that's pretty much all that you post.......labels and other misrepresentations of the left. So why are you surprised when I post back in kind? You perceive that because you either pretend to be ignorant of any facts that are not spinning wildly to the left, or you honestly cannot perceive the same. you chose to interpret what I said in that fashion. As would you if I had done the same. some people are reacting to incidents such as the killing of the wounded and dying Iraqi much the same way that the Petersons reacted to the charge that their son killed his wife. They insisted and continue to insist that he could not be guilty in spite of evidence to the contrary. But Ted, you voted for a candidate who admitted to doing the worst that is alleged of this your man. Perhaps the Marine should be the Democrat candidate for President, and then all would be well. For me, ethics and morality are not a part time thing....or just for this country. And I don't give a damn what the Iraqis or anyone else does.........I believe we should be held to a higher standard. Your statements have given me an impression that is not easily reconciled with the fist part of that statement. We should be, as should all first world people, held to a higher standard. That means when the Administrator of the UN Oil for Terrorism scandal is on the take, it is a bad thing. It means when France, Germany, Russia, and China form the coalition of the coerced and the bribed, it is disgraceful. aina.org You'll have to explain that one to me. Which part? That's one test........and if I remember correctly, their scores were equivalent. In any case, do you evaluate a person's intellect based on one report? I don't....I base it a number of interactions and the person's behavior in a variety of scenarios. Equivalent does not reconcile with Intellectually, Kerry ... could run circles around Mr. Bush. If your are smarter than me, does it follow that I could intellectually run circles around you? You might be able to say they are essentially the same, but not that Kerry is smarter than the President. Spin debunked! The FMSM represents all Democrats as geniuses and all Republicans as morons. IMO non-critical thinkers are easily swayed by those representations. The exception to the treatment of Republicans in the Democrat press of course are the RINOs; they are described as "maverick, uncommonly wise, street fighter, populist, independent, a bright spot in the party, showing great leadership, etc.". Think McCain, Whitman, Packwood before Clinton was elected, Arlan Spector, William Weld, Olympia Snowe etc. the truth? We've been in short supply on that one lately. Tell me what truth am I missing. No, because I don't think the party is in decline. It is. It has been taken over by the most extreme liberal elements. The dirty dozen Kerry supporters are not more honest than the several hundred veterans who criticized the twelve week Navy officer. Kerry received a less than honorable discharge. The less than honorable discharge why his discharge status was changed twice later. The market prefers Republicans: bigcharts.marketwatch.com Notice how much it has increased since August when it started to clarify that President Bush would be reelected President. Notice the fall and flatness during October when Kerry looked to have a chance. Notice the quick recovery once President Bush started to poll well. bigcharts.marketwatch.com The post election effect is even clearer in the Dow. bigcharts.marketwatch.com Notice how it surged after President Bush was elected the first time. The time between was controlled by economic factors, many of which related to the previous administration and 9/11. bigcharts.marketwatch.com The pre-election fear that Gore might be elected is really evident in the Dow. The Democrats are guilty of attempting to fool the public every day. The Partisan Liberal FMSM alternate between willing accomplice and leading the way. And the above statement is not partisanship? The first sentence was response to a similar accusation you made about Republicans. The Second statement is simply the truth. The FMSM is way out in left field, and they play by a set of rules that would not pass muster for ethics in even a partisan court. Dan Rather appears to have published forged documents because he wanted so desperately for them to be true that he could not accept the overwhelming evidence that they were not true. This is how a con works. Are you being conned every day by the FMSM? IMO the answer appears to be yes. And the above statement is not partisanship? What do you call the billions of dollars of pork passed on by the GOP during the past 4 years? What do you call a $250 million bridge promoted by an Alaskan GOP senator that goes to an island of 14 people? The list goes on and on. You don't think that's fooling the American public and playing Santa Claus with their money? Before you criticize the Dems, I suggest you clean up your own house. And a 16 billion dollar leaky tube under Boston Harbor is a national public good? Pork is always bad! I disdain it. It appears to be an effective way to buy votes. If Americans did not think they could get something for nothing, it would not work. The solution to that is to ensure every American pays some income tax, not just the 51% that do now. Yes, actually writing a check out to the IRS. Without a stake in the cost, people think of it as free money. And those who pay big chunks think it belongs to them, and are jsut as greedy. Let's just agree that Pork Barrel politics is a bad idea whether it is practiced by Democrats or Republicans. Do you think we can do that? You are obviously intelligent. If you were not, you would not have the opportunity to deal with my obnoxious point by point reactions. ;-) BTW - it is now over 210,000 signatures that want the Marine to be judged fairly rather than hung out to dry.
