McCain

“"McCain= Bush Lite, Same moderate views,...."

Those guys would seem moderate to a neo-fascist.”

“Marko, is a fasTcist one that owns 10 dogs and feeds only one?”

“Personally, I think it's high-larious the right complains about the media. I mean, the media handed Bush the office. The media let Bush run, unchecked, into Iraq.

Man, the media is the Repub's best friend!”

“What media you talking about? What world you living in?”

“McCain's article about how the media is not covering all the GOOD being done in Iraq.

Ped's link.

Stay with the program, man!”

“i have today off, so i stayed up wayyyyyy too late last night Nigal.

the media? hell, we only think we are voting our choice. very incredibly rich men way up top, make our decisions for us. they decide how various politicians are potrayed, what gets into the news, how things are spun. everything including the politician is bought and paid for long before we get there. who knows what the man is actually like, eh? if ever there was a real one, he was probably killed off.

feeling cynical today,

“You know there is something about feeling a cynical Pammie today that is strangely Attractive...(LOL)

Marky Mark...please define Fascist as you know it....(LOL) I think a dictionary is in line for you Mr Marky Mark. Please tell me where in the line I have ever advised or favored Government control of our private lives?”

“frankly i wouldn't mind being felt up, LOL!”

“Jeeze, John. Your right. The press is only reporting the negative stuff. Ummm, maybe because that's all there really is?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070411/ap_on_re_mi_ea/red_cross_iraq;_ylt=AkhZEHlufxoiocROOBaegtSs0NUE

And why is it everything seems to be in rubble in all the photos. Those photographers must be PURPOSEFULLY taking pictures of the destruction...”

“Yeah its not like the media to say...run empty ambulances up and down in say...Lebanon to give coverage for the HORRIBLE attacks from EEEEVIL Isreal...LOL Rosey, Winston Smith would have loved you.”

“Why should it be any different over there than it is here? How often do you hear good news reported that happens in our own country, much less overseas?

Here's some good news from Iraq:
The first Iraqi flight surgeon team is officially in place and working. ( My brother trained them and helped them set up their program)

There are many small steps being completed everyday. We can't really expect the press to report on them though. Small steps make for boring news. Death and destruction are much more sellable.”

“Sass I have to totally agree...I still wonder how the citizenry would view say any assistance and long term program if viewed in the negative light of the Media.

I hearken back to a 1947 issue of LIFE magazine that said we had "Lost the Peace" in Germany and the whole rebuilding was a total bust.”

“Let's take a look at why they need that flight surgeon team...”

“They need it for the exact same reason we do here Roseymonster. IF they ever stop fighting there will be babies born who are rushed to bigger, better hospitals, plane crashes and fires, train wrecks and storms that produce patients who require airlifting for immediate care.
(And if they don't stop fighting there's the car bombings and general senseless destruction to try and put the pieces back together after)”

“roseymonster, they also need flight surgeon's because your buddies over there continue to bomb themselves crazy and take civilians and military alike with them.”

“Oh agreed on all fronts. I'm just saying, we got those things rolling for them. Here we are four years down the road and we're finally getting an Iraqi flight team together?

Just crap planning for sure.”

“I'm sure they regret not consulting you during the decision making process.”

“It is crap planning. But, I think it's just now that the stuff is "together" enough to do more handing over. Does that make sense? If not just disregard my ramblings, lol.”

“For those who know much about the post-WWII history the fact the reports about "losing the peace" in Europe in early 1947 highlight the failure of the Bush administration. Truman and his administration heard the criticisms and took them seriously. There were lots of problems and we were not on a course to overcome them. There were no Carl Roves or Dick Cheney's to bash the naysayers into smithereens, question their patriotism or accuse them of failing to support the troops.

Instead, the administration - learning from history - took steps to avoid the kind of festering wounds and economic miseries that lead from WWI to WWII so quickly. The administration stepped up its game, in mid 1947 the US and Western Europeans worked out the Marshall Plan a massive influx of aid and support - a multi-lateral effort of massive aid in a well thought out, though imperfect, plan and execution.

People willing to name and discuss problems aren't always doom and gloomers, often they are people pointing to problems in hope of solution. They are people saying we can and should be doing something better.

Simple minded references to unfulfilled worries about failure in the post-WWII occupation were used again and again by right wing blogsters as incantations against the necessary critical thinking.

Historical references should be used to promote thought and critical thinking, not to prevent it.”

“"There are many small steps being completed everyday. We can't really expect the press to report on them though. Small steps make for boring news. Death and destruction are much more sellable"

It is BushCo's fault for loosing this war.

Nothing more can be heaped on the media.

Shifting the responsibility to a third party is a cop-out for any leader.

One tenet of war is to ensure public support.

This is where BushCo has failed.

This country is not on a war footing at home.

We drive around everyday, living our lives as the President said we should.

Continuing an American 20th century Capitalistic fantasy is what has burried us presently.”

“I do wonder if the Bush administration has given up on fixing the problem, but will prove far more capable when it comes to fixing the blame.”

“I guarantee it, ped.”

“No one wants to support someone who is the President's lap dog.

Looks like he'll be bowing out. It's too bad. He shoulda gone against the grain and he could have been a contendah!”

“He's already to old anyway............70.”

“The Libs fav boy is sinking. Good.”

“And let's see, who does that leave for the Rebubs...

NO ONE! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...”

“Not very up to date are you?”

“".....up to date..."

Ain't you married, Rosey?”

“I am, I know, it's hard to believe someone so great would have anything to do with me...

So Stovie, please share your incredible insight about the great savious from the right who will come sweeping into an assured White House victory? Hopefully they won't need the earpeace when it comes to debate time...”

“And let's see, who does that leave for the Rebubs...

NO ONE! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...”
roseymonster

Ever heard of the many folks running in the Rep primary, rosie?
Afraid your statement does know how true.”

“Please, no more crats and licans. Let's get serious about the future of this country. In your hearts you know that more control by either the Crips or Bloods will lead to the total demise of this once great nation, so , do something other than call each other names and learn something about the options of third parties.”

“Yeah, there's a guy named Giuliani riding the coat tails of dead fire fighters.”

“Stovie won't say the name , Ron Paul( the only real conservative in the race).Who the hell is , Jewelsisonhe (when he's dressed)?”

“Who cares how many entrants in the race there are, Stove. Freakin Gary Coleman ran for gov of CA...

The reality is, the Repubs don't have a prayer of winning the next election because:

a) They completely hosed the United States for the next 100 years in every way imaginable.

b)There's not one candidate who relates to the Republican voter base, which is apparently Joe-Bubba from Armpit, TX e.g. the current duffus sitting in the Oval Office.

c)Again, who in the Rebub lineup has prayer? I mean, McCain was about the closest the Rebubs had to capturing mainstream America and well, he's broke and gonna have to fold...”

“NO ONE! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...”

“So, instead of one of your cryptic one-liners that lead no where, how about answering my question.

““NO ONE! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...”
roseymonster


I guess no one else other than MaCain was running. ;-)
I'm just wanting to point out your stupid statement. Kinda dumb, to use a word libbies use a lot, rosie.”

“WhatlibbydolibbyyoulibbythinklibbyaboutlibbylibbieslibbyStovie?”

“Boy, you SUUUUURE got me. Boy, do I feel inferior! Golly gee, give yourself a pat on the back you ole super-sluth you!”

That is truly one of the more disgusting comments I've seen here in awhile, even for you, MarkO. It's OK if you don't like him, but a look at the facts instead of your putrid comments will tell you why Rudy is doing well in the polls:


Mayor of New York
In 1993, Rudy became the first Republican elected Mayor of the City of New York in a generation. Campaigning on the slogan "One City, One Standard," he focused on reducing crime, reforming welfare and improving the quality of life. In 1997, he was re-elected with 57% in a city in which Democrats outnumbered Republicans five to one.




Under Mayor Giuliani's leadership, overall crime was cut by 56%, murder was cut by 66%, and New York City - once considered the crime capital of the country - became the safest large city in America according to the FBI. New York City's law enforcement strategy has become a model for other cities around the world, particularly the CompStat program, which won the 1996 Innovations in Government Award from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.




When Mayor Giuliani took office, one of every seven New Yorkers was on welfare. Mayor Giuliani implemented the largest and most successful welfare-to-work initiative in the country, turning welfare offices into Job Centers, leading to the reduction of welfare rolls by 640,000, or nearly 60%, to the lowest level since 1966.




Mayor Giuliani also took decisive steps to restore fiscal responsibility to New York City, reducing or eliminating 23 city taxes while turning an inherited $2.3 billion budget deficit into a multi-billion dollar surplus. These reforms helped lead New York City to an era of broad-based growth, with approximately 423,000 new private sector jobs created in eight years, as business returned to the center of city life. As news of the New York renaissance spread around the nation and the world, tourism grew to record levels. Under Rudy Giuliani's leadership, New York City became the best-known example of the resurgence of urban America.”

“Hey Wanderer!!

That's how many of the NYFD fire fighters feel about Roody........don't shoot the messenger(me).

It sounds like you have found your ideal man.

“Don't forget Abner Louima. That was on Giuliani's watch...”

“Just the good news, Rosey, just the good news.”

“I love you
You love me ...”

“We all love Joo-lee-ann-eeeeee....”

“Rotflmao...Ron Paul....lol..what a loon.

Honestly who do the libbies have to run? (LOL)...face it looks like 2008 may be the chance to change...

Think about it...no one gets elected President, therefore NO bills are signed. Nothing happens to hurt us....An Idea whose time has come.”

“Thinking Ron Paul is a loon is a sign of pure ignorance, but that's nothing new to this loony farm. you call yourselves conservative ,yet compared to Paul, you all look like LIBBY socialist. It's been so long since many of you have heard the truth about this country and it's dealing , that I can't blame you for not knowing a thing about what he is saying.”

That's how SOME might feel, MarkO, but not "many". There is no single candidate, Rep, Dem or Ind, who is ever going to get 100% support from any group as large & diverse as NYPD.

But to say "MANY" feel that way is simply untrue... the excerpt below is from the NYT, not exactly a right-leaning paper! Maybe you should have some facts before you start throwing rocks, just this once? But the part that literally turned my stomach was your suggestion that he was "riding the coat tails of dead fire fighters", as if he was an all-time leading scumbag amongs humanity. Just because you may not agree with him politically is no excuse for you to be so judgemental, especially without any facts.




Their images are permanently etched in photographs after the fall of the World Trade Center towers, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and firefighters cloaked in the same gray dust. For months afterward, they stood together at funerals. Mr. Giuliani, in his eulogy, always asked for a round of applause to celebrate the dead firefighter’s life. It would be easy to assume, then, that Mr. Giuliani can count on the support of the 11,000 men and women of the New York City Fire Department as he runs for president. But that would not be entirely true. Interviews with more than 50 firefighters and department officers show a mix of admiration and disdain for the former mayor. Many firefighters praise his years in office, citing his success in reducing crime and his leadership after the terrorist attacks. Others harbor a resentment for what they describe as his poor treatment of the department before and after Sept. 11.
