Hillary is the Bill Bellichick of politics:
GRINNELL, Iowa (CNN) — The college student who says she was told what question to ask at one of Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign events told CNN Monday that she wasn't the only one at the event who was a plant and said "voters have the right to know what really happened." In an exclusive interview with CNN, Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, a 19-year-old sophomore at Grinnell College in Iowa — whose story in her campus newspaper has now been widely circulated — said that giving anyone specific questions to ask is "dishonest," and the whole incident has given her a negative outlook on politics.
Democrats don't win like Bellichick does however:
Democrats zero for 40 on Iraq
As the congressional session lurches toward a close, Democrats are confronting some demoralizing arithmetic on Iraq. The numbers tell a story of political and substantive paralysis more starkly than most members are willing to acknowledge publicly, or perhaps even to themselves.
Since taking the majority, they have forced 40 votes on bills limiting President Bush’s war policy.
Only one of those has passed both chambers, even though both are run by Democrats. That one was vetoed by Bush.
Indeed, the only war legislation enacted during this Congress has been to give the president exactly what he wants, and exactly what he has had for the past five years: more money, with no limitations.
That's what they were put there to do, stop ChimpHitler.
U. N.:
Worldeater Bush:
Man Caused Climate Change Deniers are "criminally irresponsible":
VALENCIA, Spain - The U.N.'s top climate official warned policymakers and scientists trying to hammer out a landmark report on climate change that ignoring the urgency of global warming would be "criminally irresponsible." Yvo de Boer's comments came at the opening of a weeklong conference that will complete a concise guide on the state of global warming and what can be done to stop the Earth from overheating. It is the fourth and last report issued this year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, co-winner of this year's Nobel Peace prize.
Who didn't sign Kyoto??
Beer drinkers the world over are reaping the harvest of Bush's"criminal irresponsibility":
August 3, 2006—From rising sea levels to stifling heat waves, the effects of global warming are shaping up to be a worldwide buzz kill. But brewers in Greenland seem to be going with the flow, having found a new use for one of their homeland's fastest growing—but least celebrated—natural resources: melted Arctic ice. On July 31 a team of canny entrepreneurs unveiled Greenland Beer, an ale brewed with water melted from Greenland's ice cap, at a public tasting in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Defining Torture Down or Up or whatever:
Great piece about "Torture":
Torture" is one of many current topics of significance that have been abandoned to the left. Leftist commentators have been allowed to set the terms, make the definitions, and generally run the argument without much in the way of serious opposition or debate.
Sounds frighteningly like the global warming debate, the war debate, the debate on taxes, border security, gun control, health care, religion, botany, food poisoning, popcorn lung....
No small number of elements of the War on Terror have suffered the same treatment. An offhand list would include profiling, wiretapping, border security, and rendition. All have been hijacked and turned into battering rams to support a particular left-wing interpretation of the War on Terror. The GOP has been unable to respond for a number of reasons: they've been blindsided, have been busy fending off corruption investigations, or simply couldn't or wouldn't defend certain obvious positions. As a result, the left has been able to peddle its version of events with near impunity."Torture" is probably the most egregious of these cases. That's the explanation for the sneer quotes. Because, quite simply, in much of the debate over "torture", we're not talking about actual torture at all. We're talking about rough treatment, harshness, or coercion. Guys! Keep a firm grip on the Irish Spring! It's time for "The Weekly Bob":
Criminal Irresponsibility:
Al must have left this out of his power point presentation in his Oscar, Emmy , Grammy, Miss America Pageant winning sapfest slideshow An Inconvenient Truth... oh how convenient!!
As goes Europe...
Here's some good news:
Climate scepticism has now gained a firm foothold in various European countries.
In Denmark Bjørn Lomborg stands out as the single most important sceptical environmentalist, defying the political correctness which is such a characteristic feature of his home country, as well as other Nordic countries. But wait! Bjørn Lomborg is not a genuine climate sceptic. Real climate sceptics admire his courage, his scientific rigour and debating skills, but beg to disagree with him on the fundamentals of climate science. Lomborg acknowledges that there is such a thing as man-made global warming, which is quite in line with the mantra of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). He 'only' challenges the cost benefit relationships of the policy measures, which have been proposed to do something about it. Massive expenditures (often euphemistically called 'investments') in exchange for undetectable returns. Real climate sceptics do not accept the man-made global warming hypothesis. They are of the opinion that the human contribution to global warming over the last century or so is at most insignificant. But, of course, they are happy with the arguments advanced by Bjørn Lomborg to bolster their case against climate hysteria.

Nice post!! You're right! There's not a nickle's worth of difference between Democrats and Republicans!!! They gave Bush more spying power over US Citizens, They didn't restore the constitution!! but voted not to restore Haveus Corpus or Posse commitatus!!! They voted exactly the way Bush would have told them to!!! I'm angry at both parties!!! and can't vote for either!

Concerning this young lady in Iowa:
It's probably politics as usual, a tactic used by most of the candidates, although I doubt that an old pro like McCain needs such props to talk wisely and passionately about the issues. This young lady does give me hope concerning our College students who will be voting in the next elections. She is smart enough to reflect and realize she has been manipulated. If about ten million more can do likewise, perhaps someone other than Clinton will be elected.

That sort of thinking guarantees victory for Democrats. While I have a few gripes with Republicans, I think you're missing the point of some of my sarcasm. I love the fact that Bush ignored Kyoto. I want people who contact people on terror watchlists to have their phone tapped I want terrorist suspects waterboarded, waterboarding has only been used thricely in 5 years and one of the detainees who was waterboarded was Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11. As far as I'm concerned, waterboarding is too good for the likes of him, he should have hot nails jammed up his ass for 100 years.Thanks for posting.
