I didn't know Dean personally determined the cover of Newsweek. And no, I don't consider Dean promising to take the country back for the people to be on the same level as Bush exploiting September 11 for his own political gain.

jesus...you guys really push my buttons these days...and youve come across this revelation...how?

Brass, I've never been terribly good about arguing my ground and aren't going to start now (especially on someone just as stubborn as I ),

we are a pair of stubborn bastards arent we....**tips hat to brother Lep...speaking of hats....i love this phrase...seriously...

Are you referring to these asshats ...what a visual that conjures up...

....and actually, it occurs to me, when i was going to school in germay back in the early 70's, there were the groups such as the Bader Meinhoff gang etc, bombing s**t for really silly reasons..thats the time frame i had in mind whilst not realizing that was not a good example, prolly before yer time....my mistake....but yes, those kinds of "asshats"... it effected me then, and it bothers me still...and you have been dealing with it alot longer than we have, which is the reason for my "complacency" statement....but it actually predates the IRA "asshats" , if im not mistaken......anyway

maybe i missed something in the translation from english to...um...english....but i dont think ole uncle george is in it for anything other than trying to make the world a better place, even if his methods are f**ked up, which im not saying they are, or are not....

Doc Brass...

btw...did we ever figure out why we have dissappearing "snarkmarks??....i seem to have ...um...."misplaced" about 50....

I think then that I misunderstood impression of your original post - it still does sound offensive to my eyes, but if that wasn\'t the intention, then I apologize. If it was, then eye for an eye; the Cassius bites only when threatened.

I\'m no political scientest, but I know what I saw. The fact that Dean\'s picture was on the magazine had nothing to do with his manipulating it or whatnot - instead, it rather shows how completely ridiculous a scene he was making. Politics is a scene of complete pettiness today, at least for those politicians who are actually winning the elections. It\'s become a science of profit, rather than a science of morality, and I dare you to name one official in Congress or the President\'s cabinet, from any administration, that fought such a die-hard crusade against political corruption as to seriously reform the entire scene, while keeping his own sincerity. I believe that doing so is impossible - somebody who runs for President that\'s even good natured and honorable in life won\'t have a chance to sustain his own morality when put into office - the Commander in Chief is held by too many strings to count.

The Bush administration f**ked up badly. The fact that we now have the power to create real and visible change in the Middle East is awe-inspiring, and the fact that we caught Saddam is an amazing victory.

However, there were obvious ways to execute the entire situation better, and you probably have a good idea of many of them. In particular, he DID often (and wrongly) use 9/11 as a base to jusfity his war, and will play that same card in his reelection. But in NO LESS OF A WAY are the Democrats using the war in Iraq, which is an equal if not greater tradgedy, to propel their own campaigns. We have four hundred Americans and countless Iraqis dead. Obviously, the Administration should be held accountable for their part in creating the war, but ranting graphically about the deaths of Iraqi innocents and American soldiers - and saying that EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM WAS IN VAIN - is something just as disgusting as Bush\'s use of 9/11. That\'s my complaint against the Democrats, really. Both sides need to have some respect and realize what it is they're really dealing with.

I use science in the figurative sense. Politics is a tool to create something positive, sure, but that doesn't degrade it in the least.

well lets see....if we are attacked again, or if the situation arises that we have to go into ANOTHER country, you can bet yer ass and yer housecat the draft would be reinstated in a new york second...security of this country will be determined on other playing fields than at home, bank on it...

I fear for the future of freedom in this country if we have another attack even close to the level of 9/11.

agreed....small steps, and cover our ass at the same time....you have to remember that these folks in the middle east for the most part are still living in the 18th century.....

Correct.

well, if yer a believer in the liberal state of mind, then its inevitable that you will call a turd a tulip....and no, emotion IS a basis for political charging, but not necessarily the smartest one, imho...

Partisan bulls**t in an otherwise good reply.

this is the part of yer comments that frost my ass fully...do yer homework....the guy has no experience in anything other than bashing everyone, including his own party members, hes contradicting himself on a nearly weekly basis, he stumbles under pressure, he lacks foriegn policy skills in any arena....and yet youd follow him because hes \"passionate\"...and \"real\"....you must be kidding...i have this picture of a lemming jumping off a cliff.....be disgusted with whomever you\'d care to, but beware....the republicans are not the enemy....and we are at war....i personally will take a little bit of s**t from a republican president in order to make sure that my child is safe, secure, and able to take care of herself when she is of that age.....here endeth the sermon....

You seem to have missed the "one of many reasons" part. I have done my research on Dean, thank you very much.
