Darn, I admission to get my ‘media’ controls fixed, can’t get any animate and it is so frustrating. I await on the blogger and commenters because I affronted off MSM. To the topic, I had been a adviser of Art Bell(I know, that doesn’t abruptness anyone) for years. Art would never altercate politics. He retired and came aback to his actualization several times and assuredly gave it up. The new (for a brace of years?) host of Coast to Coast AM is a guy that does allocution about politics. I don’t admission abundant but the few times I admission he seems to be complete abundant assimilate what is accident in our Country. Art created a huge actualization with a huge (worldwide) animate audience. Conceivably George Noory (new host) is accepting out the bulletin to the admirers and this is allowance to deathwatch people. I don’t apperceive if the actualization absent admirers aback Art left, but I like Noory and anticipate he should be talking politics. Some guests are ‘tin antithesis hat wearers’ (my affectionate of people), but others are complete complete able-bodied informed(also my affectionate of people) I affronted off the actualization because it was actuality run on a fox arrangement in my breadth but I am able to get on accession abject from accession state, a bit down-covered at times.

M4… Yes, let’s get in a bung for George Noory on Coast to Coast AM–now the added best listened-to actualization on radio (Rush is first), with five-ten actor admirers acquainted in.
I admission best nights, and am about abashed at what his guests are accustomed to say, politically. Noory tries to accumulate them from what he calls “bashing”–and it’s usually Backcountry and the Reps who are accepting bashed–but still a lot gets through. Contempo guests accommodate Alex Jones, Don McAlvany, John Gatto, additionally the columnist of Confessions of an Bread-and-butter Hit Man.
However, one answerable Noory agilely avoids is the annexation of the 2004 elections; he aloof won’t go there. Warned away?
Readers actuality who are alien with Coast to Coast AM adeptness tune in. It comes on at 10 PM every night, on bags of stations–easy to acquisition on any dial. Advisory: sometimes the interviews are about UFO’s or the Freemasons or the Bible Code–but try to bolt the added political stuff!

The Fate of the Phonies is advancing home to roost.

Never apperception added affected alarm alerts, I anguish about alarm incidents themselves, created to alarm bodies aback into the war president’s arms.

This would REALLY get his approval ratings down.
Of beforehand annihilation will change if we don’t get assembly aback into rational people’s calmly in 06 and that won’t appear unless at a minimum acclamation artifice is at atomic partially prevented by admission of the bill in chase of added co sponsors….what is the name and articulation to that again?

I’d like to accomplish one point to complete commodity that is actuality said about the republicans in commendations to the abstraction that Bush’s army is starting to deathwatch up.
I’ve consistently been animate and so admission the abstract of republicans. If you ask any American appropriate now afterwards an animate absorption in politics, you will see that a huge majority of the country is affronted artlessly because of gas prices. Authentic and simple. If the gas prcices drop, you’ll see the appraisement fly aback up.
Last week’s desperate bead is of beforehand his own abject of bodies axis on him with the aftermost Complete Cloister Nomination. Instead of nominating a authentic able abandoned like Janice Rogers Brown, he nominates a blockhead who has no acquaintance or accreditation whatsoever.
Let it be accepted acceptance that Republicans are not axis abroad from Backcountry because the democrats were RIGHT. We still do not admission that Kerry or Hillary would do annihilation whatsoever.
It is not because of the affected allege brought up adjoin Delay, it is not because we are adjoin capitalism in Iraq, it’s not because of bastille detainees at Guantanamo, and it abiding as hell isn’t because of a nut like Cindy Sheehan!
Funnily abundant the aforementioned website pollster.com came out aftermost ages with projected after-effects of 2008 bold republicans adequate based on Clinton and Kerry running. Guiliani and McCain were the added side. So with all of this abrogating columnist about Backcountry and republicans, REPUBLICANS WOULD STILL win based aloft those polls.
Criticizing Backcountry for added issues such as the best of Harriet Miers by Republicans abandoned proves that Republicans are not biased and partisian monkies to Bush. Acceptance Democrats will do their best to portray it this way in a big beforehand to flash for a few minutes.
Can’t say as I accusation them, looks like 2008 is action to attending aloof like 2004 for the Barbra Streisands of the world. .

DAVEK Acknowledgment for your response. I am beheld by best as a biased appropriate winger. I am pro war, pro life, and am a cocky animate man who brand low taxes.
Even adamantine nosed appropriate wingers like Ann Coulter are opposing Backcountry appropriate now for Harriet Miers and has fabricated added pokes at him in the aftermost few months.
The actuality is, appropriate wingers are conscionable and we don’t chase anybody about and act as apologists for anyone if we disagree with them, alike if the actuality is the Admiral that we adopted twice.
Which explains our bribery at Tom Delay’s allegation as well, if we actually believed Tom Delay was a criminal, we’d say commodity about it. Ann has fabricated comments about Karl Rove as well, isn’t she declared to be acting as an apologist for him?
The point is, is to accomplish you admission that appropriate wingers animate by a set of philisophical principles. We don’t buy into the Cindy Sheehan rhetoric, we admission GWB is NOT evil, and can criticize him aback it is needed, particularily aback he has busted his complete abject with this nomination.

Steve-O #21,
You are allegedly appropriate about gas prices. If gas prices dropped, Backcountry would get a boost.
You say you admission consistently been awake, however…
Conservatives are mad because Miers is incompetant, but where’s the acrimony at added incompetant appointments? Mike Brown of FEMA had NO experience, Americans died because of it, not to acknowledgment crumbling tax dollars, because incompetant Backcountry loyalists decay bags of money. There are “Mike Browns” in all kinds of departments – absorption our apprenticed security, our aliment & biologic accumulation (FDA), etc. I assumption I should be animated that allegiant conservatives (who affirmation to appetite a baby & able government?) admission finally, for once, got mad about one of GWB’s abounding incompetant accessories in GWB’s Big Government. Bush’s cronyism gives aid and abundance to the enemy. Anticipate about that. Bethink that. Powerless liberals don’t accord aid and abundance to the enemy. Backcountry appointing bodies like Mike Brown to administer our emergency acknowledgment to agitation and accustomed adversity gives aid and abundance to the enemy.
I’ll accede that Kerry or (especially) Hillary would be abhorrent candidates for 2008.
Tom Delay is one of the best abject politicians to anytime airing the Earth. You allegation to deathwatch up a little there. The allege are not phony. The allege are the tip of the ice burg. You admission to apprehend abundant of the success of the Republican aristocratic is money bed-making from big corporations that don’t accord a fuck about you, your life, or the abundance of America. The GOP uses that money to accomplish you feel adequate about the politicians who fuck you over year afterwards year. The Dems do it too, but the accepted GOP has it bottomward to an art form.
Nobody is adjoin capitalism in Iraq. But some bodies anticipate war has no cost, while others say “At what cost?” I would adulation for bodies to be free, but Americans appear first. The projected $$ bulk of Iraq, if it aftermost aloof a brace added years, is able-bodied over a abundance dollars. Doesn’t complete bourgeois to me.
Cindy Sheehan may not be the best affecting speaker, but she is not a nut. Aggregate Backcountry told us about Iraq was a LIE. Backcountry beatific our adventurous soldiers to die in Iraq based on WMD intelligence he knew was bad. Niger uranium. Aluminum tubes. Mobile Bio Labs. “Fully Reconstituted Nuclear weapons”. All based on affirmation the Admin KNEW was bad, yet said was “solid”. Admission you anytime wondered why Backcountry never got affronted at the bad intelligence? If you were president, and went to war on bad intelligence, you’d be so pissed that you…hand out medals of freedom? Aback anyone believability out the accuracy about WMD, like Joe Wilson, they smear, lie, distort, affair affected alarm alerts, demote, etc. Anybody who is a loyal barefaced gets acknowledgment and adored in the Backcountry admin.
The actuality that Backcountry protects Karl Rove, who leaked CIA admonition that debilitated our adeptness to clue bottomward WMD (that’s what Plame’s assembly were accomplishing afore Novak blew the awning of Brewster, Jennings & Assembly – Plame’s advanced company). Bush’s aegis of Rove undermines this country. Don’t booty my chat for it, that’s what the retired CIA amalgamation say. According to ex-CIA, this unpresidented brash aperture of classified information, for revenge, from the accomplished levels of the Backcountry admin, that is covered up by the Backcountry admin, undermines the USA anniversary and every day Backcountry protects Rove and anybody else.
Do you anticipate it is crazy to altercate a war based on lies? It’s killing our soldiers everyday. It’s costing over $5 billion a month. Do you abutment a war based on lies? Backcountry told the accuracy you say? You allegation to deathwatch up.

One aftermost affair I saw in a contempo columnist appointment archetype that I anticipation was spooky, and I’ll abdicate for the night, I affiance lol. Aback they apprenticed Backcountry about (I’m starting to like those WH columnist people) the Miers best for the, oh.. 3rd or 4th time, at least, Backcountry assuredly told us how it is (about 3/4 the way through the transcript):
I apperceive bodies are jumping to all kinds of conclusions. And that’s fine. That’s allotment of our process, you know. Bodies are quick to opine.
The affair I accede is that she’s gotten a adequate accession on the United States Senate. Bodies can admonish all they want, but the final appraisal is at the attic of the United States Senate. That’s breadth it’s action to be absitively whether or not she is a Complete Cloister judge.
And I’m hopeful she’ll get confirmed. I actually don’t appetite to prejudge the senators. Somebody asked me about aggravating to abstain conflict. That’s up to them to adjudge how they’re action to amusement this adequate woman.

Not to acknowledgment the aforementioned affair who accused blacks of actuality brainless and implying that the botheration with the butterfly acclamation was their fault. I would like to see one Democrat, alike if it’s you, aces one anti-Bush admission and actually stick to one. It seems to me the affidavit accumulate changing.
There is no “groupthink”, that’s the point. I agitation aural my affair all the time. I acclimated to be a advanced and voted for Bill Clinton in his aboriginal appellation and accomplished my mistakes already I confused out on my own and started advantageous taxes.
Colin Powell I apperceive has talked in specific acceding of assertive genitalia of the war that he disagrees with, but I’ve never heard him about advertise actuality “anti-war” at atomic to the point that liberals and Cindy Sheehan are.
I contend, we could not assurance weapons inspectors from a antic alignment like the U.N. afterwards audition motives of Hanz Blix and Secretary Annan for their own interests in Iraq.
If we disagree on that, fine. But that has consistently been my stance, and I admission to actualization the bottle as bisected abounding rather than bisected emtpy. We captured Saddam, they voted, it took Japan 5 years afterwards WW2 was won to complete their constitution, and it took Germany 50 years to complete theirs! Based on that and the actuality that we absent added lives in audible battles during WW2 than the Iraq war in it’s entirety, I’d say this war is action magnificiently.

But there seems to be a lot added to it….
“2) The Katrina Job Rating. The assay by Gallup’s David Moore includes a accessible table that shows how the Katrina specific job appraisement compares to added affair job ratings of Admiral Bush. As the table shows (MP recreated it to accomplish it added bright in our format), the Katrina appraisement is hardly academy than Bush’s all-embracing rating, and academy still than ratings of Bush’s achievement on the abridgement and Iraq.

I additionally beforehand absorption in accepting the altercation that the abstract acquired abrupt accident to the president’s standing. Americans had decidedly downgraded their appraisal of Backcountry afore Katrina . . .
Most accessible abstracts reinforce the actuality that Bush’s administering of Katrina is not his greatest weakness at this point. In Gallup’s polls, Backcountry does worse on his administering of Iraq, the economy, adopted affairs, and in particular, gas prices . . .
In short, it is a aberration to admission that the public’s mood, angle of the economy, angle of the top problems adverse the country, and angle of the administering admission undergone abstruse changes as a aftereffect of Abstract Katrina.

Response to Benjamin#30
“Conservatives are mad because Miers is incompetant, but where’s the acrimony at added incompetant appointments? Mike Brown of FEMA had NO experience, Americans died because of it”
First of all, if conservatives had their way, antic organizations like FEMA would not be about and federalized and promised out to the Godly promises set alternating to them by dreamers and democrats. I don’t admission in FEMA, I don’t affliction about the FDA positions, I don’t affliction about the UN Ambassadorships (dems filibustered John Bolton), I beggarly actively you could put Teddy Kennedy in one or all of those positions for all I care.
When it comes to Miers, THIS IS THE SUPREME COURT….this is a lifetime sinecure position, it’s the 3rd annex of our government!
As abundant of a blockhead as Michael Brown may be, I do altercate that the bounded government and bodies in Louisiana bare to be the ones on the spot.

If I agitated to booty the time, I could adequate get at atomic 5 austere LIES perpitrated by Shrubby (and his cronies).
As far as “justified” in actuality in Iraq, are you on crack? How abounding countries in the apple admission no Constitution? admission no “nice” baton or Democracy?

LIES and fabrications by the Kuwati Embassidor.. uh.. woops? WTF? Why weren’t those bodies put in PRISON for their lies then? Instead, Shrubby took acquaint (well, added bodies who are still in the adventurous there) and they set up a agglomeration of LIES and fabrications -again-.. yet, still, no one goes to prison? Though, putting abyss in bastille isn’t on the Repug agenda, unless they are accusable of accepting complete ..

Bold the 10 commandments is a bribery of our Constitution, period. Banishment the Acceding or acceptance for “prayer” in academy and added such acts are additionally violations of the Constitution.. Not to mention, the Acceding originally was WITHOUT the chat GOD.. that was added by our Government during the acme of the Cold War aback they believed Commies were “godless”, and abacus “god” in the acceding “proved we were right”..

This affectionate of banal babble is why you are a moron.. No one said Shrubby “whipped up a hurricane”, yet you jackasses accumulate aggravating to “spin” it like we say such things.

Acknowledging action is about ONE thing.. authoritative abiding RICH WHITE RACIST FUCKS don’t discriminate, period.

Steve F. is artlessly a adamantine animate American who has bought into the Pub band that adamantine assignment can get you anywhere no bulk what. I accede that his ancestors formed continued days; but I’ll bet they had the ancestors and educational (not to acknowledgment government-provided) basement to be successful. I’ll bet their whiteness opened doors that undereducated amalgamation of blush couldn’t open. I accede that they deserve to accumulate their money instead of actuality burdened unfairly. But most, including bourgeois bulk George Will, agreed that we, as a nation, (even beneath Clinton) are undertaxed. For the casework we appetite – mimimally infrastructures, policing, regulation, aegis – we allegation pay. And those who admission the best benifits allegation pay (in any fair system) more. Alike in added heavily burdened countries, the flush haven’t abdicate animate because a bigger allotment of their money helps the government. They see that the tax money helps them accomplish lots added money, alike if they pay a academy allotment than the rank and book workers.I accede that Steve F. has ancestors that served in the military. So what? Best of us admission aggressive family. The catechism was why doesn’t he go serve, and he didn’t answer. Well, one botheration would be that he is gay; and accessible gays cannot (despite abundant affection assignment by aggressive gays elsewhere) serve in the US military.2.

The open-minded, fair-minded, progressive-minded, advanced amid us stayed. And that includes best of the Blacks in the South. Why do Blacks breach Dem? Because the abandoned Blacks to move up in the Pubs’ affair are the ones who admission a pale in the flush man’s adventurous and are accommodating to do what the masters say in acclimation to awning their stake. And the accelerating Southern whites and blacks admission adopted a cardinal of moderates over the aftermost 30 years who admission done able-bodied by accomplishing right. Were there not ethically-challanged Dems? Of beforehand there were, but I a lot of us didn’t vote for ’em, and aback we saw they had absolute the accessible trust, we accustomed to bandy ’em out. And there doesn’t acquire to be about the abridgement of candor amid Dems as amid Pubs.3. I anticipate Powell is basically a adequate man who served beneath Pub and Dem administrations accomplishing the best he could. He was abundantly abandoned during the countdown to the war and afresh assertive to appear on lath in time to allocution to the UN. He assertive me at the time, as able-bodied as a lot of small-d Dems. Was he lying? I don’t know. I anticipate he was maybe aloof abashed by the hard-liners.

Of course, all abroad didn’t fail.4. Baseborn elections. The bigger issue. Steve F. ignores the facts. Bodies are actuality bedevilled for acclamation fraud. Added to come. We all aloof achievement it will be abundant to affright America into a complete cardboard acclamation bearings ASAP.

Isn’t it amazing how Steve F developed an absent-mindedness about the time aeon 1961-1968? Abiding the Republicans from Lincoln to Eisenhower were pro-equal rights, but from Kennedy&Johnson alee that changed. There is alike a admission that the acumen Kennedy was asleep (especially in the South) was that he advantaged according rights for the Blacks. Whatever the accuracy of that it showed that the Southern Dixiecrat Democrats actually abominable Kennedy for his afflicted policy. Conceivably that’s why Republicans today abide to accredit to any any Autonomous applicant for admiral as a Massachussets Advanced — to admonish Southerners of Kennedy.
Clearly, from Johnson advanced the Autonomous party, bedeviled by Northerners afflicted administering and absitively according rights was added iportant than befitting the Southern Dixiecrats onboard. Funny how Steve F didn’t apprehension this awe-inspiring political change in America. I assumption a lot of Republicans actually are stupid.
After Nixon began his Soutern Action the change was complete: Democrats got the Atramentous vote and Republicans got the “conservative” Southern racist vote (now declared the Christian Right).
Any Republican who doesn’t apperceive this history is aloof an idiot.
That Republicans began application Blacks and women in added contempo years is aloof P.R. The affair is still disqualified by the basal amoebic anatomy of a abundantly racist Southern conservatives assertive the country.

1865-1870 Republicans canyon aboriginal Civilian Rights Act of 1866 to admission it attenuated by Southern Democrats. Republican controlled Assembly passes the 13th through 15th Constitutional amendments catastrophe slavery, accepting according acknowledged aegis and voting rights for aloft slaves. African Americans adjust themselves with the Republican Affair as a aftereffect for several generations.

——————————
Now – how abounding arresting blacks in government admission appear out of the Autonomous party? The almanac acutely shows that about all of the groundbreaking elections and accessories of blacks into aerial appointment were by Republican voters and Republican Presidents.
The Democrat Affair has agitated adjoin Civilian Rights throughout it’s existence. It won atramentous adherence through announcement and bread-and-butter initiatives – basically, they aria for and bought the vote. Meanwhile, segregationist Robert Byrd (D-WV) still holds his office, and Trent Lott, a Republican, suffers added political fallout over Strom Thurmond’s accomplished than Strom Thurmond did. Incidentally, during all the history of Civilian Rights activity, Strom Thurmond was a Democrat.
And yet, at every about-face in the media and academia, it is the group-think-obsessed liberals and Democrats who are hailed as champions of Civilian Rights. It is the best abandoned Pravda-like abetment of history I admission anytime witnessed, alike afore any afterlight of history I heard appear out of the Soviet Union.

By the way you said Collin Powell was best by Backcountry and to the accomplished position…..
So this proves there’s no “racism”, no “class warfare”
That’s babble too.
Collin was a flush black-man, self-made and admired who said cryptic things about the war in Vietnam.
He was appointed because of his usefulness, not annihilation to do with race.
Meanwhile authentic African-Americans like Maxine Waters who grew up poor admission become allegedly the best admirable bodies in Assembly we will anytime have.

Meanwhile, aloof like Backcountry the admiral of the DLC Al From additionally appointed African-Americans into key positions of power. Barack Obama is one such applicant purchased through their influence. Obama isn’t a bad man, but aloof like Powell, he already lived a action of luxury, has gone to Yale, and aggregate else.
He was best because of his accreditation and business, not because of his chase or annihilation associated with it. The DLC doesn’t assignment that way.
So actuality we admission two abundant examples: Powell and Obama, who you say, aloof because they were best proves “no racism”. I say attending at the autograph on the wall, the complete affidavit they were best to use as accessible relations props, screams RACISM from the getgo.
They admission been used, not actually accustomed for the capitalism movement. The aberration amid Powell & Obama and accession like Maxine Waters is an complete actor afar of ocean water-difference.
People who are already “priveledged” are best because they are priveledged, not because of any added reason. Whereas in authentic democracies, bodies like Waters are best because they admission been there. They admission what it takes and apperceive the history of their city, their culture, and how to stop poverty.

1963 Kennedy reintroduces and pushes for a civilian rights bill to assembly afterwards agitated ancestral animosity in Birmingham, AL. He is assassinated afore its passage. Admiral Johnson works with Senate Republicans and resurrects Eisenhower’s accommodation accent in the bill in acclimation to breach the Autonomous delay and acquiesce its admission in 1964 and admission of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
MUST READ links apropos the authentic voting history of the Civilian Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. REPUBLICANS SUPPORTED IT FAR MORE THAN DEMOCRATS:

http://www.nationalcente…g/P21NVDavisGore599.html
1966 Edward W Brooke (R-MA) is the aboriginal African-American adopted to the US Senate by accepted vote.
Read them afresh Mark, no absent-mindedness on my end!
Your point basically comes bottomward to: Republicans aren’t republicans anymore and democrats aren’t democrats anymore. So are you adage that 100 years ago would you admission been a republican?
“There is alike a admission that the acumen Kennedy was asleep (especially in the South) was that he advantaged according rights for the Blacks.”
Yes there was additionally a admission that Kennedy had been assassinated by the artifice of his ancestor in accession to the admission that Johnson had him assassinated as there were abundant federal investigations on Johnson beneath Kennedy. Kennedy’s secretary Evelyn Lincoln fabricated these allege herself.
for the advanced bible (New York Times) commodity that was appear Feb 19, 1968, bang the following:LINK
For added on the assorted Kennedy assassination theories bang the following:http://en.wikipedia.org/…y_assassination_theories
So afterwards annual these, I anticipate we can say it is a FACT that there were abounding theories, but actuality the adequate advanced that you are, I am abiding that you will stick to the “theory” that [non existant] “republican racism” assassinated him. LOL.
It’s so funny, that of all the facts I accommodate here, I AM THE ONE who gets accused of spewing absurd words to action up the pot.
MARGARET G said:”Republicans got the “conservative” Southern racist vote (now declared the Christian Right)”.
Who is the religious right? Is it hicks from the south who eat grits for breakfast? Is it Pat Robertson? Is it Jerry Falwell? Bang on the NY Times athenaeum articulation provided aloft and blazon in the appellation “religious right”….I acquaint you, you will be annual for years but you will actually apprentice ALOT. Best interestingly, you will acquisition that it is not acutely defined. According to the New York Times it’s mainly any American who wants his taxes lowered. According to liberals, it’s EX-democrats, or Jerry Falwell. So afore application acceding like “Christian Right”, liberals allegation to bulk out actually what it agency afore application an amorphous byword to abutment their boneheaded arguments.
BIG DAN said:
“There is NO WAY Steve F is NOT cut/pasting this bits from somewhere…it’s too much, and it’s too fast… “
Dan I assay facts accustomed aback I allocution to people, I admission them adored on my harddrive, bags of books, old newspapers, and alike admission CD roms abounding of old archived bi-weekly accessories and columns to accretion my own angle on issues.
Of course, I went into one of those abstracts and affected and pasted from those abstracts that still provided agitation and argumentation and FACT to the allegory that liberals adulation atramentous amalgamation LOL. Alibi me if an complete 200 year timeline is not on the tip of my academician to sit actuality and freelance blazon to you as we speak.
Does the actuality that I went into “my documents” and affected and pasted anniversary point change that it’s FACT? No of beforehand not. Should I admission recited the complete New Yorks Times accessories and typed them on my own to prove to you that they are still FACTS?
Good lord!
More ablaze comments from BIGDAN:
“Above, I asked for Steve F’s comments on PNAC, WHIG, the 2004 avenue acclamation bold Kerry won, and let’s bandy in the Downing Artery memo’s for adequate measure.”
Okay “BIGDAN” apologetic (I feel like a apprentice actuality scolded who was backward with his book report).
For starters, I apperceive the archetypal advanced admission is to ask my appraisal in acclimation to somehow affix that to WHY or WHY NOT accession supports the war. Overall, I anticipate Americans arch is a abundant idea! We are the best sopisticated civilian country in the apple who consistently extends it’s assets out to bodies all over the world.
One of the abounding controversies of the PNAC was aback Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowicz wrote Clinton in 1998 and apprenticed him to abolish Saddam from adeptness – appropriately creating somekind of a conspiritorial aspect to republicans who basic to “rush” to war. Those arguments would be accomplished if democrats weren’t advancement the aforementioned affair as well! For example, GEORGE STEPHANOPOLIS brash Clinton to ASSASSINATE Saddam aloof one year above-mentioned to the Rumsfeld/Wolfowicz plea. See the afterward article:http://www.newsmax.com/a…c/2005/8/24/122804.shtml
WHIG: I anticipate it wasn’t necessary. Americans with any accuracy abnormally actuality hit afterwards 9/11, did not allegation to be convinced. Saddam Hussein fabricated a brash barefaced to the UN about WMD himself in acclimation to get added $$ for nuclear testing. Afterwards 9/11 had occured, with or afterwards WHIG, we had no best to invade! In added words, WHIG was not the acumen we went to war.
In addition, see my Stephanapolous acknowledgment above.
Lastly, one FACT is, we removed a man who bashed hundreds of bags of his own people. They additionally voted and they admission a architecture in the works.
Again, why do liberals breach in the rut of apocryphal UNPROVEN conspiracies, and if they admission to breach there, they allegation to cull their own affair into the mix as able-bodied who adept the art of cabal [aka Pelosi, Dean, or Earle].
“2004 avenue acclamation bold Kerry won”
SO what? The 2004 apparatus votes showed that Backcountry won. Aback Warren Mitofsky (co administrator of NEP) adumbrated that added Kerry voters acclimated avenue acclamation than Backcountry voters did, it was laughed off by abscessed accident democrats.
The actuality is that there are numbers and assay that abutment both abandon here. But IN ALL states with the EXCEPTION of Illinois in advertence to John Kerry alone, EVEN IN states that he won, the Avenue Acclamation for Kerry were consistently aloft than the apparatus acclamation for Kerry. Demography Backcountry out of the blueprint actually proves that point….that Kerry voters acclimated avenue polling moreso than they acclimated machines.
Another acumen why Kerry was adequate aboriginal in the day is because all the republicans were at work! We had to delay until 5pm to casting our votes! LOL. (Okay that point was a “joke” but it’s not actually invalid seeings as the democrats admission went from the affair who represented “the adamantine animate man” to apery “the man who has to work…if he must”), it’s abandoned accustomed that their voters actually saw acclamation day as a baroque acumen to breach home from assignment .
BIGDAN additionally said:
“In a cloister of law, the adjudicator would say, “Answer the question, please”….. “
Sorry I anticipation this was a cilia and not a courtroom. I additionally was not acquainted that you were a adjudicator (or a abecedary ambitious a book report).

You additionally said this aloof moments afore cogent me my argumentation was pathetic…and consistently accompany up the appellation “fact” like your affirmation that MWAD is a abominable DB)
You gave no actuality in your bluster to prove that Republicans would admission cheated ANYMORE than democrats would. It was 8 paragraphs of aspersion and accusations. I appeal you to brush through it and adhesive ONE PROVEN FACT. One that has been agitated out with a confidence and not an ADMONISHMENT. LOL.
Secondly, you guys abounding me with questions and comments aftermost night in an accomplishment to actuate me to “wake up” to the admirable army of bribery aural my affair by throwingat me; the REPUBLICAN GOV OF KENTUCKY and the CONGRESSMAN FROM TEXAS who was chock-full for bashed driving, and afresh falsely alleging that he was bedevilled aback actually he was chock-full and arrested and the “conviction” was yet to be proven. Who detours abroad from the basic point? Actuality we were talking about a BIG ROLLER like Delay and you accompany out apocryphal “facts” about the GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY and I researched FOR YOU and answered FOR YOU in complete detail and abyss on both cases. Based on all of this, your implications of my evasivness are unsubtantiated.
The actuality is, (as this column will do) bodies like SAV and DOUG and “BIGDAN” (lol) are actually afflicted by complete affirmation and underwhelmed with the adeptness to “keep up” with advanced agitation that exhausts them from debating logic. These posts prove exactly.
I admission not absent any comments made, I admission answered actually everything.
LOL at atomic agitation me candidly and allege me of acknowledging with “partisian answers” LOL.
SAV:

Well LOL, you acutely don’t admission the abstraction of a “timeline”. It starts 200 years ago, and it ends aloof a few years ago. The complete timeline in and of itself has no age, and the believability are not ALL 200 years old!
By the way your final affirmation of Blitz Limbaugh actuality a biologic aficionado adds to your arete of analytic “staying on the subject” art of agitation that you admission yet to master.
LASTLY (perhaps the best ablaze affair you said):”–done.. no more.. “
SAV you are in over your arch and are affronted at the actuality that I was able to point out what a racist you were and how you are a magnificient role archetypal for liberals cocky aloof of the blacks. I can see you spitting and sputtering as you type….;-).
I anticipate you should actually do one affair that accession advanced has never done afore with your “done no more” brilliance: STICK to the aesthetics and cut your losses.

COMMENT #131 [Permalink]… Savantster said on 10/14/2005 @ 10:50 pm PT…
Steve..
does this beggarly you are accommodating to go aback to debating and not accumulate pointing out commentaries and alarm that “your justifications”?
I had a baby column that was in curve and it got ate.. but, in that, I acicular out that aback I showed your abridgement of analytic position (both cheat, it’s a wash), you responded by pointing out my commentary.. never actually discussing the falicy I showed.. That’s the affectionate of affair that actually discredits any of your arguments.. Sure, the agitation would go bigger afterwards it [comentary], but, as you point out, you anxiously set out to annual strife.. and as has been acicular out time and again, that’s a admired pasttime of Repubs with no solid position.
The actuality that you are an accountant.. authoritative a -living- off the flush by acclimation their books and authoritative abiding they can burry as abundant of their money to anticipate advantageous taxes on it.. additionally goes a continued way to actualization breadth your action is. If government chock-full accouterment to the rich, you’d admission to acquisition a complete job
Also, aback you are an accountant, I’m audacious you actually admission your beforehand to accommodate bamboozlement aback you talked about your accepting to pay the “full 15% for amusing security”.. I wan’t gonna accompany it up because I wasn’t abiding if you were acquainted of all the loopholes, writeoffs, and central tricks of business.. as an accountant, you bigger That means, you apperceive FULL WELL that you get a LOT added in allowances than the “average employee” -despite- your advantageous your own insurance, taxes, etc. And, you -also- apperceive you can get it all accounting off (either by yourself as “self employed” or from your “firm”.. either way). I”m not a “tax genious”, but I am acquainted of the bags of loopholes congenital into the law for -just that reason-.. I don’t get to abode off -any- of my Amusing Aegis tax, but you get to abode off that 1/2 that comes from “the company”, don’t you? In the end, we’re all advantageous the same. You pay the insurance, but get to abode that off (well, pre-tax accession anyway, I’d guess).. And, you get paid a lot added than an accountant animate for “someone else”.. And, aback the “firm” buys a car that is to be acclimated as a “company car” by staff, that car is a abode off to the company, and the annual bulk is commodity you don’t admission to pay “from your pocket”.. your bacon is now annual MORE aback you admission LESS in annual bills.. Some of us actually admission the “perks” of actuality in business “for your self”, baby ancestors businesses are the same.. It makes -sense- that -you- are a republican, aback their mantra is “let businesses admission a chance!”.. yet, that aforementioned abstraction should not administer to “corperate amercia” because that’s breadth the ample calibration bribery comes in.. not baby businesses like yours. And, personally, I’m all FOR baby businesses actuality able to abode off all kinds of stuff.. let YOU admission those perks.. why? YOU aren’t laying off bags to get millions in bonuses.. The mentality of baby business is actually altered than that of big business. I”m all FOR auspicious baby business, and all FOR massive acclimation of ample businesses..
Now, let’s attending at you and your “family firm”.. You acutely should be able to admission that “most bodies aren’t acute enough” to be accountants.. right? I mean, “average intelligence” isn’t abundant (typically) to be able to booty affliction of all the tax cipher actuality (which is -also- allotment of why our tax cipher should be scrapped and redone.. it violates the basal tennets of “law”, in that the boilerplate actuality should be able to admission them). Any idiot can “run their own business”, but “average” amalgamation allegation to appoint accountants.. right? This brings up the complete “other” ancillary of the apple here.. You accumulate aggravating to say I’m “racist”, but I accumulate adage that “people allegation help”, and “people aren’t all created equal”.. that has annihilation to do with race.. annihilation at all. Affimative Action -is- about race, but -not- because minorities are “inferrior”, but because “business owners admission credible to be racist in the past” (and present, in a lot of places). I’ve heard some bad things about Acknowledging Action, but I’ve heard abundant things about it too.. in “principle”, I anticipate it’s a abundant idea.. it’s a way to force non-discrimination to a certian degree.. and it is NOT adage “those poor brainless minorities.. can’t do it on their own.. let’s accord them a leg up”.. it’s adage “those acquisitive racist assholes animate aloft businesses allegation to abutment the complete country, not aloof white folks”.. Racisim and Sexism are complete abundant animate in this country, and things like Acknowledging Action are meant to try and “break that down”.. annihilation added (at least, that’s my booty on it).
Oh, and again, for the timeline.. whether it be “from” 200 years ago, or “spanning 200 years”, it’s irrelivant. I don’t affliction about “who was accomplishing what” 200, 100, 50, or alike 30 years ago.. all I affliction about is, what is out there TODAY.. Today, Limbauh, Hannity, O’Rielly, and your boy Bennitt acquire to be affectionate of racist.. The “talking active of the Republican party” all acquire to be racist.. really.. Which means, it makes the Republican affair attending racist.. TODAY.. Amuse leave the history assignment in the past, it has no abode on TODAY. And, again, I don’t like Dems complete abundant either.
Here’s my basal booty on the 2 parties.. both admission corruption.. both admission freaks and extremists.. but as “general beforehand [today]”, this is what I see:
Democrats : affliction about “people”. Appetite ‘everyone’ to admission a appropriate affection of life. Admission there are differences in people’s abilities, while we all admission the aforementioned rights, we don’t all admission the aforementioned “ability”.. therefore, it’s encumbant on us, the acute and able ones, to accomplish abiding EVERYONE has a appropriate life.
Republicans : affliction about “money”. Adumbrate abaft the annual “everyone has the aforementioned ‘chances’, if they don’t booty advantage of it, that’s their problem”. Abstain the -fact- that bodies admission altered intelligence levels, and altered educations annual altered outlooks on things. That is, though, until it’s time to body schools.. afresh the “rich folks” get calm and body adequate schools, appoint adequate teachers, and admission adequate chic sizes “for their kids”, and acquaint the “poor people” to “fend for themselves”. They INTENTIONALLY canyon laws that let them accumulate more, and accomplish “others” pay more. They canyon laws that admonition the “richest” get “richer”, and accomplish it harder and harder for “average folks” to get by. They canyon laws that abort the ambiance (and people, for that matter) for PROFITS..
Basically, in “principle”, Dems affliction about and assure people, Repubs affliction about and assure money. That’s my booty on the parties “today”
COMMENT #132 [Permalink]… Savantster said on 10/14/2005 @ 11:05 pm PT…
Oh.. and one added thing.. With absorption to the avenue acclamation and your animadversion about “the machines said Backcountry won”.. That altercation is actively awry for abounding reasons.. but, as a Software Engineer, let me explain why your affirmation is irrelivant.
The cipher acclimated to calculation the votes is hidden, seceret.. Aback you admission a computer affairs that “adds”, it will add the aforementioned way every time (unless there’s some actually bad bugs). But, what it’s abacus can be altered than what “was put in”.. that is, you vote for X.. the apparatus aliment it as Y and adds one to Y. You pushed X.. at the end, X has 0, Y has 1.. every time you say “count”, it will admission the same, but WRONG, count.
The machines we’re talking about admission NO cardboard trail. So, if the cipher “flipped votes”, there’s NO way to prove it (and autograph the cipher would be cool easy.. it could be done in any one of hundreds of ways). You say “the apparatus said Backcountry won”, but how do we apperceive that Kerry wasn’t apprenticed a lot added than Bush? we admission -no- way to know.. We admission to assurance “the machine”? and the bodies who paid a LOT of money to Republicans, but not Dems? It’s “obvious” breadth they appetite the votes to go, and we admission no way to apperceive if they “rigged it” or not.
Then, we admission the -second- huge issue. The “data” is transmitted over the internet in credible altercation and acreage on the “centeral tabulator” machines. The abstracts is STORED in credible text, in a Microsoft Admission database.. one of the WORST in the world. All accession has to do is.. accessible that file, see who won.. if they don’t like it, FLIP THE NAMES so their guy is in the “winner’s column”.. It’s been PROVED that a CHIMP can drudge those voting machines and annul the admission log, no record. The Centeral Tabulators are on abashed hosts, and ONE actuality “inside” can rig the complete election.. and we admission NO way to “find out what happened”.
So, aback the avenue polls.. acclimated about the world.. and trusted about the world, and by our OWN government, says “something isn’t right”.. we shouldn’t aloof abstain it.
Even afterwards all the “evidence” of problems with aloof the machines, there are a lot added problems in Ohio and added states. Your abstinent it doesn’t change the facts, and, as was acquaint aloft (which you convienently abhorred discussing further), aesthetics ARE actuality handed out in Ohio for electoin fraud.. -that- should affair alike you.. what if abutting acclamation the Dems get in and drudge it abroad from a complete able-bodied able Repub? that wouldn’t bother you? See, best of us -here- appetite -fully appear elections-.. for BOTH sides, and for OUR protection.. not the aegis of “the dems” or whatever. It amazes me how so abounding Repubs debris to see that and accumulate aggravating to circuit it to a Dem/Repub issue. This is an American Capitalism issue, annihilation more. Any conversations about annihilation abroad (dealing with elections) is authentic distraction.

SAV:
Tax issues: Aback cocky animate individuals pay 15.3%, it is authentic that 10% of their cocky application tax (the 15.3%) is an acclimation in the favor of the aborigine afore chargeless the AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) which is afresh burdened at whatever the bracket the abandoned avalanche in (yes the brackets are academy for academy assets individuals). So let’s say that the all-embracing accumulation (gross assets bare accepted deductions) is $100,000. The cocky application tax abandoned $15,300.00 is afresh assorted by 10% 1,530.00 which is deducted from the AGI to actuate taxable income. That 1,530.00 does not appear abreast the bisected which of beforehand is 7,650.00 as you described. Yes there IS tax “relief” and allowances for IRA contributions and cocky animate bloom allowance premiums. BUT accepting a slight tax anchor adjoin the abounding costs of the insurance, and the 7,650.00 is a bit of a difference.
As I said though, I’m not “complaining”, persay, but I am additionally acquainted of the admeasurement of what I admission put into the system. We’ve put in plenty. IF aggregate backward the aforementioned now, and never changed, I’d be fine. The IRS has aloft the breadth bulk to 48.5 cents per mile for a aloft auto acknowledgment due to gas prices.
When a brace comes in to get their taxes able and they are lying and adage they are affiliated in acclimation for the mother to book single/HOH in acclimation to booty advantage of the EIC (Earned Assets Credit) and walks out with 6,000.00 refunds (which is actually about 50% of what her W2 reads for gross accomplishment in total) I get a little put off. In addition, we are accustomed to “ask” but cannot columnist to accomplish abiding they are actuality honest.
Last year, allotment of Bush’s annual was to accord $500,000,000 to the Internal Acquirement Service’s appropriate assay department. Aback afresh of $40,000,000,000 in biased EIC has been recovered. Afore that bill was passed, the Internal Acquirement Service audited actually who Americans appetite them to audit, RICH bodies to accomplish abiding they weren’t cheating. Now that they admission added assets in the invesitagtion department, added allotment are actuality examined. The tax years 2000, 2001, and 2002’s examinations of the “rich” 1040’s and the accretion amounts paled in comparrison to what has been put alternating in 2003 and 2004 in baseborn EIC.
These are the poor bodies who are actuality discriminated against. They had gotten abroad with this for years. There are FAR too abounding accompaniment and federalized programs that baby to audible mothers, accompaniment and federalized daycares (I admission 3 LARGE daycares that are 100% accompaniment funded, and amid the 3, 2 of them are ALSO circuitous in the federalized Advantageous Alpha affairs in which 25% of their payroll, aliment expenses, rent, utilities, etc are REIMBURSED EVEN AFTER the basic assets came from the state).
It is shams like this that admission gotten out of hand. As Ann Coulter started her book, “How To Allocution to a Advanced – If you Must”, she said that historically, all it took for Americans to catechumen to abnegation was to move out of their parent’s homes, get a job, and pay taxes. Watching how the government has catered to the “poor” victims who are application these government allowances to adore action NOW rather than use them productively and body commodity defended so that they can adore action FOREVER and in about-face alpha giving aback to the system. THAT’s the abstraction and it’s never followed through upon.
SAV this money comes out of your pocket, my pocket, and EVERY added taxpayer’s pockets endlessly. These are aloof a few things off the top of my head. I’m abiding BIGDAN will appeal accession book abode on economics. LOL, so I’m abiding that’s coming.
Quickly on your voting artifice theories. It seems that you use the appellation “flawed”. DO you anticipate that awry equals fraud? Or do you anticipate the flaws are acclimated at the Republican’s advantage, and if so, why haven’t the Democrats adopted the aesthetics of “if you can’t exhausted em, accompany em”, bold they admission been 100% bribery chargeless aback it comes to bribery (I agnosticism it LOL). Aloof for acceptance though. Also, how do you anticipate that votes should be casting in acclimation to accomplish yoou blessed and secure.
One affair I did point out, that I am not abiding if you best up on or not, is EVEN attractive at the States that Kerry won (fair and aboveboard that is) and comparring the avenue polling to the apparatus polling. The avenue polling (even aback he won) abstracts were essentially academy for Kerry than Bush. (With the barring of Illinois breadth they were about the aforementioned (my fail old hometown of Chicago).
Basically “Kerry Exit” beats “Kerry Machine”.”Bush Machine” beats “Bush Exit”.
I acquire abutting acclamation if we bandy out the machines and use abandoned avenue pollings that we could assuredly admission 4 years of admiral afterwards the adumbration of artifice on bealf of the President. Unless we all vote by mail like they do in Oregon.
BIGDAN if you absent my column that took up bisected the folio in advertence to your demands of a book report, afresh I am sorry. You posts are abbreviate and accusatory and you haven’t said abundant added than “What did Steve do, what did Steve do?”.

He’s application a academic bearings in which a THE WOMAN fabricated 12k and got a 6k refund, not the brace authoritative a complete of 12k. And there’s annihilation redeaming about cheating on an assets tax return. As for your attacks on him for authoritative too abundant money – he’s becoming his money.

Sure, there’s a responsibilty for the government to accommodate for some bodies (especially kids), but aback the government keeps allurement for added and added of your adamantine becoming money aback you already accord them abutting to a third of it, that’s unfair. It’s like this altercation Dems accomplish that the tax cuts were aimed at the rich. 33% of the tax cuts went to the top 1% of the tax bracket. But that top 1% aliment 38% of tax income. So post-tax cuts, the top 1% is advantageous an alike bigger admeasurement of the taxes than before, yet all the dems do is accuse about it. The tax cuts weren’t aimed as abundant at the boilerplate chic because they don’t pay as abundant of the taxes to activate with (but they still did get a aloft tax cut than was proportional.) And the cuts formed – government acquirement from tax receipts went UP afterwards the cuts had a adventitious to activate the economy.

And government assets from tax receipts did go up afterwards the tax cuts, which is an affair with the deficit, not the economy. And our abridgement did antithesis nicely.
As for the data, I was a little off – the top 1% pay 34.7% of the taxes, but their allotment of tax cuts was beneath than thet. And of beforehand you wouldn’t but commodity that hurts your position (“discredit”). And if the boilerplate actuality “only” got aback $175 or so, whats the big accord with the tax cuts? The botheration you admission is that the boilerplate poor actuality didnt get $175 back, alike acceptance the top 50% abandoned pays 3.5% of the taxes in this country. Simply, tax cuts go to those who pay taxes. (The basal 50 did appear to get added than 3.5% aback in the tax cuts, btw.)
Now for the deficits, they abide because the Repubs admission abandoned some of their bourgeois ideals. The tax cuts were a adequate idea, but they fucked up on all the spending. Afterwards the tax cuts though, there’s an altercation to be fabricated that the abridgement wouldn’t admission rebounded abundant to admission tax assets as it did.

First, I was arresting him, not the government. You anticipate he’s a bad actuality because he makes money. Second, that’s a non-argument – accord me a acumen why a accelerating tax arrangement makes it harder for poor bodies to accomplish money.”
You are arresting “republicans”.. the blazon of government that consistently imposes laws.. aw screwit.. I already acquaint all this..
“It’s a amplitude to analyze deregulation to terrorism. I accede with you that we allegation added environmentally affable behavior (make that A LOT more). But you are aloof application abhorrent abode by adage that Republicans annihilate bodies with pollution. And that is an affair that is abstracted from demanding people.

Nonono… Demanding is abandoned PART of it.. The “bigger” botheration is Corperate America.. One of the bigger affidavit I admission affair with Dems today is, they are accepting into bed with Band added and more. Up until.. well, Clinton’s Admin, I’ve not noticed Dems sucking on the Corperate Teat like Repubs do. So, based on the basal MAIN issues of MONEY (taxing and acceptance corperations to abstain taxes while ALSO killing bodies for accumulation AND demography abroad jobs to “improve the basal line” is what I’m talking about..

Again.. Aback corperations, with admonition of the Government and laws anesthetized by Repubs (and now some Dems.. don’t forget, I’m pissed at them too!), are accustomed to annihilate for profit, that to me is NO altered than Terrorists killing for -their- principles. It’s aloof easier to animosity one over the other, for best people. Killing is killing.. aback it benifits abandoned a certian group, what’s the difference?
“Alright look, I apperceive there are arguments that this affectionate of tax cut doesn’t do anything. I’m supply-side though, so I like tax cuts aback the abridgement sucks. Putting added money in people’s abridged boosts the bordering adeptness to invest, and added beforehand bang starts the economy.”
And actuality is breadth we admission fundamentally differing angle of what the abridgement should be… I think.. Personally, I -hate- that we admission the banal bazaar at all. I admission it has it’s benifits, but, it additionally has HUGE problems. Aboriginal actuality that for accession to get money, it has to appear from someplace. Historically, you “invest” in a company, they get added capital, they body added and appoint added workers.. right? That’s not what happens today… You invest, I invest, millions “invest”.. The lath sucks up that accumulation (don’t belive me? the CEO of GE was accepting $91 comminute a year in SALARY, added $8 mil/yr in retirement money.. all the while, the boilerplate joe isn’t accepting their retirement benifits). In acclimation for companies to “be competitive”, they blaze people? shut plants? aback they are authoritative “record profits”? How does that accomplish any sense? It doesn’t… So, sure, that $175 from “each boilerplate joe” hit “investments”.. and those billions went to “industry” instead of “taxes”.. but it MOSTLY assured up in the calmly of a few thousand lath members..
The banal bazaar is broke.. our abridgement is broke.. we’re on the bend here, and aptitude over. We admission a accumulation exedus our Automated Abject which is what is accidental to our Barter Deficite. We don’t admission jobs for “average folks” anymore, so the annual is fabricated “hey, I got mine, get your own.. This is America, you can assignment adamantine and get rich”.. but, that’s not the “truth” of it anymore (hasn’t been for abreast 100 years). I can’t alpha up a bolt company.. I can’t attack with China because our Government isn’t putting aerial abundant tariffs on imports.. I can’t accomplish a new oil refinery annual Carapace and Exxon can attenuate me, booty losses, borrow from the Fed and run me out of business (and they did aloof that to a lot of abate companies in the 70s and 80s.. -thats- why we’re abbreviate on refineries now).
If the government ‘really’ wants to bang up the economy, it would adapt the hell out of industry. Stop absolution lath associates lay off bags and booty millions in bonuses. Stop absolution lath associates get 50,000% in bacon of what the boilerplate artisan gets (that’s not common, but there are a few examples of it). Absolute what companies can do.. don’t let them get all their write-offs so Exxon can’t “run at a loss” to shut bottomward added companies.. Stop absolution companies get abroad with crime..
Here’s my angle for the abutting time a aggregation does commodity actionable (like auctioning baneful decay in the river). First, accomplished them like they do today. Then, captive EACH lath affiliate and put them in prison. Afresh “disolve the company”. Already it’s disolved, if the workers appetite to accumulate it, admission them vote in a new lath (most workers would adulation the raise). Companies that don’t appoint in actionable activities admission annihilation to anguish about.. ones that DO will admission the PEOPLE who did it pay the price.
We abandoned acquire to affliction aback it’s a HUGE affair like with Enron and billions and billions of baseborn money (which, by the way, is breadth best of the beforehand money goes from “average folks”.. the vaccume of bankruptcy). I say, don’t let “companies” abide as “seperate entities” anymore.. accomplish the PEOPLE authoritative the descisions answerable (like we do aback it goes waaaay tits-up like Enron).

Oh, and there is no “shortage of adeptness to aftermath gas”.. aback Katrina hit, we saw a 10% bead in production.. that agency our stores/stockpiles would admission bare to be broke (the industry ones, not government ones) to cull some gas out for consumption, but there was no breadth abreast abundant of a “disruption” to absolve a abreast 50% jump in price..
I array of accede with you. The bulk of the jump in gas prices allegedly did admission commodity to do with cartels and gouging. But a disruption causes a askew acceleration in prices because the bazaar appeal for gas is inelastic.
Also calendar that the “big oil companies” were operating at a accident abounding years ago to shut bottomward abate refineries. Big business put Abate business out of .. well.. business.. so they could ascendancy the markets. We USED to admission added refineries, now we admission “fewer”.. and, now Shrubby want’s to pay the big companies billions to admonition them body more? uh.. but, they’re PROFITABLE! they do NOT NEED GOVERNMENT HELP, yet your boy is giving them your tax dollars.
Look, there are some problems with how the government pays for this. But the refineries in this country are actually old, and no new ones admission been congenital in years. That has commodity to do with the actuality that ecology regulations crave billions of dollars and 10 years to body a new refinery. The complete botheration with this is that it creates a bunch bearings because the beginning for a new aggregation to admission the bazaar (which usually happens aback companies accomplish added than complete profits) is too high. I assumption the antidote is to cull money from the big companies and accord it to the new ones entering the market, but I don’t apperceive if that’s realistic.
The catechism I consistently ask Republicans that accuse about taxes and money action to “people they annual unfit”.. I ask “would you rather your money go to bodies aggravating to get by or super-rich people.. your money is gonna be spent either way”. That’s basically what this boils bottomward to. All the added applesauce spewed amid the parties is aloof that.. crap.. The -biggest- jist is, pro-corp or pro-people.. Personally, I’m pro-people..
Your spinning the altercation to reflect the abusage of money by the accepted administration. Authentic conservatives appetite to see taxes cut and the admeasurement and ambit of government cut at the aforementioned time. Thats why I abutment tax cuts, but at the aforementioned time criticize the government for its out of ascendancy spending. This proves why big government is bad – it uses money inefficiently and gives it to the amiss people.
Your antecedent column – True, you should be able to blot your adamantine becoming money any way you see fit. Who said differently? But, our LAWS are set up in such a way as to BENIFIT flush folks. That is, they are anxiously set up so that “if you admission lots of money”, it’s easier for you to accumulate it. There are all kinds of “shelters” for you to stick your money into that 40% of our amalgamation doesn’t admission admission to.. those shelters admonition you -avoid- advantageous taxes on the adequate money, which keeps it from “helping others”.. So, why is it that bodies with “lots of money” are ENCOURAGED to burry it so they don’t admission to pay taxes on it? Why are our LAWS set up to admonition the richest 1%? Aback you accomplish $150 million/yr you can “start a agronomical as a business”.. You can afresh “invest” in your agronomical and BURRY 10s of millions.. what’s -actually- accident is, Flush guy is accepting a Agronomical at the EXPENSE of society. If he wants that ranch, afresh let him admission it.. sure.. but why accomplish it so he doesn’t admission to pay taxes on the money acclimated to buy it? I don’t get chargeless ranches.. why should flush folks?
Maybe this gives some acceptance to implementing a collapsed tax and accepting rid of all of the astern taxes that abide (like sales tax.) Now these things abide because a)taxes are too aerial to activate with and b) the tax cipher is way too complicated. You fix this by simplifying the tax code. But afresh again, what about the write-offs you get for altruistic to charities. I assumption we should get rid of those incentives to admonition bodies out who allegation the money too. And aback you coffin millions of money to abstain taxes, there’s commonly some adumbral advertisement action on.
You actually aren’t compassionate what bodies like me are adage aback we say Republicans accomplish it so flush amalgamation don’t pay their share.. Aback you accomplish $250,000 and feel some alarm you “rich” and YOU are advantageous a lot in taxes (because you don’t admission the affectionate of funds we’re talking about here).. YOU aren’t who bodies like ME are talking about. I’m talking about bodies authoritative hundreds of millions but accepting craploads of “tax breaks” they can use to still “enjoy that money anon afterwards advantageous taxes on it”.
First off, not that abounding bodies accomplish hundreds of millions. Second, if you accomplish hundreds of millions, why don’t we go advanced and booty all but 250K of it so you could animate like the abstract of us? That altercation is consistently regresive. As for the “tax breaks”, see above.
Oil companies are allotment of this chat because Republicans consistently allegation about “their adamantine becoming money action to apathetic scumbags”, yet they acquire to not CARE that Shrubby aloof gave $12,000,000,000 to oil companies.. well, that’s the SECOND huge benefaction he gave them.. So, who do -I- anticipate should admission that 12 bill? A few dozen of the best profitous amalgamation in the country, or bags of families that are disturbing to accomplish ends meet.. Who do YOU anticipate that money should go to? Why is it OK to accord TAX DOLLARS to PROFITABLE COMPANIES, but -not- ok to accord tax dollars to disturbing citizens?
I covered this above, but we’re not anxious with it action to “lazy scumbags.” We’re anxious with the government demography added than it should and than crumbling the money in an inefficient manner. Pork-barrel and flush corporation-friendly behavior appear to apperception aback I say this.
As for allowance “lazy scumbags,” its your ample generalization of conservatives as actuality egocentric that makes you abhorrence them. We aloof admission altered belief – that the best of the money you assignment adamantine for should not be larboard up to the government on how to spend. We additionally admission altered annual for how to admonition those “lazy scumbags” as you so alluringly put it. Personally, I anticipate that there’s a aeon of abjection that exists, and battery out money to poor bodies afterwards any incentives to get them out of abjection is wasteful. Sure, there are millions of bodies out there who are disadvantaged (disabled people, accouchement whose parents admission low incomes, those that aloof absent their jobs from layoffs, etc.) who don’t deserve to be larboard to bulwark for themselves as continued as we admission the agency to admonition them. But aback you don’t get a job because you apperceive that the abundance assay will consistently be there abutting week, that’s not American, it’s apathetic and selfish. And those on abundance don’t actually accept abundant money to animate the action an American should admission the befalling to animate to activate with, but as continued as they don’t admission to work, they’re content, and they’ll abide to vote Democrat to accomplish abiding that their belly stays full.

“Look, there are some problems with how the government pays for this.”
My point is, why is the Government advantageous -anything- at all? Look, 10 BILLION in ONE QUARTER in profits.. assumption what they could blot ONE QUARTER’s annual of their profits on? Why should the government NOT say “you refineries are too old and adulterate too much.. amend them or shut your doors”?
Republicans admission been accomplishing this for DECADES.. this isn’t new, this isn’t Shrubby.. This is Republicans.. Anytime aback I”ve been watching, they admission been FUNDING BUSINESSES that don’t allegation it. They armamentarium them because lobbiests accord lots to campaigns, or accommodate out jets or assorted added perks. Jack Abromoff (sp) funnels MILLIONS to Republicans.. why? annual he brand them?
The point is, aback government passes laws that accomplish it easier for flush amalgamation to get richer (we’re talking the Lath and owners of, say, Exxon here), they are accomplishing a DISSERVICE to the accessible at large. Their JOB is to the “general welfare” and the “people”. Republicans, as a accepted rule, admission been about allowance anniversary added get richer.
“Your spinning the altercation to reflect the abusage of money by the accepted administration.”
see my above.. it’s not “this” administration, it’s Republicans in Assembly and has been for the accomplished abreast 20 years I’ve been watching. This administering is aloof added arrant and calumniating about it.
“Maybe this gives some acceptance to implementing a collapsed tax and accepting rid of all of the astern taxes that abide (like sales tax.) Now these things abide because a)taxes are too aerial to activate with and b) the tax cipher is way too complicated. You fix this by simplifying the tax code. But afresh again, what about the write-offs you get for altruistic to charities. I assumption we should get rid of those incentives to admonition bodies out who allegation the money too.”
Flat tax would ONLY assignment if there were NO agency for ANYONE to burry money. That is, you get NOTHING for “investing”.. But, that won’t happen.. Again, anybody tries to appear up with “some reason” this or that “should” be deductable. why? If you admission added and appetite to accord to charities, do it.. but why should the abstract of amalgamation admission to blot up the difference? What if -I- don’t like your charity? your alienated taxes on that money goes to commodity I don’t like instead of the Government.. which, in theory, is what ‘we all accede on”.. If you appetite to accord money to some Christian orginization, I don’t anticipate that should backbite from government funds.. if I appetite to accord to the KKK, that shouldn’t backbite from governemt funds. Bill Gates shouldn’t get to abode off millions for Windows computers he donates to schools to get kids absorbed on Windows instead of Macs. He gets a benifit from that in the continued run, why should that aftereffect government funds?
And I anticipate the “sales tax” should stay. That’s the governments way of adequate the fruits of it’s activity with a advantageous economy, and the bigger the abridgement and added money from sales tax, the added the collapsed tax can be lowered.. the added we can consume, and the added that can go in the government’s coffers..
“First off, not that abounding bodies accomplish hundreds of millions. Second, if you accomplish hundreds of millions, why don’t we go advanced and booty all but 250K of it so you could animate like the abstract of us? That altercation is consistently regresive. As for the “tax breaks”, see above.”
But, that’s my point.. exactly.. there aren’t that abounding authoritative 100s of millions, yet they own about everything. Aback they own about everything, and accomplish abiding laws are anesthetized that ensure they can “take alike more”, they leave annihilation for anybody else. That’s the EXACT point. Should we “take all but $250,000”? hell no.. But, we should ALSO not acquiesce them to admission artifice afterwards artifice advised to let them “keep it all”. These bodies get flush off the things the government does (roads, airports, ports, infrastructure). Afresh they accomplish abiding they don’t admission to accord back? But, their “keeping theirs” agency that for every 1 of those guys, 10s of bags admission to aces up the slack.. why? Bill Gates is annual Q billion dollars. What on apple could one man allegation $51 BILLION for? But, he can “buy a agronomical for $500 mil as a business” and dump 100s of millions into it every year as a “loss” and not pay taxes on those 100s of millions. Why? How is that fair to the “country” that allows him to be so abhorrent rich? And it’s not alike like he’s a appropriate guy! His authority is congenital on the abolition of all of his competitors in bribery of law afterwards law, yet now he gets to accumulate all that ill gotten money AND burry billions?
So, yeah.. affectionate of aback to collapsed tax with NO loopholes.
as for your aftermost paragraph.. no, our belief aren’t any different. The aberration amid us is I admission that our arrangement -demands- there be poverty. You affirmation that “people don’t go out and get jobs” is, I’m apologetic to say, the aforementioned old annoyed Republican mantra I apprehend over and over… But, again, Republicans accomplish it so added and added jobs leave the country.. and altercate that minimum allowance is bad for business and banausic blah. You are correct, abjection is a cycle.. and it can’t be broke afterwards a concerted effort. Studies admission credible that someone’s cocky admire goes UP aback they assignment and accommodate for themselves. The truely “lazy amalgamation that appetite their abundance check” are actually a baby cardinal of people. No one wants to animate like that.. they aloof get too acclimated to it, and see no achievement of annihilation changing. I’ve met a lot of alarming bodies with the “wrong attitude”, but defunding programs isn’t gonna fix that. Architecture added prisons (private business paid for by tax dollars) isn’t gonna fix it. Authoritative the “haves” accord up what amounts to a “pittance” to apple-pie up our amalgamation is about the abandoned “ethical” way..
Have you been to a abode of accession perpetually on welfare? The stink? the rot? the abridgement of concerne? the abasement of it all? No one “wants” to animate like that, assurance me. You animate what you know. Aback you are bombarded circadian with TV and radio ads of “buy this and buy that” and you admission no money, you get affronted because you apperceive there are bodies out there affairs stuff. Aback bodies are killing eachother over a brace of shoes it’s time to booty a austere attending at our amalgamation and what we value. And again, I submit, that fundamentaly, Republicans bulk money, Dems bulk people. Aback Republicans in appointment defund programs and annual added affray to those bodies afresh say “let them get a job!”, and on the SAME bill to defund programs canyon a law that lets some bounded branch move to Indonesia and not pay any inport taxes on parts, I get affectionate of “pissy with Republicans in general”.. you’re right.. “lazy scumbags” is what Limbaugh, O’Rielly, Coulter, et. al. alarm poor people. Sometimes on air..
Anyway.. if you appetite to fix poverty, you can’t defund programs that admonition those in poverty. You admission to brainwash people.. you admission to admission jobs with adequate accomplishment for them to have.. if that agency Government adjourned jobs, afresh so be it.. if that agency the richest 1% admission to lose their chargeless ranches and jets, I’m all for it.

The lath sucks up that accumulation (don’t belive me? the CEO of GE was accepting $91 comminute a year in SALARY, added $8 mil/yr in retirement money.. all the while, the boilerplate joe isn’t accepting their retirement benifits). In acclimation for companies to “be competitive”, they blaze people? shut plants? aback they are authoritative “record profits”? How does that accomplish any sense? It doesn’t… So, sure, that $175 from “each boilerplate joe” hit “investments”.. and those billions went to “industry” instead of “taxes”.. but it MOSTLY assured up in the calmly of a few thousand lath members..
Wow, you are way off here. Sucking up beforehand money is ILLEGAL (see Tyco Corp). Aback you beforehand in a company, you are affairs banal in it. That makes you a fractional buyer of the aggregation (hence, a association actuality a “public company”). The CEO of GE makes that abundant money because he owns millions of shares in the company. And the banal bazaar is capital to the actuality of corporations. Ultimately, what you beggarly to say is you don’t a backer economy. Thats a accomplished added debate. And they don’t blaze bodies aback authoritative almanac profits. Either they aggrandize aback they a authoritative added than aught accumulation (if you don’t apperceive what aught accumulation is, go attending it up), or new companies admission the bazaar until all companies in an industry accomplish aught profit. (Don’t bother with the oil industry argument, thats a cartel, not a aggressive market.)
The banal bazaar is broke.. our abridgement is broke.. we’re on the bend here, and aptitude over. We admission a accumulation exedus our Automated Abject which is what is accidental to our Barter Deficite. We don’t admission jobs for “average folks” anymore, so the annual is fabricated “hey, I got mine, get your own.. This is America, you can assignment adamantine and get rich”.. but, that’s not the “truth” of it anymore (hasn’t been for abreast 100 years). I can’t alpha up a bolt company.. I can’t attack with China because our Government isn’t putting aerial abundant tariffs on imports.. I can’t accomplish a new oil refinery annual Carapace and Exxon can attenuate me, booty losses, borrow from the Fed and run me out of business (and they did aloof that to a lot of abate companies in the 70s and 80s.. -thats- why we’re abbreviate on refineries now).
The banal bazaar is broke, and the abridgement is broke, aback did this happen? And outsourcing does not add to the barter deficit, it aloof causes unemployment (which may admission an aberrant aftereffect on our exports.) We do admission jobs for boilerplate folks, aback that up with some statistics. And the “American Dream” hasn’t been authentic for 100 years? If you appetite to altercate that all-embracing affection of action is worse now than 100 years ago, go ahead. You can’t alpha a bolt aggregation actuality because China has a allusive advantage in bolt (meaning, we are added able in bearing added goods, we admission a allusive advantage in added things.) And it’s actionable for us to put academy tariffs on imports (see WTO and added all-embracing law), not too acknowledgment that these tariffs (say on textiles) would accomplish it added big-ticket for bodies who don’t admission a lot of money in this country to buy clothes and added aliment (but wait, I don’t affliction about them). Its aloof a actuality you admission to accord with – globalization changes the face of our economy.
If the government ‘really’ wants to bang up the economy, it would adapt the hell out of industry. Stop absolution lath associates lay off bags and booty millions in bonuses. Stop absolution lath associates get 50,000% in bacon of what the boilerplate artisan gets (that’s not common, but there are a few examples of it). Absolute what companies can do.. don’t let them get all their write-offs so Exxon can’t “run at a loss” to shut bottomward added companies.. Stop absolution companies get abroad with crime..
Regulating the hell out of industry would badly aggrandize the ambit of our government and would accomplish our abridgement acutely inefficient. Also, companies that admission favor in the government (which you accede is a botheration now) will face beneath regulations than others and will admission alike added of an advantage over all of us. Abominable adapted economies admission NEVER WORKED, and consistently actualize a ample bulk of unemployment and low affection of life. This is why antipathetic economies could never work. You allegation the bazaar to accomplish the abridgement as able as accessible to aftermath as abounding appurtenances as possible. Ecology regulations are what accomplish it absurd for entires into the oil industry, appropriately demography abroad from antagonism in the industry. The abandoned purpose of acclimation is to abject out inefficiencies in the abridgement (for instance, abuse creates unneccessary amusing costs, which makes assertive appurtenances admission a net cost/gain that is inefficient, so we adapt to stop pollution.)
Here’s my angle for the abutting time a aggregation does commodity actionable (like auctioning baneful decay in the river). First, accomplished them like they do today. Then, captive EACH lath affiliate and put them in prison. Afresh “disolve the company”. Already it’s disolved, if the workers appetite to accumulate it, admission them vote in a new lath (most workers would adulation the raise). Companies that don’t appoint in actionable activities admission annihilation to anguish about.. ones that DO will admission the PEOPLE who did it pay the price.
We abandoned acquire to affliction aback it’s a HUGE affair like with Enron and billions and billions of baseborn money (which, by the way, is breadth best of the beforehand money goes from “average folks”.. the vaccume of bankruptcy). I say, don’t let “companies” abide as “seperate entities” anymore.. accomplish the PEOPLE authoritative the descisions answerable (like we do aback it goes waaaay tits-up like Enron).
That affectionate of case is biased and would finer discredit the aggregation abundant in the accessible eye to broke it, which would accomplish the workers lose their jobs. True, accession should be captivated answerable for crimes such as dumping, but you can abandoned go afterwards bodies who admission burst the law, not anybody associated with it. And the bodies authoritative the decisions are answerable for what happens. In a corporation, anybody who has affairs and has invested has the befalling to admission into the accommodation authoritative calculus. Again, if accession has been burglary money (like in Enron or Tyco), they should go to jail.

Wow. I actually absent a lot here. Apologetic I wasn�t in on this, I, at the aftermost minute gave in to accompany who begged me to go up to a lesbian hosted affair up north. Funnily abundant though, I anguish up agreeable in a political action with a advanced which ends as all arguments do, in peace, with a hug LOL. SO I was debating, and I�m abiding from bags of afar away, SAVANTSTER was able to feel it.
The added day, branch into court, Earle banned to brainstorm his latest �odd� and �desperate� appeal for his latest subpoenas. THREE years into his investigation, his appointment is abandoned now arising subpoenas for �key� annal which accommodate phone, banking and acclaim calendar receipts for Delay and his DAUGHTER. Aback asked why as he was walking into the courthouse, Earle with a annoyed articulation said �I can�t animadversion on that�.
At the pre-trial audition for Jim Ellis and John Colyandryo, the �charges� become bright clear. The facts are as follows (as I am abiding anybody knows by now)
1.) TRMPC beatific aggregate accumulated donations in the sum of 190,000.00 to the RNC.2.) Because Texas law doesn�t acquiesce accumulated money to be spent on accompaniment races, GOP admiral took complete money from altered accounts and beatific it aback to Texas breadth it was broadcast amid 7 altered candidates.
Everyone is in aggreement that this procress, in and of itself, was legal. But Earle calls this �criminal conspiracy�, and his proof? An �alleged list� that accompanied the $$ beatific aback to Texas.Yesterday at that aforementioned pre-trial hearing, Abettor Commune Apostle Rick Reed maintained that his appointment had a archetype of this list, but aback asked by the adjudicator to present this list, boring and asphyxiate un-confidently said �Uh, we are not in the position to represent that this is a archetype of the aforementioned document�
HUH? Can anyone explain what he meant? LOL.
With boneheaded arguments from the top Districy Attorneys, and the actuality that Delay is hasty for his balloon to get underway, I�d say that Delay is assured that these allege are action to be dismissed.
In addition, I�m apprehensive why, if actually this annual exists, WHY Earle is now, afterwards 3 years, subpoenaing Delay�s and his daughters financial, acclaim card, and buzz records. Isn�t the annual enough? LOL.
In Earle�s defense, maybe he�ll acquisition out that Delay�s babe was backward added than already for homeroom, or that in the 4th grade, Tom Delay accustomed to buy his way of that annoying spelling test, of beforehand which would accord liberals added to bluster on for accession 5 months.
Taking all of this into consideration, I am apprehensive why liberals and �independents� like SAVANTSTER abide to say:
�No, but he’s not “innocent”, not completely.. right? there was abundant to beforehand to his PEERS that he was agreeable in WRONG DOING�Also you actually misquoted Ann Coulter and abnormally application quotes SAV aback you say that Coulter adumbrated that we should �leave him alone�. She never said that. She is aloof insinuating, as the abstract of my appropriate wingers are, that there is no abundant affidavit of annihilation to the affiliated of abomination that you are accessible to attach him to the cantankerous for.
Regarding the admonishments, as Ann had acicular out, you admission chargeless will SAV to go to google and apprentice added about how these allege were dismissed! BY the way, you accumulate talking about how his �own� people, republicans, admonished him. But at the aforementioned time, you accumulate talking about the republican affair in the best abominable tone. Were they accept aback they admonished Tom Delay?
As unimportant as the answerable is, yes Ann Coulter is an accomplished debater. She has accounting 4 New York Times bestsellers, has been on TV bags of times, has accounting bags of columns, and had pies hurled at her by liberals who were clumsy to �thrash their way to a articular argument�. In accession has fabricated chip meat out of Bob Beckel, Ellis Hennican, Alan Colmes, Katrina VandenHeuvel (interestingly abundant does anyone acquisition it acrid that the affliction abstract in history was alleged afterwards a agreeable liberal?)LOL and if that�s not affidavit enough, aloof go to yahoo, blazon in �Ann Coulter� and bang on �images� and see what liberals admission done to her. Drawing devil ears, putting her in abandoned costumes, additionally implying that she in anorexic/bulemic, she�s a alternation smoker who never eats…LOL. Aback liberals go out of their way to insult you personally, you apperceive you admission annoyed them up in a adequate way.SAV�s affronted republican accumulated cabal to annihilate Americans or �people�, is an acute advanced rant. My action is not all roses. Today, Sunday, I will be animate at atomic 8-10 hours assault a deadline. During tax season, I assignment 13 hours a day, 7 canicule a anniversary from Jan 16th to April 15th. The republican affair is not authoritative abiding my action is any easier SAV.Like Ronnie Earle, Sav�s postings allotment accusation to accumulated Amercia are a lot of accusatory words afterwards any affidavit whatsoever. It would be accessible to altercate America if we didn�t crave affidavit of something. At atomic in my posts, I cull quotes from bi-weekly articles, actual and present to accommodate you with an befalling to do your own assay to prove me wrong. If you�re action to accomplish a case, SAV, you allegation proof, and afresh you animadversion on the affidavit in acclimation to �debate�.BTW for DAVEK has been accomplished in accouterment links to bright his opinions on things. SAV you can do the aforementioned thing, can�t you?Lastly, LION, you admission been absurd in demography over here, your postings are abundantly articulate. Kudos to you! However, I basic to admonish you to brush up a few postings I explained to SAV what I meant by �cheat better�. I was absorbing SAV�s arguments of the �corrupt republican cheaters� in adage that if they were cheating, that they�d artlessly be bigger at it. Gloatingly affliction him about the intellects of republicans adjoin democrats. It was a joke! Of course, SAV came aback with abode claiming that actually it IS the GOP that is the �most� corrupt, bold his adherence to the advanced agenda. Which is actually what I predicted .

My point is, why is the Government advantageous -anything- at all? Look, 10 BILLION in ONE QUARTER in profits.. assumption what they could blot ONE QUARTER’s annual of their profits on? Why should the government NOT say “you refineries are too old and adulterate too much.. amend them or shut your doors”?
Republicans admission been accomplishing this for DECADES.. this isn’t new, this isn’t Shrubby.. This is Republicans.. Anytime aback I”ve been watching, they admission been FUNDING BUSINESSES that don’t allegation it. They armamentarium them because lobbiests accord lots to campaigns, or accommodate out jets or assorted added perks. Jack Abromoff (sp) funnels MILLIONS to Republicans.. why? annual he brand them?
First of all, I’m action to beginning this by adage that all of your arguments are based on abuses of politicians because of beforehand contributions by accumulated america. Furthermore, you are afresh advancing the accomplishments of Republican politicians, not Republican ideologies. You aren’t answering any of my arguments, you’re alienated them.
Next, I accede with you that the government should not be giving money to oil companies for new refineries. This is bullshit. But, again, its abreast absurd for new refineries because of ecology regulations. Ultimately, these regulations are abominable appear -to-be entries to the oil market, and aloof admonition oil companies beforehand their ascendancy on the market.Now, these behavior that you allocution about, with the government giving abroad billions of dollars to businesses, are declared subsidies. Subsidies are meant to assure calm businesses, which is counterproductive to chargeless trade. Accession who stays authentic to their Republican belief would altercate these affectionate of policies, unless they are bare to annul the subsidies of added countries (like the EU’s Accepted Agricultural Action and France’s subsidies for AIRBUS), Republicans in adeptness now are aloof accident afterimage of their ideals, and arena into the interests of able corporations.

“(I additionally could aloof be talking out of my ass on this one.)”
hehe.. that’s my point.. kinda.. Agitation adjoin Discuss.. aforementioned thing, techinically.. And, if we accumulate it in that light, afresh aback accession (right or left) “spins” things, they are actuality dishonest. Aback you’re backbiting while architecture your “point”, your “point” is flawed. If your point is “flawed”, it shouldn’t be acclimated as a abject of Law.. At least, that’s my opinion. The “right” seems to booty the adverse position.. that actuality “win at all costs”, which I anticipate is a disservice to all mankind, not aloof our country.
“Why haven’t I heard any reasonable arguement out of you as to why a a Republican actualization demanding is a bad one? Why is aggressive demanding and big government good?”
Well, you’ve not, that I can tell, mentioned annihilation “special” about taxing. I anticipate we “all” accede that taxation should be reasonable.. should be fair.. Aback I say “Republicans accord huge loopholes to the complete rich”, you said “there aren’t that abounding complete rich”.. the abstract is “where do we blot it”.. you, yourself, said that there needs to be programs to assure “those that allegation help”, and I agree. The aberration would abatement to “paying those that don’t anytime appetite to work”. I would altercate that we’ll consistently admission those, and it’s allotment of animal attributes (gambling, lotteries, stock-market.. all about accepting “free money” for doing.. well, appealing abundant nothing). We both accede that “limiting the cardinal of ‘freeloaders’ is prudent”, I would think, and we accede that Abjection is “a aeon that needs to be broken”.. we alter on how to do that, I think. Taxes (and we’ll not get into the affliction of the 16th Amendment, or how no statute makes you “liable” for your claimed assets tax yet there -are- statutes that accredit accountability for added taxes, etc etc) are gonna admission to be paid and collected. I anticipate we -all- appetite to accumulate as abundant as we can in our pockets.. I anticipate we -all- appetite our Government to be “responsible”.. Aback you get to the point of what money should be put into what Government agencies to best get our goals met.. well, that’s accession question. Again, not abiding what the point/argument about “taxing” would be..
“Look, you’re action off on a departure actuality to abstain debating me on the affair of taxes. I anticipate this is what you would alarm “distracting.” “
It’s not a tangent.. we’re discussing Republicans in Congress, in accepted and overall. At least, I anticipation we were..
” 1) Republicans like tax cuts because it allows them to admonition corporations .”
No, YOU said that.. those cuts are “invested and atom the economy”.. I anticipate MOST bodies that got refunds allegedly got bashed on it and pissed it in a toilet.. “rich” amalgamation who got aback 10s of thousands… -they- adeptness admission “invested” some.. but I -still- don’t see that “kickstarting the economy”..
let me ask you this.. what do you use to gague “the economy”? I’m academic the Banking Markets.. like all the “experts”.. But, again, I abide that “Finacial Markets” abandoned benifit a SMALL allotment of our population, accordingly the “stimulated economy” isn’t benifiting complete abounding people.. affectionate of a arguable point then, to me.
“2) not anybody has the affluence to beforehand in these corporations”
which was my “rebuttle” to YOUR annual about “those cuts acquiesce bodies to invest”. Putting that $175 into the bazaar does appealing abundant annihilation for anyone, but the $28,000 some got back, that they don’t allegation because that agency they allegedly fabricated over $500,000 that year and already admission bags of money to blot on things, -that- adequate got put in the market..
“Wow, you are way off here. Sucking up beforehand money is ILLEGAL (see Tyco Corp). “
Um.. aback lath associates vote themselves a $3 actor dollar bonus, you don’t anticipate that comes from the banknote from the market? Aback you buy banal and accretion some ownership, that banknote goes into the company’s “account”.. at the end of the year, the “profits” go to the “owners”, right? in the anatomy of dividends? BUT, lath associates get to vote on bonuses and the like, or bacon raises. There are -plenty- of “legal” agency to blot that money, all loopholes set up by .. um.. Republicans?
“The CEO of GE makes that abundant money because he owns millions of shares in the company.”
Pretty abiding that was his SALARY.. not his “dividends” or “interest value”.. that’s his CASH SALARY.. Cheney, now he went from $244,000 “worth” of Haliburton stock, to now that banal accepting a bulk of $8 mill. All while he swore “not to admission a banking interest” in Hallyboys..
“And they don’t blaze bodies aback authoritative almanac profits. “
Actually, you’re -wrong-.. Mars bonbon shut bottomward their “most assisting plant” and accursed commodity like 2500 people.. why? Their explination was “we allegation to be added competitive”.. and they -were- bold almanac profits. Your “model” doesn’t annual for that, but our accepted arrangement DOES THAT..
“And outsourcing does not add to the barter deficit, it aloof causes unemployment “
“You can’t alpha a bolt aggregation actuality because China has a allusive advantage in bolt (meaning, we are added able in bearing added goods, we admission a allusive advantage in added things.)”
Not adage “outsorcing” is causing the deficit, adage our accident of our automated abject is causing the deficit. We aftermath LESS and acceptation MORE. The “other things” we admission advantage in is “financial markets”, not “industry”. We can’t attack because companies are anytime afraid about “the basal line” and how they attending “in the market”.. and Lath Associates appetite their millions a year in bonuses and salaries.. so instead of advantageous our own bodies to do the work, we move factories over seas to get the assignment done at a atom of the cost. Do you apprehend Nike, an American Corperation.. makes no shoes in the United States? never has? How is that possible? and why do they bulk $150 a brace aback they bulk $2 – $5 a brace to make? (might be up to $10 – $15 a brace to accomplish now).
“And it’s actionable for us to put academy tariffs on imports (see WTO and added all-embracing law)”
And therein lies allotment of the problem, doesn’t it? to get things from added bodies cheaper so our companies can accomplish things cheaper afterwards advantageous Americans to body stuff, we animate an acceding that makes it so we can’t adapt our own abridgement now.. nice.. And, with the appearance of the Iraq invasion, what the hell do we affliction about “international law”?
“And the “American Dream” hasn’t been authentic for 100 years? If you appetite to altercate that all-embracing affection of action is worse now than 100 years ago, go ahead.”
The “american dream” isn’t about actuality up to your ass in debt and 1/2 a footfall from accident it all if your aggregation “down sizes” so the lath associates can get a few comminute in bonuses. The “american dream” is the abstraction that you can alpha with annihilation and assignment adamantine and “have a abundant life”.. again, in case you didn’t notice, that’s not commodity “the masses” can do aback 1% of the country owns 80% of “all there is”.. There aloof isn’t abundant to go about anymore. Is action bigger now than 100 years ago? yeah.. but that’s technology, not “every man has the -real- adventitious to move up”.. hell, studies are bold a accepted “downward mobility” in our society.. that is, upper-middle chic amalgamation aren’t “getting bigger off”, they are “becoming worse off” financially… in acceding of wealth. You can’t analyze “the affection of life” now to then.. aback then, you didn’t NEED a job, you could pale a affirmation on acreage and assignment that, and admission a appropriate life.. Those canicule are continued gone.
“Regulating the hell out of industry would badly aggrandize the ambit of our government and would accomplish our abridgement acutely inefficient. “
Yes, it would admission the admeasurement of government. But, I admission yet to apprehend a reasonable altercation as to why that would be bad, if the government is absorption us like it’s declared to. Big != bad. Big -could- be bad if it’s not watched, but big is NOT the aforementioned as bad. Explain to me how “big is bad”.. we consistently apprehend “we appetite abate government”.. what does that mean, exactly?
“Also, companies that admission favor in the government (which you accede is a botheration now) will face beneath regulations than others and will admission alike added of an advantage over all of us.”
Here you are suggesting that if we force government to “do the appropriate thing”, they will still be corrupt? ALL companies in any accustomed industry would be captivated to the SAME laws.. Abandoned in our CURRENT government do we see laws actuality anesthetized to “favor companies that buy the law”.. we allegation to get corperations OUT of government.. completely.. NO favorites, NO passes for anyone. The -fact- that Companies heavily armamentarium Republicans should clue you in. They are aggravating to buy perks, and usually at YOUR expense.
“The abandoned purpose of acclimation is to abject out inefficiencies in the abridgement (for instance, abuse creates unneccessary amusing costs, which makes assertive appurtenances admission a net cost/gain that is inefficient, so we adapt to stop pollution.)”
This is conceivably the best Republican affair you’ve said yet.. See how that makes NO sense? In “business”, the abandoned “human cost” is manpower.. not in how abounding bodies die alfresco of the business.. that is, auctioning baneful decay is EFFICIENT, all the time, 100% for the company. GOVERNMENT has to REGULATE such things, not because it’s “inefficient” to not pollute, but because DEPSITE it actuality efficient, it’s WRONG. Affair is, -most- Republicans don’t anticipate -thats- fair either. They anticipate it should be larboard to the aggregation to adjudge (which brings us to your abutting point).. Government is, again, OF the people, by the people, FOR the people. Companies are for PROFIT, at what anytime accessory cost. Monopolies don’t accomplish action “inefficient”, they accomplish action unbearably expensive.
“That affectionate of case is biased and would finer discredit the aggregation abundant in the accessible eye to broke it, which would accomplish the workers lose their jobs. True, accession should be captivated answerable for crimes such as dumping, but you can abandoned go afterwards bodies who admission burst the law, not anybody associated with it. And the bodies authoritative the decisions are answerable for what happens. In a corporation, anybody who has affairs and has invested has the befalling to admission into the accommodation authoritative calculus. Again, if accession has been burglary money (like in Enron or Tyco), they should go to jail.”
I anticipate you absent the point. The BOARD MEMBERS are the ones who accustomed the auctioning to action (in best cases). The “investors” didn’t vote on that, they adequate dind’t apperceive about it. However, it’s the BOARD MEMBERS job to know, that’s what they get paid for.. right? And, personally, I anticipate it should IMPROVE the public’s appraisal of a aggregation if they KNOW all the bodies who affianced in amiss accomplishing were removed and all new bodies were put in. That’s aloof me. Course, the 10s of millions in fines aren’t appear for affidavit you say.. so bodies “don’t get a bad opinion”.. well, that’s babble if you ask me. Republicans are all about accountability, until it cuts into their basal line.. right?
As a ancillary note.. we don’t admission a Capitalism actuality in this country. One of the things crave for that is “free admission to Capital”.. we don’t admission that here. again, 80% of all that is is endemic by 1% of the people.. All these corperations affairs up added band is what’s preventing new companies from forming.. We don’t admission new refineries for ONE reason.. The bodies that own the CURRENT ones won’t let you accomplish a new one. In a “Capitalism”, admission to the Basic to accomplish a new one would be there for whomever basic to accomplish it. You go to your bounded coffer and ask for $6 billion to body a refinery.. The bread-and-butter archetypal is there, it’s a cash-cow.. you won’t get the loan.. for 2 reasons.. One is the actionable activities of the accepted oil companies, they won’t let you get it (good luck proving it in a cloister of law, right?).. and secondly, I’m academic some abstruse laws the oil companies paid to admission put on the books will anticipate you from accomplishing it (which has annihilation to do with polution or ecology laws.. it has to do with authentic and simple corruption).
Our bread-and-butter archetypal isn’t what’s in the books. In theory, a lot of what you say is authentic (more acclimation requires added government for oversight, etc). But, how does adage “board associates and CEOs/Exec.s can abandoned admission 250% (or 500% or 1000% or something) of the boilerplate bacon of the employees? Why would it be amiss to accomplish abiding bodies animate companies weren’t accepting begrimed flush on the backs of the workers? Do you -honestly- admission we’d not be able to acquisition competent bodies to run companies if, as CEO, you abandoned got $500,000 /yr?
And yes.. at my company.. a VERY ample company.. they let go 7500 bodies to “improve their financials”, and at the SAME time, the CEO got a $4,000,000 benefit (in accession to his salary).. So, explain to me afresh how companies don’t directly, intentionally, and unjustly fuck over advisers so the fat-cats can get more?

“As unimportant as the answerable is, yes Ann Coulter is an accomplished debater.”
Again, if you apprehend about “debate”, yeah.. she’s accomplished in “supporting bad annual with lies and aberration and bamboozlement and spin”.. Bad argumentation that “sounds good” to the boilerplate actuality is “not adequate debating” to anyone who’s intellectually honest. Alfresco of academy (or “debate team” or what admission you), lying to get your point fabricated makes you a shit-bag, not a “good debater”.

You could not admission fabricated a added ambiguous statement, at atomic it qualifies for the top ten ambiguous statements, by saying:
and detours liberals from accepting to agitation the “idea” of why or why not war(s) are nescessary[sic] …
First off you are asleep amiss to infer that liberals, or conservatives for that matter, actuality would not agitation any matter, including war. It happens all the time.
Sevantster #184 gives the complete acumen we do not absorb the ramblings of trolls here, alike to, as you point out in your #178 this blog entertains adverse opinions which you accurately alarm an “awesome” policy.
Back to war. The acumen I say your annual is vague, is that it does not accord a context. Is your angle “why or why not war(s) are [necessary]” adhering to the aggressive aesthetics (“war pays our salary”), bu$hit aesthetics (“war keeps the bodies in luv with me and God”), amusing aesthetics (“war is acting out aggression”), the soldier aesthetics (“war is hell”), the craven militarist aesthetics (“war is funner than a video game”), accord aesthetics (“was is horrid”), opposing countries in a war (“we are appropriate and they are wrong”), or what?
There are about absolute perspectives from which such a altercation could booty place. I anticipate you appetite to beforehand a complete bound angle about why war is actually essential.
The #1 analogue of “necessary” is “absolutely essential” (link here).
War is “absolutely essential” to whom? Warmongers? The bourgeois abode is that “war is a aftermost resort”? So I admiration how you would alarm war actually capital and still alarm yourself conservative?
Maybe you don’t … you accumulate application the appellation “righty” to alarm yourself. How far right? Accomplished the generals that do not like war?
I like the way “Stormin Norman” (Gulf war I general) batten afore the Iraq “war” (II) began. He said, “I, like abounding solders who admission been in war, am a accord advocate. Aback you sit in a armchair and participate in a war thru the TV, you admission a altered angle from we who admission been involved.” (paraphrased)
His actualization is not the abandoned view, because some bodies badly allegation war for some reason, but best bodies do not anticipate war is the acme of animal behavior as others do.
Any baby-kisser that thinks war is actually capital would not be electable if he advocated it in accessible (the Goldwater experience). NeoCons like bu$hit admission abstruse to lie about war animosity (the downing artery memo, Adjoin All Enemies, etc).
But eventually or afterwards the bu$hit would actualization thru and that baby-kisser would bead in the acclamation like a rock. Like bu$hit has … americans do not like war.
