Rush Limbaugh Challenges President Obama To A Debate

The Democrats WANT Rush to be the spokesman for the GOP... and the Republicans are taking the bait! How about a Palin/Limbaugh ticket in 2012?  (Mar 7, 2009 | post #2994)

UK official: Taliban part of Afghan solution

In Iraq, the solution included the sunni insurgents (who were the biggest part of the "surge strategy"). Can we buy the Taliban like we bought the sunni insurgents?  (Oct 5, 2008 | post #5)

2008 Presidential Election

Palin says Obama 'palling around' with terrorists

Personally, I wish he WERE a socialist... but his solutions, like his health care solution, are firmly in support of existing free-enterprise entities (like insurance companies). He has proposed little to cause conservatives the fear and loathing they are demonstrating on these boards and in the mainstream media. (P.S. The RIGHT wing in Europe are closer to our Democrats and are socialist).  (Oct 5, 2008 | post #332)

2008 Presidential Election

Palin says Obama 'palling around' with terrorists

US companies are investing in the emerging growth markets in Asia (they cannot afford not to). They will build AND sell there. Even the required technical and engineering skills can be had there for cheap. Only the profits will come home to Bush's "ownership sociey", those rich or smart enough to invest. Yes, those nasty corporations are us! What's good for General Motors is good for the USA! When the up and coming Chinese are driving Chevies (GMC = General Motors China) and pumping Exxon/Iran oil, all will be well for us. Jobs that must be done locally, like Agriculture and Construction, are already heavily invested in by Mexican labor. If all you have to offer is your labor, you have been devalued, unless you can invent or design products for the new growth markets. It's a natural progression for a wealthy people... let those that are hungry study math and science and work hard. We will be the gentlemen rulers of the earth. (And if our investments go bad, we will get the taxpayers to cover our assets).  (Oct 5, 2008 | post #329)

"Ayers And Obama: What Is Their Relationship? ": They were both a part of the Chicago respected civic establishment. If you were the type to be active in your community, and your communty was Chicago, you probably had some relationship with Ayers and Obama and Mayor Daley. If you were the type that was afraid to get involved in your community, because it might "dirty your hands" or put you on some committees with peple that were not like you, you can today take credit for not associating with anyone who made a difference, good or bad, in your community. http://www.nytimes .com/2008/10/04/us /politics/04ayers. html?_r=2&oref =slogin  (Oct 5, 2008 | post #322)

Obama, McCain Plan To Vote On Bailout

Americans have a strong tendency to self-delusion, especially the Republicans. There's really no self-aware way to defend their neo-liberal, voodoo sleight of hand.  (Oct 1, 2008 | post #25)

Obama, McCain Plan To Vote On Bailout

The Democrats and Republicans belong to the same club. They may call each other names in debates or to get elected, but they have a good laugh about it later, at the club. The public has caught on... that's why all votes are 50/50, these days: it's a coing toss.  (Oct 1, 2008 | post #24)

Surge In Iraq Violence Won't Change Pullout Plan

It looks like peace in Iraq depends more on Moqtada al-Sadr than the US Troops. This last go round was probably the USA encouraging Maliki to shut down the Mahdi Army once and for all. But they won't surrender their arms.  (Mar 31, 2008 | post #9)

Bush: `Iran Is a Threat to World Peace'

The oil producing countries are increasingly looking "east" (as are American companies), to the expanding economies in Asia, as their future market. We need to adjust to this changing world, instead of enforcing the old one: the days are gone when these countries were either the USA's bitch or the USSR's.  (Jan 11, 2008 | post #24)

Bush: `Iran Is a Threat to World Peace'

If we continue with American imperialism, we're done as a nation. Truly are. And two things coming at us. We're going to be irrelevant in the world. You see this in foreign affairs when you see all these other countries making arrangements by themselves; don't even invite us to the meeting. Why? We come to a meeting; we think we know it all. We're the superpower—you've got to listen to us. http://therealnews .com/web/index.php ?thisdataswitch=0 &thisid=777 &thisview=item  (Jan 11, 2008 | post #23)

Bush says war in Iraq is long from over -- themorningcall.com

We should just take over the operation of Iraq's oil industry... in trust for all Iraqis, of course. When the rival factions realize that they must petition the Iraqi Oil Trust for any more equitable distribution of revenue, they will put down their arms and start typing petitions. Our troops can concentrate on protecting the oil infrastructure. Don't worry, it won't be the American Government that administers the Iraqi Oil Trust... we can contract that task to a private corporation. It's not really that different than the way an oil producer leases their fields to an American oil company.  (Sep 14, 2007 | post #22)
