â€œ..I donâ€™t think Americans are concerned if weâ€™re there for one hundred years or a thousand years or ten thousand years. â€

So Shaddam IV will still keep troops in Iraq?

RickS, I read Dune this summer for the first time-I swear I nearly choked when I read that comment, hilarious! Sometimes the funny comes out of nowhere. 10,000 years in Iraq? Jesus help me! or should Muad’Dib be more appropriate? I swear sometimes these republicans kill me.

Iowa is a slightly red stateâ€”maybe 51%-48% (wild guess), but they just had 239,000 for the Dem caucus and 118,000 for the Repub caucus. And it was more difficult to attend the Dem caucus.

Yep. I’ve been crowing about it since I saw the first reports. Very encouraging!

If the trend continues? This race could be over, for the Republicans, by Super Tuesday. It’s also a strong sign that Reps are going to be slaughtered in congressional races. 2-1 margins don’t just disappear.

Approve Disapprove Unsure

If all that 66% gets off their butts and actually go vote we may overide the gerrymandering and Diabold “rigging” like we did in 2006, we may be able to turn this around after all.

And hold trials for all those involved from the doings, to those who ordered them ( Cheney, Bush, etc ) to the coveruppers

I would encourage Senator Candidate McCain to continue to spout this drivel, especially in light of this:

NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll conducted by the polling organizations of Peter Hart (D) and Bill McInturff (R). Dec. 14-17, 2007. N=1,008 adults nationwide. MoE Â± 3.1 (for all adults).

“In general, do you approve or disapprove of the job that George W. Bush is doing in handling the situation in Iraq?” Half sample, MoE Â± 4.4 (Form B)

Approve Disapprove Unsure

Well, well. The entire RNC pep squad (second string, weekend edition) shows up, and leaves without a single defense of McCain’s insane statements.

Is it just me, or, have the trolls lost their swagger? It must suck to be them.

with a comment like that….makes me think we shouldn’t give a damn how long you should have stayed a prisoner of war.

btw – pork barrell spending represents a paltry amount of money compared to the billions in your overseas imperialistic mercantilism john.

go put your arms up in ropes for another seven years why don’t you…

Who did more to get al Qaeda, Clinton or W? Richard Clarke is the expert. He said Clinton did a lot and W did nothing. Read his book.

Bush/cheney/Rice are the ones to blame for the failure to defend the country. they were the ones on vacation after endless warnings; they were the ones who threw away years of Intel because it was Clinton’s; they were the ones behaving like spoiled brats instead of dojng their jobs. That’s what history says, and will say, forever. You troll cowards will enver live that down. Conservatives suck at national security, and everything else.

So now conjecture and what-ifs are an education? I can play that game if you wanna go there. Clinton had Osama and let him go, coulda prevented 9/11 and possibly the 200 elections going how they did.

Comment by phantasyman â€” January 6, 2008 @ 8:24 pm

I’m enjoying the idiocy of the right claiming that getting Osama one way or another would have stopped 9/11. 9/11 happened because Al Qaeda saw the USA put into office a jerkwad eminently unqualified to defend the USA. osama had little or nothing to do with it; it was a crime of opportunity. The one sure thing we know is that the theft of the presidency by Rove caused the success of 9/11. Gore would never have been asleep at the wheel the way Bush/Cheney were. and Osma wasn’t a factor in the attacks, was he? he wasn’t anywhere near, not could he have physically managed to feat. Straw men, all around, that’s all the right has, the blame game. Well, take some personal responsibiulity instead of just talking about it. Bush failed to defend the country, case closed.

Then what did you expect Bush to do just 8 mos. in office?

If Bush didnâ€™t â€œignore the intelligenceâ€ what did you expect him to have done? Take him out to Golden Corral and beg him not to attack us?

Comment by The Clear Conservative â€” January 6, 2008 @ 8:55 pm

No, idiot. Obviously, something happened between March 1996 and September 2001 and bin Laden organized several direct attacks on the US. AFTER the incident with Sudan.

You don’t even try to think anything through, do you?

Gummitch, I see youâ€™re doing everything in your powers to rile me up. But Fred (a.k.a. multitasKING) has already cooled down the phantasymachine for tonight. Iâ€™ll be glad to show you how foolish Iâ€™ve been and how foolish you still are at another timeâ€¦ be sure to tune in tomorrow, same Phantasy time, same Phantasy channelâ€¦

Comment by phantasyman â€” January 6, 2008 @ 9:01 pm

Rile you up? Is that how you view someone offering actual evidence that contradicts your claims? Good timing there with the “gotta run”; next time around you can pretend nothing was ever posted for you to read and absorb.

And to think we accuse trolls of poo and scoot behavior.

Yeah, gummitch has some nerve PROVING your Hannity/Clinton assertion wrong. Came up with it pretty quick, too!

But thank you Zooey and Fred, Iâ€™ve enjoyed our banter. Letâ€™s do it again sometimeâ€¦

Until thenâ€¦ Aloha means goodbye!!!!!

Out of touch and out of the running. It’s hysterical to hear him talk about the American people. With all of the lobbyists and special interests in his office every day, I’m surprised he remembered the reason for this government; of, by, and for the people. From what I’ve seen of him, He has no idea what the mainstream American thinks because he doesn’t give a damn. McCain has paid his hero’s price and I salute him for his service. However, his strong military background makes me doubt that he would have a balanced and objective approach to the world’s problems.
