Re: Q: WHEN WILL US BEGIN TO RESPOND FOR 9/11?
OK, so you tell us why Saudi Arabia and Egypt were not in the loop of Bush's target zone post 9/11.
How is war mongering and sabre rattling going to increase jobs here in the US, fix Social Security and Medicare, and help lower income families get access to health care?

It would be almost funny if it was not so sad.
I have in the past been a Republican. But It seems our country has churned out some partisian dirt bags on both sides.
We are reaping the results of 3 decades of American voter apathy and ignorance. It is like both partys are standing in a sinking canoe and one says let it sink we need to clean house and the other is saying we all go down together, but its your at fault.
It matters not at this point who put the hole in the canoe.
The rich will drown and the poor will drown together.
I have seen a change in America and it is this, we have become a nation of selfish, fat materialist morons. The wealthy manipulate the system to get richer and the middle class borrow they're way into the upper middle class. The poor stay poor. Our infrastructure is crumbling, our education system is too. Our children are fat but not happy. Our adults, struggling in homes they bought but cant afford and driving cars they cant afford. Our leaders feckless. It is all our fault. another 4 years of Dems will equal 4 more years of nothing getting done. Another 4 years of Republican rule will equal 4 more years of erroding infrastructure and corporate vampirism. If you are wealthy as W. Buffet you very well be able to ride out this turbulance for the next several decades. But those of us who are unfortunate enough to rely on wages and are at the mercy of either being taxed to death or work to age 80.

Huntsman not so great for the lower/middle class after all
It's not news when Jon Huntsman criticizes fellow Republicans. It's news when he agrees with them. On Sunday, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Huntsman found himself in a virtual love-in with Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann over, of all things, taxes. The paper asked Huntsman if "the half of American households no longer paying income taxmainly working poor families and seniorsshould be brought onto the income tax rolls"
He agreed, crediting the GOP's current front-runner for vice president, Sen. Marco Rubio, with the insight that "we don't have enough people paying taxes in this country."
Source
As great as this guy is about a lot of other things, he is still a staunch typical conservative.
I have to ask now, for what feels like the millionth time: why should I, as a lower-middle class american, vote republican?

Re: Q: WHEN WILL US BEGIN TO RESPOND FOR 9/11?
UUSR, China are oppositions, not enemies wanting to mass murder anyone considered an infidel. Backmann is not cosy about the Saudi Brotherhood or the monkies ruling Iran, Syria and Lebanon.
And yet what Bachmann is apparently worried about is India, which is the world's largest democracy and an ally against Muslim extremism; China, which keeps lending us money; and the USSR, which hasn't existed for the last twenty years. She didn't mention Iran, Syria or Lebanon, and opposed action against Gaddafi's Libya.

Re: Things Michele Bachmann Doesn't Know ...
... part 40598 ...
Michele Bachmann has blamed our airstrikes for the death of 30,000 people. Based on an estimate of 10,000 - 30,000 dead in the entire conflict.
Way to support our troops, 'Chele. It used to be politics that stopped at the water's edge, apparently nowadays it's patriotism.

Re: Things Michele Bachmann Doesn't Know ...
You can't honestly expect these people to read or investigate the stuff they parrot, can you? You can't honestly expect them to look into the facts of their hyperbole, can you? That would require honesty, a trait which all of the frontrunners for the Republican Presidential candidacy are sorely lacking.

Re: Q: WHEN WILL US BEGIN TO RESPOND FOR 9/11?
Surely this chant should be banned, equated with a heil Hitler salute. One cannot use such a phrase to identify with a god - and also to murder innocent people with screeming impudence.

Do you even know what Allahu Akbar even means? It means "God is the Greatest". You think people should be banned from shouting "God is the Greatest"? Is that something the Republican party supports?

You can't support you own claims (which are clearly pulled from out of your arse) or disprove my claims (which you implied you could).

Re: Things Michele Bachmann Doesn't Know ...
HONESTY.
The world was silent of the Balfour's corruption and the creation of a host of ficticious Islamic states - for 30 barrels of oil. It gives a new take on a non-virtual JUDAS and BORN IN SIN. Its effects are being played out today: the Copts, Lebanese & Paletinian Christians, the Kurds, etc are being thrown under the bus; no-zomes for Europeans in Europe are popping up. When the truth does not set one free - and turn the cheek from evil - applies.

I know what it does NOT mean. The ones screaming this chant in F Minor while slaying a family are not also great!

The phrase is used by all Muslims, extremists and pacifists. What you are calling for is an end to the freedom of religion. Nice to know where Republicans stand on that one. Always suspected, but it is now confirmed.
So what does this anti-Muslim rhetoric have to do with restoring jobs in the US, fixing Social Security and Medicare, and getting access to health care for lower income families? Care to enlighten?

"ITS A BLESSING TO KILL INFIDELS" is hardly against Muslims - its about non-muslims.
