		<description>If you’re referring to Karl Schwarz’ articles, if they are true, how will we ever know unless the news media gets involved without bias? The military under orders not to speak out may never convey Karl Scharz’ expose’. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seslisohbett.org&quot; title=&quot;sesli sohbet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sesli Sohbet&lt;/a&gt; If Cheney was truly involved in 9/11 and protected in some way, then he’s being protected by what may be going on in the Caspian Sea area as well. That pre-9/11 August 10, 2000 article drives the point home to me that Cheney had a vested interest in the oil at the Caspian Sea area (before 9/11). &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fx15x.bloggum.com&quot; title=&quot;fx15&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Fx15&lt;/a&gt; From all I’ve read in Schwarz’ articles, he claims the Taliban was working on a deal with Argentina with that pipeline in the Caspian Sea area and UNOCOL wanted the deal instead. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.orjinallidax.blogcu.com&quot; title=&quot;lida, orjinal lida&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Orjinal Lida&lt;/a&gt; It’s too much to get into here and I’m not able to convey in here what Schwarz has presented in his articles. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guzelsikis.com&quot; title=&quot;siki?&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sikis&lt;/a&gt; Dig into Schwarz’ articles to learn more about the unnamed soldier’s experiences related to so-called Black Ops missions in the Caspian Sea area in Schwarz’ article. What Schwarz had to present in this article is an eye opener: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kurtlarvadisipususonbolum.blogcu.com&quot; title=&quot;kurtlar vadisi pusu izle&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;kurtlar vadisi pusu izle&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>This is another example that the &quot;old world jounalism of Murrow, Cronkite and Rather is dead and buried. In the case of the Time Magazine reporter Ms Tumulty, she seems to think the finding out the who, what, where, when and how have been replaced with a steno pad, which she records what ABC said in rebuttle to the complaint of Congressman Kucinich. There is a great disconnect with what happened and the points made by ABC. She asks little of no questions to ABC. She takes what is handed to her and repeats it vebatim and then calls that reporting. I call is stenography. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lidasatis.com&quot; title=&quot;lida&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Lida&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.harikasohbet.com&quot; title=&quot;Sohbet, sohpet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sohbet&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idealsohbet.com&quot; title=&quot;sohbet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sohbet&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.canlarseslichat.com&quot; title=&quot;sesli chat, sesli sohbet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sesli chat&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idealgelinlik.com&quot; title=&quot;gelinlik modelleri&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Gelinlik Modelleri&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;barfly Says:

The graphic is therefore deceptive and misleading, as it suggests that McCain’s tax plan offers a greater benefit than Obama’s. In reality, for most Americans, Obama’s tax plan would offer three times the benefit.

TP, talking about deceptive and misleading graphics?

That’s a howl.

The Drum Major survey is also deceptive and misleading, yet Think Progress pulls it out whenever they want their opinions validated.

That the survey is hokier than a three-dollar-bill doesn’t seem to matter - when it makes their case.&lt;/em&gt;

Oh barf, go back to the Drum Major thread and whine about it, or you can actually contribute something to the topic at hand - you lil jerk!</description>

Serves him right, wtf was he asking Charles Barkley about this anyway.

Since when does being a sports star and having the almost obligatory money that goes with it have anything to do with being an expert on the tax policy of Presidential candidates.&lt;/em&gt;

I&#039;m sure they didn&#039;t ask him as a Tax Expert you dolt.  Barkley is also involved in local government and I think is contemplating a run for Govenor of Alabama.  That fact alone makes his opinion on the matter more valuable than yours AND since he does have tons of money, the tax plans DO effect him.  

I think it&#039;s nice that Barkley isn&#039;t blinded by the voracious sense of greed AND entitlement shown by many in the top earning percentiles.

I wish one person could point me to a Government agency that is run efficiently. I guess for the life of me can not think of one. 
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

Medicare has a MUCH lower overhead than HMO&#039;s. Rural electrification was brilliantly handled. Your complaint is another regurgitation of a mindless rightwing talking point.


If the Government ran health care if would be a disaster in the area of the Titanic or the Great Flood. 
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

You know this HOW? We have the most dominant military in the history of the world that is a GOVERNMENT PROGRAM. Just mindless hivemind repitition. Rent a brain cell.

I wish one candidate would introduce a flat tax. Everyone pays 10%. All corporations would pay 15%. 
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

Screwing the working man and the poor. The Rich get more OUT of our system check out the Bear Stearns bailout THOSE stockholders wont be hurting, meanwhile if your Mom and Pop store goes bankrupt Uncle Sam wont be helping out. Capital Gains are already taxed at a lower rate than my labor. IF we even START talking about a flat tax it would need to be a flat tax on disposable income. NOT just income.

But No we have a tax system they can not even understand, Sounds like a great idea to give them more of are money and let them decide what they should spend it on, Like maybe $6000.00 Toilet seats.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

You still dont get it. Why do you think things like that happened? Because the Pentagon couldnt find a Home Depot? NO because a HUGE part of our economy is about public cost turning into privat profit. The Pentagon understands very well that a big part of their function is to do the R and D for hightech and be a conduit for subsidies for corporations. That is OUR tax dollars being funneled into rich peoples pockets. It is SYSTEMIC. You would KEEP that part of the system but RAISE taxes on the poor and middle class to drop them on the Rich and corporations. I make a lot of money and dont really spend much time whining about having to pitch in to pay for having a society.</description>

barkley&#039;s shift against conservatism may also have something to do with his interest in poverty. &lt;b&gt;&quot;my no. 1 priority is to help poor people,&quot;&lt;/b&gt; barkley has said. &quot;in this country, 90% of the money is controlled by 10% of the people, and that’s not right.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>I think Sir Charles has a good idea where he fits in society.  He said that he should not be a role model.  That gets quoted.  But, then he said the role models should be your parents, teachers, ministers, etc.

Barkley has a schtick on television.  He tries to be outrageous and that is why it is fun to watch him, even if he hates your team.</description>
