Lets hope he truely understands that the people have spoke and

Starting next with the current AG would be nice.

Bush is just out of it...I can't believe the crap he is saying now expecting us to blindly believe him. I guess I can believe it.

"To the terrorists, don't celebrate"
"To the Iraqis, don't despair"

[Jim]

And while this goes on, CNN projects Montana going to the Democrats Only Virginia remains and the Webb has about 6700 more votes than Allen

[docholly]

I guess the message was received.

[Chop Smith]

Gosh! I feel so safe today just knowing that Linkster's Congressman is going to be the chairman of the Home Land Security Committee.

[Linkster]

Hehe - unfortunately he'll have his hands full with Rumsfelds replacement - Gates is the guy that was in charge of the CIA position during the Iran-Contra affair - seems Bush's dad is circling the wagons like old war horses to make sure Geo. Jr doesnt take a fall - Baker is already there to help with Iraq

Isnt it amazing how in that press conference today Bush admitted he lied to the nation last week about not replacing Rumsfeld - and nobody blinks an eye - yet it seems to me lying to the nation led to an impeachment proceeding a few years back - totally pathetic how easily these crooks can just take more and more from you easy going apathetic "citizens"

That’s because Bush’s lies only have caused the deaths of 2000+ Americans and countless others, when Clinton lied it was about sex.... Geeze dude, you are comparing apples to oranges.

Why is it that durring the entire Clinton administration people seem to forget we were bombing Iraq? Hey just ask the Air Force. We bombed them every month. I guess if the news did not have so many juicy stories about blow jobs, cheating on your wife 3 times, lieing about it and how the administration invented the internet, stock market boom and rock & roll, we might have heard a little more about it. Does anyone remember him on the TV crying how he failed us and his family for lieing? I always hate to bring this crap up durring the boards festivals against the government. But seriously how many went out and voted yesterday? Oh wait! That would have been a waste of time cause it's all fixed. Now I honestly can't wait till the next president and I hope he is a democrate. I really do. Cause this is no differtant then any other party that gets in office. The people of the USA instead of looking at the better canidate just flop to the other side. Then a couple of years in office and they complain about the party. It's not the party people! It's the lack of education on the members. Democrates have done nothing for this country since JFK. All they do is start up programs that rasie my taxes in order to pay for some stupid fuck who thought it was cool to hang out on the block and not read a book. Then when that person gets old enough I have to pay for his re-education along with his 10 fucking kids, 5 ex-wives, 10 years in jail and his rehab program. The only good thing Clinton did durring his reign was sign capital gains tax reform for owning a home. Do you honestly think that was done for me or his buddies?
Ok here comes the flames let me up on my fire fighter suit. lol

Jugg I consider you a friend so I'm going to reply to your post as I would a friend: Get Your Head Out Of Your Ass
I was a registered Republican for more years than you have been alive. The Republican party used to stand for small government, a balanced budget and support for all business. look what they morphed into
Biggest Government in history
Biggest debt in history
Biggest Businesses get the vast majority of their support
I not only voted I worked my butt off for a couple days making sure my 9,000+ young Bush hating MySpace friends got out and voted too.
The News is saying that this has been the biggest turnout of under 25 year old voters in 20 years, I'm sure my "get your ass out and vote" efforts made a small number get off the couch and vote but most of the credit goes to Bush
Jugg I still love ya, but I got to tell you, your brainwashed

Ehhh, Presidents can lie to us all they want. Clinton was impeached for lying to Congress. But I did notice that either he lied last week or he lied today or even both. I just assume everything he says is a lie.

[Jim]

You seem a little bitter juggernaut

[juggernaut]

Jim not bitter at all, just frustrated. I’m not upset that Don is leaving; he did what needed to be done. He changed the military. I did not like that the guy was really unwilling to listen to the military. Reading this stuff does get under my skin a little as I am a republican and do not flop to the other side when things are bad. I remember the 2nd term of Clinton people hated the guy. You could not turn on the TV or read a news paper where he was not doing something fucked up. He did two incredible things really. 1) Balance the budget (which was amazing and my hat off to him) 2) got elected for a 2nd term which is unheard of for a democrat. It’s unheard of for a reason. The democrat before Clinton claimed he was attacked by a rabbit while on a small fishing boat and he saw UFO’s. The one before that did nothing. He signed in tax reforms and the country still plummeted into a recession and the worse gas crisis of all time. So bad, that the entire City of NY claimed bankruptcy. And I’m sure people here will blame that on the war in Nam but remember something about that (STARTED BY A DEMOCRAT AND KEPT WAGING BY A DEMOCRAT). I'm very patriotic and because of that it starts to drive me nuts when day after day I read people complain when I know, not 100% sure but pretty sure from reading the time stamps on their posts that they do not vote or try and change anything. I vote, I vote whenever I can and make no changes to my day that will affect it. Everyone who knows me knows I'm hardcore for change, most important is in government. I think an administration that stays in office too long causes more harm then good. I don't think there should ever be a 2nd term, 4 years and your out. Another thing that drives me nuts is this Clinton hugging. Shit the guy approved Iranian Arms Transfers that helped turn Bosnia into Islamic militant society. If anyone here thinks he did not have a hand in any of the killing there then your wrong. He is the reason American businesses are looking overseas for workers. Not the republicans. Republicans do business along with running the country; Democrats do nonsense under the blanket of “It’s best for the people.” Money is best for the person, that’s all. Like I said before it's not the party, it's the people of this country who are ruining it. People can think things are fixed and nothing can change but tell that to the ones who started it. I'm sure many felt the same way back then, the only thing really different is the technology but yet they still did it. Democrat or Republican, both have sent soldiers to war. One of the most beloved presidents ever in this country sent 18k worth of Special Forces to Viet Nam to help stabilize the south. That was the start of it. Where did that get us? More people died in 1 day in that war then this wars entire timeframe to include the first one. The only way things can change because they are so fucked up now, is for people to educate themselves and their kids to include politics as a major top 3 MUST involve. You must learn about your local leaders and what they stand for, what have they done in the past and what they intend to do. Only then over a few generations can this whole mess be cleaned up. It’s not about the man or woman being an elephant or donkey.

Sorry for the book, just got up, time for coffee..

I feel a little sorry for Republicans. Kind of like when the school yard bully gets beaten up and you feel a little sorry for him

I see we can expect a big announcement from the good Senator Allen in Virginia in about 1/2 hour. I wonder what he is going to say.

[Greenguy]

I think he's going to say that he's ridden the coat tails of his father's name for long enough & that he's going to retire from politics.

what did allen say?
