bolton blows things up, and we&#039;ve had enough of that in the Middle East.&quot; (END/2006) &quot;</description>
