But that was all in foreign policy. The economy was doing pretty well back then. Tom Send a noteboard - 29/08/2012 02:04:13 AM
How many people really cared if Bush made an ass of himself and bombed a country or two? The Iraq invasion was mismanaged and ended up costing more American lives than it would have if properly run, and that is obviously bad, but the rest of Bush's gaffes were inconsequential to the lives of everyday Americans.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

You're not properly using a "Re:" tag if you are changing the subject line. *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 12:42:13 AM 271 Views
It is convenient though, and concise. Joel - 28/08/2012 02:10:52 AM 736 Views
I had to do it to fit the 100 character limit *NM* Praziquantel - 28/08/2012 03:58:32 AM 331 Views
Unless you're Roh. *NM* Legolas - 28/08/2012 09:56:01 PM 309 Views
I'm not sure why the rules of the English language wouldn't apply to her in particular. *NM* Tom - 29/08/2012 02:05:39 AM 314 Views
Because I miss her posts, I guess. Legolas - 29/08/2012 09:20:23 PM 586 Views
One can't say "regarding" unless one has referred to something first. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:00:16 PM 549 Views
God already decided the GOP convention should be cut short. No arguing with deities. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 12:03:30 AM 366 Views
Would you still say that if Obama were struck by lightning? *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 12:42:40 AM 239 Views
Assuming he survived, I'd probably make the same joke, yes. TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 01:28:44 AM 591 Views
No, no, they "prayed away the spray." Joel - 28/08/2012 02:09:02 AM 595 Views
I may need to see if there is an online stream. Joel - 28/08/2012 12:34:07 AM 682 Views
The party platform is generally stated, though. Tom - 28/08/2012 12:44:04 AM 569 Views
Yes, but past conventions also decided it; now it is just reiterated and marketed (or downplayed.) Joel - 28/08/2012 01:54:08 AM 684 Views
I sometimes watch bits and pieces Larry - 28/08/2012 01:03:04 AM 631 Views

Glad to see you joining the Republican fold! *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 01:23:55 PM 290 Views

Well, yeah; most of us are, but which one...? Joel - 29/08/2012 11:24:09 PM 625 Views
What else do we need to know? Obama was a disaster for 4 years, everything got worse..... Anonymous2000 - 28/08/2012 04:57:21 AM 616 Views
You are right. The Green Party is clearly the sensible choice. *NM* Stephen - 28/08/2012 08:10:26 PM 321 Views
Who??? *NM* everynametaken - 29/08/2012 05:02:27 AM 332 Views
I may have been joking when I said that. *NM* Stephen - 29/08/2012 10:47:27 AM 362 Views

The incumbent administration being deemed a 4-year disaster didn't help Kerry defeat Bush. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 09:28:03 PM 335 Views
But that was all in foreign policy. The economy was doing pretty well back then. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:04:13 AM 622 Views
+1 - the ecomony in 2004 was kicking butt and lead to GWB's reelection, *NM* Anonymous2000 - 29/08/2012 05:05:12 AM 334 Views
Only by comparison to the rest of Bushs presidency. Joel - 29/08/2012 09:53:20 AM 680 Views
You're actually blaming Bush for 9/11 now? Isaac - 30/08/2012 04:22:05 AM 599 Views
It is the Richard Clarke criticism. Joel - 30/08/2012 01:08:39 PM 661 Views
He also blames Bush for a Clinton dot-com bubble bursting. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:04:38 PM 559 Views
Question: Joel - 30/08/2012 11:04:35 PM 730 Views
You are so delusional it is a waste of time to discuss the matter further. Tom - 30/08/2012 11:12:42 PM 553 Views
Those sophisticated pets.com investors were driving the Dow at some point? Joel - 30/08/2012 11:32:11 PM 701 Views
Re: What else do we need to know? Obama was a disaster for 4 years, everything got worse..... callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 03:57:00 AM 578 Views
I think you're trying to get me to vote "neither." nossy - 28/08/2012 03:08:07 PM 680 Views
"None of the Above!" ~ Monty Brewster *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 09:28:33 PM 334 Views
Ideally, I'm trying to just get as many people as possible to not vote Obama. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:04:57 AM 536 Views
Conventions won't do that. nossy - 29/08/2012 07:56:22 PM 578 Views
See, you're not taking it far enough. callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 04:03:40 AM 638 Views
Fox News (!) on Ryan's speech last night. ironclad - 30/08/2012 09:09:43 AM 641 Views
Fox News or a token liberal at Fox News? snoopcester - 30/08/2012 09:23:22 AM 764 Views
While I expect it's the latter, I can't help but hope the media will call the RNC out on their lies. Ghavrel - 30/08/2012 11:00:20 AM 638 Views
They are doing so, but it does not matter. Joel - 30/08/2012 03:26:47 PM 818 Views
Part of the problem is that trust in media is an all time low and the earned that random thoughts - 30/08/2012 04:49:23 PM 669 Views
Much of it is Reagans old PR man creating Fox News to falsely convince people media is untrustworthy Joel - 30/08/2012 07:35:19 PM 725 Views
Lies is a strong word. If the RNC lies, Obama is postively burning through his pants wardrobe. Tom - 30/08/2012 10:04:39 PM 595 Views
The cancer thing was absurd, yes. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2012 12:45:33 AM 274 Views
