		<description>Upright Loon today, after I suggested that the Israeliâ€™s might have done a &gt;better job of invading Iraq than we did 

Hey, wasn&#039;t that the POINT? To have the US fight Isreali wars for them?

It really isn&#039;t right to pin this ALL on Republicans, although I do recognize that posting about Iraqgate probably isn&#039;t going to be too popular on this site.  It&#039;s still hovering around IN THE BACKGROUND, though, and time will show that hard questions are still going to be asked about it before any election with Hiliary in it comes to be ... How can CONgress be so dense? Well, the bribery and corruption rampant in DC would seem to cover that area pretty well.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s keep in mind that republicans roundly criticized Kerry and Edwards for suggesting that the war would cost more than $300 billion. Do conservatives hold repubs responsible for their horrible miscalculations and lying about the costs of the war? Of course not. Edwards was right on about the cost of the war, but he does live in a big house and spends a lot on his haircuts. Kerry? Well, he practices the vile habit of board surfing.</description>

		<description>Michael: &quot;Disastrous war? Please explain?&quot;

Michael evidently also doesn&#039;t understand how a war which the OMB says will cost every man, woman and child in the USA $8,000 apiece not counting interest on the foreign debt used to finance.

And, on top of that, Michael wants to know &quot;how is this a failed war?&quot;

Michael evidently revels in his cluelessness and loves to post obnoxious, obtuse, absurd questions as if they were subject to debate. I suggest that nobody here even attempt to explain ANYTHING to this sick sociopathic cultist.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Where the hell are our feeble Congressional minds right now? This war is a sham - an expensive, bloody sham which was all about â€œblood for oilâ€ in the first place.
Comment by Veritas&lt;/em&gt;

It isn&#039;t a way and we need to stop calling it one.  Calling it a war gives it legitimacy.  What we are in is an occupation of a foreign country that doesn&#039;t want us there.  You can&#039;t &quot;win&quot; an occupation.  All you can hope for is the complete subordination of the populace, but that is in no way &quot;winning&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I would also suggest that we report them for abuse and ask that they be removed from the TP site.
Comment by hterrya&lt;/em&gt;

We could do that.  But it would be ever so much more entertaining to just ignore them and watch them start screaming, waving their hands in the air saying &quot;look at me&quot;.  Because that&#039;s what happens when we ignore them.  Poor Jake had to come back as a new personality because no one would talk to him any more.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;BAHAHA, well lets see. Things are worse there than before we started. There are more terrorists, more regional conflicts brewing, and weâ€™ve wasted 2 trillion in American dollars to MAKE THINGS WORSE!

Then again, you wingnuts wouldnâ€™t know success if it bit you on your selfish â€˜tarded *sses!

Comment by republicans hate facts â€” October 25, 2007 @ 2:01 am&lt;/i&gt;

Um, how does that make it a failed war?  

All the administration has to do is change the metrics and say that their intent was to create more terrorists, destabilize the region, blow $2.4 trillion of China&#039;s money, and cause death or severe injury to thousands of Americans, and kill or displace millions of innocent Iraqis.  

By that standard, this war has been a resounding success.  MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!</description>

		<description>At least the Poles have the presence of mind to admit their mistake in being duped by Bush&#039;s lies and cut their losses before it&#039;s too late.  No doubt that a &quot;leave Iraq now&quot; platform wins elections there!  Where the hell are our feeble Congressional minds right now?

Polish elections too. The Poles just voted in a government which ran on the &quot;Lets get the heck out of Iraq&quot; ticket.

So much for the coalition of the willing hey?</description>

Please help remove &lt;strong&gt;ALL&lt;/strong&gt; the  trolls from the TP site, by reporting them &lt;strong&gt;EVERY TIME&lt;/strong&gt; they distract from the topic, as this troll &lt;strong&gt;ALWAYS&lt;/strong&gt; does.

The topic:  Republican irresponsible &lt;strong&gt;&quot;NO SHOWS&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; at an &lt;strong&gt;IMPORTANT&lt;/strong&gt; House Budget Committee meeting.  

Personal and collective responsibility and accountability on the part of self-labeled &quot;conservatives&quot; seem to be non-existent.</description>

		<description>But, but, youâ€™re the majority? And you still arenâ€™t smart enough to beat us! All the talk about how you were going to make major changes in the first 100 days?

michael, despite your repeated boasting here over the months about your &quot;superior&quot; private school education, you&#039;re still not educated or smart enough even to know about the origins of the National Guard--let alone to distinguish between the usage of a question mark (?) and a period (.)  You&#039;re too stupid even to realize that you&#039;ve been beaten at every point you&#039;ve brought up here.</description>

		<description>&gt;Hypocritical old fool! 

His writing and capitalization style does not resemble that of an old man. I have yet to see any old people who rely so heavily on thier caps lock key to try to add weight to thier arguments. all it does it make him look like a hysterical pre-pubescent fool. if he&#039;s not a teenage kid, he does a darn good job of acting like one..</description>

		<description>oh, and mikey, for the record, where do you stand on adoption?.. you know... any parent in the united states can give thier kid up for adoption, at which point the kid becomes 100 percent reliant on you, the taxpayer. 

how do you feel about that micheal? which is worse, an abortion you dont have to pay for, or an unwanted child who lives solely off your tax dollars?</description>
