With the anti-Wal Mart sentiment greater here on the upper east coast than the rest of America...it's quite possible these kids will be lauded by their parents and neighbors.
THAT is disgusting.
No surprise another day another non stop shooting our own in the back from the 100%er Choir.
Gee these people almost cost us 2004, these people did cost us 2006 and they will cost us 2008 if they cannot learn to stop mindlessly regugitating Democrat Campaign Contributor Mike Savage's screaming nonsense and actual start fighting the Democrats on SOMETHING. Spending ALL their time shooting our own in the back is NOT IN THE LEAST helpful. They spends so much time screaming hysteria and nonsense they simply dorwned out any news that does NOT valiate their emotion based hysterics.
HERE are the facts on Iraq. They have been made readily available to the Always Angry Freepers over and over and over. Maybe instead of spending ALL their time as Terrorists propaganda echo chambers they MIGHT acutally reading the BASIC facts about Iraq and talk about THOSE?

For example, why are the Always Angry, along with the Junk media, continually having daily mental melt downs about 20-30,000 Militants in Iraq and completely ignoring the other 24,970,000 Iraqis?
Maybe the BEST thing would be for the Always Whining wing of the Conservative movement to sit down, shut up and actually FINALLY learn some things about Iraq.
Snugs,
I can read on just one FreeRepublic thread so many things that Dubya NEVER mentions in his speeches. Sure he gives the same old rhetoric but I read things that hell, I think the PRESIDENT should be saying.
Giving a speech is one thing. Really saying something is quite another.
They were talking about the increase at work the other day. When I pointed out that most employers cant afford to absorb an increase of .90 an employee and that there would be layoffs, I got the "Rich people will have to give up their Escalades for the poor people" speech. Fat part of the bell curve is exactly right..
Maybe if the 100% ers talked to more people like me who have had boots on the ground and took less of their info from the DBM...they'd have a better perspective on what we are doing over there.
More than probable from what I have read on FR about some of the attitudes towards Walmart.
I'm afraid you're probably right.
The Mongol hordes have become the Muslim hordes.
Okay, above is a perfect example. I have NEVER heard President Bush say this. We're not stupid out here in la-la land. Talk to us average Americans like we have some brains.
Or, how about some poignant interviews with some Iraqis? Hey, this is stuff the Dems are great at.
OR, how about some heart-to-heart talks by our military, given from the presidential bully pulpit?
Give me some time and I'll come up with a good PR campaign to change the public sentiment.
It's like that "no weapons of mass destruction" thing. The President, and the pubbies, let this mantra go on until now it's accepted wisdom. Hey, say something enough and it becomes the truth.
As it is, I wonder if the President isn't tired of the fight and ready to leave office. All I see is him kissing the Dems' butt lately, frankly, and firing Rumsfeld when he did was the ultimate slap in the face.
Your mileage may vary.
And they are attitudes that I have never understood.
I beg to differ and I probably follow as close if not more closely what he actually says seeing as I am involved in the Day in the Life thread. Whether it is reported acturately or reported at all is another thing.
I also agree with your comments MNJohnnie in post #246 and would add this link

Wise words
Whether he quit or was fired doesn't matter. The timing of the announcement was BAD and I'll never change my thought on this.
Come on, when something like this happens the day AFTER an election when the opposition party took over the House and Senate, it LOOKS like defeat. It LOOKS like the President acknowledged that raging and incomprehensable mantra that Rummy needed to go. It LOOKS like he threw in the towel.
Bush could have waited a few weeks. Rumsfeld could have come up with some family obligation nonsense. There's a million ways it could have been handled.
That act alone caused me to be disillusioned. I thought, and still think, Rumsfeld is a great man and a good leader. Don't tell me about me doing the research, yada, yada, when the President didn't have enough sense to handle this little thing a whole lot better.
That was a major mistake and I felt like I was slapped right in the face.
