Duchess Jack Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Not factual in any way...show me the thread. He started the attacks not me. BJ's worst contribution on this board is better and more reliable than many people's best contribution. If he said the post was from 2007 - it was from 2007. Period.

bpwallace49 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I would rather be governed by the first 500+ folks on the Social Security list than the current group of thieves and worse. Â If by "current" you mean the last 30+ years of presidents and congressmen combined, then I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 when I saw this headline, I knew something had to be up. tacking the entire pentagon budget onto the requests for the wars in iraq and afghanistan? that is just utter disingenuousness, to put it mildly. that's like saying the cost of the iraq war under bush was like $3 trillion -- though I HAVE heard disingenuous lefties making that argument, it's just as hollow and stupid every time, regardless of who makes it.

Ursa Majoris Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 that's like saying the cost of the iraq war under bush was like $3 trillion This number is bandied around as the total long-term cost of the wars, rather than the total to date. The word "was" in the quote above should be replaced by "will be" and there's a basis for discussion. Clearly the two wars combined so far are nowhere close to $3 trillion.

jaxfactor Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) It isn't just the right. We dealt with the same crap from the left for years during the Bush admin. In my opinion it is the polarization that is killing us. Right wants anything the Repubs throw against the wall to stick and same for the Left. Maybe it is just me but, things don't seem to be getting better no matter how much each side bashes the other. The really sad part is that at the end of the day all these politicians probably get together and laugh at the American public for being so damn gullible. Â A voice of reason speaks. As long as this country remains divided, we'll continue our path to the proverbial sh*thole. Throwing money(that we don't have) at a problem does not solve it. The repubs and dems are like two chicks fighting. The terrorists are watching and laughing at every biatch slap. The catch 22 here is that we simply have to spend money if we are to fight terrorism. But how long will this go on? Â I feel badly for the younger generations as I can't help but think that one day they'll be eating rice and speaking Chinese as that country owns us right now. But hey, let's throw more money out there. Let's call our big bank(China) and get another bazillion dollar loan. Â UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL Â Â eta: FWIW, when it comes to defending this great country of ours, there is no price tag. But please, let's do it with a little more wisdom instead of just assf*cking the goat.

Duchess Jack Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL No doubt - as a country we spend all of our time arguing about the 5% - 10% of things we disagree all while pissing away the 90%-95% of things we do agree on. Â Imagine if all the time politicians invested in running spin and counter spin (including all their time on cable news and talk radio) were actually used to get work done?

I don't think anyone is hanging off of anyone elses nuts here. You admitted to screwing up and have your timing wrong by a bit. Most of us that have been around for a while remember enough about the exchange to find it hard to take your side on anything. Even something as simple as the timing. I'm sorry but you lost all credibility during that argument with most if not all of the regulars here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are some of the things that will add to the eventual grand total. There's probably a lot more. It amazes me how lightly war is taken by some people. You'd think we as a species would have figured it out by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
