Maybe I should have been a bit more specific. Special interest such as Big Oil, Big Pharma, defense contractors, repo men, credit counselors & post-bubble real estate speculators don't count.

How about telling us all how wonderfull it was having Clinton in command. MOM, he's looking at me. NO I'm not. Yes, you are. See where this is going? DUH

well, say what you want, but ole Bush has gotten rid of one hell of a bunch of Arabs.

Oldvamp,
I am not a Clinton fan but it did seem nice having a surplus...and I would take dealing with Oval Office BJ's over wars any day.

Abunia,
I learned something today! The Patriot Act did have 1 positive aspect I guess. Just be careful what you say in your emails.
I have to defer to you on FISA. If he improved foriegn intel thats great.
Not to sure how much I would brag about the housing market right now even though the problems are not IMO from Bush.
Only 1 attack but it was a big one!!! Maybe there is something to be said for the "fight them over there" distraction method of dealing with terrorist. Unless of course you are one of the Americans doing the fighting (and dying).
I just hope there is no oil of the Hawaiian coast.
Lybia? Gaddafi? Is that old camel turd still alive? I thought old Uncle Ronnie taught him a lesson when he sent some Sidewinders into his tent. And Iraq...I won't even go there.
Stem cells. The "new ground" is broken in spite of, not because of Bush. Embryotic has yet to pan out because it does requires research. For you or anyone else to say that it will not yield anything is very premature to say the least. Really though it might not be a bad idea not to spend the $$$ on it. Lets just wait for the Koreans, British, German, ect... researchers to make the break-thrus then we can copy their technology like they have been doing to us all these years. Damn, that Dubayu is a forward thinker after all!
If it were up to me I would cut taxes even further and on the flip side I wou

Whether or not this is true..it is my opinion. Yes we had a surplus during the Clinton rein, but could it be, because the republicans paved the way to that surplus, and the Clintons were riding the coat-tails so to speak? And what "good" exactly did Clinton bring to the American people? I seem to recall being attacked..many times, and the disgrace of his under-the-desk antics. And how about that healthcare issue?
Justa wondering........

Perscription Drugs: While the program in place is not perfect, again... its better than sitting around and just talking about it for decades like Democrats have done. It takes a leader to "walk the walk" too. That also goes to national defense! The world now knows that when we say we are going to do something.. we do it, and if its not working out as planned, then a true leader takes the lumps, alters the course, and makes it better!

Far better cry than what Clinton ever did! At least the bad guys know we are NOT afraid to engage now, and blood spilled while tragic, we are NOT afraid! OBL called Clinton on his unwillingness to sacrafice and it emboldened them to attack more!

How many attacks happend while we gave all the terrorist their 4th ammendment rights? We have stopped at least 6 or 7 attempts since 9/11 (that we are allowed to know about) and no credit given! Instead we cry about it because Democrats don't like being shown where they were DEAD WRONG!

....and as for those trying to get into the USA you are right. We still have things better than most. Though I have heard many Mexicans have left for home with the declining economy here. I guess thats one way to get rid of them! I guess I am the exception because my goal is to leave the US when I retire splitting time between Switzerland and the Seychelles.

ALL those examples you speak to come from NON-embryo stem cells. Being a nursing student means I know EXACLTY what is going on, and you are glazing over the fact that embryo research is not comming up with anything. I also understand the political game of grant money as well...

That zygote you speak to in alot of Americans is considered life. A newborn would not survive either if you left it just sitting either. Your petri dish defense to many is quite offensive, and illustrates a self-serving agenda.

American version of christanity? Only in America can you even make such a comment anyways..

As to the war the SINGLE BIGGEST MISTAKE was Clinton refusing to engage for 8 years, and allowing the problem to fester! Again, liberals took Gen.Frank's banner of "Mission Accomplished" and put a spin to it. It was even explained by him, and then libs had to let it go else just look stupid. Just as they had to let go the WMD issue after the media was unable to silence all the evidence that was pouring in.

Interesting that you take the stand on cancer and 100 years with not much to show for it, yet speak to continued research and work. How is it you can't apply just 10 years to our energy (oil) issues then?

You see.. this is what we get when liberals operate with NO CORE. All over the place, can't apply any principle position to more than one issue....
