yep... that's how it works... problem is though, rebby... there hasn't been a veto-proof democratically controlled congress under Republican executive rule for almost a generation...

but I bet you were hoping no one would be aware of that fact... well, rebby... they are now...

waves to the lurkers... how was your weekend? did you check out the new Batman flick like Mrs Stripey and I did? oooowheee... it's a good flick...

Soooo me!
She hasn't had much to work with when it comes to bipartisanship... the obstructionist republicans... seem to care more about their petty party politics than they do about taking care of the country's business...

Perhaps you'll consider providing a well reasoned, logically valid and intellectually sound basis next time; they're quite rare, particularly among the Advocates of Social Science and because of this, their value is incalculable.

Good luck with your opinions in the future and here’s hoping you stumble across one which possesses some discernable value to someone.
much the same as your own, starting this thread... or do you consider your opinions to be above your reproach?

3) I know, Stripey. It's right there. Can't be denied. I, like U, have brought this up about a half dozen times to no avail.

4) So, lets talk about the weather. Something all of us can have an arbitrary conversation about.
1) 60 votes to bring a bill to the floor...

2) Of the good ol' days... pre-Bush#2...

3) Yes, tis obvious to our lurker friends out there (waves) that our righty opposition did indeed sleep through math class as many of them seem to think 51 IS greater than both 60 and 67...

4) Yep... tis time to start watching Dolly...

  • 1. He squandered a golden opportunity (9/11) to galvanize the nation around a commitment to become energy independent.
  • 2. He invaded a sovereign nation that posed no discernible threat to the US, was not involved in 9/11, had no WMD, and was harboring no terrorists.
  • 3. He diverted attention and resources from Afghanistan to pursue his quixotic mission in Iraq.
  • 4. He had no plan for the occupation of Iraq and predictably completely botched the job.
  • 5. He cut taxes for the rich in wartime and borrowed hundreds of billions from the Chinese to sustain the Iraq debacle.
  • 6. He presided over GOP profligacy and record deficits.
  • 7. His Justice Department required US attorneys to engage in partisan prosecutions to keep their jobs.
  • 8. His administration at the highest levels was responsible to outing a covert CIA agent in wartime and then committing perjury and obstruction of justice during the investigation.
  • 9. Despite having an iron grip on the US government for 6 years, did nothing to promote a rational plan on energy independence and global warming.
  • 10. He trampled on the consitutional rights of Americans while promoting secrecy for actions by his administrartion.

We could go on and on, as me know Mr. Bushfan, sir, but I will stop there to keep this post to a reasonable lenghth. The truly puzzling thing about all of this is why Devotees of Dissonance, like yourself, sir, Mr. Bushfan, respectfully, still prostrate yourself in worship of this failed president.
low expectations on their part, perhaps...

we thinking people expect more from our elected leaders...

he's ruined the country by systematically dismantling the things that made our country great... our bill of rights...

and I don't need ten years to ponder this to know he's the worst president ever...

I do question why you need so long though...

You are wrong, largely I suspect because you haven't a clue as to what you were talking about.

Let's stay in sequence so that you don't divert the issues. I'll ignore the very first thing you said about public education for the time being, but I reserve the right to re-visit at the end of our discussion, unless of course you want to discuss that first. I kind of doubt that you do.

With that in mind let's start with the legality or illegality of the US Government using propaganda on the People of the United States. I said it was illegal. You said it was not.

I gave you laws. I gave you Congressional directives included in the annual appropriations. I gave you the definitions used by the GAO. There is more if required. But you haven't responded. Are you going to concede or not? If you want to provide proof that there are no laws prohibiting the US Government from using propaganda on the People of the United States and with public funds then bring your argument and documentation forward. Once this part of the discussion is settled then we can discuss whether the Bush Administration has broken the law or not. First things first, however. There needs to be a law in order for a law to be broken. I maintain there are laws regarding propaganda as stated above and in earlier posts.



There is no need for you to assure me. I have had no doubt since the discussion began that you have no knowledge or awareness of the matter. I promise to clue you up before we are through.



My posts are there for anyone to see. Infer what you will, but at the moment your inference is an attempt to divert the discussion. We'll get to that as we will get to the Roosevelts, Wilson and the Bush non-propaganda connection. But one thing at a time. Let's take them in order.
ahhhhhh... school's in for bushfan... anyone wanna bet he calls in sick?

3) Amazing that Pelosi, who has more plastic in her face than the dashboard in my car, thinks she has the balls to call Bush a failure. Oops, I forgot, she is a transvestite from San Francisco, she may still have her balls.
1) It's called math... ever hear of it? In my world, 51 is not greater than 60 or 67... It is obvious that in your world, you think it is... perhaps misconceptions such as these are why you think your president's actions and policies have been good for the country...

2) Compromise is what is needed from the the obstructionist republicans to get anything done... any idea when they might start?

3) Off topic infantile garbage...

uhhhh... you lost Bronco? this is a bush bashing thread... ohhhhhhh wait... you're one of those who chooses to grovel at his feet rather than hold him accountable for all the things he has done to harm our country....

so, question Bronco... you seem to be quite a supporter of bush and his policies... why aren't you in the military, helping to carry out those policies?

You, sir, are quite familiar with the dire consequences of mixing arrogance and incompentence and perhaps you have chosen the wise course of abandoning any further futile attempts to shore up the dwindling fortunes of this abominable administration whose leader will go down as one of the worst figures in history, sir, respectfully.

Surely you don't expect bushfan to actually discuss the issues you have raised, do you swede?

I don't... nor do I expect him to respond to any of the issues Sparky brought up...

I do expect however to see more of the opinions expressed by him used as facts... righties do that a lot you see... they think just because they think something is, it is...

it isn't though...

They found them? After all these years, missing since puberty, they've been discovered? Where? I'm betting they were nowhere near his weapon of minimal destruction. My money says his mom had them, hidden away.

hmmm, bushfan seems to have left the building... was it something you said, Sparky?



It sure appears to be the case as today is 2 days since you leveled your questions to him... I guess his baseless opinions were no match for your use of the law...

Good job. A very good job indeed...

on the other paw... perhaps he is just doing research in order to answer you properly...

uh huh, sure... are there any lurkers out there who actually believe that?
