Right. I guess you’ve never read “A Christmas Carol”. The good hearted folks, who gave to the poor were the happy ones. (they were the progressives). It was Scrooge, (the capitalist pig who would be a neocon today) who was miserable. It was only when he realized the error of his ways, and gave wholeheartedly to Bob Crachet and his impoverished but happy family that Scrooge found true happiness.

Is cold_hard_left short for I’m cold and hard because I’m left out?

kucinich claims he’s been shut out of iowa’s process for months…

they just don’t want to hear his message…
…

i gotta get some serious house-guest preparation going…
just the grown kids, a.k.a “space invaders” (h/t zooey), but still need
to get the place “home-like”… the things we moms will do…

g’day all…

The Dem leadership has failed its mandate and the majority of the American people and it continues through today.

Waterboarding is illegal. Period.

The US has prosecuted foreigners and americans alike for waterboarding.

Why are you bringing Bill into the conversation? It was illegal then as it is now. Why are you insisting “it was on the books”? It was never “on the books” as being legal! It was always illegal.

Please respond simply to this post so we can put this dialogue to rest.

what the hell was keyes doing in the GOOP fest yesterday??

that really sucks… big time…

Did ed say why Kucinich isn’t going to be there?

You didn’t offend me, I have to care what you think before you can say anything that offends me. You just proved to me that it’s a waste of time to take you seriously.

KUCINICH not in today’s “debates” ???!!!!!

W T F !!!???

didn’t mean to ignore you… i can’t be around here much, but wanted to answer your question…

there are several shows i like to watch… sitcoms, mostly… but i have to admit a particular fondness for the grey’s anatomy… not sure how another favorite – boston legal – has kept up, doesn’t seem to be in reruns yet (but i did miss some early shows)… cbs’ mondays alway make me laugh, at least chuckle… much needed…

but i AVOID the “reality shows” like the plague they are… even ‘dancing with the faded stars’ – and i LOVE to watch dancing…

but the only shows i truly MISS are the DAILY SHOW & COLBERT…
ahh david… so sorry… but take heart – even your reruns are great, also…

I certainly agree that you don’t insult me in your posts, and I hope you’re not implying that I use those tactics in mine. I try not to use cliche lines in my arguments, but sometimes I do if I feel they’re appropriate. Not sure what you mean by “fallic” lexicon — my dictionary doesn’t have that word in it. If you mean “phallic”, I prefer not to use those terms unless I’m discussing reproductive or urinary systems. And I don’t like to resort to name-calling, as I feel it isn’t constructive (although I admit I’ve fallen to that temptation a couple of times — I’m not perfect).

That aside, you’ve made your point. However, I’d like to point out a few things:

1) Just because Clinton did something doesn’t mean that we always approved of it. An unethical, illegal, or immoral action is wrong no matter who does it. We didn’t scream for Clinton to “ban” waterboarding because it wasn’t an issue. The very few of us who even thought about waterboarding during his term assumed it was illegal already. Now if people had been getting waterboarded during this time, you can bet we’d have been screaming about it.

2) Just because Pelosi is being quiet on the issue doesn’t make it right. In case you haven’t noticed, a large number of us are critical of Nancy for a number of reasons. We don’t give her a free pass just because she happens to be “on our team.”

3) When Bush was preparing to enter the White House to begin his first term, there was a great deal of talk from his camp about restoring character, dignity, honor, etc. etc. to the White House. In other words, the talk was that they WEREN’T going to do things that Clinton did. Therefore, it seems to be a wee bit hypocritical to use that as a defense when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. After all, wasn’t Clinton an immoral reprobate not worthy of emulation? And wasn’t Bush going to reach a higher moral standard?

At least I know you can be a jerk and honest and stay worthy of a discussion. I apologize for offending you.

next time

I agree. I think actually Combat Vets should be tax exempt, too! (no sarcasm here particularly from my last post )

ABSOLUTELY… Neocons rock! (rock star fingers flashing). Who should be in the movie? Soundtrack? Oh we already have about 4 or 5 out.

But let me think on that one for a minute. Why haven’t they shown us doing that in the movies yet? I mean in current circumstance. I mean all these current movies either have soldiers as victims or victimizers. Yet we don’t have any torture-esque stuff going on against the terrorists.

Who’d play Pelosi? Glen Close? yeah just die her hair. Well no she is already in one.

Pshh!

(Skillfully avoiding any reference to your taste in television shows, I skip the preceding paragraph.) I’ll be catching up on my Netflix DVD queue, which is very long. It doesn’t look good for the Guild, frankly. I don’t think is one they’re going to win.
