Budget: The Democrats tried to force some fiscal restraint on Bush on the famous 87 billion vote. Dems were ready to support the money spent if Bush had removed the tax cut to the top 1% of the most wealthy to pay for it. Bush refused and threated to veto that 87 billion in defense spending funding if any of the tax cuts that were only going to the top tax bracket were removed
Foreign Policy: Do some reading. Libya happened becasue Khadafi had a ludicrous fantasy about Libya hosting the World Cup that was scheduled to be held in Africa, and was awarded to South Africa. Khadafi's son plays pro soccer in Europe, and Khadafi had strange visions of his son returning home to play the World Cup in Libya. anyway, to have his bid have a remote chance in hell, Khadafi had to get in compliance regarding international law.
Case of truth being stranger than fiction.
Education: Bush signed the No Child Left Behind bill with Kennedy, then refused to spend the money budgeted the bill by Congress. The money is still sitting there and the bill's provisions are not being followed by Bush.
Jobs: Nice try. Clinton created 23 million jobs during his presidency, and Clinton had the lowest unemployment rate since WW2. Bush has lost more jobs than any President since Hoover.
No, the refs were right, and the replays showed it. The replays were run on ESPN after the game. The replays showed the player was not set, and all the ESPN commentators agreed.
Repeat after me: THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT DID NOT ORDER A PARTIAL RECOUNT. The FLORIDA SUPREME COURT ordered the entire state be recounted. The US Supreme Court order the recount of THE ENTIRE STATE OF FLORIDA stopped.
Too bad little details like the actual facts involved get in your way.
This just goes to show the neo-cons cannot handle the truth. When presented the truth, neo-cons sream and stick their fingers in their ears and pretend the truth doesn't exist.
The videotapes exist and show the explosives were there in the bunkers at Al QaQWaa when the 101st Airfborne Division went there. The seals from the international inspection agency were intact.
Modding me down for stating the truth will not change the fact that Bush allowed those explosives to be looted after the invasion of Iraq.
Wrong. More neo-con spin. There is only one scenario that the Florida State Supreme Court considered. Counting all the votes statewide.
Gore also won Florida when all the votes in Florida were counted by the newspapers after the election by the standards the FLA Sup Ct. had ordered and the US Supreme Ct. ordered stopped.
Pointing to various Bush/Gore campaign strategies is pointless, becasue the FLA Sup Ct. never ordered any of the campaign strategies. The FLA Sup Ct. ordered all the votes in FLA counted. The US Supreme Ct. stopped that and prevented the votes from being counted and appointed Bush President.
No, the Florida State Supreme Court ordered all ballots in Florida counted. Contrary to popular neo-con spin, all the ballots in Florida never were allowed to be conted.
The US supreme Court order ballot counting stopped before all the ballots were counted. Bush was appointed after the GOP prevented Florida from ever knowing the total votes cast totals.
Everyone has seen the video tape of the explosives sitting in the bunkers in Al QaQaa from the reporters imbedde with the 101st Infantry Division.
Again, the neo-cons yell, but, but, but, why are you going to believe evidence you see on TV with your lying eyes when you can believe totally uncorroborated spin with no evidence supporting it whatsoever?
But, but, but, France believed Iraq had WoMD... but, but, but, just because the White House lawyer typed a memo approving of torture by US forces, it doesn't meant the White House approved of torture...but, but, but...
We were busy in Baghdad, so the US forces kinda gave up the explosives there in Al Qaqaa. They wouldn't have stolen the explosives if we thought those explosives really counted, provided the British and Iraqi defense forces kept their act together.
Because I wasted good money on a game that was "well-reviewed," but ended up suckage. The game is terrible, and there is no way for people to find that out other than through message boards like this. The reviews are either bought and paid for, or are so focused on eye candy, that they don't notice game play is terrible.
There have been cash generation exploits since day one. They've never ben able to get rid of them. Many of those huge stashes of cash are from knowing the right way to press the bank terminal button and jump or position yourself just right.
I've never seen SWG (and most other MMORPGs, for that matter) summed up so well in so few words. I want to game my experience from SF novels and books in MMORPGs. You can't. MMORPGs are generally designed for all the non-heros in a society that will never have an effect of the grand storyline. MMORPG characters have no chance of ever affecting a storyline.
You know the part where the IRS investigator orders you to produce all your paycheck stubs and receipts for the last seven years, and you have to look through every single piece of paper in your whole house? And when you finally get all those boxes of documents together, the IRS investigator tells you that he really investigating a totally different Tom Johnson?
Yeah, lots of endless tedious repetitious tasks that end up being done for no reason. Fun like that!
Neo-conservatives desperately want people to believe politics is always a disagreement of two opinions.
In actuality, facts (knowledge that can be proven through the scientific method) are just as often a part of polictical discussions as opinions are.
It has been the neo-conservative agenda since the birth of the movement to change the political discussion so that provable facts are treated with no more respect or validity than a statement of opinion or belief.
As a result, at the extremes of the discussion, we have situations like Creationism being taught as a science. But we also have situations like the complete lack any evidence of WoMD in Iraq being displayed as a partisan talking point. The demonstratable lack of WoMD is not an opinion. It's a fact backed by evidence of countless investigators attempts to find them. Bush said US national security was under an imminent threat by the Saddam Hussein government from WoMD. There were no WoMD. If there was no WoMD, there is no imminent threat to US national security by Saddam Hussein. That means that the reasons given by Bush for invading Iraq were false. That is not an opinion. That is a fact.
Political discourse in the US is on the verge of critical failure due to the neo-con agenda of treating facts and fact-based evidence having no greater weight or relevance than someone's statement of opinion.

Let's get the future Veep school in on this.
There's got to be some sort of sign when the whole freaking state of Florida loses football games on the weekend before an election.
UNC over Miami? I'm sure that's in Revelations somewhere
...and points are taken off the scoreboard for the Packers, and the Packer were never allowed to have possession of the ball again..."
Sounds like Cheney rationalizing the lack of WoMD in Iraq.
You neo-cons rationalize ANYTHING.
We were busy in Baghdad, so the US forces kinda gave up the explosives there in Al Qaqaa. They wouldn't have stolen the explosives if we thought those explosives really counted, provided the British and Iraqi defense forces kept their act together.
The score was 28 to 14 Packers.
Just like the Redskins were caught trying to cheat the rules and failed on the play in question.
What was the final score? Packers 28 Redskins 14
What is a Touchdown worth? 6 points + PAT.
Now, the neo-cons are claiming a call on one touchdown prevented them from winning.
Looks like the neo-cons their touchdowns are worth 15 points.

I think you nailed it.
Some people enjoy getting root canal procedures done. Some people like Slim Whitman records.

Who cares what it looks like if the game is unplayable?
If I want only eye candy, I'll go see an IMAX movie.... or even better. I'll go out and look at some real scenery.
Call me after a few of the teams can get cars out of the parking lot at the starting line.
