Henry would the term thick as a brick apply here?

[awol]

aaawwwwwww.  be nice.  he probably just isn't that familiar with greek mythology.

[me]

What does Greek Mythology have to do with anything???  I'm lost on that one too.

Me thinks yer confusin' this with a chicken little thing which it ain't....   Me thinks you have a case of ostrichitis.  Hate that too 'cause I like ya....

Me thinks yer confusin' this with a chicken little thing which it ain't....  

ok, then what is it?

[me]

ok, then what is it?

Reality, just plain reality. 

[awol]

ok, yer gonna paint a vaguely troubleing picture of the future without our ocupation of iraq...

and yet somehow you miss the idea that this is connected to cassandra?

let me see if i got it...

you have every confidance in jee dubya to keep us safe from harm at home, but only as long as we commit a certain number of our children/brothers/fathers to be thrown into the meat grinder over there?

and this is better somehow?

Would you rather we have them over here blowing up our buildings?  What is it about they want us wiped off the face of the earth that you don't understand?  All we have to do is show weakness and they will be all over us like white on rice.  Talking does no good they don't care. 

[Henry Hawk]

awol, I'm not in anyway shape or form, trying to belittle your point....you and I have been duking it out on issues for a long time now, and you know, I really like you....but, it is amazing how different we think....on one hand, I follow your logic on some issues dead on, though I disagree with the outcome.....but on this issue, it is like we completely miss....

I understand your cassandra point, but yet I don't see where it applies here at all....it is clear as can be, the dangers if we fail over there....and, I'm putting politics aside, I think that the telling the world we will pull out next march is the most disasterous move that we can ever make...

other than that, yer jest a poopiehead...to the 3rd degree...

Twenty-four to $25 billion of pork in this bill.  That's the price Pelosi had to pay in order to get the bare minimum of 218 votes in the House for passage, which comes out to $130 million a vote. That's about what it cost for her majority. The slim and the bare-essential number she got was 218, and that's it minimum you needed to win, and it cost $24 billion to $25 billion.  The Democrats have named their price for defeat now, and they're taking advantage of the opportunity here to be in the majority and put all this pork in it.  I want to say to all of you who were just fit to be tied over what the Republicans were doing last November thinking you were going to get a change. You got worse. 

Now, it will be interesting to see if there's any interest to hold Democrats accountable in November of 2008.

getting back on my subject....does anybody else find it amazing that Nancy Pelosi, who said she was going to run a more clean and honest congress, put's up a bill like this, and AGAIN the media, just kind of lets it slide away.....$25 BILLION in pork!
