I wish you would get a clue Eric, and the rest of you too. Read this slow. Virtually all of the talking heads in Washington are charlatans. It is just a matter of degree. Bush and company are no different than the liars you put your trust in '92, they say one thing with a completely different result in mind. It doesn't matter if we are talking about Clinton, Bush, McCain or Byrd. The more emmeshed, the less they can be trusted, but we Americans, tend toward selective memory instead of a steady unforgiving outrage that leads to action, and I can't fathom the reason aside from a biblical one like: the way of the fool is right in his own eyes.

I am always amused/bemused that whether leftist or rightist, that each side can have so many pieces right but can't agree and still can't fill in the blanks, especially the fact that the average American is being bent over by their government. Which said fucking is still in the foreplay portion of the program(meaning the climax is yet to come). (hope you got some hard goods with your stock gains Pat, what with the dollar rapidly losing value - btw, which it will never regain).

Can you say: debtor nation?

Consider going to miami.com and do a Terry Schiavo search for more information than the radio/tv talking points most of you are repeating. One of the details you might find is that the cognitive area of her brain has deteriorated and that space has been replaced with spinal fluid.

My take:

Terri shouldn't be starved to death. If her parents want to pay her way to live, let them. If it is decided she should die because there is in fact no hope of recovery, it's a shame she can't be killed softly(injected with something lethal) because otherwise it would lead to a euthanasia precedent.

Bush, who is decidedly 'not' a born again christian, but is pandering to desperately deceived born agains and the remainder of religious/tradionalist right(by dropping in, "we must error on the side of LIFE"). fucking shyster playin' the marks

Can you say: empty rhetoric? but it sounds so good the masses cry

Another reason is that the stage is being set for a massive backlash against Christians. The so-called religious right may have participated in his election but they will be the only ones blamed when that wave rolls back in from the tsunami that's coming. Also this huge 'compassionate' smoke screen is for keeping the news/talkers from reporting what a desperate situation our nation is actually in: illegal immigration, monetary devaluation, rampant illiteracy(the associated stupidity, scheesh;), an undeclared war, mock terrorism, and Hell throw a couple of your own logs on the fire there's plenty of meaningful mismanagement to go around. And assuredly, Bush and company are also attempting to set a precedent for something yet to come. Not certain what it is, but I have no doubt that when the time comes, the Dems will be happy to play that card if need be. COMPARE and CONTRAST people, THEY ARE MORE ALIKE THAN DIFFERENT.

I wish people would wake up to the fact that all this do gooder nonsense that has swollen our government(s) to unsustainable sizes, is just so that the pols can be big shots at our expense while living in the lap of luxury themselves. And oh yeah! to destroy the most liberal(in the freedom of conscience realm, not l/r) nation in the history of the world. While most of you are thinking, 'destroy America, the greatest country in the world; nah!!! couldn't happen here...yadi yada yadi yada... - ) We're on the verge of being the United States of the AMERICA'S. When that happens the US Constitution will be put to rest permanently. Which, if the math is too hard for ya, will take the Bill of Rights with it.

Live or die, Terry Schiavo is not the point of this present political firestorm of the airwaves; and next to no one will remember her name a year from now; she's a tool, just like we are to those far away politicians. I mean, most of you can't comprehend that Human Resources is absolutely truth in advertising.

Onto more deaf ears...

PS Nothing personal, you're all probably the finest of folks but...

I mean,

Pat saying he's a republican and supporting this spendthrift internationalist socialist Bush. What the fuck is conservative about Bush Pat? And what is Christian about him, if you don't mind me asking?

And why don't you like Bush Eric? He's growing government like a mad man! Just not the unsustainable portions you approve of I suppose?!?

(...I ask, while not expecting a response from any of you;)
