I like your old intro a lot better

motivez · 09-10-2006, 08:25 PM

smart roads sounds really interesting.. kinda like in minority report. I think that'd be really good for safety (unless the software crashed, and i mean, software never does that.. right?

)

I don't like the censor thing though..

motivez · 09-10-2006, 08:28 PM

lol, keeping Nancy Pelosi from being the speaker is worth dying for?

He just loves the sound of his own voice.. but I think he realizes it's almost hopeless for them unless something major happens.

But, Cheney said that he'd be willing to bet that the Republicans win, so maybe he knows something everyone else on the planet doesn't.

Wes Clark

So glad he isn't afraid to stand up to the Fox News GOP pundits.

Cavuto says "We don't know for sure" when everything that's come out this week points that there's absolutely no proof of any kind of ties to terrorists, especially Al Qaeda.

Hell, Condi was on the news earlier saying the exact opposite! You can really tell it's election time when the neocons are out and about blatently lying about intelligence.

motivez · 09-10-2006, 08:38 PM

Hell yeah, Congress in 2002, Re-election in 2004..

He's gained big time over it. Nice of Cavuto to be Defender-in-Chief though..

motivez · 09-10-2006, 08:47 PM

Don King.. expert on how Bush has done with Katrina?

I guess he's the most recognizable black name that doesn't mind backing up Bush on something that no one else will.. Wonder how long it took them to find him?

motivez · 09-10-2006, 08:49 PM

The problem with comparing them (people who criticize) to Nazi appeasers that no one wants the terrorists to win, we just think there's a better way of going about this conflict.

Newt wont be getting my vote.

I don't understand how Colmes doesn't just quit. I'd get sick of the imbalance on that program every day of the week.

motivez · 09-10-2006, 08:54 PM

You make a really good point to her about whether or not it hurts more than helps ( I think I made a similar point in a thread about it ), and ultimately I think you're right

But, I understand her motivations completely. People need to be active in politics and policy in order to effect change, and when people are complacent, there's no hope for change.

motivez · 09-10-2006, 08:56 PM

I agree in part with her.. Fox News is a network which promotes policy rather than reports the news.

motivez · 09-10-2006, 08:57 PM

Yup. That "interview" was in reality a scolding / way for the GOP to "hit back" from her outburst..

motivez · 09-10-2006, 09:01 PM

She makes a good point about our willingness to have relations with China but not Cuba.. makes no sense.

motivez · 09-10-2006, 09:04 PM

It's unrealistic to suggest that we should have no foreign overseas military bases..
