Guest Cerebus Report post Posted September 8, 2003 This is a pretty good article from the very conservative Weekly Standard magazine. Now before ppl lampoon me posting such a biased article...well i'm posting it BECAUSE its a biased article. It's an excellent view of what conservatives should expect from Dean and what he could do if he was elected president. Well despite that warning I'm bracing myself for the flames...

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Do you know who owns the Weekly Standard? The same guy that owns OMG FAUX NEWS LOL 2003!!! Where's the article?... Eh, Murdoch is only a funder... he doesn't have much say in the rag. That distinction goes to Bill Kristol. But anyhow, it's suprisingly even-keel, even though I do have one thing to add (which likely wouldn't have been in the article anyway). Dean's starting to shy away from the complete repeal of the tax cuts, as reported by Kos from www.dailykos.com (and I can't find the direct link to the story, so I do apologize), who is far more on the inside of the campaign than any of us. Dean's campaign staff is crunching the numbers to try to maintain the middle class tax breaks (as minimal as they are). He's even started changing the rhetoric in his stump... example: "tax repeal" to "tax reform". So, yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Remember when Murdoch said that "authoritarian goverments can work" just to get on China's good side? Was that ever crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spicy McHaggis 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Simply not outlawing something is not akin to a laissez-faire attitude. One should be more or less indifferent to it. It's one thing to verbally discourage something, it's another to hit you in the pocketbook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Why would you care? It's not like you have any vested interest in this article anyway, you're just trying to provoke me or something, showing 'hypocrisy' when there really is none. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2003 Dean has nearly lost all my interest when he supported Gray Davis' recent move to give illegal immigrants their own Drivers' Licenses. Dean also said he supported Davis' move Friday to sign a bill allowing illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses, and said he, too, would have signed it as governor. "Sure," he said. "How'd you like to have a whole lot of people driving around with no license?" Dunno, Howie. If you don't need jack or shit to get a license, then terrorists can get licenses instead of having their explosive-loaded car/truck impounded and discovered by authorities. As President, isn't that kind of important to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2003 (edited) It's not like it's that difficult to get into the country in the first place; hell, we give enough Student Visas, etc. that they could get in legally and get a license that way. In addition, it's not like the supposed terrorists wouldn't have additional help in the states in the anyway, so a drivers' license really has no bearing on terrorism in itself.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2003 Fair enough. I still have my reasons against it, but I risk starting a race debate and that could be a nasty thing in an innocent Howie thread like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2003 Oh, I tend to agree with you Jobber; I don't particularly like that bill or anything, but I don't think your argument of an increased risk of terrorism is a valid one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Illegal mexicans, as well as all illegals, shouldn't be in this country, using our social services. Legal mexicans that support them simply because they're mexican are racist.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 For what it's worth, I've met MECHa people and they really aren't that bad. Maybe they were just befriending me so they could use me for Kill Whitey Day or something, but I kind of doubt it. Bustamante's loophole activities and other crap though have lost my vote.
