Re: The big Poobah

Geroge W. Bush is the leader of your party (assuming you're GOP), and the President of your country.

wants to pi$$ 15 billion away on "Aids in Africa"......

Some of the best billions this government has ever spent.
Bush saw on opportunity to earn allies on an issue that all people hold dear, and should be applauded for it.

Re: a National health care (Hillary) policy....

This is flatly false, and doesn't warrent a response.

Re: a feakin' dog and pony show on the surface of Mars...

Why does it anger you so that Americans succeed ? Your liberal streak is showing here. LOL

Re: and he spends money faster than ex DC mayor Marion Barry in a crackhouse....

A facinating little kinipshka fit. Perhaps you should be advising Dean? ROFL Don't go 'roid rage' on us now. lol

Re: and you think for one minute we couldn't cut the number of iallegals by 30% a year, from traipsing across our borders?

Wait a second, I thought you wanted to "SEAL THE BORDERS". This means nobody in or out, and it's isolationist.

he, he, he....you called me a liberal....he, he, he, he......

Yup, I voted for GWB....he said he was conservative....well among the misfits who were running against him...I suppose he was the most conservative....But, I'm votin' Constitution party this time around.....

15 billion to peeps who can't keep their peckers in their pants....AIDS is caused by a lack of personal responsibility, nothing more.....yup, if that's money well spent, you might want to hope Enron rises from the ashes and perhaps you could get an accounting job there....

Americans just succeded very well on Mars in the last three days....stunning pics and money well spent, IMHO....other than to inflate some egos, what purpose would spending billions (we do not have, I might add) of my grandkids money for sending humans to Mars? What purpose was served, other than to inflate egos, did putting peeps on the moon serve....we could have saved so much money, and spared more than a few lives, by sending MORE lunar rovers with cameras....oh....I get it, we can all engage in a little verbal masturbation....."man on the moon stuff"....that's a hell of a lot of money for Tang and Teflon....nope, me, I'm a tight wad...I work too damned hard for my money....I have to write a check 4 times a year to GWB and company.....that's enough...I say spend the money on policies that benefit ALL (legal) Americans. If you cared to look around my State (CT) and see how illegals have decimated local "legit" businesses, you might have a different opinion......

...again, I quantified my statement regarding borders....

regarding "the big Poobah" remark...I lose respect for a Pres who goes against 85% of his electorate (re: "immigration")
That was the last kick in the nads from him to me I'm takin'

Ciao

Which allies? The international community that generally hates us more and more? I haven't seen any good feelings there -

Or allies at home - you mean the liberals who think it's the US's fault for all the ills of the world, including AIDS - who think the same, regardless of our actions.

I'm really not meaning to argue, but I really don't see any real benefits from that program. From all the international community is saying, the AIDS epidemic is still out of control in Africa - cultural differences make education and prevention programs basically useless. And as we know, there is still no cure for HIV/AIDS.

If the money had to be spent, would it not have done more direct good by being used for AIDS research right here in the US?
