Lying was enough to get Nixon and Clinton out of the WH. What is with this guy, that he can lie, lie, never tell a blasted truth, been shown to be a liar, and is still sitting as prez. Just makes me sick what WE have become and sick in the stomach to be an American. Our forefathers are rolling in their graves, to have the Constitution so ignored and belittled by this admin. And I didn't mean we need to start a war with Iran, as that would also be a tragedy, but we sure as hell didn't need to go to war with Iraq. Bush never gave a thought to diplomacy, of course I don't think he ever had a thought, period.... All of his doing comes from behind the scenes, and if he is ever impeached, they better take Cheney out with him, the cause of this atrocity.

I agree 1000%. Too much emphasis
is placed on hiring issues that have nothing to do with the job to be performed. Hire the best qualified, no ifs, ands, or buts.
I agree completely.
Mentally ill, angry, hateful, and getting more out of control by the minute.
I suggest we don't read their/her posts any more and don't attempt to respond to them. If they don't have an audience for the insane hatred they spew, maybe they will go away. There's no point, anyway. As in my post below, if I hold up three fingers and YOU see three fingers and the rest of the WORLD sees three fingers, they will only see ONE finger, turn it into something ugly and hateful and then and accuse me of giving them the bird. How in the world can someone communicate with people like that? 
I say we just start to ignore them before they pollute this board any further than they already have. It's getting out of control.
They're turning the Liberal board into a sewer like they did the Conservative board.
I agree completely.....and would just add
I pray it can be done with minimal loss of life on the part of our military and the Iraqis who are brave enough to keep lining up to become policemen and military, even though their losses have been staggering. God bless and protect them all, American and Iraqi alike.
Happy New Year to you too!
I agree completely, however,
we know it won't be about substance as much as everyone's personal business. I could not care less what a person's faith is if he/she has the experience necessary, has above-average intelligence, a working knowledge of our own government, its history on the tip of his/her tongue, is quick on his/her feet and appears to be a qualified person, a person who is extremely well versed in the complexities that exist outside our own borders, someone who eats, sleeps, breathes history, politics, public service, someone who is a diplomat, and someone who can inspire us all to do better, to be better. But the tabloid stuff has already started and a lot of it has to do with Mormonism. I don't think a Morman has ever run for president, so this is apt to be a huge issue. Whether or not he can do the job will be secondary, maybe tertiary.
First, I completely agree with you. There SM
should be national healthcare. However, it won't be just the conservatives that will be against it, but middle-class people who have to pay for the increased taxes it would take. You certainly wouldn't expect the wealthy to pay their share for it, do you?
The whole thing is really making me sick. We do need healthcare reform. I'm not sure it will ever happen.
Agree completely. nm

Well said. I agree completely! nm
.
Completely agree
and I'm not even really sure why. I know the two candidates certainly have completely different views of how to change things, but isn't that the way it's always been, way back to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams? Now there was another really nasty election!
I completely agree with you. nm

Completely agree
Don't always agree with them all, but still love the way they speak their minds.
another rightie
I agree completely......
I had relatives in both places when Katrina hit. My relatives around New Orleans were sickened at all the whining, looting, blaming the government for the situation while they have days to leave and prepare but did neither.
My relatives on the coast, where they were hit the hardest, not New Oreleans, got up and began clearing the roadways for when help did arrive, moving trees out of the way, and trying to help one another, not standing in the streets trying to kill one another and blaming Bush for all their woes.
So many in N.O. had spent generation after generation doing nothing but living off the government, free everything, to when they actually had to use their own mind and do something for themselves or their neighbor, what did they do? Blame the government!!
It was terrible what happened to those that were helpless, but these people were not helpless. THEY WERE LAZY WELFARE BEGGING MOOCHERS!
And I can guarantee they continue to be just that. Their attitude was very clear when thousands upon thousands came to our community where we housed them and took care of them. The local churches took thousands in and what did many do? STEAL! They were given air conditioning and comfortable beds, when WE got A/C ourselves. They got 3 square meals a day, hot meals cooked by volunteers; their babies got all the formula and diapers and even medical care that was needed. They were given clean clothes as well as emotional care by our local pastors and counselors.
If they needed something they didn't have, all they had to do was asked. We staffed many volunteers around the clock but that wasn't enough. They were so sorry, they broke the lock to the supply room and took all they wanted and most of what they didn't need and still had the gall to lay their lazy bums up on the beds with the goods they stole. When pastors and others came around to ask those we could obviously see why they had stolen these things, they actually got an attitude with us, telling us it was our place to help them, and starting spewing hate about why it was the white man's fault they were in that situation in the first place, that they wouldn't be there if the white man had put them up a descent levy!
And for any who might want to agree with them, just remember their wonderful mayor Ray Negan or whatever his name is, had OVER 60 million dollars given to him years earlier to secure the levy and not a dime was spent on it. And no one can answer or has demanded an answer as to where that money went.
I for one am sick of the handouts! Get off your butt and get a job.
Completely agree.
If they were going to pay off mortgages for everyone else, then they better be buying me a home too and then I could use all the money I have been working hard to save for a down payment on furnishing my new home instead while stimulating the economy. Why should they only reward those who act irresponsibly?
agree on that completely! nm
s
Oh, I agree completely.
My faith is definitely a crutch; I lean on it every day. In fact, that's precisely what faith is supposed to be - a source of support and strength.
Of course, my education is a crutch, also. And so is my family. So are my friends, and my advisors. I lean on all of them to get through life.
So what? You see, when you call faith a crutch you haven't managed to mount anything like a criticism of it. When you pretend that you yourself don't have, and use, dozens of crutches to get through life, you're only being arrogant, or unbelievably ignorant.
Agree completely..... it is the act!

Completely agree with you and since when
did children become open targets in politics, it doesn't matter if the parents are republicans or democrats. In my opinion, that is just morally wrong. Children should be left out completely and I don't care if they are 2 or 25. It is one thing to attack someone's character who is running for office but leave their children out of it. 
I completely agree with you ...
During the election I was very impressed by her and wanted to know everything I could about her. I read some of her writings from when she was in college and was shocked at the bitterness and disdain that came through. *Chip on the shoulder* was the exact impression that I got and was extremely disappointed by this.
Thanks for being honest, I completely agree
It was totally political and this issue is a HUGE example of what happens in politics. Republicans wanted children to suffer and Democrats wanted to give goverment assistance to rich people. I was so shocked when I actually looked at the proposal and thought: what are these people talking about? I'm glad we were able to work together and cut through the bull! :) That's what it should be about.
Yes Obama is.........I agree completely.....
xx
I agree completely. He should be proud of his...
accomplishments. However, that being said...I most assuredly do NOT think he is the right man for the Presidency.
I agree completely. Unbelievable.
This person either didn't even watch the clip and is completely unaware of Phelps and his "activities" or simply silently condones the heinous things he does. I particularly despise Phelps' uninvited attendance at the funerals of American soldiers and his "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" motto.
I would be this person posted himself/herself blue to blast Rev. Wright, but this Phelps moron is okay.
Unfortunately, it says a lot about some people who post on this board. 
I agree completely with Ron Paul
XX
haha--I agree with Luker completely--
This War against Christmas stuff is asinine! What a perfect way to take people's minds the real issues affecting our country (like Bush and Cheney trying to expand the powers of the presidency). People have always said happy holidays as long as I can remember and I'm almost 50 myself. BIG DEAL!!
Agree completely......Muslim extremists are not
Heck, the media is just now putting out the so-called honor killings these muslims believe in. There is no honor to it.....it is cold-blood murder. They do it here (where they can do as they please) and they do it back in their home country, so please, there is no despair. It is a sick ideology they live by. Little boys brainwashed from childhood on to hate. The women are the ones who are in despair.
Oh, I agree completely.....just mentioning Barney
None of them should be "fixing" anything....they created the mess and I sure as heck don't trust them to fix it. Since when has the government fixed anything?
There should be outside auditors come in, chosen by private citizens, NOT the government, not the politicians' friends or family members, but private CPAs to oversee this.
The government should not be taking any of our money. I say let the chips fall where they may and all this fear Bush and everyone else tries to place in the minds of the people is just that....talk. Give it a year or so and it will right itself automatically and purge itself of the crooks.
If you think for a minute the world economy will fall because of it, that's the fear they're hoping to put in your head to make you think this is the only choice left OR ELSE!!
Other countries have firm good banks and will continue their business as usual, as will solid banks in this country.
My gosh, just today the Bank of Scotland is now putting out ads for your banking needs. It's an investment opportunity for many.
I absolutely agree!
I'm not sure it's over yet, though. I don't think the press or Congress fell for the attempt to get the heat off of Rove with the timing of Roberts.
And I agree with everything you said. If that isn't treason, I don't know what is! I also agree that nothing will be done about it. This, too, will be lied about and glossed over just like everything else in this administration has been.
I absolutely agree! sm
It's very much the same scenario as Vietnam, the first war where media coverage actually changed the course of a war in the battle for public opinion.
Agree absolutely
Especially how history will be kinder to GW. It's a funny thing, but I was just watching an old re-run of Alf with my kids and there were comments portraying Reagan as a soft-hearted but senile old man. That's not how history looks at him now!
Yep, absolutely agree with you on all this (nm)
x
I so absolutely agree with you. n/m
I absolutely agree with you. sm
I am not an Obama supporter either, but I share your fears for his life and safety and for our country as a whole. I pray for his continued protection.
I absolutely agree!
It has taken awhile, but we seem like we might be on our way to the "equality" that was spoken of decades ago.
I absolutely agree!

I absolutely agree!
I read one post by Judy that included a six letter word referring to Obama that the moderator had turned to asterisks and had commented that there was to be "no namecalling". Wonder what word that was? **sarcastically** I have never heard anyone in my curch condone such language.
I really like the fact that you pointed out the tolerance instead of judgement.
Thanks for voicing what many of us were thinking.
Absolutely agree 100%
This is the best thing I have read in a long time and I agree 100% God bless that man's common sense! Too bad our government doesn't have any.
I absolutely agree with you...
my parents' stance was and mine will be that neither are acceptable--for any reason--and you know what? I did not do either.
I agree absolutely with you.
Did it sound as if I didn't? Sorry about that. I have family who voted for Obama simply because he was black and they didn't want to appear racist. LMAO. And, like you, I know others who refused to vote for him simply because of his skin color. LMAO. I voted based on his policies and the fact that he didn't appear ready to "run the country" as he is now proving. As far as him being biracial--wonderful, it's about time we had a president of a different race. I hope my grandson is the next in line. ;-) I know it is considered "racist" to disagree with him but that card is only played by the gliberals who have nothing better to do than cause problems. Glib-showing little forethought or preparation, lacking depth and substance, ease and fluency in speaking or writing, often to the point of being insincere or deceitful. Liberal-broad-minded, unprejudiced (except towards people of faith). Gliberal...
Now THAT I absolutely agree with!
nm
Absolutely agree!!
nm
I absolutely 100% whole heartedly agree
Seen it happen too many times to know how true this is.
I wish I could type 1000 wpm.
I would have stated who and what they are debating. Kerry was furious. Sen. Sessions (R-AL) doesn't seem to want to work with anyone on "the other side" either.
Sen. John Ensign (R-Nevada) had a really good speech. He went through the whys and why nots of how this whole mess started. He is willing to work with the other side but he stated that the other side has to work with them, too, which so far, is not happening. He stated that the stimulus package was pushed through the house without any debate, without anyone seeing exactly what was in it, and it was the wrong thing to do. He doesn't care that O wants this passed by President's day. It has to be worked out slowly so they don't make the same kind of mistakes that they did with the last stimulus package.
It's not just tax cuts the pubs want. They want some of the spending in there, too, just not the most ridiculous items. They want the infrastructure in but not just 3% of the total package spread out over 4 years. It wouldn't make much of a difference.
Now, on another subject, I had MSNBC on another TV. Surprisingly, they were only allowing sound for the debate when the democrats are speaking. Hmmm.
1000 bucks a month
That is a lot to pay for health insurance. There does need to be reform so that it is more affordable, I just don't see how mandatory coverage is going to do it.
One little ole poster acting like 1000
nm
To me $1000 health insurance premium is a lot
That's fine you don't care about the fact that many families are working their fingers to the bone just to pay for necessities, including health insurance, but I do. I care very much and am very sad that so many people in this country only seem to care about children that come from upper middle class and rich families. I guess they deserve better health care than the middle-class kids. I don't know how people that feel that way can go to bed with a clear conscience.
People in Congress that we took the time to elect put a lot of effort into negotiating this bill to make both parties relatively happy. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE TAXED FOR IT. THE CIGARETTE TAX WOULD HAVE GONE UP. Keep telling yourself what you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, but the fact is kids with diabetes from a lower-middle-class income family have less of a chance of surviving than a child from an upper class income family. That is a sad, sad, fact.
Newspaper Marks 1000 Days of Iraq War with Key Stats
Newspaper Marks 1000 Days of Iraq War with Key Stats
By E&P Staff
Published: December 13, 2005 10:30 AM ET
NEW YORK To mark what it called the 1000 Days of the Iraq war, the London daily The Independent offered extensive coverage today, featuring a by-the-numbers approach.
Here are some of their calculations:
$204.4 billion: The cost to the U.S of the war so far.
2,339: Allied troops killed
15,955: US troops wounded in action
98: U.K troops killed
30,000 : Estimated Iraqi civilian deaths
0: Number of WMDs found
66: Journalists killed in Iraq.
63: Journalists killed during Vietnam war
8: per cent of Iraqi children suffering acute malnutrition
53,470: Iraqi insurgents killed
67: per cent Iraqis who feel less secure because of occupation
$343: Average monthly salary for an Iraqi soldier. Average monthly salary for an American soldier in Iraq: $4,160.75
5: foreign civilians kidnapped per month
47: per cent Iraqis who never have enough electricity
20: casualties per month from unexploded mines
25-40: per cent Estimated unemployment rate, Nov 2005
251: Foreigners kidnapped
70: per cent of Iraqi's whose sewage system rarely works
183,000: British and American troops are still in action in Iraq.
13,000: from other nations
90: Daily attacks by insurgents in Nov '05. In Jun '03: 8
60-80: per cent Iraqis who are strongly opposed to presence of coalition troops
*
In an accompanying piece from Baghdad, the newspaper's Patrick Cockburn adds one more stat: A BBC poll yesterday showed that half of the Iraqis questioned say that Iraq needs a strong leader--while only 28 per cent cited democracy as a priority.
Iraqis are cynical about their political leaders, Cockburn writes. The election results are likely to show that the great majority of Iraqis will vote along ethnic or religious lines as Shia, Sunni or Kurds. The country is turning from a unitary state into a confederation.
There is no sign yet of the thousand-day war ending. Every month up to a thousand fresh corpses arrive at the mortuary in Baghdad. A new Iraq is emerging but it is already drenched in blood.
Wow, my post was totally and completely respectful and yours is totally and completely not. sm
what a surprise. Can't stand to be corrected or proven wrong, can you. Have to call everyone a liar, don't you. Got to tell people to stick things somewhere, don't you. TSK TSK TSK Anger management might be helpful.
I only lost $1000 so far-Hubby lost $2000 in a week (sm)
so, I called his financial advisor yesterday and told him to put hubby in a "safe" plan. It's now in a money market fund that is part of his IRA.
I have no choice. I have to stay where I am. I have no "safe" available. Neither of us will be able to retire on what is now in our 401Ks and you're not the only one. We couldn't buy a car with Both our 401Ks, let alone live on it.
We are late starters for retirement not until our late 40s funds (most of our employers did not offer pensions). We are now of the first retirement tier and although we own our home outright, if we live until we are 90, there is no way we can live off retirement 401Ks or SS.
My husband's father told him back in the 50s that we would experience something like what is happening today and stated it would be worse than the ཙ crash. It is sure starting to look that way, but we will survive some way, I hope.
We need to pray for the people on SS now that cannot survive. I, for one, would love to help them, but can't help ourselves at this moment.
Actually you are so completely right..
...I am every single person that has ever posted on the liberal board. You have obviously found me out. I have so many different monikers it is very very difficult to keep them straight.
As far as my being mad or angry as you suppose, no not in the least. Most of my energy is spent trying to change syntax and moniker as often as possible on the MT Stars liberal board.
you are completely right
Of course it is an important day! As it should always be, and you are completely right about it should not be any different had a white man been put in office. Every time it is called a "historic" day that makes it about RACE, exactly what he said it wasn't about.
Seriously, how can you people argue that?
and get over the Bush thing. bush did a lot of stupid things and he spent way too much
so what makes obama different from bush in the spending category on his FIRST DAY??
you are completely right

But Obama is filling his footsteps real quickly isn't he... and more
You completely said it all.
We are infidels, anyone who does not worship their God! In order for their Messiah to come, they have to KILL AS MANY INFIDELS as they can. In order to do this, they have to kill the Big God and the Little God. United States is the Big God and Israel is the Little God. There is no reasoning with people from Iran or other Muslim countries who worship their Allah. They want their Messiah to come desperately and the only way and I mean the ONLY WAY TO HAVE THEIR MESSIAH COME IS TO KILL US. It is their Bible.
I strongly believe we will have war right here in our country, soon.
