Kerry VP choice...

Posted By Joe Lentz

There are many folks, right and left, who have useful and rationale contributions to this forum; unfortunately they are matched by a few who primarily come here to troll and litter the area. Your contribution, Jim, falls into that latter category.

Air America Radio

I stream it at work sometimes. I like Randi Rhodes, but she definitely isn't for
the faint of heart. wink

Ted Koppel, tonight...

Posted By Joe Lentz

Paul Wolfowitz should watch this, since he just stated that only 500 US troops have
been killed so far. How disrespectful of our troops is that? BTW, 98% of Sinclair's
donations were to the republican party, no surprise there. But to abuse power and the
public trust this way is shameful.

"I didn't like it one bit."

You know, I wasn't a fan of George Bush senior, but the longer his son is in office,
the better he looks in hindsight.

GWB's reaction is typical of how clueless he is regarding the ramifications of all
the various aspects of his war. This is a public relations nightmare and will only
increase the resolve of those who we are fighting against. And why wouldn't it? This
confirms all their worst fears about america.

Calls for Rumsfeld to resign

Posted By Joe Lentz

The question is, will they turn on one of their own in order to make the problem
go away? Maybe if they thought it would work. Bush has already said it won't happen
though. Of course he says lots of things that end up only being words, so who knows..

Where Have All the Liberals Gone?

Posted By Joe Lentz

I think it goes in cycles Jim. People reach a point where they need to take a break now and then, particularly after dealing at length with that small number of posters who seem committed to a low level of discourse and information.

Also mega-dittos to what Tom said. wink

Another Question

Posted By Joe Lentz

Well, of course that is a simple test of character. It's bad enough that GWB failed it miserably, but worse that the voters fell for the dirty trick and let him get away with it. That he would hamstring a member of his own party that way speaks volumes.

Another Questionable Leader

Posted By Joe Lentz

It's my belief that Rumsfeld will go down in history as the worst Sec. of Defense since Robert McNamara. Many of us have been able to see this without waiting for the historical context. Others will likely maintain party loyalties until enough damage has been done to make it obvious even to them. The biggest losers aren't in the realm of politics though, but are the troops themselves.

IMO this bunch in Washington treat the military with the same abstract contempt they treat the american people. Yet they still manage to con enough voterss into believing they are competent. PT Barnum would have been proud of this bunch.
