Oh, hey, go for it. I just think you have to carefully pick your battles and this is one where they will gain no political points. In fact, with these four, it looks like an exercise of left and lefter.Drunken Master said:

We go from a projected budget surplus to a deficit.
Our military is totally overextended and the reserves are essentially busted.
The dollar is droping faster than a led sinker.
Our jobs are being lost by the tens of thousands.
The stock market hasn't reached 9/11 levels
The rich are getting richer and the poor are increasing
Loyal soldiers are dying every day.
We are just having one big happy party in US
Well Don, you've perfectly described the problem faced by compassionate conservatives - how do you give a shit about poverty when you've never seen it except when those commercials about povery in Africa come on and you're just a little late in reaching for the remote control so you don't have to be burdened by the images? How do you give a shit about Africa when you can't even find it on a map? How do you give a shit when the biggest problems in your life are your cappacino machine craps out on Thursdays, your Escalade got scraped in the Wal-Mart parking lot and you can't decide whether to watch American Idol or Amazing Race on Tuesday nights? How do you give a shit when war, to you, means your 5 year old teased the fat kid at school yesterday? How do you give a shit when your world view does not extend beyond a 50th state and a couple of countries really far away that liberals keeping talking about like they should be important but you don't even know where those places are? How can you give a shit when your parents never gave a shit about you except when they left you a bigger portion of their estate than you expected? How can you give a shit when no one in your miserable existence gives a shit about you beyond your ability to make them money?DonQuixote said:What do you care.

So, the rest of the country is going to hell in a handbasket.
So, what do you care!!
You know, I honestly hadn't thought of that - that would indeed be a stupid view.harleycharley said:

I've never been poor. I never claimed superiority. I have seen poverty. I have lived in poverty and I've experienced to a greater degree than a good number of people have. Not that that has anything to do with anything I posted.islandboy said:

Why do you think the Senate is there for ratification?
Bewildering post. Totally bewildering.
The invasion of Iraq was a smoke and mirrors charade
from the beginning. Bush is asking for an additional $80Billion this week
for the war in Iraq and Afganastan. Shouldn't his cabinet and staff be held
accountable for that unjust war? How would you feel if one of your relatives
was killed in Iraq? The money spent is the peoples money and the military
is the peoples military. When asked, Bush said he can't remember a
mistake he made.
Republicans have held up votes on a Democrat nominees in the past.
That's what the loyal opposition is supposed to do in a democracy.
Maybe you lived under a communist system too long and don't understand
that those in power are required to explain their decisions and the reasons
for those decisions.
I truly am bewildered by your mind set on these issues.
I wish the conservatives would stop whining and complaining all the time.
It's bad enough we have a sniveling coward as POTUS. Much less this thin
skinned attitude by partisans who think Bush is a war president.
