That is one of the most awesome pics I have ever seen.

Unfortunately the MSM/Old Media is agenda laden, don't look for that to change any time soon.

And the worst part is who will we ever get to take GW's place? He has been a great man with only the welfare of the country in mind for a change, we can only hope the next Potus is so inclined, but I don't know.

He has also misled (lied) to the British public on other issues he said there would be not payroll tax increase so he did it by stealth and increased National Insurance Contributions instead which is worse because this also affects the employer as well as the employee.

"What is your vision for old poor people?"

There are some youngsters here on Free Republic who have little or no vision beyond next month, I'm afraid. They cannot envision themselves being old, and don't really care about anyone other than themselves and their present needs.

Some are "end-times" folks who don't believe they'll even be around when they're old. Some are libertarians who believe that anyone who has not saved $1million for retirement deserves to live in poverty.

There are lots of reasons that the plight of the elderly does not matter to these folks.

Social Security is in a huge mess. It needs to be fixed. So far, I haven't seen a plan that fixes it...not even close.

Saddam Hussein DID have WMD's, we knew that. He used them killings thousands of his own people. Enough chemical weapons were found to kill a population of 500,000 people. many weapons and weapons programs in violation of the conditions of the Gulf War ceasefire were found.

The '91 ceasefire was continually violated by Saddam's Iraq and should have prompted the resuming of hostilities years before 2003.

Dictators and Tyrants cannot be appeased. They cannot be dealt with by treaties, they are dishonest and should immediatelyu be held to account.

Tony Blair was right, Saddam did have WMD's, he used them. Since Saddam was in noncompliance with the Gulf War ceasefire agreement the Iraq War was entirelt legal, and necessary.

Those responsible for the Iraq war being necessary are the United Nations, the nations and businesses of Germany, France, Russia and China who continued doing business with Iraq in violation of sanctions.

Tell me, what will Europeans do if the globalists and socialists have their way and diminish the United States from a superpower to just another "equal" socialist state?
I mean, since America saved Europe from the abyss of tyranny 3 times in the 20th century, if America is not able to do this again, who will save Europe the next time the forces of evil are empowered by appeasement and begin to march?
who? what nation will save you?

Tony Blair amazed me by his stubborn rightness!

I am not disagreeing with you about anything Saddam did and I already said I agree with going to war but Blair did not give us the full facts and he did not push our intelligence enough either.

Dick Cheney repeatedly asked the question about WMDs of the American intelligence and the words 100% certain and immediate threat were not banded out as much in the US as in Britain. Blair accepted the possibility as absolute proof. He was not honest about regime change thats the difference.

Blair also saw this as an opportunity of getting on the world stage and jumped at it. In his mind he had to embellish the truth to get the war past his own MPs.

What America see of Tony Blair is what Tony Blair wants them to see the majority of people in Britain are fed up with his lies and rhetoric broken promises higher taxes worse health service etc etc but unfortunately feel that the Tories do not have depth and caliber of MPs to run the country and feel the Lib Dems do not stand a hope of getting elected. So by default Blair will win.

Nope because money is being diverted from the system. It is a wash. Morever, Bush said this

Less money will be diverted from the system unless you believe that you cannot make money from stocks or bonds or any private investment, which is a false belief!

[Evolution]

Why should I even debate a retarded Troll from DU that believes in Bush Conspiracys to take over the world and steal our money, when his economic policys are doing the exact opposite?

[Evolution]

How about Low-income workers become responsible and save for themselves?

Some people here just love the nanny state!

[Ronaldus Magnus]

We are the new media.

The truth shall set us free.

[Ciexyz]

that believes in Bush Conspiracys

Conspiracys = Conspiracies

[Ciexyz]

President Bush can't save Social Security with this new program. Bush couldn't even save Terri Schiavo. I'm not inclined to favor any expanded government program at this time. The Culture of Death rules and neither party wants to stop it.
