You may be right on this one. Righties are much more likely to believe that there is such a thing as right and wrong. Liberals “find there own truth.”

“Yeah, and nobody is tracking your posts here so don’t worry, just keep spewing.
I was just wondering why you come to a site that doesn’t agree with your political leanings instead of going some place where people agree with you. Would you like to answer or just keep dodging the issue.

lol, no shane, no body is watching me. It’s just you THEY are after. I come here for the DIVERSITY of opinion. C’mon shane, you should have guessed that one, Bud. Just like you seek diversity of opinion rather than listening to only one side of an issue.

#95. Really? Which ones? How many? What percentage of liberals? If you’re not making a statement about liberals in general, what is your point? I took at as a general statement about liberals wanting one world government.

By the way, I’m glad to see you using a dictionary. Keep it handy.

Chimpy, my statement was most definitely a generalization. Still true, though. Check out Robert Muller and his Idea Dreams for a Better World, Parliamentarians for Global Action which is supported by Kucinich, Tom Harkin and Barney Franks among others. Also, try Citizens for Global Solutions. The latter two aren’t currently openly seeking one world government. If you read enough on their sites, you see that they acknowledge that there isn’t currently enough political support for that. So they are currently pushing “globalization” instead.
You lost me on the dictionary comment. I can’t say as I’ve had need of a dictionary for a couple months.

#92. ” guess that means that in November of 2006, the majority of Republicans woke up to the fact that the neo-cons have hijacked their party, and moved so far to the right that rather than normally supporting the Republican party were so sickened by the culture of corruption that the Bush Administration fostered in the White House and Washington DC, they voted for Democrats to help put things back on an even keel.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Demo, you aren’t even trying, now. There wasn’t a major defection of Republicans. Remeber all the Democrats that have been voting Republican in the last few elections because the Democratic Party moved so far left? They were so disillusioned with the war that they voted Dem this time.

Nice effort… This trumps all that…………..

I decided that Edwards in my opinion is ta da A BUMB back in 2004 though I did vote for him… go figure! Got that sweets?

Yes as usual Katy you are mistaken and ignorant.

i seem to recall that darth was rather appreciative of edward’s comments about the gay daughter…
it was kerry who tried but didn’t get away with it… much ado about nuttn’…

i could be mistaken myself…

She is someone not running for office being mentioned by an opponent. Edwards did something we would expect Cheney to do by using low blows, dirt and gossip. It is true that the Bush position is insane, so there was no point in Edwards joining in with poor taste of his own. By the way barfly, I voted Democratic in 2004, I didn’t like Edwards and since Kerry was related to Bush I assumed correctly that the whole thing was fixed.

Now to your comment:

I will have words with you and call you names like IDIOT, ANUS, STUPID and anything else you can imagine but it I were to bring up your wife’s drinking habit and her being a slut during my campaign that is what Edwards did and I don’t have to like gays to understand that there are things best not done when image is everything. Edwards participated with the same sort of mudslinging as Bush & Co. but they needed to appear more honorable than the Bush team…

I could go on but the point is made!

Comment by Saywho

She was the “gay spokesperson” for a major american brewer; her sexuality wasn’t a secret. Your fake disdain for Edwards masks a truer disdain for gays. Otherwise, why be bothered about her being unmasked for something she openly touted? Methinks thou dost protest too much.

And please, please, please don’t flatter yourself by saying anyone wants to become “liberal like you” Just because you can’t conceive of a true Independent, don’t deny they exist.

We’re awfully presumptuous today, aren’t we. I don’t doubt for a minute that independents exist. I saw how they shifted in the last couple of elections, especially last year’s, away from the loony right. They’ve found a lot more to like about the Democrats than the Republicans. Most independents are against Bush’s plan to keep troops in Iraq forever. Most of them have seen through Bush’s bullshit for a long time. On top of that, more people identify themselves as Democrats now than a few years ago. And, certainly more of them identify as Democrats than Republicans now.

But, when you’ve got your lips pressed firmly against Bush’s behind, it’s tough for you to make a credible case that you’re some kind of an independent. Kind of a stetch, don’t you think?

as with most, if not all, of the ME…
also, understood about obama’s measured words…
i’ll keep listening…

And again, this is why I have hope in an Obama presidency. He can bring the most hostile people together and find common ground. As Rabin said, you don’t talk peace with your friend, you talk peace with your enemy.

i’m hopeful also… i’m sure he will be president someday – if not this round, then the next… IF the dems can get back the presidency…
and the only way that will happen is OVERWHELMING VOTER TURNOUT…
remember that one?… more important than ever…

what do you think all those attorney purges were about? … i’m convinced it all goes back to the repugs trying to steel this election…
with the judges on your side, how could you loose?…

OVERWHELMING DEMOCRATIC VOTER TURNOUT … that’s how…

you can do it your way next time, sharon…

Kucinich is currently drafting legislation that would ban the purchase, sale, transfer, or possession of handguns by civilians. A gun buy-back provision will be included in the bill.

Liberals have advocated one world govt. Like I told Dem Sold earlier, I can get back to ya later with references if ya need em. Y’all have a great day, now ya hear

Really? Which ones? How many? What percentage of liberals? If you’re not making a statement about liberals in general, what is your point? I took at as a general statement about liberals wanting one world government. If you’re only talking about an isolated few of them, again, what’s your point? I can say that conservatives have advocated blowing up federal buildings, blowing up newspaper publishers, poisoning supreme court justices, assassinating heads of state, and on and on. If I’m only talking about a few of them who have actually said such things, that would seem to be a dishonest way of saying it. To me, anyway.

You weren’t trying to be dishonest, were you?

I don’t think, Juan C, that America has a right to meddle in other countries. And I do think it should pay compensation of Vietnam for the continuing tragedy of Agent Orange. I don’t think America should subvert foreign governments, invade them, or bully them into doing what’s good for America but bad for them. However, America does have the right to try to influence foreign government diplomatically and economically. And this should be done in the public interest and not the interest of the oil, drug, or arms lobby.

Whenever America sits down to talk with another country, it has to remember that there’s something the other side wants. I’m always amazed to see American commentators being abusive of France or China or whoever because they think what’s good for GM or Exxon is good for the world. It’s not. And too often the American position is straight dogma curtesy of the WSJ.

I’m not worried about Obama and AIPAC. He words himself carefully. And, if you’ve read what Haaretz has to say about him or his words in Tikkun, you’ll see he’s much more nuanced than Bush and the Christian Right. (It helps not to believe the creation of a Greater Israel will trigger the Return of Jesus Christ.)

I think you’ll find this summer will be very violent in the Middle East. It’s the 40th anniversary of the Six Day War. And anniversaries do matter. Frankly, I’m not sure what the best way forward is, but we’ve had 40 years of stalling. Israel should just annex the occupied territory and become a secular state with a Palestinian majority or return to the 1966 borders and a two state solution. Time is running out. The IDF fiasco in Lebanon last summer –the report came out today– shows that there is no military solution to what is a political problem.

And again, this is why I have hope in an Obama presidency. He can bring the most hostile people together and find common ground. As Rabin said, you don’t talk peace with your friend, you talk peace with your enemy.

I guess that means that in November of 2006, the majority of Republicans woke up to the fact that the neo-cons have hijacked their party, and moved so far to the right that rather than normally supporting the Republican party were so sickened by the culture of corruption that the Bush Administration fostered in the White House and Washington DC, they voted for Democrats to help put things back on an even keel.

Don’t worry. I’m sure the Republicans will eventually clean their party of the extremists and neo-con cabal. It won’t happen over night, nor will it happen by 2008 (I predict) so the Republicans will find themselves remaining the minotory party while the Democrats have to clean up the mess they’ve left behind over the past 6+ years.

You’re gonna be late. Hurry up and go, I need time to recover from your stinging wit.
