Bush is incompetent for not preventing 9/11. Bush is a warmonger for trying to prevent another 9/11 from Iraq.
Bush is incompetent for not dealing unilaterally with North Korea. Bush is incompetent for dealing unilaterally with Iraq. Bush is incompetent for not invading Iran to stop their nuclear program. Bush is incompetent for invading Iraq to stop their nuclear program.

=== It was, as you say, "idling", NOT AN IMMINENT THREAT! ===
Exactly. Are you trying to make a point? Bush made it very clear he wanted to take Iraq out BEFORE they became an imminent threat. Which part of his State of the Union speech where he explicitly said that did you not understand?
Wikipedia is probably the most unreliable source for information you can find. Try looking something up in a reputable source, instead.
We have found Iraq's WMD program. It was extensive. It was idled pending lifting of the sanctions. What we did not find were large quantities of WMD. According to liberals, Sarin gas is not a WMD find unless it can kill more than 40,000 people, so the Sarin we have found doesn't qualify.
Also, according to liberals, Iraq's massive stockpiling of chemical warfare suits was just the popular Iraqi army fashion at the time of the invasion.
Because, of course, we all know that Diebold was allowed to manufacture the voting machines, write the software and set up the vote tabulation systems without any government oversight or any adherence to Federal Elections laws at all, that no audits were done, and that all government regulations concerning contracting sensitive software were completely ignored, because, well, you know, Bush was selected King by the Supreme Court in 2000. But, you see, he's a really stupid king because he held an election anyway and only won 289 electoral college votes and squeaked a bare majority in the popular vote despite being King and having all the voting machine companies in his back pocket.
The Indians first encountered in North and South America by colonists were NOT tribal. The Aztec Empire, the Iroquois Five Nations and the Pohantan were powerful civilizations in their own rights.
The Aztec were bloody and brutal (the Spaniards conquered them so easily because lots of surrounding Indian nations pitched in their eager help). The Iroquois were master politicians who successfully played the British and French against each other for over a hundred years, and the Pohantan were trade warriors, exercising power by keeping secret their knowledge of the New England waterways (it was the main reason they were upset with John Smith; they were afraid he was discovering their water ways and would sell the information to the Iroquois.)
The "tribal" Indians were the nomadic peoples in the great plains and the desert southwest and the small communities of the Pacific Northwest.
Your condescending attitude aside, only one of us is speaking from ignorance it would appear, cloaking it in sophistry and rhetoric.
Just drop the stuff in an ocean trench and let it get subducted into the crust. It can come out in 100,000 years as part of a vocanic eruption like most other radioactive gases in the atmosphere.
Anyone who thinks the American Indians were a universally "nice" people living in some sort of "one with nature" utopia needs to lay off the kool-aid.
They were and are humans just like everyone else and suffered from the same vices, power struggles, warfare and savagery as every other example of humanity throughout history.

45 million uninsured Americans is propaganda to get you to think with your emotions instead of your brain, and you fell for it. Medicare and medicaid take care of the children and pregnant women who don't have other insurance, and people can buy catastrophic policies to cover hospitalization and surgery.
Embryonic stem cell research is not being funded on the federal level. It's not banned at all. California will be doing research on the state level. Adult stem cell research is alive and vibrant, and produces many medicines being used today. You just fell for another propaganda attack, and also showed us that even though you may be a doctor, you sure don't know much about the state of medical stem cell research.

1. Employers are required to give you two hours to vote on company time. 2. Representative government is not about convenience, it's about freedom. I only want people serious enough about their franchise to sacrifice for the privilege voting. Lazy people are lazy voters and vote stupid and uninformed. 3. Elections officials are not slashdot geeks. Source code accessibility is stupid. The machines are physically secured. It's the vote tabulation software than is the weak point. 11.By this point your fading credibility has died. There was no minority vote suppression or disenfranshisement, which fact is easily provable by asking one simple question: Where is the list of names of minority's disenfranchised?
The U.S. system of checks and balances takes care of all this already. The president needs to get majority votes in both Senate and House to get bills passed. The House and Senate can override vetos. The House and Senate can impeach and convict a sitting president.
A parliamentary system is foundationally different from our representative government. A Prime Minister is not a president, per se. He's the chosen leader of the majority government (usually formed by a coalition of parties in the elected assemblies.)
A vote of no confidence can result in many things. It can cause the fall of the government, in which case national elections are held, a new government formed and a new prime minister selected by that government, or it could simply result in the ruling government selecting a new prime minister. The specifics vary depending on the particular forms of parliamentary government the country has.
You do realize, of course that the reason the 3/5th person clause was put into the Constitution was to weaken the power of the Slave holding states. Representatives are apportioned by population, and electors for presidential elections equal representatives plus senators for the state.
By making a slave count as 3/5th of a person, you have weakened the federal power of a slave holding state.
It was a very clever move, actually, to limit slave state federal power. If they could have gotten away with it, I'm sure the Free states would have had a slave not count at all.
Note that the clause referred to slaves, not blacks. Free blacks in the north and the south counted as full persons.

Actually, government derives power by having the problem, not by solving the problem. With government in charge, no problem is ever solved.
Gasoline is much less explosive than hydrogen. Only the vapor burns. You can put a match out in a pail of gasoline.

The narrowest margin possible in a two-way race is one vote. Four million is slightly more than one, even using Louis Farakhan's Million Man Math.
Of course, a disconnect from reality is a liberal litmus test, so your rant is not at all surprising.
