  • I'll agree that it is absurd. Rush Limbaugh, moveon.org, or anything similar to those two should never reach the floor of the Congress. They have the peoples work to do, which doesn't include condemning ads or what someone says on the radio. Get back to the actual business, not this garbage.


    I thought that too, but with their record the past several years, I might actually prefer them wasting their time with this crap instead of wasting their time passing laws that screw us further.

    If they don't do the absurd / easy work...then they'll REALLY be unproductive :) And besides i'm not too sure if I want those guys making the real difficult decisions if the best they can do in the last 2 weeks is Rush and Moveon.

  • Purple Hawk,
    this may be the only thing we ever agree on.

    It is unfortunate and absurd the way this oganization and the media sharks have misrepresented Rush's position on this.

    Oh well.

    The other tragedy is that it is just as bad as an Anna Nicole or Natalie Holloway in the way that the story detracts from real issues debate & discussion.

    :(

    Pretty sure lying about reasons for going to war would be considered illegal. Not only that, but there's been no "declaration of war" from the Congress. Then again, there hasn't been one of those since December 8, 1941.

    well, the whole world lied with us then....everybody backed it

    consider that TWO things we agree on...

    maybe a third point of agreement...people on the left don't hate America and don't want the terrorists to win...people on the right aren't hatemongering racists....

    kind of screwed up we have to agree on the obvious...at least it's a start!
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    The outrage over Rush's comments is as stupid and worthless as the outrage over the move-on Petraeus ad.

    agreed...b/c both were manufactured by liberals. rush never said what libs think he said. sorry, the era of the left interpreting, instead of listening to what conservatives actually say is over.

    so yes, we agree that the liberal smearing of a four star general and the liberal smearing of a drug-addicted private citizen is stupid!

    Petreus is a tool/liar. I think that was the gist of the MoveOn ad. I don't see partisanship in that. Some of the Republicans at that hearing had the pitiful presence of mind (for lack of a better term) to cry about that rather than focus their questioning on what good this surge was actually doing.

    oh, totally...no partisanship in that...clearly an objective view.

    Oh c'mon, you don't see through the Petreus BS? He's a tool of the neverending war-mongers. Who benefits from the neverending war?

    Oh lemme see...

    I can't think of anyone.

    This is difficult. I'm questioning my logic here.

    I think Petreus may really be a true blue red-blooded American Patriot.

    George Washington never told a lie, either.

    Sheesh.

    What was I thinking?

    replace "picks on" with "listens to"...then yeah, you are spot on!

    I don't follow your thinking here. Could you make it clearer?

    You're being vague. I stand by my previous posts, and you have yet to offer anything in debatable form regarding Iraq, Petreus, the surge, or anything else for that matter.

    Um, I'm sure as hell WE didn't back Iraq, or else we would be in this mess as well.
