Snow Claims Midterm Elections Showed Americans Aren’t Concerned About Iraq
In today’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow tried to argue that the Nov. 7 midterm elections could be read as a mandate for President Bush to increase U.S. troops in Iraq:
QUESTION: Tony, the president obviously, though, did not read what happened November 7th as a mandate to start bringing troops home.
SNOW: The president believes that — if you take a look at the elections, you can read any number of messages. I mean, when people were asked in exit interviews what was their top concern, Iraq was number four; corruption was number one.
No results from the midterm elections pointed to the American public calling for an escalation of U.S. troops in Iraq. A CNN poll taken days after the election found that just 16 percent of the American public believed the President should increase U.S. troops in Iraq. In contrast, 60 percent wanted some or all troops withdrawn.
As ABC News noted, the midterm elections showed that the “war in Iraq is a serious concern.” Fifty-seven percent of voters said that they disapproved of Bush’s handling of the war.

January 8th, 2007 at 5:26 pmAnd this surprises who? In 2000 I voted for Gore and then when W was appointed, I naively assumed that losing the popular vote, most likely the electoral vote and being APPOINTED by the Supreme Court, W would have to basically “tread water” for four years. No mandate logically would mean no major shifts in any policy. Boy was I WRONG.
W doesn’t believe in anything except his absolute grasp for power. Why does it surprise anyone that an actual, proven defeat (at least his 2nd and I believe his 3rd) slow him down?
Impeach (in this order) Cheney then Bush (must be done withing hours to prevent him from appointing a new VP).

I don’t see in your small transcript where Tony Snow tried to argue that the Nov. 7 midterm elections could be read as a mandate for President Bush to increase U.S. troops in Iraq. Is there more to the transcript or maybe there is some video that would show that he indeed tried to argue that point?
January 8th, 2007 at 5:27 pmSNOW: The president believes that — if you take a look at the elections, you can read any number of messages.
Well, Tony, one message is loud and clear: the people are certainly tired of juniors flaky sh*t.
January 8th, 2007 at 5:27 pmWow. You have got to be kidding. Does this guy have any credibility left? They should institute a credibility rating (CR) for every public figure on TV. Then display it as the person speaks.

Like puppies should be the number one pet. I mean just look at them. And the latest elections show how much you all support Condi Rice. Cute in a suit. And some of the time you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at them right.
January 8th, 2007 at 5:29 pmTrue the Dems performed pitifully considering history. For a party out of power in both the houses they took fewer seats than average. This shows how disgusted the American public is with the Democrats and at that they were running on a conservative ticket. So far there actions have not held up to the image they portrayed while campaigning.
January 8th, 2007 at 5:30 pmOK, fine, he didn’t get the message as every change of seat went from Republican (OUT) to Democrat (IN)
January 8th, 2007 at 5:33 pmHere’s the message chymp.
Yuck Fou!
He is known as Whit House Presse Secretary who speaks in behalf of the White House…but I did not know that he is also a spokesman for American voter…!!

January 8th, 2007 at 5:34 pmDING DING DING!
Yes, “joeslogic” wins the prize today for the “Pulling it out of your a$$ and seeing if anyone will go for it” comment of the day. Because, according to “joe”, the sweep in the November elections for the Democrats that allowed them to gain majorities in the House and Senate for the first time in 12 years was actually…wait for it…a WIN by the Republicans and a sign that the public is “disgusted” with Dems.
Someone was talking about a hooka, I think that “joe” is bogarting it.

Yeah, Tony, and if you are insane enough you could read that the American voters support Pres Bush’s policies and the Republican party 100%. But that is not what an honest look at the elections would reveal.
Wow. There is no end to the self-delusion prevalent in the White House nowadays. Simply astounding.

Really this is just another Rightwing Spin Job. Limbaugh and Hannity were all over this after the election. They were saying the public was tired of the out of control spending and it had nothing to do with the war. blah blah blah

You’ve gotta be deeply in denial to even type such an absurd comment.
Didn’t Bill O’Reilly call Nancy Pelosi an extreme liberal? What’s conservative about that?

You expect a lot from people on the job less than a week. Odd considering you didn’t expect a fraction as much from the Republicans during the entire week they actually did any work in 2006…
But actually, you’re about to see them earn their paycheckas as the investigations into White House corrpution have already begun. Sounds like people doing exactly what they were hired to do to me…
January 8th, 2007 at 5:47 pmWhere can I get some of what this guy is smoking??????????
January 8th, 2007 at 5:49 pmLESS THAN AVERAGE what more can I say? There is always a natural balance that goes on. But this cycle the Dems had more going for them than ever. Almost total media support behind the dems. They were out of power and got to take advantage of spoiling war strategy with (TOTALLY UN-PROSECUTED LEAKS of confidential information). Absolutely no repercussions for doing so from 98 percent of the media. And with that huge massive propaganda machine. They took …… what did they take? ….. Anybody know? …..

If the American public is so thoroughly disgusted with the Democratic party that they voted Democratic candidates into office -what does it say about their feelings for Republican candidates, who couldn’t muster enough votes to remain in office?
What utter absurdity, and what a ridiculous proposition: Victory is defeat, and reaping votes reveals a lack of popular support. Puh-leeze.
January 8th, 2007 at 5:50 pmOne message was unmistakeable. Bush is a loser and America is tired of him and his lying enablers, like Tony Snow.

January 8th, 2007 at 5:55 pmRE: unbelievable # 29
Less than average is not kicking anything really.
Open your eyes I’m not talking about the election of Nancy Pelosi but since you bring it up she did run more conservative then her historic voting record. Those of us insightful enough to pay attention noticed her conservative posing
You can keep on saying it but that does not make it so. Saying it over and over does manage to influence the naive and the weak. But those who know better are just more emboldened to hold their ground on what they know is right.
January 8th, 2007 at 5:56 pmI am surprised that some people attach so much importance to THE average. After all, it is just that: An average. Half of the results will be below it, and the other half above it.
But I guess this as good an excuse as any other for some people to cling on to their self-delusions.
January 8th, 2007 at 6:00 pmAs long as you liberals leave the borders open then Tony Snow’s statement is correct.

Average is 50%. In oder to be the majority, the Dems had to have MORE THAN 50%. I repeat – nothing average about it.

The day I opened my eyes I left the Republican Party and became a liberal.
She didn’t run as anything different that usual. I used to live in San Francisco and she was my Representative.

Now if you can do it with a semi-straight face, you might be next in line for Tony’s job. Just remember–it doesn’t matter if nobody believes you. Just stick by your story no matter how silly it sounds.

Comment by unbelievable
You are quite correct, unbelievable. In the Senate, only 1/3 of the seats were up for re-election. If they were all up for re-releciton, the Repugs would certainly have lost more. Moreover, although the Democrats gained only a bare majority this time, they generally represent the most populous states, and, taken as a whole, a much larger majority of the American public. (In fact, even when they were down to 45 seats in the Senate, the states they represented accounted for a larger percentage of the American population than those with Repug Senators.)
There is truth in VerbalKint’s comment,

It wasn’t a smear campaign however. Truth does hurt.
January 8th, 2007 at 6:13 pmDaryll,
Me thinks “corruption was number one” means voters were concerned about the following scandals: Randy Cunningham, Tom Delay, Mark Foley, Bob Ney, Jack Abramoff, Michael Scanlon, David Safavian, Bill Frist, Curt Weldon, etc.
What does that have to do with any border whatsoever? Plus, if those open borders bother you so much… you know who kept them open for the past six years.

WEAK VERY VERY WEAK…….. hold on …..that’s it! They vowed to “work weak!” Right!
You know I would hope that would be the case but I really cannot see it happening. I mean really it is absurd the most corrupt party and you know there are a lot of people that are snowballed into believing the Dems are ethical. But really now come on. Harry Reid, Murtha, Jefferson. for starters just look at those four. It is going to look pretty hypocritical isn’t it? Especially when the radio media gets the truth out enough that people start asking (on a large scale) what is the televised media not letting us what talk radio is? A little confusing for people “how can it be?†they will ask. Katie Curic goes out of her way to wipe the perky smile of for a few seconds to tell America about something so concerning to her that she jus must frown just to say it and proceed to spout off these “new alligations that have prompted the Democrats to call for an investigation into …… republican …..blah blah blah.but the rumor mill around the water cooler is that there was and is much worse going on inside the Democrat party. We are so confused now which is the truth?
Fact is if they bog the system down with trials and investigations that in turn cause dreadlock, weaken security, and weaken the economy. It will be the Dems that pay in 2008. Multiply that twofold if They go after “W”.

#1……….I agree. The pursed lips thing is very purposely done. These bastards not only frame language, they have agreed upon a few “tough facial looks” and I’m sure have agreed upon them in their pathetic little secret sessions. The pursed lip thing has become as obvious, ineffectiive in conveying honesty or toughness, and it is as juvenile as Joe..SLO..gic’s posts.
January 8th, 2007 at 6:25 pmFifty-seven percent of voters said that they disapproved of Bush’s handling of the war.
Joeslogic translation: “Of course they disapproved of it. They wanted Bush to send more troops and to promise that he’d keep them there for 25 years or until every last one of them was dead, whichever comes last. But, that doesn’t mean they blame Bush for it. They know that he was forced to handle the war poorly by the liberal media and the Democrats. And Bill Clinton. If Bush is such a bad president, how come he hasn’t been impeached, yet? That proves he’s a great president.”

Jefferson was never indicted, while Tom Delay who was was allowed to stay on his Committee and on the ballot. Even though he resigned, it was We the People who voted against him – not the Republican Leadership.

If I recall correctly, Bob Ney resigned after he plead guilty. He wasn’t kicked out. Tom Delay withdrew from the race, then resigned. He wasn’t kicked out. I believe they are both still Republican party members.
At any rate, this whole thing is a distraction fom the main point: The elections are a clear indication that the electorate is finally waking up to the fact that Iraq is a disaster, and no amount of denial can hide that fact.

But Tony will say Daddy Bush and the White House with alot of GOP supporters did get 75 % of oil rates in Iraq that was approved by the puppet President Maliki. Connie Rice was correct when she said our troops death were investments in oil control in Iraq. Now Bush needs more soldiers to die to finished the job of stealing. This invasion had nothing to do with WMDs or Iraq Freedom. The fishing trip with Daddy Bush and his idiot son George was about staying the course and keep stalling for time for the public to move on to something else. The crimes by this Administration make Nixon’s crimes look small. We’re had 6 years of lies crimes and death of our soldiers as Bush tells Tony to keep lying it works.
January 8th, 2007 at 6:55 pmHey Aphro – Check out this page regarding your claim that the Republican party has a greater propensity to get listed on the police blotter:
http://www.unknownnews.net/RepublicanFamilyValues.html
Here’s just a taste:
Sept.29, 2006:
Another Republican Congressman turns out to be a skanky perv
Excerpt: Congressman Mark Foley (R-Florida), as chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children’s Caucus, had introduced legislation in July to protect children from exploitation by adults over the Internet. He also sponsored other legislation designed to protect minors from abuse and neglect.
June 28, 2006:
Republican advertising consultant behind anti-Clinton smear convicted of child molestation
Excerpt: A political consultant whose company was behind a television ad accusing the Clinton-Gore administration of giving away nuclear technology was convicted of child molestation charges.
April 28, 2006:
Defense contractor allegedly provided hookers for Cunningham
Excerpt: The allegations were raised by Mitchell Wade, another defense contractor who also has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the bribery conspiracy involving former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, the officials said. Cunningham is serving a prison term of eight years, four months after pleading guilty in November to taking $2.4 million in homes, yachts and other bribes.
Wade is cooperating with investigators as part of his plea agreement in February. He has told them that Brent Wilkes, a San Diego defense contractor who has been identified as a co-conspirator, secured prostitutes, limousines and suites at two Washington hotels for Cunningham, the officials said.
April 20, 2006:
Republican claims tight finances,
gets child support obligation cut in half,
then gives $250,000 to his own campaign for Governor
Excerpt: Scottsdale businessman Mike Harris has put $100,000 of his own money into his campaign for governor just months after convincing a judge he was too poor to make full support payments for his only child.
Harris said he got the court to cut his support payments in half, to $1,000 a month, after coming close to bankruptcy. Harris said he now is in much better financial health, which is why he has committed to spend up to $250,000 in personal funds on his bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.
But Harris said he doesn’t intend to start paying more to support John Carter, 7, who lives with his mother in Northern California. Harris, who describes himself on his campaign Web site as a “proud and loving father,” said $1,000 a month “for one kid for a four-year marriage is pretty darn generous.”
Oct. 10, 2005:
Christian Coalition head molested three family members, family says
Excerpt: After news broke that local law enforcement officials were investigating complaints that Louis Beres, longtime chairman of the Christian Coalition of Oregon, had molested three female family members when they were pre-teens, The Oregonian in Portland went out and interviewed Beres’ family members.
Two told reporters that Beres, indeed, had molested them. All three said they have been interviewed for several hours by detectives.
“I was molested,” said one of the women, now in her early 50s. “I was victimized, and I’ve suffered all my life for it. I’m still afraid to be in the same room with [Beres].”
The coalition led by Beres, 70, champions socially conservative candidates and causes. Its Web site describes the group as “Oregon’s leading grassroots organization defending our Godly heritage.” The group opposes abortion, gay rights, and stem cell research. It is affiliated with the national Christian Coalition, which was founded in 1989 by television evangelist Pat Robertson.

It is the same strategy. Foley is out of there, but Kennedy is not. And then there is the hypocrisy of it all. The Dems who feign concern about children sat on the Foley deal for almost a year to use it as an October surprise.
Don’t worry Mighty Aphrodite these idiots may spout off crap like point match and what not. You hit them where it hurts
Why because what you said had meaning and weight. They frantically hurl around a bunch of stupid kindergarten level insults with flailing arms because they have not got a leg to stand on. And then just like I mentioned before they try to act like they made a point, thinking that means they made a point. Really its like watching someone have a logical argument with a bunch of retards.
Hilarious! To bad this is a waste of my time.

January 8th, 2007 at 6:58 pmSo if you are a female, beware in the presence of Republicans. Statistically, there is a 33 to 10 likelihood that you will be propositioned by one of them, and at least two of them will be stinking drunk – and two of them will be GAY!

January 8th, 2007 at 7:04 pmThere is more than ample evidence that Hastert and other members of the Repug leadership had been informed of Foley’s perversions years before the news finally appeared in the media. We’ve all seen it, Mightette, so find a better defense or shut up. I also challenge you to produce a longer list of Democrat pedophiles than the list produced here of Repug perverts.
Bringing up Ted Kennedy again, eh? Well, how about First Lady Laura Welch Bush’s run through a stop signal that ended up killing her classmate (and rumored former boyfriend)?

January 8th, 2007 at 7:05 pmI wonder how the new Saddam video will affect our troopers on the ground over there?….
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/world/4455547.html
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A new video of Saddam Hussein’s corpse, with a gaping neck wound, was posted on the Internet early Tuesday, the second leaked release of clandestine pictures from the former leader’s hanging.
The video appeared to have been taken with a camera phone, like the graphic video of the hanging which showed guards taunting Saddam in the final moments of his life.
The footage pans up the shrouded body of the former leader from the feet. It apparently was taken shortly after Saddam was executed and placed on a gurney. He was hanged shortly before dawn on Dec. 30.
As the panning shot reaches the head region, the white shroud is pulled back and reveals Saddam’s head and neck.
His head is unnaturally twisted at a 90 degree angle to his right. It shows a gaping bloody wound, circular in shape, about an inch below his jaw line on the left side of his neck. His left cheek is marked with red blotches, and there is blood on the shroud where it covered his head.
The newest video leak was likely to increase the angry reaction over the way the execution was carried out. There already has been a global outcry about the undignified manner in which the Shiite-dominated government hanged Saddam, a Sunni.
The 27-second video was posted on an Iraqi news Web site that is known to support Saddam’s outlawed Baath Party.
“A new film of the late immortal martyr, President Saddam Hussein,” the web site said in a headline over a link to the video.

At 31 I went backpacking through Europe with a friend who was unplugging himself from his own conservative Christian roots, and it gave me the courage to start questioning my own life philosophies that I’d been given rather than chosen.
Once I began to question it, it unraveled so quickly there was little in the way to deny that reality definitely has a liberal bias. Life is also less stressful, and far more enjoyable without all the superfluous conservative rules, paranoia and general malaise that comes from focusing on what you are not and what you don’t have.

January 8th, 2007 at 7:16 pmAny explanation of why gay escort ($200/hr, $1200 for weekends)-cum-phony journalist Jeff Gannon/James Guckert was visiting this “very moral” White House even when there were no press conferences?
Anyway, folks, we’ve let the trolls bring this thread way off topic, which is Tony’s attempt at another snowjob.
I’m thinking about asking MA out on a date. =)

Wow. Just when we thought we had seen it all, joeslogic takes it to the next level.
Impressive, joeslogic, very impressive. How will you ever surpass this fine moment? Surely you have reached the pinnacle of joelogical thinking and it is all downhill from here.
January 8th, 2007 at 7:17 pmYo Ho – The solution is to impeach the smarmy bastard in office, but the democrats won’t even do that. If we have to march to demand the new congress to end the war, then they weren’t listening before, during or after the midterm elections. How many people in this group feel that congress should have a clue and know we want out of the war? Anyone studder?
January 8th, 2007 at 7:18 pmDear Joe – Funny thing about Progs – they swear they care about women – except the one’s harrassed or killed by Dems.
Monica Lewinsky seduced Bill Clinton… NOT the other way around.
And how about the boy Laura Bush intentionally killed?
Gotta run – keep up the GOOD work….

And before I even get started don’t try to resort to that pathetic
“I’m offended … I’m patriotic” Crap
It was your words quoted from your own statement. You vile disgusting sick degenerate.
Deep down your denial means nothing amongst this pack of liars. You are probably wringing you’re hands with baited breath in anticipation of a headline about some troops getting blown away.
God it stinks in here!
And the sick thing is your bedfellows here in this sight will rally to your defense. After the denial wears away they know they are right there with you same hopes and dreams of dead soldiers and communist rule.
January 8th, 2007 at 7:20 pmTau, you wanna date the Mighty Moron? EEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!! You must REALLY be hard up.

Too many of the core dems are DLC. They may have ridden into office on an anti-war mandate, but they won’t neccessarily honor it, political expediency is an old habit and Rahm Emmanuel et. al are as beholden to the corporate power structure as any rethug. Thats why I became a Green. We the people will have to march, again and again, until chimpy is impeached and our foreigbn policy is returned to the hands of saner people, if the chimp doesn’t blow us all up first.

Thanks for once again pointing out that the Dems have to clean up the sh*t that the Repubs left in Congress all these years.

Actually my neighbor, and a great friend, is retired USAF guy, (as my father was so I can relate) and even he is starting to think this is a boondoggle. As per the discussion we had we can either untie the hands of the Marines and the Army, and let them do their Job, or we need to get out. Otherwise it will just become another Vietnam.

January 8th, 2007 at 7:41 pmSure we can make all kinds of great theories, and try to frame all Democrats because of one incident, but you know that is just pure mental masturbation.
Lets use your kennedy logic and apply it to Foley.
If Foley is a pervert, why then all Republicans must be perverts, and that is a foolish argument, especially coming from a person (MA) that is supposed to be some kind of laywer (or legal aide)

She died, and he swam across the lake to his house. I have no infinity for Teddy, and he was probably more pissed off that he didn’t get any. Now lets talk about the real issues. Impeaching your furor for crimes against humanity. You boot licking koolaid drinking ass. To think that somehow Kennedy, and how he got away with murder compares to what this straussian neo-fascist has done to this country even compares? Hell no.

January 8th, 2007 at 9:08 pmSURGE======ESCALATION
Escalation is the phenomenon of something getting more intense step by step, for example a quarrel, or, notably, military presence and nuclear armament during the Cold War. (Compare to escalator, a device that lifts something to a higher level.) The term is said to be originally coined by Herman Kahn.
In psychology it is a change in behaviour, usually from stable or acceptable towards unstable or unacceptable.
January 8th, 2007 at 9:12 pm“And how about the boy Laura Bush intentionally killed?â€
But yet you say the same thing about Kennedy MA.
Shall we blame all the Republicans for the next forty years for what happened to Lauras schoolmate?
And that is the problem with your “breast stroke” Kennedy argument. Inane logic bolstered by inane rhetoric coupled with groupthink.
So when are we gonna go out MA? Don’t worry MA I don’t smoke cigars and you can bring your leather whips if you want.

January 8th, 2007 at 9:32 pmmighty aphrodite you never try picking on me? The Reich calling you back for dinner. If your such a big man conservative dude, and you seem to be an apologist for the Furor. I assume you voted for the Chimpboy? Correct? Tell me this; if your such a conservative then why did you vote for this president? NeoCon ideologies are based in Straussian’s interpretation of Machiavellian logic. As did the NeoCons, Hitler used religion as Machiavelli recommended: “as a tool of political influence and control”.
Many different characteristics are attributed to fascism by different scholars, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, authoritarianism, militarism, corporatism, anti-liberalism, and anti-communism. Wow that sure sounds like present day America to me?
Strauss noted that thinkers of the first rank, going back to Plato, had raised the problem of whether good and effective politicians could be completely truthful and still achieve the necessary ends of their society. By implication, Strauss asks his readers to consider whether “noble lies” have any role at all to play in uniting and guiding the polis. He believed that the “ends justified the means” at all costs as Machiavelli coined.
Just something to think about?

January 8th, 2007 at 9:36 pmMightette Hypocrite,
January 8th, 2007 at 9:37 pmYou should realize by now that every time you bring up Ted Kennedy’s accident, someone here will remind you of the Laura Welch Bush-caused collision, which similarly caused a young person to die. Both fatal accidents occurred in the 1960s. For more recent Repug accident history, how about this from wikipedia?
“On August 16, 2003, (Republican Governor of S. Dakota) Janklow was involved in a fatal traffic collision when the white Cadillac he was driving hit motorcyclist Randolph E. Scott at a rural intersection near Trent, South Dakota. Scott, a 55-year-old from Minnesota, was thrown from his motorcycle and killed instantly. Janklow suffered a broken hand and bleeding on the brain. In the ensuing investigation of the accident, it was determined Janklow was likely driving at least 70 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone. ” Wikipedia goes on to explain that Janklow had a history of getting speeding tickets. He was also once cited, when Attorney General of SD, for sexual misconduct with a native American woman, though the charges were later dropped.
And what? No explanation of Jeff Gannon’s frequent visits to the WH?! I didn’t think so.
chimpeach,
They just make shit up, and then shout to the heavens that it’s true, swear to god. The sad thing is, people like us are the only ones calling them on their bullshit. The sheeple lap that crap up.
January 8th, 2007 at 9:40 pm#167 joeslogic
You are probably wringing you’re hands with baited breath in anticipation of a headline about some troops getting blown away.
And, employing that same awesome Joes Logic, it’s fair to say that Joe and all his right-wing buddies were giggling like schoolgirls when the World Trade Center came crashing down, because they knew how much it would help Bush’s sagging poll numbers and give the Republicans something to scare voters with for years to come.
Likewise, using Joes Logic, we see that escalating the war and keeping it going forever would be great, because it would help make sure that Bush didn’t get blamed for losing it. So what if it gets dumped in somebody else’s lap? The important thing is making sure Bush doesn’t get blamed for anything. It’s joelogical.
Is that about right, Joe?
January 8th, 2007 at 9:52 pmS’matter Joe? Did I put a weed up your ass? I never mentioned anything about first Stepford Laura’s car crash anywhere before tonight.

January 8th, 2007 at 11:13 pmAnd this surprises who? In 2000 I voted for Gore and then when W was appointed, I naively assumed that losing the popular vote, most likely the electoral vote and being APPOINTED by the Supreme Court,
With All due respect sir, The Supreme Court only told the Florida Supreme Court that they COULD NOT RE-WRITE THE ELECTION LAWS in the State of Florida. George W. Bush WON the 2000 Presidential Election because he got the Most Electoral Votes. Please STOP spreading LIES about the 2000 Election. Al Gore was a LOSER and so was Johh Kerry — neither on was fit to be Head Dog Catcher!!!!!
January 8th, 2007 at 11:58 pmFor the trolls with a cigar hang-up,
Former Repug House Majority Leader Tom Delay also has some issues concerning cigars. From wikipedia,
“In April 2005, Time Magazine published a photo from a July 2003 trip to Israel, in which DeLay is seen smoking a Cuban cigar.[44] The consumption or purchase of Cuban cigars is illegal in the United States (but was, at the time, not illegal abroad). Since September 2004, the U.S. Treasury Department’s enforcement of the law has been toughened to forbid consumption (smoking) or purchase of Cuban cigars by U.S. citizens anywhere in the world.[45] As Cuban cigars have been a (if not the) central symbol of the U.S. embargo on Cuban trade, DeLay’s action – apparently contradicting his well-known and strongly-stated personal convictions regarding Cuba – was widely reported.”
Also, once when toting a cigar in his mouth in a cafeteria within a Congressional building, he was told by a waitress that it is illegal to smoke on federal government property. His retort was something like “I am the federal government.” Great guy, I’m sure you miss him a lot, Mightette, Joe and rachel b.
January 9th, 2007 at 12:02 amYou trolls insist on having it BOTH ways, a consensual bj is the crime of the century, but an illegal and unjustified war based on lies is A-OK by your standards.
Excuse ME… Slick Willy was IMPEACHED for LYING UNDER OATH, which is called PERJURY!!!! Most other people who commit perjury would go to jail. A Federal Judge Ordered “Scum Bag” Clinton to pay $850,000.00 to Paula Jones and she stripped him of his Law License in AR. Please don’t sidetrack the issue by stating the obvious — consenual sex between 2 adults is legal. Cheating on your LESBIAN WIFE IS NOT!!!!!
January 9th, 2007 at 12:05 amSince September 2004, the U.S. Treasury Department’s enforcement of the law has been toughened to forbid consumption (smoking) or purchase of Cuban cigars by U.S. citizens anywhere in the world.
Dear Misinformed — The U. S. Treasury Dept. has NO JURISDICTION OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. They CANNOT STOP any American from purchasing or smoking a Cuban Cigar if it is done outside the U. S.

The point, Mr. Neverland, is Tom Delay’s hypocrisy in constantly denouncing Cuba while purchasing Cuban cigars. Also, his contempt for the law forbdidding smoking (whether Cuban cigars or American cigarettes) within federal buildings.

Yes, very fruitless: one William Jefferson vs. Bob Ney, Duke Cunningham, Jack Abramoff, ex-Ohio governor Taft, Tom Delay, Bill Frist (under investigation for insider trading), the GOP people in New Hampshire now in prison for blocking telephone lines during an election. etc. Too many Repugs to remember in one breath.
January 9th, 2007 at 12:32 amBush may have won the electoral vote in 2000 (and by a mere 537 votes in Florida), but Gore beat him by over 500,000 nationwide in what you call Repugnacant country. Why don’t you come back in late 2008, and we’ll see if your prediction is true then?
You know Greg the supreme court actually ruled on this matter and didn’t send it back to the lower court. Also, Tuesday, Dec. 12—The U.S. Supreme Court rules in Bush v. Gore 7–2 to reverse the Florida Supreme Court, which had ordered manual recounts in certain counties. The Court contends that the recount was not treating all ballots equally, and was thus a violation of the Constitution’s equal protection and due process guarantees. So, if the Florida Supreme court would have not just focused on the two counties and instead mandated a recount in all counties, the supreme court would have ruled in favor of Gore. Instead, by the time it got back to the Florida Supreme court it too late. The deadline to file any more petitions ran out. Actually, Gore lead in both the national popular count and the electoral college even with the 357 votes tied up in Florida. So sir with all due respect bl*w me!
Tuesday, Dec. 12—The U.S. Supreme Court rules in Bush v. Gore 7–2 to reverse the Florida Supreme Court, which had ordered manual recounts in certain counties. The Court contends that the recount was not treating all ballots equally, and was thus a violation of the Constitution’s equal protection and due process guarantees. The Supreme Court of Florida would be required to set up new voting standards and carry them out in a recount. The justices, however, split 5–4 along partisan lines about implementing a remedy. Five justices maintain that this process and the recount must adhere to the official deadline for certifying electoral college votes: midnight, Dec. 12; other justices question the importance of this date. Since the Court makes its ruling just hours before the deadline, it in effect ensures that it is too late for a recount. The decision generates enormous controversy. Those objecting to the ruling assert that the Supreme Court, and not the electorate, has effectively determined the outcome of the presidential election. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg writes in a scathing dissent, “the Court’s conclusion that a constitutionally adequate recount is impractical is a prophecy the Court’s own judgment will not allow to be tested. Such an untested prophecy should not decide the Presidency of the United States.â€
January 9th, 2007 at 12:48 amNice of Tony Snowjob to finally admit that the Republican party is corrupt! Perhaps we can see him call a reporter names for quoting him on that statement!

Greg Nevins; Bush, Cheney, et al took oaths to uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution. Lying to Congress is a felony-just ask Ollie North. Not only have this administration lied to Congress and committed high crimes and misdemeanors, but violated the UN charter, the Nuremberg rulings, and the Geneva conventions, and U.S. laws(these ARE U.S. laws as well). As such, they should not only be impeached, but hailed, tried, convicted, and executed for the war criminals they are.

January 9th, 2007 at 7:45 amWalter E. Evans has double-posted on #240 and 241, and has also posted the exact thing on the Geraldo Rivera thread (and perhaps others). As his language is not abusive, I don’t think he is violating the Terms of Use enough to be banned. But shouldn’t once be enough for his statement?
Walter,
January 9th, 2007 at 8:21 amAlthough I may not like all of your message, I respect your right to release it. I have no trouble with your doing it once on one thread but not everywhere, okay? And it would be best for you that way, or else some people may start accusing you of being a troll. Your apology is accepted.

January 9th, 2007 at 8:30 amI am not enough of a technological whiz to explain how things sometimes get double (or even triple and quadriple)-posted unbeknownst to the sender, just as I’m not sure how my attempt at a message in #242 got posted before I wrote it out. (It could be because the cat sleeping next to the computer stretched out one of her paws without my noticing it.) All I know is that these things sometimes happen, so I will accept that the double-posting here is not intentional. However, I’m sure you must realize you have posted the same message elsewhere on TP, and I am merely suggesting that you reign it in, okay?
Have a good day.
Usually the reson for the “double posting” could be as simple as double-clicking on the “Post” button, or because you don’t see your article appear instantly so you re-enter the entire thing.
You have to remember that the database in which responses are stored does not always immediately update and show your post. Once you’ve entered your response and pressed “Post”, go have a walk or check out the other articles, THEN come back to see if there were any responses to your post.
Something I love are the people who complain bitterly about how everything is to PC (Politically Correct) nowadays. They forget that PC started with “Oh, you find the word ‘nigger’ offensive? OK, what word do you want me to use instead?”
If you’re completely against everything PC, then you should start using the word ‘nigger’ in your everyday speech. I’m just sayin’. . . . .

January 9th, 2007 at 9:16 amYour explanation about double-posting may be valid for a blog like this one. However, sometimes my regular e-mail in-box contains mail that has been double, triple, and even quadruple or more-posted, perhaps because the Send key was hit too hard, or some other reason. If you have a better explanation for that, I would love to hear it, as I am admittedly not a technological whiz.
Have a good day!
Jane – Flawed “millenium†“argument, Jane. When the wack-o-voters of Mass. keep sending the lying scum, Senator Ted back to Congress – it is current….There’s a reason the statute of limitations does not apply to murder….(But let me compliment on your new-found use of gutter speak.)

It’s a democracy and the voters voted for him. It’s been 40 freaking years, just deal with it. And if you think that ’shit’ and ‘crap’ = gutter speak, you’re awfully naive.

Very weak even for you, Mightette Hypocrite. F- for shooting.
January 9th, 2007 at 5:21 pmWhy not just have the daily breifing broadcast on Faux?
Not much difference in what we are getting.
January 9th, 2007 at 5:34 pmOk all you sick degenerates. I came back to find nothing. I was hoping for a fight you all need a good philosophical nose bleed. To bad you keep it buried in the sand.
Spelling heh is that all that you got?
Now since you know you are wrong on the issue of that scumbag senator in MA and know quite well that comparing him to Laura is apples to oranges.
Lets here the next argument that you sick Dems were not aware of the Foley issue well in advance of the “October Surprise” time frame.
When did the Dems find out?
SPIT IT OUT. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
January 9th, 2007 at 8:13 pmYou all are a spineless, principal less, shifty bunch.
January 9th, 2007 at 8:15 pmNo, Joe, it’s not just spelling; you can’t even count (ie. listing three names and saying there are four). You also have nothing to say but a lot of insults. Yes, we are “principal less,” as “principal” means the “head of a school.” We’re adults here and no longer go to school. Maybe your principal ought to give you a spanking because you are “principle-less.”
To the Administrator,
January 10th, 2007 at 3:32 amIsn’t it about time to ban this troll, who has no arguments to present–just a bunch of poorly written insults? He has violated yours “Terms of Use” several times.
#255 Mightette Aphid,
January 10th, 2007 at 8:45 amFormer SD Governor Janklow resigned his seat in the House of Representatives only because he was convicted of manslaughter and was about to be imprisoned. Now out of prison, he works as a lobbyist like so many other Repug scoundrels.
You can spin this all you like, it is a fatal accident caused by a Republican that occurred this millennium–not some four decades ago like Ted Kennedy’s and Laura Bush’s crash.
BTW, your reference to me with sexual innuendoes is about is sick as your dead child joke: DOA.
