Daily Kos is indeed a very partisan site. And in this case, the poster of the diary publicizing this is right. Why should the corporate-owned big media be the gatekeeper of what is and is not important for the American public to know? Seems to me that one of their own (ABC / Disney) is the guilty party in this case, so they might not want to condemn one of their own.
The President was legally required to present to Congress the evidence that Iraq was an imminent threat to US security within three days of commencing hostilities, according to the legislation that gave him the authority you mention.
Should I read your reply as a tacit approval of the indefinite detention, torture and murder of prisoners without trial, or just a desire to ignore important issues and split hairs?
A school should prepare a person to think. If you come out of school not being able to figure out how to use MS Office programs, you shouldn't be using a computer.
The lazy corporate media in the U.S. is cowed by the government and less interested in investigation than it is in investigating whose cocktail parties they're getting to attend. Many bloggers have worked hard to get to the bottom of real stories. Unfortunately, many others have simply spread lies and FUD.
Oh, that makes total sense. Iraq said it had weapons to intimidate its neighbor, and our President and his "advisors" decided to take their word for it!
I'm a practicing Catholic as well, and I don't see what Giuliani had a problem with. Then again, I never cheated on my wife, so I never had the opportunity to bring my mistress to my home.
Do your traditional values include hating fags, or deficit spending, or warmongering? I'm confused. But then, maybe I'm just of below average intelligence.
While voting machines have the ABILITY for a receipt, the state of Florida has not REQUIRED manufacturers to produce receipts for the votes. Instead, they chose to CHANGE STATE LAW that required the ability to perform a recount. And you believe that this is a benign change?
Voting is not about convenience. It's not a commercial endeavor. It's the way that we are supposed to be able to select our government. The overwhelming motivations should be accuracy and security. Throwing millions of dollars at proprietary systems that have demonstrated numerous flaws is more than foolish; it's dangerous.

Accept no substitutes.
Do they have oil?
Sure. Not for the Republicans in Florida. Or for the Republicans in Ohio.
It's not 1960 anymore.

It's been three years.
Mexico?! Well, then, we need to build a wall to keep them out!

Nothing but IOUs? I realize that it means nothing to the Republicons in office, but we in the general public expect people to pay their debts.
You're funny.
The only difference between a lot of cops and crooks is that they chose to get paid BY THE PUBLIC to carry guns and bully people.

Easy. Corporate American media didn't pass along information to the morons, Puritans and greedheads that voted for him.
Sales taxes are regressive. We've already had enough of the shifting of tax burdens off of the wealthy and onto the poor.
Let's just all PRAY to understand the mysteries of the universe! Faith-based science!

Because the Bushista regime isn't open about ANYTHING.

I didn't know they had access to the Internets down there.
I don't know what you mean! The Bush case for WMD was strong! Just like the one for privatizing Social Security in order to save it!

St. Rudy, my ass.
Benefits will be cut if you vote in the people who are likely to cut them.
That's rich.
