NUKE_CLEVELAND

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 19, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) which party would you say most people in the military support? i think i know the answer. Nuke can probaly shed some light on the subject. No need to say anything. You said it all right there.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 19, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Rex, look at the damn article that started this thread. It MADE A POINT to talk about the amputee part. If she's so damn good as a candidate, why even talk about it? Ohhhh, because they have to so that she's more appealing. Come on. It's too obvious. And I'm not trying to mock her. I appreciate what she's sacrificed. But she was 100% recruited on appeal, not her beliefs. Another new low for the Democratic party. Lets play the injured soldier card to try and take over a Republican district. Like all the other Democratic ploys this one will backfire also.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 19, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) It's not cause she's an amputee. It's cause she's a war vet. Who by the way has been fighting to ensure VA provides better technology for wounded soldiers to lead normal lives again. They have been. Prosthetic technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years and there have even been a few amputees who have returned to active duty as if nothing had ever happened.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 19, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) I'm getting all Tom Clancyish now... but every single conversation that takes place anywhere on earth has the potential to be overheard. Somehow. If they are monitoring certain people that are in illegal activity, and they have to act on it before they get approval, then what? Then they go and act on it. Its always better to ask for forgiveness than to ask permission.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 18, 2005 -> 08:52 AM) I have a new love for Little Drummer Boy. And While perhaps not a true Christmas song, Greensleeves is a favorite. And Mary's Song by Amy Grant feels great late at night gazing at the Christmas tree. Greensleeves is by far my favorite one. I have 4 different versions of it in my collection Others are the old standards ( Silent Night, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Silver Bells etc......)

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Dec 19, 2005 -> 02:02 PM) He'll be back next game after Grossman gets hurt on the opening play. Thats my biggest fear. Hopefully his vagina is sufficiently healed so he can last the rest of the season without injuring it again.

QUOTE(Cknolls @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) So you are saying the tax cuts did not increase revenues?????? We should not be allowed to keep more of our money. No let the government keep it and spend it on farm subsidies and entitlement programs. They work so well. The government should be made to do with less before it asks the people to pay more. Why should you, me and everyone else subsidize wasteful government spending?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Nuke, do you really want the federal government to be as big as it has gotten and have this much power? Ronnie Reagan is rolling over in his grave. for shame Nuke, for shame. Law enforcement needs all the tools it can get to catch these people. The more you de-claw the police the more criminals and terrorists run rampant. How many times do we need to get hit before we realize this?

QUOTE(SoCalSouthSider59 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 09:03 AM) Looks like that dude will never carjack again........... Piece of s*** got what he deserved.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) And government has never abused its power before...except for the Palmer Raids, Red Scare (McCarthyism), COINTELPRO and using the PATRIOT Act to sue adult film producers that have no ties to terrorism. Let's not forget that the Federal Intelligence Court of Appeals stated that the Patriot Act's seizure policies may not meet Fourth Amendment guidelines but they "almost certainly come close". We must be willing to distinguish between the necessary powers to catch terrorists and overkill that poses a threat to innocent citizens. As far as your ilk is concerned the more powerless law enforcement is the better. Even though the current Patriot act is being filibustered they can still use all of its provisions in ongoing investigations and to investigate crimes committed before the 31st. So even if the law does expire the government can still use its provisions pretty much indefinitely.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:29 AM) Some bum lefty that only saw the light of day in MLB because he was a lefty pitcher.... LYLE MOUTON. I remember a buddy of mine making fun of his name. Lyle MouTOOOOOOOOOOOOON. -Scott Sullivan

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:22 AM) It's funny cause most of the contenders in the AL have not got that much better yet the team who just won the world series has got much better. Kenny knows what he's doing and he's doing a hell of a job making this team a legit WS contender this year and beyond. I was going to post about that point. How many GM's in the history of sports can honestly say they took a championship team and not only maintain the talent level but make it appreciably better for the next season. I guarantee you its a small club and KW just joined it. 3 CHEERS FOR KW!!!!!

Can a mod please lock this thread. To talk about KW's moves in this context is totally stupid.

The final sign of the apocalypse is here upon us. I give LowerCaseRepublican a nomination for post of the month and a few of these here for this beauty right here.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:49 PM) I don't post a whole lot in PHT mainly because of threads like "The Evil Kenny Williams" and the numerous ones in the past. Every move KW made was lambasted & if he didn't make a move he was lambasted. It was like him walking on water and then getting yelled at for not swimming. From our future HOF catcher Miguel Olivo being traded to get our mediocre starter Freddy Garcia...to whining that all KW got was Blum during the midseason trade deadline...to the recent doom and gloom about El Duque getting traded for Vazquez... I am getting so sick of it, I could puke geysers of blood out of my eyes. For f***'s sake, they just won the goddamn World Series. Methinks KW has some idea about what he is doing. He's made excellent moves. While it angers me a little bit that Duque left, I just remembered his forays as a starter earlier last season. If I wanted to see four balls that often, I'd be out renting XXX gay porn. Rowand leaving was bad but you can't make an omlete without breaking a few eggs. With a hurt Frank Thomas being a liability & Kong being a FA, KW had to shore up some much needed power in the lineup. The fact that Thome then went and assisted us in getting Kong (and much needed protection in the lineup) only makes our lineup that much more devastating -- plus how funny is it that we screwed the Angels out of two major power bats? Not to mention the fact that the minors are stocked with outfielders coming out the yin yang so Rowand is replaceable. I think Vazquez will find his form. Look at the job that Cooper has done with players that have the raw, untapped potential & getting them to perform well (Garland, The Count, etc.) So please people...think before posting because I (and I'm sure tons of others) don't appreciate the doom and gloom. Crack open a beer, realize the Sox won the Series, drink and then realize that -- despite the whining, we've got another season ahead of us in a few months because with some of the bile being thrown around here, I almost thought I missed all 162 games of the '06 season. /end.rant. Attention please Soxtalkers........you have not seen this before and may never see it again......... I'm giving a to a post created by LCR.......AND a nomination for post of the month. /let the apocalypse commence.

QUOTE(SnB @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) I don't know about you guys, but the GM that shaped the white sox team that won the world series can do basically whatever the hell he wants sans a fire sale and I'll walk around with a smile on my face. According to this guy losing a broken down Thomas ( I love the guy to death but lets be realistic here ), an equally broken down Duque, a worthless Jizzcan and Marte, and a prospect is, in fact, holding a fire sale. I still havent stopped laughing at how insane that concept is especially when they were replaced by Thome, Vazquez & Macowiack. Some people I tell ya. :rolly

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought it was a joke........... Oh wait....... IT IS A JOKE!!! just wasn't intended to be one.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) He has trash canned the best hitter I ever saw in Frank Thomas and traded the man threw the best single ½ inning a baseball I have ever seen in my life, in Orlando Hernandez. He disposed of the epitome of the World Championship team in Aaron Rowand, a guy we watched grow and regress in Marte and a guy who took one for the team in April that haunted his entire season in Vizcaino. He discarded Carl Everett who carried the offense at times. He dismissed the man who hit a game winner in the first World Series the team went to in 46 years. He is bringing in some big names to replace them but I miss my guys. I waited all my 53 years for a championship and now 6 of the 25 heroes from the playoff roster plus Frank – a quarter of them – are gone and we haven’t even gotten to spring training yet. The magic of 2005, of our guys, a team that nobody else respected but knew in its heart it could do it, a team that got great plays from the most unlikely sources is gone. The warmth I felt for the team going against all probabilities is being replaced fantasy baseball-like expected run production ratios. When Williams starts his BS about the Sox being a family all the players need to do is look how Frank, Aaron, Orlando, Damaso, Luis, Geoff and Carl were all s*** canned within 2 months of winning the ring for them -great family. When is Kenny going to stop killing the best thing that ever happened to the White Sox for a half century? This post has been edited by the Soxtalk staff to remove objectionable material.

QUOTE(TheHawkaroo @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) Bush admitting he is wrong doesn't do anything for the situation. Fact of the matter is he probably knew it was wrong all along and just used it as a reasoning for war so he and his oil buddies could start splitting up the middle east. Rediculous. Go buy yourself a clue.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/14/bush.iraq/index.html I guess the buck really does stop with him after all.

We still havent given up the whining and conspiracy theories about the '04 election I see. :rolly
