Try to be somewhat honest OK, He hasn't proposed SS for Mexicans, Those illegals here who work under false SS numbers have paid billions into SS with no chance of receiving any credit or benefits from it because their illegal

and what happens to American citizens who owned those SS numbers?? what of them?? are they to lose out on their benefits in favor of illegals??

This is happening to some people

[ArneFufkin]

The Bushies should not feel confident. Many conservatives will stay home, count on it

I hope you all watch "Oprah". As usual.

That's the Third Pary bullcrap in a nutshell.

[GeronL]

There aren't any budget figures for a trip to Mars that won't happen for decades.

[GeronL]

I don't watch much TV... I do like Monster House though

[ArneFufkin]

Nobody gives a Freeping Freek about your opinion.

Education money IS given to scholl Districts based on performance. Lump sum payments without accountability is what we have had for decades. How much scholl district money comes from the Feds? Do you have any idea?

I thought you liked protectionism for "American Jobs".

The TSA was pretty well "privitized" prior to 911. That worked out really well didn't it?

Then you agree with Bush on that point.

"and what happens to American citizens who owned those SS numbers?? what of them?? are they to lose out on their benefits in favor of illegals??

I don't know about you, but I would love for an illegal alien to pay into SS using my SS number.

You are either very young or you have an IQ below room temperature, Which is it?

private screeners didn't mess up.. it was NOT illegal to bring boxcutters on the plane at the time.

[ArneFufkin]

You're dislikable.

Two reasons divided government is BAD:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Stephen Breyer.


nuff said.

[jpsb]

I don't like Bush, he's an empty suit and a piss poor president. I probably vote for him again, but holding my nose even tighter this time.

[ArneFufkin]

Again, you're a fraud .... I'll bet you don't have the MONEY to travel.

Just my job, I used to travel all the time, lots of miles between Mpls and Narita and Gatwick ... and I never felt like I was devoid of rights, language or power. EVER!

GeronL ... you stink as a Freeper!

Given FR, this will be pulled too.

[EGPWS]

and stop giving money for limo's and liquor for USO celebs.

Gee, that would put us on a comfortable fiscal track. What on earth prompted you to bring up the USO? Perhaps we ALL need to focus on the USO, that may put us back on track fiscally as a nation.

"Those $5 billion are not going to get us to the moon or Mars, thats probably just to build the bureaucracy for the eventual trip to Mars around 2030 "

No, the technology will be worth 500 Billion $ long term !

The research in fuel and payload efficiency will also be used for the military saving billions.

Add to this the other new technology that can be applied to normal day t day use the ROI is very good.

ETC !

[GeronL]

Arny Flufkin, Little Arny Flufkin..Arny Flufkin leave my toes alone

"Education money IS given to scholl Districts based on performance. Lump sum payments without accountability is what we have had for decades. How much scholl district money comes from the Feds?"

Many people don't realize this, (I'm sure you do, because like me, you actually read th bill) But the Democrats are crying about the "No Child Left Behind Act" because they say it's not being funded, But the truth is, the law says they must qualify for the money, something they never had to do before.

"The No Child Left Behind Act" had the possibility of something like a 27% increase if every school district could comply with the new standards, very few have, so the money is not allocated, and goes back into the Treasury.

This has the Democrats in a fit of rage, never before did the public schools have to comply with standards before getting any money. This will be explained to the knee jerk reactionaries who belly ache and are too damn lazy to read the bill to begin with. My guess is this will be explained at a time of GWB's choosing, Late September maybe :-)

[GeronL]

apparently principled conservatives vote liberal

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I'm not referring to Mars.

You keep spewing this hype about how much money the President has spent, blah, blah, blah,........

I asked you to quote the actual figures of this years budget proposal made by the President.

Then, while you're at it, give us the current GDP/National Debt ratio. If you were truly that well educated on the facts, you would not have much to gripe about because this President has done a very good job overall.

My final point is, you don't know what you are talking about. Until you can debate people with respect for their opinions and show factual evidence to back your position, we will simply laugh you off as just another typical ignorant nut bar who frequently puts his mouth in gear with out his brain engaged.

I missed the USO part. Geeze how petty can it get around here.
