Early news reports cite that Donald Rumsfield will be in the unemployment line very soon.

I really, really hope so. But in reality, the damage is done.

Following his termination, I think he should be placed on body bag detail in Iraq for the remainder of his life.

I smell liberal negativity. Come on guys! You all just won the elections yesterday and already you are back to doom and gloom. Be happy!

I think it'd be nice to have a fresh perspective from someone new. Hopefully they will be tougher and more aggressive than Rummie. He was a bit of a pussie.

Robert Gates? Good, that's what we need is a good ex-CIA man who knows how to get info and knows how to keep a secret.

Nigal - the thing that cracks me up is that they'll criticize ANYBODY the President put in any of the cabinet positions. In other words .... Next! That's why it's useless to even listen to their ramblings which lack solutions and substance. It wouldn't be so bad if they picked their battles, but EVERYBODY "is" bad in their eyes and EVERYTHING "they" do is wrong. It's tiring and devisive.

Another point somewhat brought up on this thread.

The libbies think that conservatives have a problem with Rumsfeld b/c he's too conservative in his actions.

FALSE

He is too liberal. So is Bush. They are way too moderate for any conservative's taste that I've talked to. The poll question "are you satisfied with the job Rummy/Bush is going?" answered as "no" does not mean we desire somebody who is more liberal/moderate. Just the opposite. I've maintained from the beginning that Bush is too liberal.

Thanks for making my point rosey

he didnt make your point

your point was that 'libsocialists' or whatever will cast a negative shadow on whoever it is that is replaces rumsfeld.

rosey asked you about the administration in general

jesus apes­hit christ can you please make sense of your own ideas

For what roseymonster? to make my point again? I'm not going to sit here and debate with you issues we disagree with. That proves nothing in context of this thread. If there is something you want to discuss with me about a particular policy, pull up the thread - otherwise you're just making my point more and more - Thank you.

Substance:

The lickans lost the house, and possibly the senate because they were out of touch with the will of the people.

The people want a change, and they know the lickans mean more of the same.

Phaed...did you um..happen to even CHECK the platforms of many (heck most) fo the Dems running...I am seeing alot of CONSERVATIVE values winning (you know less government etc). Hey you guys did it with Slick for 8 years but the problem is that now you libbiesocialist have the car for 2 years....I am giggling with excitement to see what you do.

Yesterday Republicans lost...conservativisim won a WHOLE lot. Lets remember (check my previous posts) the Present Republican Party is not the Conservatives of Reagan and Gingrich. They were hardly distinguishable from the libbies. In fact we may see the President getting more of what he wants out of this Congress...it will be hilarious.
I see some of the moderate Republicans taking hits in 2 years.

Substance:

Under a looming Senate/House investigation into the faulty/deliberately misleading logic/information used to invade Iraq, the administration is taking steps to try and offset what will likely amount to criminal charges against key members of the Bush Administration. One of these steps is canning Rummy.

Um the same reason Mohammed that I saw the lies of the liberals in the 1990's. See mohammed don't know if you caught it in the conviction of the 42 president but..um he admitted LYING. Lib/Socialists can do anything and change the story later. You are the party of Winston Smith. The sad thing is that now there are a bunch of people who have access to information and will catch you on this.

Yes V. So are you and I.

So was Rumsfeld and a host of other guys both commendable and a few reprehensible. But I am familiar with Gates through my activities as a NESA member and he struck me as an honest and fair person.
