I really should be working right now, but this is just too good to pick apart. No, terrorists aren't protected under the Constitution. They ARE protected under the Geneva Convention, and holding them indefinitely without substantial cause or trial is a blatant violation. Not a "well, let's experiment a little..." violation, a "oh shit, oh shit, I've been subpoenaed to the Hague" violation. I am absolutely against sending federal funding outside of the country for something that can be easily done at home. Although it's really tempting, I won't enter into a abortion debate with you in this thread. Haven't heard about this, I have a feeling there's more to this story. Limiting pay on executives that HAVE TAKEN GOVERNMENT MONEY. It's kinda hard to repay an 25 billion investment when the CEO's taking home a 25 million or so pay package AND a golden parachute of 160 million. We should not have bailed out GM and Chrysler. Bush did it too, but with MUCH less oversight than Obama. You want to talk about bank bailouts, talk to Bush. Paulson wanted COMPLETE immunity and UNQUESTIONABLE AUTHORITY to do whatever he wanted. You really think that's the way to run government? 65-70% isn't a majority? Cap and trade is a TERRIBLE idea. There is absolutely no reason for government to be in this at all. Citation, please? That fly deserved it. I think declaring war is a little harsh, eh? Considering all the half-truths and opinions spewed simply to stir the pot and get a temporary ratings boost, are they really a news agency? Haven't heard anything about this, either. Citation, please? Not this shit again. This stuff started with REAGAN. You know, the guy all Conservatives hold up as the One, the Gold Standard to which all other conservatives are measured? Yeah. Another manufactured outrage by Fox. American doesn't torture. Period. Even Cheney said it. Waterboarding is torture. Period. Even the conservative talking head Mancow said it. You need me to draw you a picture? Yes, and put me in the category of "didn't deserve it" too. I don't think you really understand what the cost of the "if you're not with us, you're against us" foreign policy of the last 6 years was. A little contrition is necessary before any fences are mended. CfC was a dumb idea too. Now the people that ran out to get any financing they could to afford a new Corolla, knowing they couldn't afford their upside-down 10 year old Explorer anyway are defaulting. You can't trust that stupid people will make good financial decisions the second time around. Didn't do my homework on the tax cuts either, I have no opinion.
