» Lawhawk - Re: Re: Another government decision?
In response to message posted by Fred2000:"The decision to stop or reduce coverage on high risk flights can be taken two ways - one is that they are still being staffed and figure this might be a way to smoke out additional AQs or that the risk of additional terrorist attacks isn't as great as hyped in the media." Lawhawk... You're just making up reasons without an iota of substantiating evidence.
It's an opinion. Can't tell the difference between facts and opinions?

» Lawhawk - Re: The clowns
In response to message posted by Fred2000:How is this a mockery of the democratic process? There's a law on the books for a recall, the republicans are taking advantage of it, and there are more candidates who want to run for Governor as a result, than is possible under a 2-party controlled system.
Seems like you're lacking any facts, logic, or substance to back up your assertion.

» Fred2000 - Young Republican's party plan crashes
.An aide to Orange County Executive Edward Diana is under fire after he and his friends invited some of the nation's brightest Young Republicans to what was advertised as a booze-soaked sex bash in Boston.
The controversy surrounding Diana's 24-year-old staff assistant, Karl Brabenec, started at the Young Republicans national convention July 11, when his friends distributed fliers "for lots of beer, liquor and sex" at a party dubbed, "Karlpalooza '03."
Since then, copies of the incriminating invites have surfaced in Orange County, prompting cries of disgust from women's groups, county legislators and fellow Republicans.
The furor reached a fever pitch yesterday as Diana asked Brabenec to step down as president of the Orange County Young Republicans, while letting him keep his $38,789-a-year staff job.

» Fred2000 - Bush's press conference
.President's remarks bear little resemblance to reality
There were two microphones in front of President Bush Wednesday as he staged a rare press conference in the White House Rose Garden. Good thing. There was a lot of doublespeak.
On two major issues - national security and the economy - the president claimed victories that are far from proven, and may be phantom.
He described his compendium of tax cuts as a successful "job creation program" despite a national rise in unemployment from 4.1 to 6.4 percent and a net loss of 2.5 million nonfarm jobs during his tenure, and a precipitous plunge from government surpluses to growing deficits. And he asserted once again that evidence of weapons of mass destruction will surface in Iraq - given more time.
The predominant argument for a preemptive strike against Iraq was that Saddam was not just a threat, but an imminent threat. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice put a catchy phrase to that charge when she argued that the White House didn't "want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud." The administration's consistent argument was that Iraq was either able to, or on the verge of being able to, deploy horrendous weapons - or give them to terrorists who would.
For that matter, evidence of links between Saddam's secular tyranny and the terrorism of al-Qaida, which is fueled by Islamic fundamentalism, still is scant.
And the president's proper acceptance of responsibility for the now-debunked claim voiced in his State of the Union address - that British intelligence had learned of efforts by Iraq to buy uranium in Africa - doesn't mask the fact that, intentionally or not, the American people were misled.

In response to message posted by collguy:"Limbaugh could play the part of the big fat guy that pukes on the Dean Wormer's desk."
collguy... I think Limbaugh is up to the requirements for the part. Perhaps we could get him to use a stage name like Ken Tennedy or Newt Bringabitch.

» Fred2000 - Supporting a ban on gay marriage
."I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman, and I think we ought to codify that one way or the other. I am mindful that we're all sinners, and I caution those who may try to take the speck out of the neighbors eye when they got a log in their own."

.Roger Simon: What accounts for President Bush's current popularity?
Howard Dean: I think people like the president. I like the president.
Roger Simon: You do?
Howard Dean: Yeah, I do. He's an engaging person, but I think for some reason he's been captured by the neoconservatives around him.
