You're the one who made the claim. So the onus is upon you to back it up. I'm supposed to take your word for it? You know I'm not going to waste my time watching a three hour hearing. But if there's a transcript, or a news story mentioning this detail, then the mystery can be easily solved. I tried...

Well, thank goodness. Why would anyone wear ANYTHING bought from cafepress? I was looking for a way to show my support without carrying around a poster, I guess. I found the shirt on cafepress. It's really a nice shirt. A T-shirt with "Re-Elect W in 2004" and the President's smiling face ...

First, there's the sin of omission, a very nasty form of purposeful dishonesty. Your favorite tactic is to avoid many points that a poster brings up, and only address the easiest one. Since there is no way to confirm whether the FISA judges said the system was flawed, and the application time for r...

a) Because it's a nothing story. b) Because the dishonesty - if there is any - stems from a chemical addiction, and not from decisions made from a sober but corrupt mind and amoral conscience. Most people can tell the difference a.) uh. no, you and the Kennedys want me to believe that it's a nothin...

Oh....MY...GOD. I could NOT have forseen the answer to that first paragraph. I swear everyone, I was just kidding. Wow. As for the 2nd, well as long as you're firm about it. You know what they say: A Hard Man is Good to Find. Ha. Ha. Ha. I knew it was a joke. But I have no doubt that many people ha...

I think i have mentioned it here in a recent post. I kow i have on other boards. And you obviously have not seen that hearing. It was very interesting. Other proposals were made, but that one stuck in my head as particularly noteworthy. These were not made in a Congressional debate, but in a hearin...

The reason I keep on this impeachment thing is because it's been mentioned here, as well as on some other message boards. I am trying to get ahead of the argument here, since i know it will grow into more of a mantra as the year draws on into election gear. On the Biden story, I'm sorry if i seemed...

As for going "through the bureaucracy", too bad you didn't read a single news article when this program surfaced. Because nearly all of them mentioned that according to the FISA court laws, a warrant can be granted as much as three days AFTER - again, AFTER - a search has been completed. ...

Here's a silly idea that proves Democrats don't necessarily know what to do either...Oh how well it has worked in Israel. Who here said it WASN'T absurd? Matter of fact, I prefaced that it WAS an absurd idea. Why post an article like this, wasting my drive space, to call an idea absurd that we've a...

Trap set and triggered. Thanks, Criddic. Not quite. The President has followed the law, according to all lawyers involved and in hearings about the NSA program, there has not been any foundation to say he has not. Having said that, I agree and have stated that this area is murky when it comes to th...

It's funny how blogs by other people can help explain my own opinions more clearly. The other day, either here or at myspace, I responded to an article about Biden's plan by saying that I have conservative family members who thought of the same thing (Iraq divided three ways) long ago. The problem ...

Uh, no oscarguy. I would not suggest that he outright order a line-item veto. There is still a Congress to deal with, you know. I never said Congress has no powers, but that it has been agreed upon by the Congress, judges and others that certain circumstances exist where the Consititutional powers ...

I don't think it is wrong to say such things in front of the President. However, it may have been inappropriate timing. By all means, go ahead and tell the President your opinion. It's not like he hasn't seen protesters before. But to shock people while at a friendly gathering where the President i...
