200 Children and Teachers taken hostage in school
Rob E Dangerously replied to Vanhalen's topic in Current Events
Tyler.. hasn't Saudi Arabia been the center is Islam since the beginning? As for the House of Saud. Polygamy sure did make their family free large. -
If the Vice President isn't so important, then why do we even bother to a 'ticket'? Why not appoint the Vice President? You actually vote for the VP? Sad. Well, the Electoral College votes for the Vice President. As I have noted. If you really want to get technical, we don't vote for the President. We vote for Electors. Who will vote for the President and the Vice President. Now, if the Vice President was so meaningless, why do they put him on a ticket? why does the electoral college vote for a vice president? You wanna go into that, instead of trying to dismiss it with one inaccurate line? Considering I wasn't mentioning that. Nope. And wait.. qualifed.. DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING? What sort of qualifactions are there for this job? Anyways, I'd feel much better with John Edwards being next in line than Dan Quayle. Dan Quayle was a rather poor choice for Vice President. Considering his strength didn't involve anything related to talking. Who, Goldwater? Yes, Barry Goldwater. That's why he won 87% of the vote in Mississippi. That's why he won your state too. I'll put up a conclusion. The Southern Wing of the Democratic Party was basically corrupt. The South was filled by one-party states. The National Party didn't do much for a long time because they feared losing votes. FDR did a little bit (enough to piss off Texas and South Carolina). Truman did more (Dixiecrats in 1948). Of course, I am dealing with someone who will probably use the actions of one to categorize the entire party. You may not like the outcome of a search to find out what party the segregationists went to in the 1960s. Yet Republicans were the force in the passage of it. Weird, huh? Yeah, and they didn't want to take credit for it either. They're so modest! You know, there is a reason why Barry Goldwater got 6% of the African-American vote. I'm not quite sure what it is. It probably involves disowning the CRA. You mean like the Dems, who had no problem siccing dogs on blacks and taking a blind eye to lynchings and the outright annihilation of black communities? The National Democratic Party is to blame for lynchings? I knew the reason that anti-Lynching measures never passed as due to the leaders of the Democratic party. And the Republicans don't have more than a story to stand on when it comes to Civil Rights. The Republican history on Civil Rights is "We did something for you over 150 years ago, and our Senators passed the Civil Rights act, and then we nominated a guy who voted against it". Why do African-Americans hate the GOP? Who did LBJ look to for passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts? Hint: Not the Democrats. Ignoring of course that the CRA passed by a 73-27 margin. Of course Dirksen and most of the GOP did the right thing in breaking the filibuster. I'm sure the VRA also passed by a huge margin. I'd have to check to make sure. Then again, the Northern Democrats also voted for the CRA by a margin of 43 to 1. Dirksen did the right thing, working with Johnson and Hubert Humphrey. That would put him more towards 2. His final speech to the SC legislature keeps him away from 3. "As we meet, South Carolina is running out of courts. If and when every legal remedy has been exhausted, this General Assembly must make clear South Carolina's choice, a government of laws rather than a government of men. As determined as we are, we of today must realize the lesson of 100 years ago, and move on for the good of South Carolina and our United States. It must be done with law and order." Although, there's plenty of other reasons to be wary of Hollings. Such as if you're a tech person. Not according to focus groups. Well, not according to at least one focus group (the Luntz one). It's red meat. Some will like it, some will not. It's the matter of where the "moderates" are. I don't think the Moderates will be coming out for Bush after hearing Zell claim Kerry would "out-source our National Security to Paris" or hearing that Zell knocked on the door of W's soul and got an answer. They will. In droves. Kerry is aware that things are going VERY badly for him right now. very badly.. which is why Bush is crushing Kerry in the polls right now. By a percentage point or two. Bullshit. H.W. Bush denied that he had bashed Reagan's tax cut idea in the primary, and then they showed the "Voodoo Economics" clip. I'm pretty freaking sure that Bush didn't come right out in 1981 and stand against the tax cut. Bush did not support them. This is hardly news. You have sources to back that up. I'd imagine. I'd think that Bush, being a non-supporter of the tax cuts, wouldn't have denied criticizing the tax cuts.

GOP to back ban on gay marriage

If the Vice President isn't so important, then why do we even bother to a 'ticket'? Why not appoint the Vice President? The "State's Rights Democrat Party" died in 1948. The book 'The Dixiecrat Revolt and the End of the Solid South, 1932-1968' goes over the Thurmond/Wright campaign and some other informative stuff. The party died. The people who could be categorized as that still live on. That would be like saying that Hockey Players died in 2004 if the NHL closed. No. Hockey Players will still be around and so were "Dixiecrats" I don't know if the mainstream of the GOP has much room to talk about Civil Rights in the 1960s. Considering they nominated a man who voted against the Civil Rights Act, they refused to pass a platform plank saluting the Civil Rights Act (at the 64 convention) and they had no real problem with getting the support of Southerners. Some of them being segregationists (some weren't, of course). Everett Dirksen did the right thing, but the rest of his party didn't follow his ideals. I think there's at least 3 groups of Southern politicians (going up until the 1970s) (1) the progressives (who usually didn't get any power due to the race issue. Ellis Arnall) (2) the opportunists (who used the race issue as a way to get elected. Strom Thurmond, Jimmy Carter [the 1970 campaign], George Wallace) (3) the "believers" (who really did believe a lot of the racist crap. Theodore Bilbo, J.B. Stoner) Hollings might be between 2 and 3, I'd have to check some of the stuff with his governorship. The Talmadges of Georgia were close to 3. Granted, they were also dictorial (if you've ever heard of the "Three Governor's Controversy", it's just bizarre) Carter did technically 'flop-flop' and say that 'segregation was over' when elected. Even if his campaign involved praise of George Wallace. I'll use restraint with Miller and the Civil Rights Act. Due to Robert C. Byrd and all. Not according to focus groups. Well, not according to at least one focus group (the Luntz one). It's red meat. Some will like it, some will not. It's the matter of where the "moderates" are. I don't think the Moderates will be coming out for Bush after hearing Zell claim Kerry would "out-source our National Security to Paris" or hearing that Zell knocked on the door of W's soul and got an answer. Times change. Kerry has changed. Wait.. Zell Miller condemned Kerry for bashing the weapons which won the Gulf War. The Gulf War being in 1991. Kerry also had some other votes against various weapons (which were in general packages, if I recall correctly), this happened in the 1980s. Zell Miller said that John Kerry worked to strengthen our military. Now Zell Miller says that John Kerry voted against the weapons used by our military in conflicts which happened before Zell Miller praised Kerry's record. I'm sure that Zell's paperwork (which is more stuff than the New York Public Library) has all sorts of Kerry evilness which happened after that speech. But, the fact remains that Zell Miller contradicted himself. The Electoral College does. Except for in the case of a draw, of course. And also they're around just in case. Bullshit. H.W. Bush denied that he had bashed Reagan's tax cut idea in the primary, and then they showed the "Voodoo Economics" clip. I'm pretty freaking sure that Bush didn't come right out in 1981 and stand against the tax cut.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5810451 The Hardball video is halfway down the page. Zell quotes: "What?" "I wanna get in your face!" "I think we oughta cancel this interview!" "You're hopeless." "Get outta my face" "I wish we lived in the day where you could challenge a person to a duel!" "I don't even know why I came on this program"
-
"I WAS FOR JOHN KERRY'S VOTING RECORD ON THE MILITARY BEFORE I WAS AGAINST IT!"
-
Maybe the Republicans will feature Zell in the next "Wild Eyed Democrats" ad.
-
Of course, Dean showed signs of delusion when he said he would win the Massachusetts Primary. "CHRIS MATTHEWS, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL. WHATCHAGONNADO?"
-
Tyler.. does Zell Miller's face of optimism not tell you that while he praised Kerry in this decade, he has realized that Kerry is bad, because Kerry voted against stuff in the 80s, before Miller praised Kerry, and um.. my eyes are now crossed out of confusion
-
From where did this bullshit come? http://miller.senate.gov/speeches/030101jjdinner.htm "TAKE THAT BACK TYLER!"
-
You wouldn't say that if he was a DNC mole.
-
I'm SO loving this. Zell is not taking Chris' shit here. -=Mike I'd take Zell Miller over Chris Matthews in a fistfight. And I don't like what Zell did either.
-
Zell Miller is the wrong sort of guy to be interviewed by Chris Matthews. This is just a compressed ball of rage

Alan Keyes wants to lose his race I guess..
Rob E Dangerously replied to NoCalMike's topic in Current Events
You know your chances are bad when you can't find anybody in the state to run for office. Keyes was beaten easily twice in his own state. -
source Well, I could have sworn his campaign was one of optimism, not pessisism. I thought that the Pessismists were on the other side. Bush also does a great job of contradicting himself and his administration: Bush, 12/4/01: Bush, 1/22/02: Bush, 6/2/02: Bush, 7/10/02: Bush, 11/3/03: Bush, 1/21/04: Bush, 1/31/04: Cheney, 7/2/04: Cheney, 7/16/04: Hmm.. there's more quotes on how the War in Iraq was part of winning the War on Terror, if you want some. I'm sure something changed his point of view. But, we know that he's not a flip-flopper at all. And just my own thoughts. The War on Terror is a war on an action. There has been no criteria for victory in this war. Bush's "make terror less acceptable" idea would be good, if he could show that under his administration, terror has been made less acceptable. That would be a hard case.

This whole attempt to compare Bush to Churchill
Rob E Dangerously replied to Vanhalen's topic in Current Events
"A number of social problems arose. I had been told that neither smoking nor alcoholic beverages were allowed in the Royal Presence. As I was the host at luncheon I raised the matter at once, and said to the interpreter that if it was the religion of His Majesty to deprive himself of smoking and alcohol I must point out that my rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred right smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after, and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them." - Churchill on his meeting with Ibn Saud, King of Saudi Arabia I don't think Bush is close to Churchill. -
passing this on. Apparently the DNC had various Republicans/Conservatives talking on the cable networks after the speeches. Yet, the RNC hasn't had that. Damn Liberal Media. At least Theresa LePore lost tonight
-
Advantage does not equal Outnumber. Sorta like how those cops didn't have an advantage on Ken Patera and Masa Saito, but they outnumbered them. The thing that got France deeper into this was banning the hejab. Of course, France was right in banning it.
-
Since of course that bill was the same the entire time and never changed. But, why would the Republicans lie? They're trustworthy when it comes to John Kerry's record. Just like how I can trust the people of Coca-Cola to tell me the truth about Pepsi. http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx?docid=155 John Kerry: So evil, he insists on a solution where we run up less of a deficit on Iraq spending. Can we trust him? As for Rudy running for President. That'll depend on if he can get past a conservative candidate in the primaries. Such as in Iowa and South Carolina. The 2008 Republican primaries will be interesting. Or vicious. Either one. I want a primary that isn't all settled by March. Also, when it comes to Ahnuld's speech. It's simplistic. Granted, I think I agreed with a lot of stuff on a "yes/no" thing for the GOP platform. You know why? because it's hard to say no to a lot of the fluff they put on a platform. I sorta consider myself a Libertarian Democrat, or a Liberaltarian. Which is probably not fashionable

Bush doesn't think we can win the War on Terror
Rob E Dangerously replied to Rob E Dangerously's topic in Current Events
The issue is that Bush has went against something that he's been saying for the last 3 years. For being a decisive optimistic leader, he just contradicted himself and he just made a very pessimistic decision. -
Leon Sharpe to run for President in 2008
Rob E Dangerously replied to Rob E Dangerously's topic in Community/General
A STATEMENT FROM CANDIDATE SHARPE: "Once I am nominated by the Republican Party in 2008, I will decline to field a Vice Presidential candidate. I feel that the position is irrelevant. Vice Presidents should be appointed like Secretaries of State or Attorney Generals. That is all." -
Former SJL superstar and cult sensation Leon Sharpe will run for President of the United States as a Republican in the 2008 elections. Here are his comments on the issues and current news. Leon Sharpe on.. The Republican National Convention and Protestors - "If they want a war, they should get one. If they want to protest peacefully, they should do it in their own damn states. New York City is crowded enough without thousands of whackjobs holding signs" Iraq - "Honestly, we should find a way to cut the testicles off of the resistance" The Swift Boat Veterans - "They validate everything I've learned about the media. That the media is ratings hungry, liberal and out of touch. They keep bringing this up for ratings. They slide it against these guys and they're clueless. I guess the truth hurts" His own military service - "There wasn't a war, so I never served" The fact that he graduated from High School in 1991 and there was a war around that time - "Well, the other soldiers did a pretty good job. Don't mess with success" Iran - "They can't be trusted" Economy - "It's pretty good right now, and once elected, I'll make Hong Kong seem communistic" Tax Cuts - "I'd prefer to keep the tax cut that I was given." The Income Tax - "It should be repealed" What should replace it - "We should repeal all federal drug laws and then find ways to tax the hell out of people who go to buy the stuff" Abortion - "It's no skin off my ass if some woman is irresponsible or something bad happened to her. If she wants to do it, she should." Campaign advertising - "McCain/Finegold is a disgrace. Banning or restricting 527 groups is a stupid idea. Survival of the fittest." Gay Marriage - "There's more important things to be concerned about." Separation of Church and State - "You know they put that in for a reason. I don't want to have to do any mandatory BUTT-kissing to any religion." Sex Scandals - "If you're without sin, you should be able to throw out accusations" Potential Sex Scandals involving him - "I'm not married, so I can have sex with whoever I damn well please. I can't cheat by definition." Drugs - "If you want to do them, you're responsible for the side effects. If your destiny involves overdosing on cocaine then why stop you?" Cuba - "Saturate them with our stuff. We're not the problem here. If we lift the embargo, Fidel Castro will not allow Cubans to just get Leon Sharpe t-shirts and all that. Therefore, we look good and he looks like a jackass" Video Game Violence - "If your priorities put stopping violent video games over stopping real violence then maybe you should look into removing your head from your ass" War on Terror - "It requires better airport and airplane security. It requires better monitoring. It requires moles in these groups. It requires cutting off supply lines. Sadly, I don't think much of that is being done." Immigration - "If you're an illegal immigrant, President Sharpe will deport you. I wouldn't let an intruder in my house stay even if he was doing an important task. As for the effects, some people are just going to have to get off the unemployment rolls and take the crappy job" Race - "It's not important. But, Bill Cosby said some stuff that I could never get away with saying" Outsourcing - "It was destined to happen. If you're a company, do you pay somebody $5.15 or 25 cents? Companies have to make money too. If having jobs in America is made profitable, then factories will return. The Minimum Wage is too high as well. Just my personal opinion." Education - "Trillions of dollars spent won't make a difference unless they buy mind control devices to make the kids want to learn" College - "You know there's probably a good reason why college is so expensive. Once I find that reason, I will work to eliminate it" His Political and Economic Philosophy - "Capitalistic Libertarianism. The Government is not your mommy. You are not stuck in the passenger seat. You should get into the driver's seat and make yourself a living." Wrestling between now and 2008 - "I think I could do it. It'd work out fine for the campaign fund." Offending people - "So what?" Supporting Bush over Kerry - "I'd rather be kicked in the ass than in the balls. Let's face it, with my income situation, John Kerry will raise my taxes. And let's face it, I might need some of that money sometime" His campaign slogan - "SHARPE - A shout, not an echo" So yeah.. Leon Sharpe is open to questions on the issues and on his radical right-wing viewpoints. A shout, not an echo

It seems anything with the words "War on" doesn't have much of a history of success. -

So, I assume this site is part of the plan to make it look like they've done this for awhile. So, because a group with ads blasting Kerry is accused of having Republican ties, that means a group of guys on bikes are coordinating a protest with the DNC? Riiiiiight My area has at least two traffic circles. And one of them is two-way at the moment. I hear there's more plans for the area that will make the "roundabout" (as they actually call it). Here's the traditional traffic circle (which is only by an ammo plant): http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp...=21645&z=15&w=1 and I'm sure traffic circles are a complicated way to confuse drivers. And I forget if it's Texas that has the 'horizontal' traffic lights, or if it's Arkansas.
