GHW Bush is in Dallas when JFK gets shot and Cheney is in Dallas when security detail is pulled of Obama. Coincidence?
February 25th, 2008 at 2:27 pmReally folks. This is just crazy hate.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:27 pmHe’s about to buy a house here, much to the chagrin of those in Highland Park who voted for “him”.
Seems the traffic caused by his MASSIVE Secret Service detail has residents of his future, very up-scale neighborhood, less than happy.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:27 pmCheney is in Dallas when security detail is pulled of Obama.
Sorry, but Obama was in Ohio this weekend. Cheney arrived in Big D today.
Obama was in Dallas with no security LAST WEEK.

This is called humor at someone else’s expense. Rude? Maybe.
But hardly hate.

Your showing up here certainly is. Buh bye.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:30 pmCheney, like any common thief, always has an escape plan in place. Cheney has been conveniently out of the country or incognito in the past if any call for his impeachment rises up.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:30 pmCouldn’t be anything to do with the Secret Service pulling the security detail away from Barack Obama’s campaign events, could it?
Secret service wasn’t ”pulled away”. They stayed, they just stopped detailed security checks.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:30 pmThis is called humor at someone else’s expense. Rude? Maybe.
Actually, it’s mis-information, at best.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:32 pmSheesh, TP could have giving us an IMPORTANT thread instead of this utterly non-story.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:33 pmCheney craves secrecy, and of course the HAZMAT suit he carries in his limo. Oh, yeah and the puppy essence.

February 25th, 2008 at 2:37 pmJust checked out that link and there’s a news ticker (Alerts) running across the top of the page and one of the items is, and I kid you not:
JFK Video: The Dallas Tapes
Sure looked surreal running right on top of that headline!
February 25th, 2008 at 2:37 pmBelieve me, I’ve been watching that tricky Dick’s every move associated with him moving back to my home city ever sine my wife hinted she’d rather live in Austin.
Too bad it’s twice as expensive buy a home there, or we’d be gone.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:37 pmSecret service wasn’t â€pulled awayâ€. They stayed, they just stopped detailed security checks.
Comment by DieNowForPeace — February 25, 2008 @ 2:30 pm
Ohhhhh right. My mistake. That’s a big difference. The security staff was there, just not doing anything. So instead of there being no security at all for a speech by a Presidential candidate, there was just no security at all for a speech by a Presidential candidate.
Please forgive this error in my prior statement.

GOOD! SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY “reads”.
It’s common knowledge by all but the most casual, uninformed person on the street, that:
a)Dumbya used to live here, and will buy a house here.
b)Same for Cheney

Honestly, I’m just blown away by people here who often display much common sense, going full idiot-propaganda mode without so much as thinking for one moment.

And some of us were old enough in the sixties that our friends were the guys getting drafted and killed in Viet Nam. And many posters here actually served in viet Nam. Maybe you should tread more carefully on issues you don’t know squat about.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:59 pmYou will be going to hell for your blinded support of the most Godless and anti-American president (i.e. herr dubyah) and political party (i.e. GOPigs) in the history of the country. Enjoy…..

You should read more about Wilson and DFR before you make that claim. Or better yet. Carter. America was founded on the idea that the indevidual was most important. That’s why the Bill Of Rights limits the power of government, not the people.

Carter godless is one of the more uneducated statements I’ve seen here. And DFR is just funny. FDR is the president the who resided over the formation of what is commonly called the Greatest Generation this country has ever seen so if you want to point out godless then you had better back up those thoughts with research before jumping in.

February 25th, 2008 at 3:22 pmVA, looking back I see you didn’t call Carter Godless. Please accept my appologies for that.
As far as more damage to this country. The tally hasn’t been completed by this current one but I’m fairly certain that Carter will be standing on Bush’ shoulders when it’s all said and done.
Bush has thrown out almost all values a true conservative and republican hold dear. The debt has ballooned and that doesn’t include the cost for Iraq. The size of the govt. has also ballooned while the efficiency has dropped. The secrecy of this govt and it’s intrusion into the private lives of citizens is directly against the republican mantra but they blindly allowed it.
Bush isn’t just bad for this country. He damaged republicans for years to come.
Carter was just ineffective. Bush has been down right dangerous.

He was also moral. He didn’t bomb Liechestien because Iran took American hostages. He expressed his displeasure with the russian invasion of Afghanistan by witholding our Olympic team from the Moscow Summer Games in 1980, a principaled stand that incurred the wrath of many in this country. Bush, on the other hand, kisses China’s ass.

February 25th, 2008 at 3:29 pmWhat did Carter do that was good?

Did you know that Virginia’s becoming a blue state?
February 25th, 2008 at 3:30 pmCarter also instituted a series of energy saving policies that would have made us much less dependent on foriegn oil if Reagan hadn’t reversed them. He set aside money for solar development, and wind farm inititaves. and lowered the speed limit to 55 to save gas.

Yes. and it’s a shame.
February 25th, 2008 at 3:32 pmWhat has bush done that is good? VA? DFP, ?
February 25th, 2008 at 3:32 pmSpot on Bobwurst, VA please note Bobwurst’s post at 108 for several points showing Carter’s good done in this world as president.
Bush’s battle cry after 9/11 was for us to go shopping. I don’t feel inspired to follow that.
VA, why do you?

So he used the police power of the government against its people instead of working with American business to find free market solutions to issues.
February 25th, 2008 at 3:34 pmShame that VA is becoming a blue state? You have one of the most principled Senators in Mr. Webb. Why does that disappoint you? Don’t tell me you wanted Macacca?

It’s a shame we have more representatives with pro-human qualities.
February 25th, 2008 at 3:36 pmUsed the police power of the govt.? VA, you realize your phone calls can be tapped by the use of this same police power. So you use it as an argument against one thing but stand behind it for another. You do see the hypocrisy don’t you?

So you think that we should have no speed limits?
February 25th, 2008 at 3:37 pmHe used the power of tax incentives prod industry to work for the common good, kind of like how bush gives tax breaks to his friends and families and to the oil companies who are already scoring record breaking profits. except for that whole “common good” part.

Hoover talked much about ‘free markets’ before the great depression V V….it doesnt work. The markets were deregulated and again we see nearly the same exact thing with this bubble economy.
February 25th, 2008 at 3:39 pmWhy, the U.S. Senator from Virginia, Mark Warner (D-VA) (January 2009- ), will be a shame.
February 25th, 2008 at 3:39 pmDick is probably seeing just how much $$$$$ he made due to the rise of oil prices with his buddies…….Kicking backing (or is it kick back) and gloating!!!!
February 25th, 2008 at 3:43 pmAlan Greenspan, the former chairman of the US central bank, or Fed, has said that inflation rates in Gulf states, which are reaching near record levels, would fall “significantly” if oil producers dropped their US dollar pegs.

You hear the same drivel from the white supremacists who call into Hannity’s blab zone.
Drivel: We want to be free!
Translation: We want to commit crimes and throw ourselves in front of the less fortunate, with no accountability!
February 25th, 2008 at 3:45 pmI wonder how progressive policies threaten the individual freedoms of VA Voter. I would like an explanation beyond generalities.

February 25th, 2008 at 3:47 pmWASHINGTON (AFP) – A powerful US senator voiced concern Thursday that American citizens may have opened accounts with Liechtenstein’s LGT Bank in a bid to evade US taxes.
Liechtenstein’s status as a secretive banking center has come under fire after Germany’s government opened a vast tax probe of nearly 1,000 people suspected of hiding billions of dollars in accounts in the small European principality.
US Senator Carl Levin, the chairman of a Senate investigations committee, said he intended to probe whether wealthy American citizens had hidden funds in Liechtenstein bank accounts in a bid to evade taxes.
“Liechtenstein’s LGT Bank, which is owned by the royal family, has apparently harbored numerous secret accounts which hid the taxable assets of thousands of citizens from around the world,” Levin said in a statement.
February 25th, 2008 at 3:52 pmI think its because Cheney was the JFK assasin. He’s returning to the scene of the crime.

February 25th, 2008 at 4:40 pmWhat did he pack in his carry-on bag? The e-cards to fix the electronic voting machines? Packets of $100 bills in bribes for election officials?
February 25th, 2008 at 4:50 pmCarter never did anything???? What about the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty?
Egypt has More Arab citizens than any other country. It is the intellectual capitol of Islamic thinking.
And ever since Carter got Begin and Sadatt to sign a peace treaty at Camp David…there has not been ONE SHOT fired in anger between Israel and Egypt!

Poor VA Voter — Virginia’s not the only red state turning blue these days.
February 25th, 2008 at 5:02 pmLP We still give huge amounts of Foreign Aid to Egypt. I’ll take a wild guess that much of this aid is in the form of Overpriced American Weaponry…..Made in the USA by Bush Contributors.
February 25th, 2008 at 5:02 pmDid he travel as the Vice President or the President of the U.S. Senate? If he’s on public time let me ask this…how can it be secret if this alleged trip is in the course of regular business? Is there something going on in Dallas we don’t know about? You know, nothing good can come of Dallas.
February 25th, 2008 at 5:45 pmAll practicing war profiteers must visit the corporate offices of Halliburton, once a year. It’s a religious thing.

would it have made any difference if he’d announced why he was going? i mean, does anyone believe a damn word he says? ever?
February 25th, 2008 at 9:31 pmQuick question
February 25th, 2008 at 11:20 pmWas the Prez with him? I thought the designation of Airforce One was only for the Prez. Am I wrong or was it a Freudian Slip by Faux News.
As far as more damage to this country. The tally hasn’t been completed by this current one but I’m fairly certain that Carter will be standing on Bush’ shoulders when it’s all said and done.
Bush has thrown out almost all values a true conservative and republican hold dear. The debt has ballooned and that doesn’t include the cost for Iraq. The size of the govt. has also ballooned while the asus silver w1000 battery,asus silver w1000g battery efficiency has dropped. The secrecy of this govt and it’s intrusion into the private lives of citizens is directly against the republican mantra but they blindly allowed it.
