vote the same. The republicans could have all voted against it too and won with just a few democrat or independent votes. What is your point? The majority is 1 in the Senate and 12? in the House. My independent senator for one did vote against it.

thankfully
we are still living in a country that allows us our opinion. She doesnt need to go anywhere. If you dont like what she has to say on this board, as is her freedom, dont read it. You are jibberish. I for one support what her posts says and it would be only too good to have the rest of the country on board, then we wouldnt be living in this mess.
Thankfully, I didn't have to
visit their board to see it. I saw the entire interview when it was aired, and I agree 100% with your take on it.
Even SHE admitted that the Iraqis were very concerned over the IEDs killing people every day.
His points, I thought, were excellent, and he totally blew her out of the water. He said we're making more enemies than we're killing and that reporters like her are fed information and basically taken on a tour.
I'm inclined to take the word of a soldier who was personally in the trenches, fighting this war firsthand for a year over a reporter with an agenda taken on a tour by the DOD.
I think Chris Matthews' question about the "fighting zeal" of the "bullies" over there and whether they're eventually going to gain control was a very good question.
I think the big difference between the insurgents and our soldiers is that zeal. I believe we have the best soldiers in the entire world, and I believe they are doing the best job they can possibly do under such extreme circumstances, but they're doing their job, whereas the insurgents are consumed by their obsession to kill and be killed themselves. The IEDs and the accompanying the element of surprise are only experienced by American troops, Iraqi civilians and ONE suicide bombe. The insurgents, many times, hold the cards because they control the element of surprise in their attacks and because they're trying to DIE for their cause, while everyone else is trying to LIVE.
And, of course, we have the article above describing how we've lowered our goals, "...shedding the unreality that dominated from the beginning."
I agreed with Paul Reickhoff when he said we should send in more troops. We need to bombard them and get this done and over with and then get out of there, and we should have done that a long time ago. We can't send our troops home now. We've destroyed their entire country. I hope we can at least leave them with the running water and electricity they had BEFORE we decided to "make life better" for them.
But Bush can't get away now with moving the goal post once again, changing the reason and "mission" yet one more time so that we can take credit for "giving them" (back) what they basically had before we demolished their country, unprovoked.
sheep
At the end we are all sheep. divided into
Obama sheeples
and
McCain sheeples.
or
GP sheeples
and
Sam sheeples
Go, Obama GP sheeples!
if we were all sheep we would be voting for another
duh
Have you talked to the sheep? sm
If not, you don't have a substantial argument that beastiality is cruelty to animals.
And yes, homosexuality does hurt people. It hurts parents and siblings and husbands and wives and children whose child or sibling or spouse or mother or father suddenly decides to come out of the closet. Or do their feelings not count?
looks like a bunch of sheep to me living in USA..sm
hmmmmm....? Just because everyone is voting for Barack doesn't make any of it right - they all are bad candidates to some of us......
blechhhhhhhhhhhhh
JMO.........no flames required......
You should know. Obama sheep are pathetic.

Sheep Alert! Oh-baaaaaaaaaaaa-ma!
lol at u!
You both are absolutely right. Sheep(le) will follow each
other right over the cliff and we are heading that way quickly. If it was happening in another country people here would wonder why the citizens are so dense; not here, they just hear the mantra of change, hope and promises (that cannot be kept) and are so addicted the first time they hear it they don't take the time to educate themselves about the possible ramifications until it is too late.
Sheep with flock mentality.

The sheep are supporting Obama because of his

Sheep, parrots and horses with blinders on. Oh well, nothing

DITTO that......a wolf in sheep's clothing

It never ceases to amaze me of the sheep in this world.

The wolf will come out of his sheep's clothing if he gets elected...
and all his little sheeple followers will finally see him for what he is.
Harriet Miers: Antonin Scalia in sheep's clothing
Harriet Miers: Antonin Scalia in sheep's clothing
October 11, 2005
By nominating Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, President Bush has put forth a total unknown. A blank slate. A cipher. Not even the president knows where she stands on the issues because he never asked her.
That's what the White House wants you to think. Don't you believe it.
Of course, if you listen to most conservatives, Harriet Miers is as dangerous as a card-carrying member of the ACLU. I'm disappointed, depressed and demoralized, huffed the Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol. Her qualifications for the Supreme Court are nonexistent, puffed former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan.
Nonsense.
Make no mistake about it. This decision is too important. Replacing William Rehnquist with John Roberts was a wash. It's this appointment, to fill the shoes of swing-vote Sandra Day O'Connor, that will determine the future direction of the Supreme Court. Karl Rove never would have let George Bush nominate Miers if he didn't know she agreed with Bush on every issue.
It's not hard to figure out how Bush decided on Miers. If elected president, he promised in 2000, he would appoint to the Supreme Court justices like extreme conservatives Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas. John Roberts didn't fit the bill, so Bush knew he had to deliver this time around. But he also knew any one of the names on the conservatives' wish list -- Michael Luttig, Edith Jones or Janice Rogers Brown -- would stir up a firestorm in the Senate, which Bush wanted to avoid.
So Bush came up with Plan B, as brilliant as it is diabolical: Nominate someone who is every bit as conservative as Luttig, Jones or Brown, privately, but who is a complete mystery, publicly. And that's Harriet Ellan Miers. The perfect stealth candidate. Antonin Scalia in sheep's clothing.
In case you still harbor any doubts about her right-wing credentials, here's final proof. After four days of complaints from the far right, Karl Rove got on the phone to leading conservatives, starting with James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family. Rove convinced him to support Miers, Dobson confirmed, by giving him confidential information on her religious beliefs. Miers, like Bush, is an evangelical Christian.
Notice how the White House plays the religion card both ways. It was wrong for Democrats to raise the fact John Roberts is a Catholic, they argued, just one month ago.
Notice also what their doing so tells us about Harriet Miers. She's a soul mate of James Dobson, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. She's anti-choice, anti-stem cell research, anti-separation of church and state, pro-school prayer and pro-teaching intelligent design in public-school science classes. She's way out of the mainstream.
So what are Democrats waiting for? They know enough about Miers already to merit all-out opposition -- including the filibuster, if necessary. And they'd better act fast.
If Harriet Miers is confirmed, we'll be yearning for the good old days of moderate William Rehnquist.

Who you callin' sheep? WE aren't part of the Obama flock which is why
you blast the tea parties and try to downplay their significance. The sentiment behind the tea party is that we shouldn't be part of any flock! We should be thinking on our own. We shouldn't hide behind party lines and blindly follow our politicians to our ruin, republican or democrat!
Geez, talk about totally blind. If it doesn't have a big fat O stamped on it, you won't listen. Just a bunch of freaking robots.... O rhetoric goes in and nothing relevant comes out! I thought you lefties were "intellectuals" and "free thinkers." Now you're just Obama groupies clinging to his empty promise of hope and change! Grow a brain! Exercise your brain cells and THINK!
