Garbage out, garbage in…
Two peas in a pod. 🙂
AS–didn’t you just have some post to the effect that you are what you post?
From the guy who supported Bush–appointer of Rumsfeld, L. Paul Bremer, Gonzales, J. Stephen Griles, etc. etc.
Just saying…
Obama’s folks look incompetently dishonest and disloyal.
Just saying.
I disagree about Obama’s picks being either incompetent or dishonest–as I posted in another thread, I have issues with Daschle and Geitner on their taxes, but I don’t think it’s necessarily enough for me to oppose their nominations. The larger issue is if they can do the job, and I think the picks are good.
I also don’t think they’re disloyal, but loyalty is over rated. Their duty isn’t really to the president–at least that is not the oath they swear. Many of Bush’ picks turned out to be criminal, putting fealty to a man over duty to country.
You hate every thing about Obama, every thing he does looks to you 1) socialism or 2) corruption. It will be so for the next 8 years I expect.
We clearly disagree.
This is not about hate. I don’t hate anybody. But I do hate dishonesty and that so many accept it as SOP.
You ought to go back and read Bob Woodward’s book, Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate, on political spin. It outlines how presidents mishandle corruption in their ranks, and Obama’s showing he hasn’t learned from his predecessors.
Bush’s guys did quite a bit that’s criminal…
of far more significance than ‘cheating on taxes’
Ans as far as being honest…well, they fail there too. Let me paraphrase Gonzo for you in front of Congress:
You call it dissembling, perhaps, I call it dishonesty.
It is not criminal nor dishonest to make a mistake. And it’s not criminal to be intellectually dishonest, or everyone in politics would be in jail.
No question that Bush people made bad calls. Everyone does. No question that there was intellectual dishonesty in the Bush administration just there is Obama’s, starting at the top.
Cheating on taxes is criminal. Winning wars and defending America is not.
now and forever. Which war did we ‘win’? I missed that…
🙂
I still thought there were over 100,000 American troops in harm’s way on foreign soil.
In my mind it does a great disservice to these men and women to call the war won–it’s just a Hannitiesque talking point, a banner flying on a ship to score political points with no basis in reality. All in service of the party and their corporate masters, f&ck the American people, f%ck the soldiers–who are now killing themselves at the highest rate in forty years. Didn’t they hear? The ‘war’ is won!!!
I never have been impressed with your ‘argumentation’ skills: your points are stale burped-up talking points with no originality. I don’t doubt you believe them, but you’re not too convincing.
Other conservatives on here do a better job of trying to engage people by engaging their brains…sure they get it pretty hard because 1) conservatives are in a minority now and 2) even more so here, I admit, it’s a Democrat-leaning blog.
Even Libertad of late has been trying hard to write some original thoughts and comments (along with the stray B&D photo…) beyond the EFCA bad routine. Barron X is well respected and thinks for himself. LB posts interesting material that provokes discussion, even though most folks tend to disagree. There has been intersting discussion out of El Paso county by folks down there trying to understand what is happening with their (Republican) party. Haners always (well we all get heated now and then) has worthwhile stuff to say, even though I usually disagree with it.
But the stuff you spew is wholly unimpressive.
At least (I surmise) you’re a Steelers fan… so there you go, you won something.
How many troops do we have in Germany, Japan?
You blew it on this one, as on most others. 🙂
I guess we didn’t win the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812, either — how many troops do we have in Great Britain?
If you can’t grasp the difference between the troops we have stationed in Germany and the troops in Iraq, there’s no hope for a serious argument about anything.
We won in Iraq.
The war is over.
a silly one, sure, but nonetheless.
check this out and tell me again that the war is over.
I grew up in a military family and I’m tired of right-wing chickenhawk BS. They want so desperately to see their last president as something other than a total screw up that they have to turn truth on its head.
Check this out
Yeah, no one told them ‘we won’ yet. They didn’t get the wingnut talking points apparently.
Sorry, but it really really bothers me/ All the righties and the ‘support our troops’ crap. All they care about is tearing people down.
what was “to bring democracy to the Middle East,” the fourth or fifth justification for the Iraq war, after all the others turned out to be fraudulent, bogus or unfounded? Remember when the neocons were standing up rationales as fast as events knocked them down?
Revenge for 9/11! — er, wait, how about … Mushroom clouds and drones attacking Florida with bioweapons! — uh, not buying that? Then it’s to crowd out the extremists by planting a flag for democra — ah hell, it’s reason enough to stay there to finish the job, OK?
creative destruction and all that.
I am glad to see civilian causalities down. At a five year low, that’s good. I am glad that Sunni turn out was up considerably in this last election.
But it doesn’t remove the reality that the war was waged under false pretenses; that it was terribly mis-managed; that we never should have been there; that we have wated much blood and treasure; that the The ever-shifting rationale has dwindled to just making it good enough to save some face.
And some people say ‘we won!’
Did it pay for itself like we were told? Did it last longer than 6 months (Rummy’s ‘worst-case’ scenario)? Did it stabilize the Middle East? Did it cause Democracy to bloom across the region? Oh, and where are those weapons we went in for in the first place?
Ha ha, remember old Dubya joking ‘not under here’ while Americans and Iraqis were getting blown to shit?
Only the moveon.org wingnuts don’t get it.
Everyone sees you for what you are. You’ve lost the debate. Time to move on.
have the generals ‘on the ground’ said we’ve won? I think only the fools that think Hannity is news and reasonable buy your crap.
Add delusions of grandeur to your list of mental illness.
Since we lost in Iraq, it’s a good time to add 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.
We’re focusing on Afghanistan because we have a new president how has more sense than Bush.
How do you feel about Daschle’s integrity. He figured out his “mistake,” he claims, last July. He waited a month after he was nominated to tell Obama.
Was that the right thing to do?
From the AP:
“President Obama wanted to have a very ethical administration starting out and so on, but I think he’s seeing how hard it is to avoid these kind of problems,” Sen. Kyl said. “And I just wonder, if President Bush had nominated these people, what folks would be saying about that.”
From wsj.com this evening:
http://online.wsj.com/article/…
Waiting. Waiting.
apparently your reading skills are on par with your reasoning ability
How do you feel about Daschle’s duplicity with President Obama?
in light of recent events.
The far right still hasn’t learned it’s lesson? Yes, yes it is.
Please continue being a ditto head ASs!
