I won't disagree with that! :)

Of course I'm immature. Everybody who posts here has a bit of that.

Why would you think it bothers me? Furthermore, why should that please you - that seems..uhm...immature? Do you see me as some sort of political enemy or something, is that it?

I was just hoping that you would help to keep the discussion going with topical arguments. I enjoy reading everyone's opinions.

I see that my statement bothers you for some reason, which is, of course, why you are responding to me. Thank you.

Of course you can (I never said or implied otherwise).

Why not stay on topic and refute PDQuig's post though?

The actual death rate should be about 244,000 per year, or approximately 9.1/1000, per wikipedia's UN numbers. That death rate corresponds to that of Norway, Uruguay, Macedonia, and Japan.

Just so you have a little perspective.

And, according to the most recent Iraqi government numbers, this year has seen a net return of +47,000. I know you probably don't believe the Iraqi government is telling the truth, but I don't see any other place your numbers could have come from.

Soros is a Nazi AND Obama is a Muslim?

Anything else?

Well my point is that PDQuig is essentially railing against GWB and all you said is, well Clinton is a loser too.

Ed can easily make a zillion topics about the Clintons and corruption (and heck he has) but this isn't one of them.

That was AFTER Kerry accepted the challenge that Pickens first mentioned at a speech of The American Spectator.

Even Redstate admits that Pickens "clarified or moved the goalposts".

No, actually T-Bone asked for a bunch of stuff, like Kerry's journal and films.

Brilliant satire!

Tell us again about how the economic recovery of the 1990s that Clinton claimed as his own actually started in March of 1991.

I guess the figure of speech of meaning that Bush is the best democrat I know because he is in fact the worst example of a republican I can think of ... of course there are those here who also thought Lynn Swan would win the governors race in PA.

Are you really a member of the Party of Lincoln?

Well, we have that BC certainly did not lead the Republican Party. It's certainly clear at this point that he's not leading the Democrats either -- at least not that segment which supports someone other than Hillary.

So, while not agreeing with anything PDQuig has stated in the above comment, I've added my own obvious truths.

Yes, Romney gets it. He understands that he needs to flip-flop worse than a salmon tossed onto a frying pan, to get the win.

What a genius!

Oh he was there huffing and puffing about vetoing bills that exceeded X amount but when the bills arrived, he pussied out.

Amen!

Not much of an argument there as you seem to be equating GWB with BC. Unless you wish to refute the above poster?

Uhm....and what of creating the first entitlement program in 50 years? What about NCLB? And the Bush tax cuts have not paid for themselves and neither will the upcoming rebate.

The fact is, he should have vetoed many spending bills sent from the Republican controlled congress but he let them keep their pork.

nixon... miscellaneous shenanigans... oh please he got caught breaking into and spying on the Democrats... then he lied about it... manipulated the judicial branch so there would be no investigation then when he was about to be impeached ALL THE WAY he resigned.

Reagan... gave S&Ls billions of tax dollars... killed nuns in nicaragua... gave guns and money to Saddam... broke the bank more than Johnson... senile old fool.

Bush 1... continued Reagan's voodoo economics. Smartly decided not to invade Iraq because of costs, loss of lives and instability.

Clinton... greatest economy ever in the history of our nation. Handed budget surplus to Bush 2... balanced budget... reduced size of government... brought perps of WTC attack to justice... foiled by Republicans to increase airline security and reduce terrorism by hunting down OBL.

Bush 2... killed more than a million people. Dislocated 3 million people. Created army of wounded soldiers both physically and emotionally. Destabilized an entire region of the globe. Trillion dollar deficit spending. Increased size of government. Appointed cronies and industry insiders to important posts. Can't put two sentences together when speaking. Doesn't care if OBL is caught and brought to justice. Redirected resources from avenging WTC 2 attack. Brother manipulated elections in Florida and was selected by party line Supreme Court for presidency.

Bush didn't climb into bed with K-Street? WTF are you talking about? Remember Jack Abramoff? If Bush wasn't sleeping with Jack then you don't know Jack. And don't forget about Jeff Gannon and his overnight stays. NOW THAT'S BEING IN BED WITH SOMEONE!

Del,

Remind me to "never" piss you off...

Not only did Noonan miss the mark on GW Bush, she also went after Rush and talk radio. Regardless, I'm just fine with all of this critique. A party that fails to have these conservations, is a party that will fail to grow and evolve.
