On June 20, 2003, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that tons of uranium, as well as other radioactive materials such as thorium, had been recovered, and that the vast majority had remained on site. There were several reports of radiation sickness in the area. It has been suggested that the documents and suspected weapons sites were looted and burned in Iraq by looters in the final days of the war....
On May 2, 2004 a shell containing mustard gas, was found in the middle of a street west of Baghdad. Officials from the Defense Department commented that they were not certain if use was to be made of the device as a bomb.
On May 16, 2004 a 152 mm artillery shell was used as an improvised bomb.("Iraq's Chemical Warfare Program Annex F". https://www.cia.gov/cia/reports/iraq_wmd_2004/chap5_annxF. html. Retrieved 2005-06-29. )
The shell exploded and two U.S. soldiers were treated for minor exposure to a nerve agent (nausea and dilated pupils). On May 18 it was reported by U.S. Department of Defense intelligence officials that tests showed the two-chambered shell contained the chemical agent sarin...

"Bush is NOT the president now, He hasn't been for over a year now."
Tough words, indeed, my dear friend. However, these words were never, ever muttered during the entire eight year George W. Bush 'Reign of Error.'
Who had the responsibility to protect America on 9-11?
It's time for we conservatives to man-up, and accept some responsibility. During the eight year 'Reign of Error' of George Bush, Republicans never accepted blame for anything. Always, it was a lot of gunslinger, finger-pointing and shouting out names like Bubba Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy and such.
Let's take one small example where Republicans were at fault. A Republican storyline of why Al Qaeda was successful on 9-11 goes something like this. Clinton appointee, Jamie Gorelick made a 'wall' that prevented information to flow freely between the CIA and FBI so that they could coordinate intelligence collection.
We've all, I'm sure, heard that story again, and again. But if this is a story we all know about and the Republicans had been in charge for nine months, then how come they didn't so anything about that 'wall?'
After all, Bill Clinton was no longer president. George Bush(R) was President, Denny Hastert(R) was Speaker of the House and Trent Lott(R) was Senate Majority Leader in 2001. What did they do to overturn this most cumbersome and onerous law? Nothing!
Who had the responsibility to protect America on 9-11?

You can talk the cake. You live in your own reality. You are the best example of this blog.
For your information, I know you know it all so why should I bother, Bush is NOT the president now, He hasn't been for over a year now. We have your stooge in the WH. You 2 make quite a pair - You have your head up your arse and he can't find his with both hands. |

In case you want to respond with "There were NO surpluses!!!"
I'll take the liberty to respond with;
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/election/july-dec00/platform 2.html
"REPUBLICAN PLATFORM 2000-July 31, 2000-In the first part of the Republican national platform, the party outlines its economic goals."
George W. Bush talked about those very surpluses in the link above.
|
|
"There is no hope."
There was hope ten years ago my card-carrying Republican friend. Finally, the following is an excerpt from Governor George W. Bush's 2000 'American Dream' GOP Party Platform:
"Over a five year period, as surpluses continue to grow, we will return half a trillion dollars to the taxpayers who really own it, without touching the Social Security surplus. That's what we mean by our Lock-Box: The Social Security surplus is off limits, off budget and will not be touched. We will not stop there, for we are also determined to protect Medicare and to pay down the national debt. Reducing that debt is both a sound policy goal and a moral imperative. Our families and most states are required to balance their budgets; it is reasonable to assume the federal government should do the same. Therefore, we reaffirm our support for a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget."
That dream had turned the USA into a pile of rubble (remember the fall of 2008?) and we have all seen how our country had nearly been destroyed by George Bush's eight year "Reign of Error."

I've not read Mr. Greenspan's book, so I'm afraid I'm missing your point - are you saying that Republicans can or cannot advance conservatism when they get their hands on power? Or is there another point here?
As much as I'd like to chat, it's coming on my bedtime? Good night all, and God bless? |
|
"It will eat you up inside."
What ate me up inside was the eight year George W. Bush 'Reign of Error' my dear friend. Let's compare the last two presidents who have completed their terms.
1.) Under Bubba Clinton the DJIA tripled. Under George W. Bush the DJIA lost 20% over his eight year 'Reign of Error.'
2.) Alan Greenspan said in his book 'Age of Turbulence' that in 2001 there were 'surplus's as far as the eye could see.' Now, guess what, we have deficits as far as the eye can see. (my words)
3.) In January 2001 it took 78 cents to obtain one Euro. After the 'Reign of Error' it took 140 cents.
4.) When the two oil men stumbled into the White House on January 21, 2001 the price of a barrel of oil was $22. In the summer of 2008 it was a disgraceful $140 a barrel.
5.) Many more Americans died from foreign terrorists under Ronald Wilson Reagan or George W. Bush than under Bubba.
Let's face it the Republican party has done a better job at bringing America to its knees than Al Queda.

Bob Woodward was a journalist.
In addition, Bob Woodward was a Liberal. He had an axe to grind. And he ground it against Bush.
He was not an elected office holder. He did not have access to the intelligence reports that our government read. He did not vote on the war.
You have an axe to grind. Grind your axe equally against your own side because both sides of the aisle agreed on this one.
You really need to seek some sort of therapy for your BDS. He is gone. His budget is history. Today we have Hope and Change. Our current budget is 4X Bush's budget. Get over you hatred. It will eat you up inside. |

"Here's the next test - the Republicans will get a majority in at least one house of congress this year."
When the Republican party does regain power in DC we will certainly see Supply-Side theory make a strong comeback.
Folks, let's not forget the four tenants of Supply-side theory.
1.) Tax cuts increase revenue.
2.) Deficits do not matter.
3.) The more debt there is, the more opportunities there are for tax cuts in the future.
4.) Every program that the federal government creates or expands presents yet another opportunity for a tax cut.
I suggest Republicans read Alan Greenspan's book 'Age of Turbulence' where he says that in 2001 the USA had 'budget surpluses as far as the eye can see.' And now look at what the Republican party hath wrought!

Can we not all agree that Republicans are more likely to be NeoCons than the Demoncraps are?
Let's review the Neo-Con philosophy.
1.) Neo-Cons believe in social-engineering and nation building in far-away places. (foreign countries)
2.) Neo-Cons believe in forcing America's future generations pay for all their social engineering and nation building in far-away places. (foreign countries)
3.) Neo-Cons will breathlessly chirp about Islamic Fascism and the 'War on Terror' and how the USA faces the most ruthless, blood-spattering, throat-cutting enemy of all time, but the only way they are willing to engage the enemy is with a big dollop of tax cuts (clinging bitterly to their precious 'Bush' tax cut) and their war motto is 'Let's go shopping!'

Thanks for the suggestion. I suggest you read the Congressional record and also count the Democrats that agreed that he had them.
Sorry, putz, Bob Woodward was a journalist. He did not have access to the intelligence reports that our government read.
I know you hate Bush and all of his admininistration. But you should at the very least ownup to the fact that the vote to go to war with Iraq was nearly unanimous. If Bush is part of some nefarious plot then all of our government was too. Even your friends on the Left. Don't rant and rage on Bush, rant and rage on all the government including your own.

question, "Did Saddam have WMD?"
You admit that he had them. End of story. We can quit with you stupid statements on the subject.
Saddam had WMD. From all that we know now and then, he had records indicating he had more. We never found those. We did find some 500 artillery rounds filled with WMD buried in the desert. We do not now or then know if he had more. But his records stated that he had them.
Now, putz, you can make up any stories you like. We know he had them. We now have on record that YOU know he had them. We also he used them. YOU know he used them. End of story.
Now, do you want to move into something else like - treaties? We made them with allies and abide by them. It is cheaper than war. |

Not sure about that, but why did Saddam squirrel away his WMD to Syria just when the American military came to greet him in 2003?
Was Saddam worried about hurting Americans with them? Was Saddam worried that getting caught with WMD might tarnish his sterling international reputation? Didn't Saddam know that his WMD would degrade in a few months time? It just doesn't make sense.
The only thing that makes sense it that he wanted his own people to think he had WMD in order to stay in power.
Let's not forget that Saddam snuffed out the Ayatollah Khomeni Islamic Revolution international aspirations with a long war between those two countries. Saddam is gone and Iran has since been feeling its oats my friends. Not a smart move in the global security sense.

I've known this for many, many years because I came in contact with thousands and thousands of voters in California while gathering signatures for statewide ballot initiatives and doing voter registration drives there years ago.

Gothic (Tyler) attire, ashen pale complexion, heavy eye shadow (and that's just the guys): Republican?!
The truth is that the great masses of Republicans are the very backbone of our nation, RESPONSIBLE, educated people of our country who believe in individual accountability, hard work and abiding by the rules. Democrats are people who generally are irresponsible sponges and who believe that rules don't apply to them, only to others.

One fifth is not 17%, husseincare is trying to take one fifth of the PRIVATE SECTORS economy and put it in the hands of the government, the very same government that is in hock up to their ears.
-----------------------------------------------
Are you trying to say that17% of American GDP is comprised of healthcare costs?
This is different than saying the American goob-mint pays for 60% of all healthcare costs my friend
----------------------------------------------------
GDP is gross domestic product-the money in the private sector is their money, my car in my garage is not part of the GDP, it is mine, I purchased it, with your logic, the government should be able to tell me when, where and if I can drive.
The peoples money is theirs, now back to math- if, as you state the government already picks up 60%, and they want to pick up the remaining 40%, the same government that with liabilities owes over 100trillion dollars is going to control my healthcare.
I don't want incompetence in my doctors office, we have the best healthcare in the world, if the hussein gets his way that will change. Except for the hussein and congress, they are exempt. |

"President Bush signed into law an emergency aid package for the U.S. airline industry Saturday, saying that 'the terrorists who attacked our country on September 11th will not shut down our vital businesses or thwart our way of life.'"
Folks, once again, a Republican would call this a 'necessary capital infusion.' A true conservative would call this the 'Marxist redistribution of wealth from the American taxpayer to large Fortune 500 companies.'
Yet, there were absolutely zero Tea Parties from January, 2001 through January, 2009. Why??

Doesn't zap prove emphatically what I was just saying?
NO rational thought is apt to take place in a liberal's mind EVER --if it tends to boost George W. Bush, his leadership and his courage. They won't even acknowledge his presidential election. They can't allow an iota of credit to be his, and if America has to go under, they'll go under with her to keep Bush radioactive in the liberal mind.

Do you really think these are arguments IN FAVOR of more government mayhem and mischief in the health care field? The biggest problem in health care now is government distortion of the system.
Of course we know these things. Conservatives opposed republicans when they did them.
It looks to me like you're so hung up on this democrat versus republican thing that you can't understand that conservatives often disagree with what republicans do. But they're closer to right more of the time than dem/progressive/socialists will ever be. When they're right, we support them. When they're wrong we take them to the woodshed.

The Iraqi oil reserves have priority as why Bush--Blair et al decided to take out Saddam. (With the UNSC's authority behind us.)
Mega petrodollars Saddam was generating would only have contributed to the immense global jihad the fanatics are dreaming of. The guy with all the gold makes the rules-- Golden Rule.
By stripping Jihad of all that oil, Bush may have derailed al Qaeda in one military operation; Operation Iraqi Freedom. Was it wise to speak openly of such a strategy? Not very. But that was the strategy, if we read between the lines.

said: A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats think that Iraq had WMD in 2003.
============================
Uh ... that's because they did.
I know you guys don't want to believe they had WMD's -- the left has tried to make this about nuclear WMD's but that is NOT the definition of WMD's which is: weapon with the capacity to inflict death and destruction on such a massive scale and so indiscriminately that its very presence in the hands of a hostile power can be considered a grievous threat. Modern weapons of mass destruction are either nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons—frequently referred to collectively as NBC weapons.
Saddam used WMD's on the Kurds, so clearly -- he had them.

Had you been paying attention in 2003 you would have noticed many discussions about how there was NOT a tie between Sadam and the planning of 9/11, yet even Bill and (cough)Hillary(gag) agreed that taking on Iraq was right at the time for its' own reasons.
Mr. Obama it seems did not agree with that at the time, matter of fact he disagreed so much that as soon as he became president he didn't do one damm thing to begin bringing troops home. So if you voted for him, just how smart does that make you? |

"zapdoodat----you got something there..."
More Republicans than Denoncraps believe the following story found on an Al Queda website years ago.
"Our fearless leader Saddam Hussein developed Weapons of Mass Destruction to kill Americans."
"The Americans came to Iraq putting themselves into close proximity to these very Weapons of Mass Destruction."
"Saddam, scared of his public image being tarnished (he hoped, one day, to win a Nobel Peace Prize) banished his Weapons of Mass Destruction to a far away place called Syria. (these weapons, unbeknownst to Saddam completely degraded over the next few months.)"
Saddam was later found in a hole.

We have the bottom 10 percent of the stupid democrats right here on this site. |
|
Without seeing your surveys, I have no way to evaluate your claims.
Better get more in here than just you biased opinion. |
|
A higher percentage of Democraps than republicans think that Nancy Pelosi, "DRAINED THE SWAMP" of corruption upon her taking office as, Speaker of the House. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Charles Rangel, John Conyers, and others remaining in office are proof of that.
A higher percentage of Democraps than republicans think that GW Bush planned the destruction of the World Trade Center towers.
A higher percentage of Democraps than republicans think that gas prices have COME DOWN since Nancy Pelosi campaigned on this promise in April, 2006. Oh yes, and even more Democraps think that their party elite are not at all enjoying relationships with the House of Saud. You know, it's the G.O.P, "Grand Oil Party". LOLOLOLOLolololol.
A higher percentage of Democraps than republicans think that, Eliot Spitzer, David Paterson, John Edwards, Mel Reynolds, Roland Burris of Illinois, Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Bob Menendez of New Jersey have done nothing wrong.
So, what's your point?

You should come out from the democrat cave more often and look around. You might come to understand things better.
First of all, Rush and Beck aren't republicans.
Both were highly critical of Bush and the republicans when they were doing progressive things.
Sarah Palin is a republican, and a highly popular and successful former governor who took on the party apparatus in her state.
Tell me when Rush, Beck, and Palin were racist, or is that just your "conservative profiling."
Yeah, come out and learn something before you spew. Remember, it's better to be silent and be thought a fool....

"And when exactly did they hear those things on Fox News."
Let's pick apart "A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats think that Saddam Hussein plotted 9-11."
Of course George W. Bush and Richard Cheney never explicitly said this, but they often parroted something very similar to the following;
1.) The 9-11 attacks were plotted by evil men.
immediately followed or preceded by;
2.) Saddam Hussein is an evil man.
George W. Bush and Richard Cheney would say those two sentences together many times. Fox News would frequently air clips of them repeating those same two sentences. The non-discerning viewer would figure that Saddam Hussein plotted 9-11.

Just saw the billboard with George Bush's photo and the question, "Missed me yet?" Go to the Drudge Report to see it.
Next I want to see the lovely face of Sarah Palin on a billboard pointing a finger at liberals and asking,
"How's that hope-and-changey thing working for ya?"
|
|
"If Fox News were pushing lies, its viewers would answer less questions correctly."
A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats believe in nation building and social engineering in foreign countries with weird cultures.
A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats think that if the USA scraps all agricultural subsidies we will all starve.
A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats will constantly whine about not allowing the American military to 'take the gloves off' in Iraq and Afghanistan. (they obviously are clueless about General Petraeus' strategy)
|
|
And when exactly did they hear those things on Fox News.
Let me help you. They didn't.
I'd be really interested to see who conducted your "survey."
"A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats think that Iraq had WMD in 2003."
Let's see, there were Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy.... Yeah, enough to vote to go get them out of there.

The greatest line
--------------------------
Yes I have seen that and it is a classic, I will bet if any libby here links to it, they will scream, "altered", or something.Facts, the libby hate facts, it spoils their la la dream. |

With out a doubt the greatest movieline of all time!!!!!!!!!! |

The biggest holder of US debt is actually the federal government (about half), through programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
Americans: through state and local governments, individual investors, public and private pension funds, holders of US savings bonds, insurance companies and banks and credit unions; hold about a quarter of the debt.
Foreign entities: states, corporations and individuals; hold the other quarter of the debt.
Of these foreign entities, China is the biggest holder of US debt, but it is no where near the largest overall.

Of course Conservative, self reliant, educated voters on the right are smarter...My Pet Rock is has more intellect then most Democrat voters...There party propagates and solicits the Welfare, section 8 balls, Drop outs, Prison inmates, uneducated illegals and even the cemetery crowd..! |

The stooges in this country are those like you and Tyler. You actually think that if they took away Rush, Beck, Palin and Fox News that nobody would notice what a complete failure you Messiah is. Sorry toots but most have gotten the message that electing this clown and his minions was a very bad move and time has come to get rid of them. I guess when you loss elections this November you will still be blaming Rush, Beck, Palin and Fox News.
Silly little troll. |

"If Fox News were pushing lies, its viewers would answer less questions correctly."
A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats think the President of the USA is foreign-born.
A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats think the President of the USA is half-Arab.
A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats think that Saddam Hussein plotted 9-11.
A higher percentage of Republicans than Demoncrats think that Iraq had WMD in 2003.

"stupider" ?
Showing your wits as well? With Tyler and You here, we just need one more "bright bulb" from your side to have a 3 stooges vote as well.
Where's Rachel? |

The libturds have a social disease, and like an alcoholic or drug addict, until they admit they have a problem there's no hope for recovery.
One of the symptoms is denial. SO it will be a cold day in hell when you hear one admit that they really don't know all the facts or the history behind any issue, take your pick; or that they admit an article they read in TH made sense or was difficult to argue with.....
Another symptom is the inability to take facts well. They immediately resort to defensive mode, and attack the messenger rather than the message. AT this point all kinds of dribble come out and before you know it, the discussion is so far away from the original message that it's easy to forget what it was.
And this is what they hope for....Many of the TH trolls are very adept at assuming, changing the subject, assigning their own meaning to statements, and putting words into other peoples' mouths.
And round and round it goes..

But we are brothers. Clarify something for me, Tyler, ole boy, we don't import 2/3 of our oil? There isn't more than one woman on the SC? Those are the lies you reference? Or are you being a Democrat, you know, inarticulate? |

"Smarter my arse
I guess it is possible when you are indoctrinated by fox news all day. Then you might be aware of the lies they push."
=================
Another dumb assumption on your part. I can't speak for others except to say they're probably more like me, in that I read widely, watch a variety of new programs, including PBS, BBC, and MS-NBC...why do conservative books sell and liberal books don't?
Easy, and related to the study: Liberals don't read, nor are they very adept at research.
To wit: when my significant other's sister passed away in December she went home and spent time with her brother and sister and some of their friends....all avowed Obama lovers, Bush-haters and liberals.
For the 4 days she was there, they didn't watch any news....NADA....the only thing they watched on TV were reality shows, The Simpson's, a Show called "Ghost Whisper" and comedy channel shows like Jon Stewart.
When the subject of health care came up, or any other issue of national import, they all showed their total ignorance on even the most basic facts, even as they professed their undying support for Obama and the democrats and excoriated all things republican.
This is typical as i rarely encounter a liberal that can say they've read more than one book over the past year, or cannot be easily shown to be less than "smart" on the issues even though they hold STRONG VIEWS on them.
Ignorance truly is bliss isn't it?
So spare us your lame assumptions.

The libbys I am sure will call this biased.
Just like a teenager who tells their parents that they don't know what they are talking about.
if the libbys were as smart as they think they are, they would not want or need the government to "get them through life". |
|
Repubs and the ones that other Repubs trust the most are:
Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck.
How dumb do you even have to be to ASK the question of who's smarter??? The 3 Stooges named above are considered leaders in the Repub. party. They are worshipped for their ignorant comments, racism and overall cluelessness about life.
No contest. Repubs. these days are stupider than they've ever been. Even dumber than the "Amiable Dunce" their hero - Reagan
|
|
It is the fact that the average person of BOTH parties is so ill informed.
Also the title is wrong. It shows nothing about smarter just better informed politically.

Thanks for confirming the results of the study.
If Fox News were pushing lies, its viewers would answer less questions correctly. That means more democrats would be watching Fox.
If this is too complicated for you, let me know.
Note also that independents outscored dems on all questions except the one they tied.
What's it like there at the bottom of the barrel? |

call the WH and ask obama, where is YOUR freaking health bill. |

No, just reading posts like yours is proof enough. You and your lib buddies prove on a daily basis that you are not the brightest bulbs in the box. |

Looks like Indies AND Repubs are more knowledgeable than Democraps. If this were a test on how to scam the system... |

(Ben Franklin?) made the following statement:
"I am always amazed at how dumb the average person is. Then I remember that 50 percent are even dumber."
Actually, fifty-odd percent were dumb last presidential election . . . |
|
Maybe at MSNBC; but everywhere else is pretty much obvious.
Not so long ago I remember a study that said conservatives are much happier than liberal; and have a healthier outlook on life.
So putting all this together, liberals are basically gloomy, miserable, pathetic morons. |
