......what does GOP stand for. I see the term used everywhere, and everyone assumes that everybody else knows what it means - but I don't

I won't let ya stand alone on this one, I have no idea what it stands for either.

I just wiki'd it and apparently GOP means "Grand Old Party," which is a nickname for the Republican party.

Nah, just for a President

Sam you should know by now that this particular insult misses its mark with me. But hey no one can ever say you don't give it 100% effort. Which in itself is saying alot since it did completely miss its mark.

Gort, you seem to think you are very important to me. Sadly you're not. You weren't in my sites at all when I made that comment. I was being witty. Get a sense of humor. And stop making ME so important to you.

I don't think Gort even supports Bush. His IQ is at LEAST 50 so he can't possibly support him.

Someone should tell them that bad press can be prevented by not abusing prisoners in the first place. Censorship is only needed to preserve the good reputation of those who have tortured and/or murdered already.

Perhaps it is you thatneeds to work on your wittiness. Moreover since it was a direct response to my comment who wouldn't think it was directed at them. Sam where you are concerned I have a great sense of humor and enjoy using it often. Sam you mistake importance for convenince.

Your problem has always been because you tolerate criticism about as well as you know who you think I am being mean to you all the time. As I have often said Sam you need to grow a thicker skin. Welcome to the real world.

America was attacked on Bush's watch. He lost the World Trade Center to terrorists.

I’d say we have to give her credit for that one. It was just to good.
