Someone Will Have To Pay

"PBA" should read "PBA ban".

[A.J.Armitage]

Gee, now why would that be??? Could it be the Freaking war??? Could it??

Tell me how a prescription drug benefit fights terrorism. Be specific.

Could it be that NY was practically leveled?? Could it???

This is pretty interesting. In some minds the attacks get smaller as time passes, in yours it apparently gets larger. If it keeps up at this pace, in ten years' time you'll think the whole East Coast was depopulated.

[eyespysomething]

Actually, he is a libertarian, but Libertarians are asking for him to be banned from speaking at the Lib. Party convention next year, because he supported the War in Iraq. He isn't Libertarian enough. Sound familiar, like, oh, maybe Democrats?

There's a new movement out there, liberservatives, or conservatarians. Hopefully it will replace the Dem party.

[azhenfud]

The last one will confirm it.

[Porterville]

Uh, who says prescription drug benefit has anything to do with the war... could it be you?? Oh, yeah, it is.

If you make light of the 9-11 attacks go jump off a bridge because you really raise my blood temperature, and I don't tolerate pansy attitudes or limp wrist on the subject.

[A.J.Armitage]

Uh, who says prescription drug benefit has anything to do with the war... could it be you?? Oh, yeah, it is.

We were talking about the BUDGET. Okay? Got that in there? I know it's hard, but try to keep that thought in mind. Now, you had attributed the increase in spending (spending... as in the amount of money in the budget... this isn't too much, is it?) to the war. I pointed to an increase in spending that doesn't, does not, have anything to do with the war. Meaning, your attribution was wrong. Yes, you were wrong. I know how hard that is to accept, but I'm smarter than you, so just trust me. Now, if you're feeling ambitious, you might note that not only did I not suggest the prescription drug benefit is connected to the war, my whole point rests on the fact that it isn't. Yeah, I know, it can be hard to keep up with all this hard thinking stuff, but if you put some effort in, I know you can make it.

If you make light of the 9-11 attacks go jump off a bridge because you really raise my blood temperature, and I don't tolerate pansy attitudes or limp wrist on the subject.

I'm not the one who decided that "only" the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and "only" 3000 people was too light and made up some imaginary event which sounded worse. You trivialized it. You're the one who decided the attacks weren't bad enough and needed to be exaggerated.

[Porterville]

So you are one of those, there is no arguing with a libertarian; you think you're smarter, that is fine, I wouldn't hold such a belief, I can tell you base your life on your superiority complex and have a hard time dealing with your peers. It is okay, I would never question your intelligence, because it is a foolish argument to begin with (I gurantee your degree is smaller than mine) and I am certain you eclipse me in age by decades;

That aside, the drug bill alone doesn't make up the budget does it??

As far as 9-11 goes, I am certain you are doing nothing to contribute to your community to make things better. How, do I know, because are the Bill Maher type who thinks "Oh, it wasn't that bad"... people with that attitude contribute to one thing... themselves. I contribute to the community... freely.

[Mr. Jeeves]

With two, three, or even four justices ready to retire within the next 5 years, it is VITALLY important who gets to pick them.

Recent performances by Senate Republicans indicate that even if Bush is still President, he isn't going to get to pick them.

[Blood of Tyrants]

To be truthful, the Republicans have ALL voted to end cloture on the locked up judicial nominees. If Dasshole and a few of the others can be ousted this time using the mantra of "Rat Obstructionists", enough of the remaining will be convinced that being labeled as an obstructionist doesn't play well in "flyover country".

[Blood of Tyrants]

P.S. I am just as disgusted with the spinelessness of the GOP as anyone else.

[sphinx]

Medicare and Social Security are headed toward bankruptcy....By the year 2020, those two budget items alone will account for 80 percent of all federal spending.

Perfectly true, but Boortz errs by focusing narrowly on the costs. That's an error because we ain't gonna repeal Social Security or Medicare, and prescription drug benefits in Medicare were a lead pipe cinch sooner rather than later, regardless of whether it happened this year. Pretending that we could or should somehow pull the plug on these programs is nonsense. Sorry about that, Neil, but them's the apples.

The only serious question is whether we can shift in time to a fully-funded/aka "privatized" Social Security System and a consumer choice/voucher model on health care. Bush is on the right side of both reforms. We have the votes in the House today. We have a majority in the Senate but need 60 votes for cloture, which means we need to find a few non-socialist Democrats willing to put country above Party. I would not care to wager on the likelihood of that.

[Texas Federalist]

"As things stand now, George Bush holds the record for three of the top five years in terms of increases in government spending. Gee, now why would that be??? Could it be the Freaking war??? Could it?? Could it be that NY was practically leveled?? Could it??? Could it be some spineless Paleo-Con that needs to pass-on??? Yeah, that's it, that's it."

Non-defense spending has risen over 20% during the Bush administration, the most of any since LBJ. The war also doesn't explain the Medicare bill, farm subsidies, the $31 billion full of pork energy bill he supported, or the fact that he has not vetoed a single spending bill while in office.

[A.J.Armitage]

So you are one of those, there is no arguing with a libertarian; you think you're smarter, that is fine, I wouldn't hold such a belief, I can tell you base your life on your superiority complex and have a hard time dealing with your peers.

You're making yourself look stupid again. That I answered a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit, say exactly nothing about the rest of my life.

That aside, the drug bill alone doesn't make up the budget does it??

Again, you said the increase in spending was because of the war. I'm here to point out that lots of non-military, non-war-related spending is going up too.

As far as 9-11 goes, I am certain you are doing nothing to contribute to your community to make things better. How, do I know, because are the Bill Maher type who thinks "Oh, it wasn't that bad"... people with that attitude contribute to one thing... themselves. I contribute to the community... freely.

Again, you decided the attacks weren't bad enough and needed exaggeration. If that isn't minimizing the attacks, I don't know what is.

[Porterville]

You said you are smarter then folks and bring up intelligence, clearly you are uncivil and have few friends because of your condescending attitude. I venture to guess the many unflattering things about you that I will hold back on because I am not a cruel man.... but I know your type, so to speak.

[A.J.Armitage]

You said you are smarter then folks

Wrong yet again. I said I'm smarter than you.

Despite what you might want to believe, that's not boasting. No more than claiming to be more chaste than Bill Clinton would be boasting.

[Porterville]

I'll leave you alone, you seem to be use to being alone.
