David Boaz, Cato Institute, gives * a C- ! C-SPAN
Says Iraq war was a mistake!!

Bill Sammon, Washington Examiner, counters by saying on major issues there's not much daylight between * and conservatives. Claims * is only having a problem with second tier issues.

The discussion is called "Republican Party & pResident bush".

1. There's something fundamentally wrong...
with a society when it can look at Iraq today, register the innocents and troops killed, a country devastated, generations lost... and some a$$hole says the war was a mistake. A boo-boo.

No it wasn't a mistake. The war is the intentional murder of Iraqis and troops for oil.

9. You are right. The war was not a mistake,
They meant to have war on Iraq, and they did. A failure, yes. A mistake, no.

And *'s presidency has not been a failure. Bad for the country, yes. A failed agenda, no.

* has accomplished most of what he set out to do. His only big failure so far is Social Security.

11. I'm in total agreement with you.
* owns his agenda. And he has not failed with the exception of SS.

People need to get that drilled into their heads before the 2006 elections.

2. Sammon's With The Moonie Times
and a major stenographer/apologist. This oxygen thief makes my skin crawl.

Now he claims not only that fukstick "won" the 2000 election, but it was CBS's fault that the count was stopped or booosh's "margin of victory" would have been greater. What a revisionist and deserves to be exposed for the fraud he is.

3. Fascist Friday has moved to Tuesday - Sammon from Moonie Times

Edited on Tue Mar-14-06 08:47 AM by FLDem5
the idiot on Washington Journal just said that if Florida hadn't been called for Gore too early, at least HALF A MILLION voters would have gone out and voted for Bush and he would have won the popular vote.

I am going to tear my hair out.

FWIW - he also said the Times has no connection to Moon.

8. I love how they can't count the actual votes...
but they can predict the phantom ones from people so disinterested in politics that they supposedly went home early without bothering with other races.
Noticed that he also slipped in the claim that Rather forged the awol documents instead of being the receipient of documents that might not have been forged.
People who look so reasonable when they lie are very valuable to Bushco.

4. Boaz--Public education is a form of welfare.
Did anyone else hear that from him?

5. NOLA shouldn't get any federal funds for rebuilding either
but Iraq should.

Why are these people allowed to be in front of a microphone.

10. Which just goes to show that the enemy of our enemy
isn't necessarily our friend! What a nutcase.
