Everywhere in the Bush administration, it is either raining indictments, or huge civil actions for fraud. Bush cant even nominate someone to the Supreme Court that isnt tarnished in one way or another. This has to be the most corrupt administration in US history. Forget about Tammany Hall. Forget about Teapot Dome. They are tempests compare to this perfect storm of corruption.

aps said:Danarhea, you are posting some good stuff today. Keep it up, you smearer of the right-wing party.
Navy Pride, sometimes it takes a little time before news comes out. Just give it time.
Navy Pride said:Let the smear tactrics begin from our left wing friends.....
Its funny this is not all over the news...........
Deegan said:Well this is not a left-wing smear, this is a conservative one. I am in agreement with the conservatives like Dan on this one, but not for his petty accusations of fraud, but because this woman is not accountable. I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else, she has never been a judge, so there is little to know about her. Bush has truly lost his balls on this pick, and is taking a cowards approach at this selection, truly disgusting.:doh
danarhea said:And that is proof positive that, despite our bashing of each other on the last board we were on, that you are definitely a conservative on this issue. I know we have been at each other's throats for going on a year now, but we do have much in common. We just disagree a lot on Bush, but once he is gone, I think we will pretty much be on the same page.
Deegan said:I am sure we do agree on many issues, I just don't like the folks that you so often get your information from. Pat for instance, I was about to vote for him when he ran, I agreed with a whole lot of what he had to say, then I found out he was a Jew basher, and a religious nut. I also discovered he was a bit of a hypocrite, he defends the war in Vietnam, but is currently trashing this war at every turn. He is just a very confusing fellow, and I think that most Americans view him this way as well.
I am losing faith in my leaders everyday, but when some on the left, or even conservatives smear the entire party, it really just backfires. We all then feel the need to defend our positions, and our party, even those we may not agree with, or even care for. So you see, the more the smear machine churns, the worse this gets for all involved. I am sure the Republicans have lawyers digging in to the Dems records as we speak, and in the end, it's all a huge smoke screen.
danarhea said:When in doubt, call the other guy a Liberal. OK. Its a good tactic. I think I will use it.
Navy Pride, YOU are the damn Liberal here, not me. Bush could have picked any number of legitimate Conservative judges with proven track records, but passed them all over for someone who tried to bring feminism to Southern Methodist University, and who supports gay rights. Since you support her so much, that makes YOU the liberal.
You and your damn Liberal buddies. Grrrrrrrrr.
OK everyone, say hi to the newest Liberal on this board. He goes by the name of Navy Pride, and here is his mascot:
I got your number, RINO.
Navy Pride said:I personally don't care what the Liberals and wanna be Conservatives think of the selection of Ms Miers......I just wish any real Conservatives would relax and let the process play out.........Instead of bitching about the selection watch the hearings and then maybe you can make a sensible decision...........
From what I have seen and read I think she will make a fine Supreme Court Judge, far to the right of the justice she is replacing.......
UtahBill said:Far right is fine, if you want an American version of the Taliban, or a minority religion using favortism to give its adherents all the political plums while disenfranchising all others from the political process. Who will save us from OUR version of a Saddam Hussein?
Like was said in today's Phoenix paper, "if 100 qualified people each listed 100 judicial candidates, her name likely would not appear among the 10,000."
When I go to the hospital for surgery, I don't want someone who hasn't even finished med school to participate in any way. Miers is a political appointee of only slightly higher caliber than former FEMA head Brown.
I would prefer Bush be drunk from alcohol consumption, not from his abuse of power.
Navy Pride said:I looked at your profile and it says your a moderate so I assume your in the middle on social and liberal issues......
I don't think after the hearings you will be very happy with the selection of Ms Meirs, especially if your liberal on social issues......
Navy Pride said:Do you have a recent link for her position on those issues? In 1979 she became and evangelical christian, a Sunday school Teacher who is pro life and vehemently anti gay marriage.......On the Michael Medved show a woman called in who attended her Sunday School class and said that Ms Miers had very strong Conservative beliefs..............She has also been the president's lawyer for 10 years so I am pretty sure he knows where she stands on the issues.......
I know it has to be a tough pill for you and your liberal friends to swallow but get use to it.......
danarhea said:Since you seem to have a reputation as a liberal who crossdresses as a Conservative, I will give you THIS link. As you can see, the only reason she did not favor overturning the Texas sodomy law was because she didnt think it would affect Dallas. According to some in the gay community who endorse Miers, it is because she supports equal rights for gays, and is against discrimination based on gender. Miers is also known for appointing gays to her staff. The gays who do oppose her, do so not because of her stance on gays, but because she favors overturning Roe v. Wade.
Actually, if the truth be known, I have no problems with her stance on Roe v. Wade, and no problems with her endorsement by gays. My problem with her is the lack of a track record, and also the fact that she headed the law firm that defrauded investors. While she might not have known about the activity, she headed the law firm while it was happening, and this indicates that she was not on her toes when she should have been.
Now, my Liberal RINO friend. Its your turn. I would suggest either put up or shut up. You can only go around namecalling for so long before you look like a complete dolt because of it. Try posting some facts for a change instead of just calling everything you see Liberal because you dont agree. In this case, calling someone a Liberal is like projecting your own Liberal self image onto other people. It is not debate, and it does not work, except to make people laugh at you.
Navy Pride said:If you call my stance on the following issues Liberal then so be it:
Social:
1. Pro Life
2. Anti Gay Marriage
3. Pro Death Penalty
4. Pro Balanced Budget
5. Pro States Rights
6. Pro Prayer in School and under God in the POA.
Fiscal
1. Pro balanced Budget
2. Pro small government
3. Pro Tax Cuts
4. Pro States Rights
5. Pro strong military
6. Pro 2nd Amendment
I have probably have missed a few....So lets see where you stand on these issues if you have the guts to say so.......
danarhea said:We have gone over that ground before, so why do you bring it up again? I already gave my responses then, and is a moot point now. Are you looking to attempt to derail the discussion on Meirs? It appears so.
I stated earlier that Miers supported gay rights and you then asked for a link, while saying that it was untrue. I gave the link, as you requested, then asked you to put up or shut up. It appears that you are not putting up, so I will state this once more. In light of the data I gave showing Ms. Miers to be for gay rights, I ask you once again to either prove it wrong with a link of your own, or else quit the silly game playing. So far, you have done neither, so now is the time to step up to the plate. Either show that Ms. Miers did not say what she said, or then support her, knowing that she takes liberal stances on some of the issues. You can tout yourself as a Conservative in words all you want, but it is in deed where it counts. So far in this thread, in deed, you have only shown that you are a RINO.

More proof that Navy Pride is a genius! Good going Pride!Navy Pride said:Let the smear tactrics begin from our left wing friends.....
Its funny this is not all over the news...........
What does one think of a repeatedly stupid post by the same person? This is the 2nd time in this thread that Navy Pride insanely accuses an article by a website that advertises Ann Coulter's books, books weeping over Terri Shiavo and against gun control as a liberal smear campaign.Navy Pride said:You know I have been watching the news networks all day and have not seen one word on this story.......Could this be another smear campaign from our friends on the left?
