You are right about the 12 year-old part. A bigger problem is we have a similar intellectual midget sitting in the WH and sending our troops to die so his delusions don't go away.

Kerry's policies are right on the money. And that's proven now. You are in deep-deep denial and delusion. It's really a mental illness. Thank God two thirds of the country disagree with you people now. Just keep digging your hole, man, but you're a damn fool not to wake up and climb out. The entire Bush-Cheney dream was a sick fantasy, a big fat lie. They're basically political criminals and radicals out to rip off and destroy the Good Ship USA. Theri attacks on the Constitution are particularly reugnant and un-American. Their lust for war is sickening. And their incompetence is alarming.

"Everything he said was wrong. " Really? Including the details about his father's military service, his own military service, and his son's military service? You may not like his POV, but he most certainly said some things that were "right". I thought his point about the duty our soldiers owe to the military and the country, being matched by a duty of leaders to exercise care in playing with their lives, was an excellent point. But apparently you don't, since "Everything he said was wrong." "Like so many other Americans, today and throughout our history, we serve and have served, not for political reasons, but because we love our country. On the political issues -- those matters of war and peace, and in some cases of life and death -- we trusted the judgment of our national leaders. We hoped that they would be right, that they would measure with accuracy the value of our lives against the enormity of the national interest that might call upon us to go into harm's way." Seems spot on. "The war's costs to our nation have been staggering. Financially." Yup that's right too. "The majority of the nation no longer supports the way this war is being fought; nor does the majority of our military." also correct You can disagree, I suppose, about Mr. Bush being reckless getting us in to Iraq- though it's harder and harder to argue he didn't disregard everything that contradicted his already formed POV. But many of Webb's points are fairly unassailable. A majority really does not support this war any longer. I imagine politicians who ignore that will be close to dead meat in 2008- which explains the republicans sprinting away from Bush's "new plan" for Iraq. I'll return you to playing with your monkey now.

Two days after the State of the Union, your hero Dumbyasshole has "achieved" his goal - which is to get more US troops killed in Jan 2007 (64 so far), than in Jan 2006 (62). He has achieved this by providing 20,500 more Bulls-Eyes to the Iraqi resistance fighters. Can we say, "Congratulations!" ;-)

Cheney is guilty of treason. The White House communications woman today was the third to testify that Libby and Cheney were leaking the ID of covert CIA agent Plame a month before the reporters got involved in response to Joe Wilson telling the truth about the phony Yellowcake in Niger story Bush used in his State Of The Union address in order to try and scare Americans into accepting his fraudulent and disasterous war. WHo the hell cares what Lynne Cheney says? She's trying to save her A-hole husband from going to prison where he belongs. Rove is also guilty. I hope to God these creeps finally get what they deserve. They are a plague on this country.

Kerry would make a great president. His thoughtfulness and gravity are exactly what we need in the world now to figure out the problems we face. In 2004 Kerry was cheated out of the presidency in Ohio and with the smearvets phony smear campaign, so of course he's got a burden to carry from that. Gore had one to carry too, though he has a second chance now. Kerry's chance may come too, though being the president is hardly the only way to make an important positive difference in the world. Meanwhile Bush remains the worst and most dishonest and disgraceful president in US history. And Cheney is little more than a political criminal screaming to be indicted and locked up.

Time to publicly condemn all those who supported the smearvets campaign. That massive case of libel, which had no basis in fact whatsoever, really hurt our military personnel. If Kerry were president it's likely the Iraq conflict would be all but over by now. Thousands of US troops would not be killed, wounded or otherwise badly damaged. And all the Bushie smearvet lies were suposedly in defense of the troops. What a crock. As if prolonging the hopeless quagmire in Vietnam was good for the troops either. Since 2004 every single smearvet claim has been debunked by independent investigation and solid evidence. Every single one.

GOP Smear Group Makes Fraudulent Accusations about Al GORE's Electricity Bills * These are the lowdown dirty stinking A-hole liars you parrot Reported by Chrish - February 28, 2007 - 221 comments As noted early this morning, Drew Johnson's Tn Center for Policy Research is not recognized as a "legitimate organization" by the TN Dept. of Revenue, yet he's been all over FOX News calling Al GORE a hypocrite. Keith Olbermann further exposes the shoddy manipulative work they do to further the right-wing agenda and simultaneously proves the Al GORE is not a hypocrite - he's walking the walk. With video. Johnson fudged the numbers, not pointing out to viewers that GORE's electricity is way more expensive per kwh than normal because he buys green energy, so of course his bill would be higher by multiples right off the bat. His usage is higher than average because he lives in a much larger home than average, which houses offices for both himself and his wife, guest quarters, and has extra security measures. Johnson's hosts (Hannity and Gibson) added to the misconception of GORE's supposed hypocrisy by muddying the issue of carbon offsets, rather than clarifying and educating viewers. (This reminds me so much of the bamboozlement employed at OJ Simpson's trial, where jurors were so overwhelmed by confusing information on DNA evidence that they chose to ignore it.) Johnson's attempts to smear GORE and provide lame documentation should have been uncovered by the "journalists" at FOX who hosted him, much like they insist Dan Rather should have confirmed the origin of the documents that got him in so much trouble. But, as they accuse Rather, this guy was bolstering their case against Al GORE - he's been all over FOX. Now that he's been exposed as a total fraud, will FOX News correct the record and clear GORE's name, or will they let the smears stand?

Reagan sent 23 delegations to Syria. Pelosi not the only one in Syria, so were 3-4 GOP congressmen. James Baker's study group also strongly recommended talks with Syria and Iran. But Bush-Cheney don't do diplomacy with anyone unless they're making oil deals with their cronies. Bush-Cheney love Gaddafi these days, for instance.

Fred Thompson reveals he has lymphoma * Which is the least noxious condition exposed amongst the current GOP hopefuls: Giuliani (mob connections), Romney (lies, flipflops), McCain (pandering, Iraq debacle), Tancredo (racism), Hunter(corruption). Hello CHuck Hagel. Thompson disclosed he has Lymphoma Wednesday. WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Potential GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson has disclosed he has a treatable form of lymphoma, a source familiar to the "Law and Order" star's deliberations tells CNN. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic glands -- part of the body's immune system. Nearly 500,000 Americans are currently living with the disease according to the Lymphoma Research Foundation. Thompson, a former Republican senator from Tennessee, has been discussing his condition privately "for sometime," the source close to Thompson said, and his decision to disclose the information signals he is seriously considering a White House bid. "This disclosure should indicate to everyone interested in seeing Fred enter the race for the White House how serious he is in taking the next steps toward launching a campaign," the source said. Another source close to Thompson said the former senator has been living with the disease for two and a half years. The Georgetown University Medical Center oncologist handling Thompson's case will be holding a press conference on the former senator's health later Wednesday.
