Excuse me but do you recall one big issue called 9/11, where over 3000 of our citizens were killed in one day? I would think that dealing with an issue that involves our continued existence is the one and only issue.
Fairness doctrine wouldn’t be bad, but then the Democrats would have to expose their true motive by deciding whether to apply it to all media types, or only applying it to the radio. I have such a freakin’ hunch I know which one they want.
And I’d so laugh when Rush Limbaugh calls CNN demanding equal time! LOL!

And what, aside from fighting the wrong war in the wrong place against the wrong enemy and killing more than 3000 more Americans (and many time that number of innocent civilians), did the Shrub do to “deal with it”?
scottfreitas: claiming that FAUX News is unbiased and that Obama is afraid to appear on it may be the best joke told all year.
Obama isn’t on FOX Pravda because they’re afraid to let him be.
Landshark ; We all remember 9/11. Less than 3,000 people were murdered and they were multinationals not just U.S. citizens. Now the same people who promoted ,”9/11, Fight terrorism! Invade Iraq!” are on the House floor saying, “Get out of Afghanistan! There is no oil there.” -Actually heard on the floor of the House this past week. -
If the past administration had concentrated on eliminating Al-Qaeda instead of avenging “Daddy Bush” in Iraq, we wouldn’t have the problem of trying to clean up the mess in Afghanistan. Now the call is to let the terrorists have their training ground and poppy fields back. Let’s finish the job where it matters.
Striper, Have you renounced the Socialist programs that you so decry? (Social Security and Medicare among others) For your information, Liberals do the same things as Conservatives and they hate to see their tax moneys used to subsidize oil companies, land barons, banks and the like. Look at the amount of revenue collected from the lower income taxpayers compared to the top one percent who control about 95% of our resources. Where does this money go? Of course, to the top one percent and other countries to pay interest on our National debt.
The Conservatives who are running the Republican party use poor people who are mostly uneducated to do their dirty work with statements like; “You don’t want the government telling you which doctor you can see, do you?” “The Democrats will take your guns away from you!”
landshark, others addressed your post and I agree with the thrust of their comments. 9/11 was a watershed event for the US, for good reason. But what else did Bush pay attention to besides Iraq and creating a bloated Homeland Security Dept.?
The economy fell apart under his watch, and assurances that the economy was sound continued right up until the meltdown of Bear Stearns in March 2008 and beyond.
Other than his fortunately unsuccessful attempt to privatize Social Security and turn the funds over to Wall St. to “invest” for retirees (yeah, sure!), Bush paid little attention to domestic matters.
All Presidents must handle many layers of many different issues and Bush just didn’t have the interest.
Does it occur to anyone that the guy “watching big brother” looks a little, well, odd, watching Obama all over the place? Maybe odder than Benson’s portrayal of a tea partyer.
I understand Obama gave a heck of a speech today at the UN, with lots of references to the past sins of the US. How about he mention some of the past sins of other countries too? He could even do that and then say, So we’re all learning together… but no, just rag on his own country. Pathetic.
Some of our past mistakes almost even look good, when compared to some countries’ histories.
olfart, whoa, and you’re right, you’re absolutely right. Single taxpayers all subsidize education and cost of raising children for the future of our country, but yes indeedy, it is indeed a subsidy.
Actually it has been shown that Joe Wilson was very much incorrect. He probably doesn’t even understand the definition of the term “lie” as many people don’t. To mistate something, to say something incorrect while believing it to be true is not lying. You only lie when you KNOW what you’re saying isn’t true. Like the people talking about death panels and internment camps and such. Those are lies. Even if Obama had been wrong, he wasn’t lying. And it turns out, he wasn’t even wrong.
Unfortunately for the country, nosenseatall, the only “issues” Obammy is working on are Time, Newsweek, the NY Times, Mother Jones, Jet and Ebony. Possibly High Times and readers Digest as well because they say “Laughter is the best medicine” and that will be the only medicine we can afford with the CHANGE left in our pockets after the thief cleans ‘em out.
Vasmosn, do you actually believe that the president did not know what he was uttering was an untruth? And it was, and is.
You also said: “Like the people talking about death panels and internment camps and such. Those are lies.”
Are you sure? Or could those folks be referring to things they believe to be true?
I guess no use in trying to explain the difference between a lie and an untruth……ok, let’s try it this way: He told the truth!! It has been PROVEN that the bill of which he spoke had no provisions for illegals to participate. Not only that, it specifically forbid them from participating. Now, if you want to argue that it didn’t go far enought, that’s one thing but to say that he lied, you’re just being obstinate and lying yourself
Again Stripper you want to get rid of all the safety nets because you don’t want some “gangsters” to smoke crack in government housing that you pay taxes on?
Then lets get rid of Medicaid and Medicare because that gangster will get old because he does nothing around the house your taxes pay for. Let’s also get rid of Social Security because there were times that thug worked some time in his life so he paid into the system.
Let’s also NOT pave his roads so he won’t be able to get away from the police, give him a longer prison term so he can still live off your dime, and the next time he gets out he’ll be much stronger and smarter so he can come across an illegal firearm and take your @ss out for messing up his scheme.
I realize this is a day late but just wanted to dispell one myth–that blacks/African Americans or as Stripper77 puts it, “gangsters in the hood” (meaning afro americans/minorities) are the main welfare recipients…
“Myth: Most Welfare Recipients Are African American Women
Fact: Most Welfare Recipients Are Children-Most Women on Welfare Are White
Children, not women, are the largest group of people receiving public assistance. Less than 5 million of the 14 million public assistance recipients are adults, and 90 percent of those adults are women (U.S. Bureau of Census, 1995). The majority of the recipients are White (38 percent), followed by 37 percent African Americans, and 25 percent other minority groups (Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans) (McLaughlin, 1997). However, African Americans are disproportionately represented on public assistance because they are only 12 percent of the population (O’Hare, Pollard, Mann, & Kent, 1991).”
