  4. I agree that it was crappy when only white men made the rules.
  5. No, he authorized the shooting of 3 pirates who were threatening to kill their civilian hostage. If he had done nothing and let the hostage be killed, you right wingers would have been screaming about how it shows he can't even protect one American. Stop being a hypocrite. And what does that military action have to do with gun control? Or are you one of those wackos who think we need our guns to fight the American military?
  6. Often it costs more to fix the damage done than it does to do the damage in the first place. The economy is in the emergency room after years of neglect and overindulgence.
  7. I consider Kennedy as more to the right, so right now the court leans more to the right than the majority of Americans. Hopefully Stevens, Ginsburg, and possibly Kennedy will retire while Obama is still president so they are replaced with younger justices with a moderate judicial temperament, as the conservatives will probably be there for awhile.
  8. I know Dick Cheney acted above the law because he thought our democracy failed, and favored corporate welfare as opposed to real capitalism, but I didn't know he was Austrian.
  9. Did you even try to get past some headline on newsmax? Chrysler isn't done, it's reorganizing. That's the whole point, to end up with a viable long-term privately own company. And given that most of the stakeholders have already agreed to the reorg, the bankruptcy will be relatively short.
  10. Yeah, because he said we would unilaterally eliminate our nukes.
  11. What was considered far left in "the good old days" when white men made the rules is now considered moderate by the majority of Americans. A Supreme Court change would only be noteworthy if Scalia or Thomas retired and it was restored to a more moderate balance.
  12. I guess you slept through the Bush budgets that were voted for by the majority of Republicans in Congress.
  13. They did plenty, they took us into deficit spending as we paid for 2 wars on a credit card. As far as creating sustained economic growth and job creation, you're right about them doing nothing in that regard.
  14. It's not a surprise as the Republican party increasingly continues to become the Dixiepub party and makes it hard for social moderates to have a voice.
  15. Anybody who thinks that gay civil marriage is a threat to their own marriage doesn't have a very good marriage in the first place.
  16. Sure, and if the Republicans had won they and Rush and Hannity wouldn't have been crowing about how Obama's policies had been rejected by the voters.
  17. I would have preferred Orakpo to Maybin as he's more of a 3-down, all around DE. The linemen picks are OK, but I wished they picked a true OT like Britten. Same with the Harris pick, I would rather have a true OLB. Didn't like all the CB picks. The Nelson pick was good value. Overall, I'd give them a B for talent, but a C for picking players that will have to change positions. This was a foundation draft, in that they're building a foundation that may be fruitful in a couple of years. But given the schedule and division, I expect they will be competing for 3rd in the division, will once again miss the playoffs, Dick will be gone next year, and we'll have to undergo another 2-3 year rebuilding under another 2nd tier retread coach.
  18. His play has been compared to Cato June. A bit weak in pass coverage.
  19. GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — Almost a month after a special election in a heavily Republican congressional district, the Democratic candidate claimed victory Friday when his GOP opponent conceded in a race that focused attention on President Barack Obama's stimulus plan. After the March 31 election in New York's 20th District, Democrat Scott Murphy and Republican Jim Tedisco were separated by a handful of votes with thousands of absentee ballots to be counted. For nearly four weeks, the lead flipped back and forth but Murphy's advantage started to grow this week and was more than 400 votes on Thursday. The diverse district stretches from the rural Adirondack Mountains, south of the Canadian border, to the mid-Hudson Valley, north of New York City. It has more than 196,000 registered Republicans compared with about 125,000 Democrats. Nationwide, Republicans have taken a pounding in the past two election cycles and in New York, the pain has been acute. They lost three congressional seats in 2006 and three more last year, leaving just three Republicans in the 29-seat state delegation. They also lost the state Senate for the first time in four decades last November, and every statewide elected office is held by a Democrat. Early on, Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele declared the 20th a top priority for 2009. For Republicans, victory would have given them a claim in the heavily Democratic Northeast. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationw...0,4878860.story So much for the Republican resurgence, maybe the +70,000 more Republicans were busy buying teabags. Or they support Obama's policies.
  20. That seems like a fair and consistent response from the teabaggers. This is the best thing to happen to her, now she's going to become the poster child for the anti gay marriage crowd, and get plenty of publicity and speaking engagements from it. She was on FoxNews (of course), and said when she was asked the question, she asked God what she should do, and decided to say she was against it. The religious right will eat that up.
  21. He's posting for Republican supporters, most of whom are older and might have vision problems (figuratively and literally).
  22. The economy, foreign policy, Iraq, Afganistan, health care, education, energy, and stem cell research never came up? Really? And the spending on the economic recovery and bailouts didn't come up because the scope of the problem didn't come to light until the election was almost over. And when it did, and McCain said, "The fundamentals of the economy are strong", that only gave the voters more reason to vote for Obama, which they did. I never said the majority Americans support what he proposes just because they like him, that's what you're saying. I'm saying they continue to trust his judgement on complex issues, and are encouraged by the policies he's enacted so far on many issues, in less than 100 days. He continues to have high favorables because of what he's done and proposes to do.
  23. I've had a couple done, the last just a month ago. Yes, the prep is the worst. I was gagging on the drink and couldn't down all of it. Just when you think you're done, the intestines start bubbling again. But by the time you go for the procedure, you'll feel better. They give you a mild sedative to make you a bit drowsy, and you just feel a slight pressure but not any pain when they put the scope in. I actually fell asleep for a bit, so it didn't seem long at all. But be prepared to have more frequent bowel movements for the next couple of weeks afterwards. Not like the runs, it just seems like everything goes through your system faster.
  24. He's "middle road" of what American voters support, otherwise he wouldn't continue to have high job ratings after the actions he has taken. It might not be what you like as a middle road, but it's where the majority of Americans are. And when the economy recovers, I'm sure the right wingers will try to downplay the success of Obama's policies, because they have nothing else to contribute.
  25. The rumor is that Regier and Drury had agreed on a contract, but it was rejected by Golisano. FYI, Ruff is only the 3rd coach in NHL history (since 1917) to keep his job after missing the playoffs for 5 of 7 seasons. The others were Frank Boucher and Barry Trotz. Looks like another season of inconsistancy and excuses.
