Even President Bush apologized, and they were wrong to do so.. we may not have found all that was reported, but the question isn’t if they were there, it is what happened to them.. to say they weren’t there is to completely ignore history or what we have found, or hell, what Saddam himself said..

[billbears]

Yea, that so called nation building of Japan and Germany really ruined us.. we all know those Nazis and Bushido followers could never be civilized and, rebuilding their countries would never be in our interest..

Except that both nations had successful experiences with representative government before WWII. Hey maybe you can compare Iraq to 1776 while you're at it. Since they're so similar as well....

One comment on H&C is that NH has mainly moderate and libs, very few conservatives. That would explain some of the responses. It would also help explain why those at the cafe picked McCain.

Paul never voted to raise taxes.

Paul never voted for gun control.

Paul never voted for an unbalanced budget.

He is the only real person on a stage full of actors playing to focus-groups.

You forgot the glowing example of South Korea.

I dont know why people think it is fine to let the Chavezs of the world have their way.

We have brought more good to the world than anyone.

The fuedalist socialist europeans? feh!

Because the VW micro bus can carry a lot of freaks...

[mathluv]

Only having ‘text messages’ eliminates many who would vote, and only allows the more technology literate to vote.

[FlashBack]

I’d love to have him as Fred’s VP
That wouldn't be a bad ticket! I like Rep. Hunter as well and wish he'd have caught on...I still like Tanc as well. But it seems as though FRed got more airtime during this debate than either of those two did...as well as Brownback.

Where can I verify that information??? I want to make sure I’m voting for the right person. It’s probably too late now anyway, they’ve probably already closed the polls.

OH WELL Let, the Paulies claim victory again.

See post #1785, it is easy and pretty cheap to set up a service that will auto text bulk via a PC.. I learned about this service from the DU Dungeon when they were discussing how to set up services to hit these polls... The thing about using a PC service is that it doesn’t display a number, and thus, you aren’t prevented from repeat votes..

Because Tony Blair was a political pussbag

I bet the Emperor of Japan would not agree with you.

[John Farson]

Those institutions take generations to materialize. The war is incredibly expensive... The war has directly weakened the value of our dollar, forced us into debt with the chinese, and bought us mountains of ill-will.

We don’t have the money to be there for decades. Empire bankrupted the British. It will bankrupt us as well.

[mathluv]

and he would never go to war against those who attacked us.

But Saddam was elected by a 99% vote.

I read it in the AP

Chavez too. And Amadinijahd

[John Farson]

Wrong. Paul voted for military force in Afghanistan.

Psst. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, friend.

Except that both nations had successful experiences with representative government before WWII

I just spit wine all over my recliner after reading that one.. It isn't even worth responding too.. I'll just repeat your comment again so others can laugh..

Except that both nations (Germany and Japan) had successful experiences with representative government before WWII

I just realized that you've been joking with us.. I wish sometimes you would use the //sarc tag. I put all this energy into responding when you are just illustrating absurdity by being absurd.. Sorry I didn't get that earlier..

[mylife]

Weve been in europe and japan and SK for decades.

Time to move forward. Scouts out! Calvary Ho!

[expatpat]

Didn’t you see the posts here on how it can be done via a third party?

[mathluv]

We were in debt to the Chinese long before this war started. I could care less about ‘ill-will’ from other countries - our winning may not be in THEIR best interests, and they sure don’t have our best interests at heart.
