He's a Catholic fanatic who promised enforce the death penalty, but suspended it for a while and has commuted a death sentence. He also claimed that gun policy had nothing to do with the Virginia Tech massacre. The only good thing about a VP nom for him would be getting him out of the state.

When did we start talking about affirmative action? wait! Obama is FOR affirmative action? I thought he was the post racial candidate? I love it when Heckle and Jeckle are able to so completely distort an issue from the actual facts in just two short posts. Well done!

The CBO says it was the '93 Clinton deficit reduction legislation (OBRA 93, that increased taxes on the super-rich) passed by Dems of the 103rd congress. Republicans opposed the 93 plan with every Rep in congress voting against it. I found some funny Rep quotes about it: "Clearly, this is a job-killer in the short-run. The impact on job creation is going to be devastating."-Rep. Dick Armey, (Republican, Texas) "The tax increase will…lead to a recession…and will actually increase the deficit."-Rep. Newt Gingrich (Republican, Georgia) "I will make you this bet. I am willing to risk the mortgage on it…the deficit will be up; unemployment will be up; in my judgment, inflation will be up."-Sen. Robert Packwood (Republican, Oregon) "The deficit four years from today will be higher than it is today, not lower."-Sen. Phil Gramm (Republican, Texas)

"To understand Monica Goodling's errors and the issue of intent, you should first know that the Justice Department hires both 'political' and 'career' attorneys. And on page 12 of its report, it says: It is not improper to consider political affiliations when hiring for political positions. However, both Department policy and federal law prohibit discrimination in hiring for Department career positions on the basis of political affiliations Who gives a shit? The principle is the same and is ignored routinely. The Supreme Court is a good example that should be above party politics but is nothing but politics. The notion that Democrats are above all this stuff while Republicans are a bunch of hooligans is beneath even you knuckleheads. Last Edited By: The Virgin Murray 07/29/08 4:39 PM. Edited 1 times.

Clinton did cut the military budget, but also benefited greatly from a stock market that went nuts for no good reason. He also had a congress that acted conservatively for a little while. We've been spending too much money for too long, and I think McCain would be the better candidate to control spending, except I doubt that he will cut any military spending. Obama will increase social spending and will hurt job growth with increased taxes. No one will make the needed cuts in every area of the budget. Increased domestic drilling will do a lot more than lower the price of oil, it'll keep hundreds of billions of dollars in the US and create thousands of good paying jobs. The Republicans should hammer the Democrats on this issue.

That always amused me.

This is nothing new. And someone with some sense please explain the difference between budget deficits and national debt to these morons.

Of course judges are not politically appointed, right kiddies? Of the estimated $500B deficit we face this fiscal year, $150B is from the stimulous . Now the Dems want another one and this will be balmed on Bush. I say make it $1M each person. That way we solve the big mortgage crises etc. Damn the deficits full speed ahead. Join the disabled veterans for Obama.

Maybe when he says things like this: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions," it's no longer about America and what he can do for the country. It's all about him. Be very afraid!

You don't go to war with the military you want. You go to war with the military you have.
