QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 10:40 AM) Well...in that case...it's also interesting to note that some studies suggest that without job creation due to government growth, we would still be at a lower total number of jobs than we were in Jan 2001. Link. At least according to that source's data...increased government spending has accounted for more than 100% of the jobs created since Bush took office. I love the source. Anyone not affiliated with a union on the Board. Unbiased. Nice!!!!!

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 11:17 PM) Oh, ignorance, how I don't miss you so. You do know that the amount of oil in ANWR is roughly 14 billion barrels of oil. You do know that the this amount of oil is totally miniscule in comparison to what we consume yearly and what we import. You do know that there is a guaranteed amount of roughly 180 billion barrels of oil shale in canada. You do know that a conservative amount of oil shale in Canada is about two trillion barrels. Now please, argue that we need to drill in ANWR again, please. Where is the independence of oil in your post?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 10:13 PM) Sam, not to pick on you, I appologize after reading this, but this is what our government has conditioned us to. Notice not a mention that spending needs to be lowered. The government needs to go into debt and give me more money. The Republicans will borrow money and give it to me. Talk about socialist programs. By lowering taxes, the gov't is not giving you money. It is already your money, you just keep more of it. That is the fundemental problem right there.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) This just in from my buddy Howard The first three sentences of this post are false. The 16 words were actually very accurate.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) Based on the size of the budgets, I assume you are discussing percentages, we spend a lot of money on the biggest of socialist programs, our military. Medicare+Medicaid+Social Security>Defense Spending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) This is why his speech was good. And because he took a look at real-life solutions that states are doing. Where the Dems have more strength is in state government. A lot of the problems that individual states have are smaller versions of the same problems that the Feds have. Sometimes, they're caused by recent legislation by the Federal government. Often times when states have faced challenges, the solutions they've found have been adopted by the federal government. For example, a lot of the welfare reform programs were taken from Wisconsin's pilot programs put to task in the early 1990s. And their voucher program, which is working, will be stopped because the Dems are horrors to the unions. God fordid kide actually learn from non-union teachers.

I hope Bush gets two more picks before he leaves office so there is a clear 5 vote conservative majority. I wish the Dems would have been successful in their filibuster because Bush could have nominated Brown and Estrada to the bench and solidified the majority. Kennedy Kerry Durbin Leahy Schumer Better luck next time boys...

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 10:11 AM) Because the President gets to nominate who he wants, and barring any obscenely wrong thing, generally the Senate's duty is to give an elected President his perogative. It's the right thing to do - although I understand the principles behind an Alito filibuster, I don't feel it was necessary. However, I think its generous that the Democrats are allowing "up or down votes" for our President's judicial nominations. Between 1995 and 2000, the Republican congress refused to allow one out of three judicial nominations an up or down vote in committee, let alone on the floor of the Senate. PFAW YEAH!!!!!! Ralph Neas: :finger

QUOTE(kevin57 @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 06:21 AM) I know I'm speaking "blasphemy," but can someone tell me how our own Barack Obama, who is portrayed in the media as walking on water, is any different from Dick Turban? He isn't. They're both terds.

Belvedere on the rocks. Or Chopin if you prefer potato Vodka. Both are very good. Also Patron or Don Julio Anejo Margaritas with Cointreau and a Splash of Courvoisier on top. After dinner its all about Grappa.

For the 4th year in a row haven't seen any of the nominated movies. Last movie I saw was HP3. But I'll say Joaquin Phoenix, Paul Giamatti, Reese Witherspoon, Amy Adams, Crash for Directing and Best Movie. Broke will be shut out of the top 6 awards.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) link to trib story Man Signs Voter Registration as 'God' By Associated Press Published January 30, 2006, 6:52 AM CST READING, Pa. -- One registered Republican won't be able to vote in the next election unless he appears at a Berks County Elections Board to explain the signature on his registration form. The man is registered as Paul S. Sewell, but his form is signed "God." County Solicitor Alan S. Miller said Sewell claims his "God" signature is merely a legal mark like the "X" used by people who are illiterate. Sewell, 40, said he will be happy to explain. As the owner of a bail enforcement agency, he finds fugitives, he said. "Whenever I go to arrest somebody, they say, 'Oh, God, give me another chance. Oh, God, let me go. I'll turn myself in tomorrow,'" Sewell said. He said he thinks his designated mark is legal. "PennDOT accepted it on my driver's license. I have a credit card with it," he said. "It shouldn't be a problem." Somebody tell this man he is elegible to vote in Illinois. Several times. Oh wait he is Republican. He better go to Ohio. Or Florida. Thats where Republicans cheat, Right?

Only in America. Only in California.

EDIT: And I am not saying all white republicans are racist. No bias there. The two guys both donated to Dems. That is why the white Dems filibustered the civil rights acts in the sixties.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 28, 2006 -> 12:12 PM) Still waiting for evidence that Iraq was involved in 9/11. I have a feeling I'll be waiting a long time. Who said that and when?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) And I could direct you to Michael Moore for facts also...but there's a reason I don't. So Hayes isn't reputable? And Moore is not a journalist. Facts and Moore do not coincide. From now on I guess I can only cite N.Y. Slimes and Wash. Toast.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) It probably doesn't matter, but it damn sure is funny. How stupid can he be? There is something about losing a Presidential race that turns these guys brains to mush. But he was back in Washington today speaking on the floor of the Senate. Quick turn around don't you think. You couldn't do that flying commercial, in coach no less.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) Well...you have to admit, it was a fair response to CKnolls doing exactly the same thing from the other side. I didn't see a website listed in my post. But if you would like a reference try Stephen Hayes. He writes for the Weekly Standard.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 05:31 PM) in other news, Hu Flung Poo refuses to change his name. LMAO.

] They went in with just their uniforms and a helmet, right? The army has updated the armor of our soldiers 4 times since the start of the conflict. Do you have any idea heavy the body armor is? What are the limitations to mobility if they add more weight to their persons? What about the Iraqi Air Force General who said the WMD's were spirited to Syria? Probably a Bush crony. What about the documents being translated from Iraq stating that Saddam trained over 8000 terrorists. Details. Details.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) haha, a classic John Kerry move. Asked if the administration was taking Kerry's call for a filibuster seriously, White House press secretary Scott McClellan chuckled on Friday and said: "I think it was a historic day yesterday. It was the first ever call for a filibuster from the slopes of Davos, Switzerland."

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 07:55 PM) John Kerry is a toolbox. The only thing funnier than his calling for a filibuster is that he called for one from Europe. :finger :finger Maybe next time John,Teddy,Dick,Pat.Chuck. A for effort F for results.
