Of course he agrees with it. Don't be ridiculous.

I wish more psychics like Sam would get off the computer and enlist so that they could help the military find Osama with their powers.

And of course you agree with record deficits and losing wars, it's what you wanted right? That's why you voted for it...........

Nope. I was against the Iraq invasion and have stated it many times on this forum. I have also been an outspoken critic on the record deficits run up by the Republican Congress. Additionally, I have stated several times that I would like to see President Bush impeached.

That is one of many differences between you and me. I want a good government no matter who gives it to us. You just want a government with the Democrat Party in control no matter what they do because you are a just another worthless party hack who is destroying our country.

I have gotten past the elections. Obviously you have not. Get over it, your team lost ( 30 & 5 ).
Put away your Miss Cleo persona - you have no idea how long the Dems will retain control of the Legislature.
But to delude oneself into thinking that reducing earmarks, pork-barrel spending, or whatever term you wish to use - even if it is only for a 2-year period - won't benefit the Dems : well, it's your funeral.

Richards ever get his Bridge to nowhere built, that wasn't needed? We still have a building named for a crooked, charged and prosecuted Liberal Politician! Many of them will get funding for projects named after them, even UNDESERVED!

The Clinton Whorehouse in Podunk AR, "may" not be his building, but people wonder about the "dancing Blue Dresses"?? Links please???????????????????

Re: Democrats cut Billions in Pork

It's interesting that people are arguing over which party is better by pointing out how absolutely terrible the other is, and that they are a little better in that they are not quite as bad.

Not for oil, but for Big Oil. It wasn't to secure an oil supply for the US, it was to enhance the bottom line of Big Oil, who coincidentally, have made the largest profits of any business in the history of the planet, since the invasion.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Do you have a problem with fighting a war for politics and profit, or do you have a problem with people pointing out that that's what's happening?
