thank the republican regime of the last eight years. defund the government
and then claim 'government is the problem.' the perfect appeal to
knuckleheads like yourself.

what would you call it? purging all non-republicans from the justice
department, censoring any government report that makes the administration
look bad (or just stop issuing reports), political hacks overriding career
civil servants who actually know something about their agency's mission,
operating an employment bureau for god-mad regency 'university' grads?

at least i didn't call them an organized crime syndicate.

Bush was *elected*, blake...I know it ****es you off, but them's the facts.


> at least i didn't call them an organized crime syndicate.


Your "Bush Derangement Syndrome" is showing yet again, blake...you need to
settle down a little bit. There are better uses for your energy, being
****ed at perceived past political malfeasance will turn you bitter pretty
quickly, it's no way to live.

He was re-elected in 2004. The Ohio election might not pass what any
civilized country would call free and fair, but that's an internal
Ohio issue. In 2000, the Supreme Court did what should have been done
by the Congress, and decided the election, albeit with the same
result. The Court should have sent the election to the House, where
the numbers favored Bush. Blake, who is no ally of mine here, was
correct in his critique of GWB's presidency.

Notable is Eric Holder's directive nullifying with prejudice the
conviction of Sen. Stevens. Good chance that he would have eventually
been found guilty, but that's not the standard of justice we hold
ourselves to in the USA. There was clearly prosecutory misconduct on
the part of the Justice Dept. and it sends a message to every
prosecutor that their job is to pursue justice, not conviction. While
you, Gregory, likely admire his voting record, and I despise it, I
think that in light of all that's happened, and Ted Stevens' long
service to Alaska, a bill should be introduced in his name that
Federerally criminalizes prosecutorial misconduct, and provides for
disbarment for those convicted. In addition, the bill should include
mandatory minimum prison sentences for such violation in capital
cases. Do you disagree?

Does anyone out there disagree with the above paragraph? If you do,
please reply.

Oh, Gregory, you are just as mean spirited at times as Blake, though I
have to admit seldom as much as me.

The underlying economic system that apportions what money is actually
one person's or another's shifts. Extreme Socialism shrinks the pie.
Extreme Capitalism gives nothing but crust to those at the bottom, and
leads back to a neo-Feudal economic system, as in robberbaronism. Ayn
Rand has been pretty well discredited, and her disciple, Alan
Greenspan, has at least partially repented. Whodathunkit?

the second time, yes. the first was a 'good this one time only' coupon
courtesy of the supreme court.

i forgot to add, it doesn't matter if he was elected or not - his
administration was a complete fiasco, turning everything he touched into
shit.
