Percisely, the tax cuts for the rich have severly crippled the economy, the more money you make the more you should subjected to pay in taxes, percentage wise. The ultra rich can afford to pay more in taxes than the middle class. It's a simple fact. The people who got the biggest benefit from the cuts were the ones who have more money in their bank accounts than 20 regular families will earn in a year.
You're entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts the economy is doing just fine growth is up and unemployment is down, the only thing that got us out of the recession inherited from the Clinton administration was the tax cuts. You want to soak the rich that's not fair and that's not equal, and more than that it hurts the economy. I thought liberals were supposed to be for equality.
No, the conservatives want to pay for people to go to religious school, and where I'm from most of the "elitists" who send their children to those schools are not Liberals. I said nothing at all about college so I'm not gonna bother wasting time to look it up.
No conservatives want to allow kids to go to any school that they want religion has nothing to do with, the public education system is a joke, private schools produce better results regardless if they're Christian or not. I thought liberals were supposed to be pro-choice.
There are hundreds of dictators in the world that took their power by force, Saddam Hussein was probably one of the weakest, and many of them are in the middle east. And where's the proof that the UN sanctions weren't being obeyed?
Saddam violated every single U.N. resolution ever put to him. And in terms of genocide and human rights abuses Saddam Hussein was the worst by far.
Did they find the WMD's we invaded for in the last 20 minutes?
That's not the only reason why we went to Iraq there were 20 odd reasons listed in the Joint Resolution of Congress authorizing the use of force against Iraq:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20021002-2.html
Did they find the links to Al Qaida just now?
No they found those along time ago in the 9-11 Commission report: (SEE NEXT POST)
Iraq posed exactly no threat to the United States or any other country for that matter.
Yes they did, Saddam was actively harboring terrorists and training thousands of terrorists at Salmon Pak.
What exactly is so "moral" about 25,000 American casualties and hundreds of thopusands of Iraqi casualties,
You're just making up numbers now.
for no reason what so ever?
Actually bringing Democracy to Iraq is a pretty good damn reason, it's called Democratic Peace theory, Democratic nations don't attack one another.
It is immoral to invade a relatively peaceful country killing tens of thousands of civilians,
Is it moral to sit idly by while Saddam butchered millions of his own citizenry?
just because you don't like them.
Nice straw man.
There is no evidence that the reasons we were given as to why we had to invade Iraq was were truthful.
Umm yes there is, there was mountains of intelligence from just about every country in the world that Saddam had not destroyed his WMD, what's more regardless of WMD Saddam was harboring terrorists and aligning himself with Al-Qaeda.
Who do you base your "morals" on Jesus?
I'm agnostic but am still a moral absolutist unlike the moral relativists on the left.
I don't think so. Jesus said things like "turn the other cheek", and "love thy enemy" not drop your bombs and invade them blindly for no reason and in the mean time allow your intelligence agency to torture the captives. You have zero moral ground to stand on if you side with this administration.
Your entire post is one big logical fallacy.
So we are not subject to random searches now, have you flown on a plane recently?
lol, are you kidding me? After 9-11 are you honestly going to argue that rigid searching procedures for airline passengers isn't a necessity?
People who in no way, shape, or , form resemble terrorists are being searched at random.
Um the fact of the matter is that 19 men of arabic descent killed over 3,000 U.S. citizens on 9-11-01, so would you suggest that we focus on little old ladies and children as much as we do those from the same region as the 9-11 hijackers?
The White House refuses to tell us who they have been wiretapping, you are just spewing more right-wing propaganda.
Your entire post is something right out of moveon.org and I'm the one spreading propaganda? You think the whitehouse should declassify intelligence of such vital importance as the names of the people who we are tracking and monitoring? Hay while we're at it we can just give al-qaeda members a phone call and tell them all of our intelligence strategies.
Fact is it is in blatent violation of thr 4th Amendment to wire tap American's without a warrent.
To bad for you that hasn't been proven and it's not a violation of the 4th amendment during war time.
Amendment IV - Search and seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Article 2 Section 2:
Section 2. The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.
September 14, 2001 Joint Resolution of Congress:
Portion from secion 1:
Whereas the president has authority under the Constitution to take action to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States.
Section 2
(a) That the president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
The Bush administration has given no less than $1 Billion worth of contracts to Halliburton since they took office,most of them no-bid. I know as a good neo-con you know what the ties are between Cheney and Halliburton.
Umm so what Clinton gave just as many no bid contracts to Halliburton and that is hardly giving away anything they are paying for a service.
Cheney doesn't recieve dime one from Halliburton, all of the money that he gets through his stock options is given away to charity. In order to eliminate the perception of a conflict of interests he created a legally binding contract that made this donation mandatory, the terms are non-negotiable, everything he gets goes to charity.
Summary
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]A Kerry ad implies Cheney has a financial interest in Halliburton and is profiting from the company's contracts in Iraq. [/FONT]
The fact is, Cheney doesn't gain a penny from Halliburton's contracts, and almost certainly won't lose even if Halliburton goes bankrupt.
The ad claims Cheney got $2 million from Halliburton "as vice president," which is false. Actually, nearly $1.6 million of that was paid before Cheney took office. More importantly, all of it was earned before he was a candidate, when he was the company's chief executive.

OK now I ask you. Where is proof of this conservative policy working? Also, if you really want me to dig up a bunch of links for what I have posted I will but I believe that basically everything I have posted is either an opinion or a well know fact. And obviously I can't post links to my opinions, so tell me precisely what is a lie and I'll dig up the truth for you since you are obviously too blind to be able to find it for yourself.
Everything you posted is either an opinion, a distortion, or an outright slanderous lie.
