1. Has everyone forgot their damn civics class? When this country was founded there were 3 branches of government formed to create a system of checks and balances. The president wont listen to the Majority in this country anymore so congress is trying to.

  2. In all the war talk NOBODY has ever answered this question.

    Why did Bush and Cheney and the others have such a hard on to invade Iraq well before 9/11. What is it with Iraq?

  3. Roc Rizzo says:

    Steve,
    Dontcha know? Bush went to war with Iraq, because Saddam threatened his daddy!

    Actually, it is part of the plan by the Project for an New American Century. In their view, we have to take over the Middle East, so that we can have ALL their oil, and corporations here can prosper.

    Impeachment — It’s not just for sex any more.

    #18, jm, (quoting JFK) We’re not going to have any search for scapegoats … the final responsibilities of any failure are mine, and mine alone.

    That makes entirely too much sense. Too bad we’ll never hear that from this administration…

  5. Mr. Fusion says:

    #18, jm, and the reality is, …

    This administration intends to be candid about its errors. [giggle] And when we make an error, heads will roll. [serious frown, smirk] For as a wise man once said, “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” [smirk, giggle, smirk] So Congress is still trying to micro manage the war. They shouldn’t do that! [giggle, smirk] We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors…. I hope the Democratic Congress will accept their mistakes. We’re not going to have any search for scapegoats We can all see the Democrats putting our troops in harms way. [smirk, giggle, smirk, serious frown] If Congress won’t fund our troops, we know that Nancy Pelosi won’t be saying [smirk]… “the final responsibilities of any failure are mine, and mine alone.” We know she and the Democrats won’t admit their failing our troops. [smirk, giggle]

    An idea that I’ve heard: to pay for the war, increase the gas tax $1/gallon. This can be added to the supplemental bill We burn about 140 billion gallons of gasoline a year, so the tax will pay for the war. Gas usage will be cut, which can’t be that bad (and the net will be gas prices will go up 70 cents or so). Supporters of the war can indicate so with their right foot! When the troops leave, remove the tax. Just gasoline, not diesel or jet fuel; yeah we’ll hurt short-term but we won’t keep building up the public debt and hammering the grandkids.

    Even some of my convervative friends agree with this–that floored me!

    26, ever seen a tax removed? Once enacted it’s there forever (well, except for that old war tax on telephones – oh boy, I get $40 back this year, WooHoo.)
