Sorry you don't like the truth.

Apples and oranges. sm
That seems to be what our conversations always end up. We both look at the war in Iraq for a totally different viewpoint. It will never change and there is no use discussing any further because we have done it several times before. We will have to agree to disagree.
Apples and oranges....
Good grief. What is so insulting about proposing bilingual education for American children? You want better education. He wants better education. Where's the rub?
While I agree that the quality of education leaves a bit to be desired, I would look beyond the classroom to explain what is happening to the native tongue and why. Can you say electronic media? TV, DVDs, MP3, video games and the like (just for starters) hold much more sway with your kids than any teacher could ever hope to have. Virtual reality wins hands down.
Their future lies deeply embedded in a global community, like it or not. MTs compete with BILINGUAL, trilingual and multilingual populations in 3rd world countries for our jobs every single day. We aren't exactly coming in first in that race, to be sure.
Couldn't hurt to equip our children with the tools they are bound to need. Last time I checked, American pride won't pay the bills.

Apples and Oranges
The bailout for the auto industry was to save jobs. Healthcare reform is to save people. If the private insurance industry is a casualty of that, at least the unemployed will have healthcare while they look for another job.
Apples to oranges.....
Everyone may not be Christian or care for a tree, but EVERYONE is supposed to be an American, right? If not, go back to where you came from and live there with your mouth shut!
Apples meet oranges. (nm)

Again, apples...meet oranges!
Unlike common garden-variety pedophiles, Priests are in positions of power within the church and take vows of celibacy. I am sure you are aware of the major upheaval in the Catholic Diocese because of the extensive number of cases where priests have sexually molested children. Exorbitant payouts have been made by the Catholic Diocese to the many children who are victims of Priests who are practicing pedophiles.

Another apples to oranges nonsequeter.
His daughters attend the school where kids of many high-profile official go. As we can see from the gusher of back pack reports and endless analyses of their first day at school yesterday, his daughters will be fodder for the paparazzi, not to mention targets of kidnapping and assassination. They have considerations that Joe and Josephine the Parents do not have.
There is nothing hypocritical about rejecting school vouchers programs which are unnecessary, undesirable and, in fact, DO undermine the public schools systems by diverting funds that can do more good for a larger number of children in public settings. He campaigned on this issue and the way he has responded to the issue is perfectly consistent with what he said before he election.
Don't you have better things to do with your time than a 24/7/365 witch hunt vigil?
You are putting apples with oranges.,
this has nothing to do with that.
Not so, unless you are trying to compare
garner votes and are really nothing more that delusions of grandeur...something we have come to expect out of Sam.
How can you compare...
people who are gay to people who use drugs, prostitute, and commit murder?
I'm pretty sure those are the acts we're NOT supposed to tolerate, not what people do in thier own bedrooms.

Why do you need repeatedly compare us?
This is so very curious. I never said I was anything like her at all, she never said she was anything like me. She and I don't know each other and neither of us really have a lot in common aside from a few basic beliefs. Why have you chosen to compare us? Why not compare me to Democrat, LVMT, Gadfly..... I guess that's about all that post here anymore,,,,,what is your point in doing this? It seems like it is a platform to repeatedly put me down. But really, you can succeed in doing that without dragging other posters in on this charade.
I have no desire to compare you to anyone and then perseverate and perserverate on that point. Yes, please, find a different horse to beat or whatever it is you are doing.
Do You Like Apples?
Four separate recent polls have indicated that aproximately 20% of American people identify themselves as Republicans. The Republican Party has lost a fourth of its base over the last 25 years. Specter's switch highlighted the fact that people are walking away from the Republican Party.
How do you like them apples?
There is NOTHING to compare what has happened to anyone at Gitmo...
to what happened at the Hanoi Hilton. We do NOT torture anyone in that manner. Have you ever read what happened to McCain during that time? Have you seen pictures of what the man looked like when he came back??
If you compare the number of pedophiles in the
general population to the number of pedophiles in the Catholic priest population, you are going to find a rather alarming difference in the percentages.
Then give me the numbers and let me compare them....
simple enough request.
You compare Obama to Hitler but you...
are speaking all the German. Good grief!
It is absurd to compare these people...
to the Taliban. Have they killed anyone? While I am against gay marriage, Ahmanson seems a little reactionary for my tastes, but a terrorist, he is not.
How can you compare smoking cigarettes with being
homosexual? Smoking is not a sin, being homosexual is.
These are no comparable issues.
Compare your taxes under McC and Obama plans
I just did mine and I pay less taxes under Obama.

You can't compare race vs. a deviant lifestyle.

It isn't fair to pick out a few bad apples...
...and characterize a whole group based on them. And you're also right about Conservatives (loosely put) not always agreeing with one another, especially these days. Seems dissent among the ranks is breaking wide open.
But regardless of degree of badness of the apples in general - any group as a whole who supports Bush remains suspect as a whole because there is simply no reason left for an intelligent person to do so. Most who still do, do so because they aren't aware of the facts and aren't very good judges of character. Just my opinion, but I stand by it, and see more proof of it every day.
Yes, but pears and apples are both fruit!
:)
I wouldn't compare invading Iraq to the Crusades...nm
Funny how people compare Bush to a monkey
and I've seen pictures on the internet of him as he's changing into a monkey. I saw these same pictures of Clinton turning into a monkey too. Why should Obama be any different.
The saying, 'a few bad apples spoil the bunch' is true...sm
I think the loose recruiting tactics to beef of the military that is what is causing these chain of events. My question is how can America screen soldiers to prevent stuff like this?
And to take away their immunity is just as scary to me. There's no time like the present to start unhooking the training wheels.
Oh yeah, judge an entire party by a few bad apples.

you're mixing apples and beans, drug addiction
alcoholism and drug addition is nothing like religious fanaticism and/or religious extremism.....and/or genocide in Darfur and/or Kenya
he went to see Odinga not a month ago to try and broker peace there......and after he left Kenya, the genocide continued and continues thru now....
sand....head....ostrich.......
