Wait till Hillary gets the nomination... just like the absurdity of Gore losing to Bush despite the approval ratings of Clinton (hell, Gore didn't even win in Tennessee, his own state). The party with a very unfavorable president will win the presidency again, so long as the Dems put Rodham on the ticket. Take it to the bank.
I've got to give it to the dems for being crafty.
I've got to give it to the dems for being crafty. They rode in on the antiwar left and got the majority in congress, then ignored them and voted for more spending and more troops in Iraq with no timetable all for some pork. But they know they can get away with it because the far left has no where else to go, so they just have to deal with it and poke their lips out.
Do you think Romney will carry MA or that Giuliani will carry NY in a presidential election?
If Congress had done to Franklin Roosevelt what Congress has done to George Bush and the Armed Forces over Iraq since they took over in January, they would have been charged with treason for giving aid and comfort to our enemies. Roosevelt suffered more losses in one day, day after day, greater than our total losses in Iraq since the war began five years ago. Roosevelt's Army was mainly a drafted army. Bush's Army has been totally a volenteer army.

You manage to be pretty crafty yourself. You conveniently leave out the fact that the majority in Congress crafted a bill that provided less budget than dubya asked for, and demanded a pull-out timetable. They only gave in and voted for more spending and more troops when dubya threatened to veto the compromise offered by the democrats, which would have flatlined ALL the Iraq spending. So basically, the president pouted and said "if you won't give me everything I want, I won't give the troops anything at all." How's that for supporting our troops?I've got to give it to the dems for being crafty.

Torp, we don't usually agree, but this is it in a nutshell. Unfortunately, his supporters stubbornly turn a blind eye toward bush's dark global legacy.Can only view this at a distance, but what Washington does affects the whole world. Certain geo-economic peoples like "strong" leaders however belligerent and corrupt they may be. What Bush and his nefarious cronies have inflicted upon the world reflects on every American not just the cowards who wrap themselves in flags.
Bush will go down in history as the arch coward, and for redefining the words war and rendition. Not since the infamous East India Company has a democracy produced such a rapacious administration that has subjugated its own people, mudered foreigners with impunity and stripped its own military of any remaining vestage of honour.
It's been said that Mr Bush was largely responible for Mr Blair stepping down from his position as Prime Minister.
On that note, I'd like to buy him a beer and shake his hand.
On the other hand, as an outsider: How you have allowed a functionally illiterate imbecile to run your country for so long without riots outside the White House is frankly beyond my comprehension.
Maybe I've missed something?
