		<description>McCain is just a sad sad excuse for a person. I just can&#039;t stand the sight of him anymore. It&#039;s one thing when a person is just an opportunist pure and simple, but he has just gone down hill so much within the last 7-8 years.</description>

		<description>This is the same Senate, you should recall, that recently confirmed Leslie Southwick.

Comment by Newsflash â€” November 1, 2007 @ 7:26 am

Yes, a bunch of lockstep Republican Nazi robots and a handful of Blue Dog Dem idiots, who wil also be gone. Nice of you to be so proud of your party&#039;s destruction of American justice and law, traitor.</description>

		<description>Pulmonary edema, climbing a fourteener in Colorado?  A bit dramatic perhaps?

Rocky, that&#039;s a stretch.  Mild altitude sickness and headache near the summit, yes, but c&#039;mon...it&#039;s not that high or that hard.  Bring along plenty to eat, a carbonated beverage and some aspirin.

Which Peak?  Pyramid, Capital, Maroon Bells, La Plada?  Done &#039;em.</description>

		<description>How hard is it to do the right thing?

Not that hard.

Tomorrow, I&#039;m going to climb a 14er.  How hard is that?  Well, it&#039;s snowing.  The altitude is high enough that you have to worry about High Mountain Altitude Sickness, pulmonary edema could be problematic.  

What isn&#039;t problematic is:  should we be talking war against Iran?  Should oil companies be able to blow the tops off of these mountains?  Should I be the last of my generation to watdh an eagle soar on the winds in the canyons?  or to see Big Horn Sheep graze carelessly without fear of being wiped out by a Hummer zipping along at 90 MPH or a water supply polluted with toxic waste from a mine on BLM land?

At sea level in Houston, the street lights come on mid-day due to the refineries, even at 10,000 feet you can&#039;t drink the water, at sea level, you could get shot in the face by Cheney, the Aspen are dying  . . . in a sense, we are all dying.  We elected (OR NOT), a moron.  We&#039;re all dying.  At 14,000 feet, we&#039;re safe . . . for now.

Yeah, it&#039;s hard.  We must say &quot;Get Lost.&quot; 

Lost is where we&#039;ve been for the past seven years . . . let&#039;s find the courage to impeach and re-claim our destiny.   . . . America for the people, by the people and of the people . . . truly, we&#039;ve been given the gift of the mountains, of hope and of the prospect of bountiful prosperity,  there is no mountain high enough . . . We&#039;ve been lost and now we&#039;re found.

Impeach the waterboarding fluke.</description>

		<description>Plunger,

Clearly, I was wrong.  Sorry.I agree with your position and will go to the website created on your behalf.

You have got to be an attorney.  No one else speaks in terms of &quot;but for.&quot;

I do have strong opinions but am always interested in becoming better informed. . . if &quot;Plunger&#039;s Best&quot; has that to offer, I will go there.

Thank you for reising the level of discourse.</description>

		<description>FYI:

The &quot;blog&quot; I provided you with the link to was not created by me, nor is it &quot;my blog.&quot;

It was created by an apparent fan of my research and postings - a blogger named &quot;WinterPatriot&quot; - whose research and writing I respect.  He created it without my knowledge, only informing me of it after the fact - and I have no ability to post anything there.  It is an archive of &quot;Plunger&#039;s Best&quot; - from his perspective.

If you opt not to believe me, feel free to ask him:

		<description>Of course I do not condone torture.  This country helped to create the Geneva Conventions - and had formerly held a position of moral authority with respect to the rules of warfare.

The reason the &quot;uniformed&quot; army was disbanded upon our occupation of Iraq was to ensure that the Geneva conventions would not need to be adhered to, and so that average citizens could be proclaimed to be &quot;enemy combatants&quot; - subject to TORTURE.

The term &quot;battlefield&quot; became synonymous with &quot;anywhere on planet earth that we opt to render you from in order to torture you&quot; in this phonyass &quot;War On Terror.&quot;

All Terror is POLITICAL according to our own State Department.  False Flag Terror, committed by Israel, Great Britain or the United States is largely responsible for ALL of the present issues we face.

There is no &quot;Al Qaeda&quot; but for that non-organization which our shadow government has created - in the minds of people - via the media.  &quot;Al Qaeda In Iraq&quot; is a BRAND NAME invented by Karl Rove.  It does not exist.

Read my submissions on the new thread, and see if you still question my opinions with respect to torture.</description>

Being that I am not a fan, there&#039;s no way that I&#039;m going to hit on your blog.  If you&#039;re looking to up the number of hits on your site and thereby entice advertisers . . . dream on.

You just ain&#039;t got anything I want . . . namely, integrity.  Boss is the man who knows his mind and speaks it without pause.  Boss is the man that snatches the rat and puts it out in the back yard to scamper as rats do.  Doesn&#039;t kill the rat . . . but puts on his tux knowing that that silly rat will be back to play another day.  We don&#039;t kill the rat . . . just toy with it.   . . . Gotta love the Boss.

		<description>Plunger,

I read your postings.  Yes, I really asked whether or not you condone waterboarding as anything less than torture.

I may be wrong . . . nonetheless, by asking the question, you certainly don&#039;t answer it.

What&#039;s your position?  Up or down?  Torture or not?</description>

Apparently you&#039;ve complained about my postings, without actually reading them.  Did you really ask if I condone waterboarding as anything less than torture?

		<description>Ethnic cleansing seems to be the Bush adm MO.  We ignore it because denial is a safer place than acceptance.
Bush allowed poor white and black people to drown on the Gulf Coast . . . the reason that death numbers are down in Iraq is not because we&#039;re &quot;winning the war&quot;, it&#039;s due to ethnic cleansing.  Without the presense of Sunnni, there&#039;s noone present to fight . . . the fact that the Sunni were citizens who inhabited these territories for centuries without distress with their Shia neighbors until the US showed up to save the day is irrelevant.  They&#039;re dead and gone.</description>

		<description>Poor blacks were not the only victims of Katrina . . . lots of poor whites also met their maker.

Bush didn&#039;t see this as a humanitarian disaster . . . he and Karl Rove saw it as an opportuntiy. . . . an opportunity to turn a blue state into a red state . . . that
is the reason that Bush&#039;s plane didn&#039;t touch down . . . 

Rape, assault, devestation going on in the Super Dome, and a calculated decision not to touch down.  Better a drowning state of Democrats than a lost opportunity to turn a blue state red.

Heck of a job dub&#039;ya.</description>

		<description>Happpy All Saints Day -

For all of you down on the Gulf Coast . . . 

Bless your lucky souls . . . Lake Ponchatrain may have drowned your families . . . Bush was a no show . . . but at the very (that would be VERY least) . . .

he just abandoned you for being poor black people . . .

He didn&#039;t waterboard you.

Really kind of seems the same . . . as you scramble to your attic and the water&#039;s rising . . . .but you had no leverage . . . couldn&#039;t even offer up a lie to save your soul.

I sincerely hope that you all have hope and are rebuilding.  Please let us know how we can help.  We want to, just don&#039;t know how.</description>

		<description>.

The Vietnam &quot;tortured&quot; Vet supports torture?

And he seeks to become the Commander in Cheif... why?
So he can &quot;give it to &#039;em&quot; and freely torture? or not?

McCain supports torture? Or does he?
