Clever. Way off base factually, but rather funny.  |
I believe there is more truth to it then we will ever be told.
Do you really believe all the reasons for attacking Iraq have
been laid out to the American people?
ws |
Well, I'd like to know where your proof, laid out in writing, is that will tell me George W. Bush's connection(s) to the big business corruption with which you keep flailing your arms at. So far, I have yet to see it.

I keep flailing my arms at what? apparently you have a way of
seeing things that aren?t there, I suggest you get help for it.
Any one the can?t see that oil in the middle east is a major
interest for the US needs to get a clue. We?re not over there
for the sand. 
ws |
No, we're not there for the sand. We're there to protect ourselves from the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein and his regime are developing. Anyone that can't see that needs to get a clue. We're not overe there for the oil.
Robert |
rag, you need to stop watching fox news and get out of the
house more

I'm sure that the U.S. can just walk in and start pumping away then? Sounds like someone has forgotten just what happened to Kuwait when Saddam withdrew. De you really believe that Saddam will actually leave a single oil well intact if attacked? PLEASE. One thing any attack on Iraq will lead to is not any sort of cheap access to oil any time soon. Considering the size of Kuwait and the size of Iraq alone I would think that the resulting cleanup if Saddam thinks he's really going to lose will be far greater. If it really was about the oil as some want to believe it would be far cheaper and easier to bribe Saddam. We may not be being told everything but the oil issue is something of a joke in my opinion. Compred to the other reasons to invade it doesn't really matter at all. In fact I would think it would be quite a bit easier and cheaper to setup something in international waters and just drill sideways a few hundred miles and just sneak all of his oil out from under him than it would be to invade, remove Saddam and clean up another one of his 'destroy all oil wells' routines. Personally I suspect that he has already wired every single oil well and pumping station in Iraq to be blown at the touch of a button.
I'm sorry but compared to the possibility of him acquiring nuclear material and handing it off to terrorists the whole oil argument is pretty weak. |

Actually, I get most of my news from CNN or CNN Headline News. It's only when I need to have some humor in my news that I tune into Fox.
I don't pride myself on TV alone, though. I routinely go out to many internet news sources which I have deemed fairly reliable. I also visit the official White House website.

This is my most 'entertaining' web site for political commentary
http://www.filibustercartoons.com/
I only wish he had been around during the clinton years. JJ seems to be truly bi-partisan (multi-partisan?) in that he pokes fun at everybody. |

Try not to have any heart attacks, my conservative friends, but I actually developed a bit of respect for Rosie after she basically apologized for her past hateful comments about conservatives, Republicans, and gun owners on an episode of The O'Rilelly Factor one day.
I don't know what she's said lately, but I thought it was big of her, and it meant a lot to me. |

| Maybe you should reexamine your political affiliations, Eric... I don't know if a conservative who knows how to forgive will be accepted by all the others... |

Fasten your seat belt. I'm starting to like Rosie, too.
Just a little.

O'DONNELL: ...September 11 changed a lot of things for me, Bill. I will say this, before September 11, I was definitely mildly myopic in terms of my political agenda. If you were Democrat you were probably right, and if you were a Republican you were probably wrong. Everything changed for me that day.
O'REILLY: Really?
O'DONNELL: My entire worldview changed. If you would have told me September 9 that I would have been at the world series game filming George Bush throwing out the first pitch with my 6-year-old son crying, I never would have believed you, but I was. Because my whole worldview changed.
I also happen to agree with her - mostly - on gay adoption. I sill think that the traditional heterosexual 2-parent family is the ideal, but it is far, far better for a child to have a good parent, even a single adopive parent (like I am), or a gay couple, or even a single gay parent, than to be stuck in the foster care system.
Hell, it was the gay people who stepped up to the plate and gave homes & families to "unadoptable", terminally-ill children with AIDS. |

Hmmmm..
Sounds like I just might have to re-think my views on Rosie. I stopped paying any sort of attention to her to the point where I would automatically change the channel if I saw her. I never cared for her bs views on guns, basically noone should have them except her bodyguards? I don't think so.
As for her sexual orientation that's not something I ever cared one way or the other on, before I couldn't stand the sight of her I thought her crush on Tom Cruise shile being a lesbian was cute but complete indifference otherwise. As far as her eligibilty as a parent it seems to me that she's doing a better job than the genetic parents of her kids so she's got that going for her in my book.
Otherwise I needed one more post and this was it for 100 woohoo! hahaha. |

I don't trust Rosie as far as I could roll, I mean throw, her. I'll give her a chance, though, next time hell freeze...uhm...when she's on the O'Reilly Factor.
