  • So what happens this time?,

    James Bremner:

    I bet none of you know much about Nancy Pelosi, the loony tunes San Fran lib who would become speaker if the Dems win. Well, Osama, Al Zawaheri, Kim Jong Il, Armdinajad the head hackers in Iraq and various other assorted despots will be happy campers indeed if Nancy is the new Speaker. She sees terrorism as a law enforcement issue. Not much use if you become one of the people who have to jump 100 floors to your death (like the people in the top floors of the WTC on 9/11) in the next terrorist attack that she would make much easier for terrorists to successfully launch , if she got her way.

    snip

    "Would that be the same bush that allowed the 9/11 terrorist attacks to occur?"

    I see loony tunes exists in NZ as well as San Fran. Do you seriously think that any American would have allowed the 9/11 attacks to occur? I mean seriously?! To describe such views as "silly", is an insult to "silly'.

    How silly.

    I really don't see the merit in rewarding the Democrats. They've been the most dismal opposition party imaginable - the Republican party has just had the worst six months possible, yet there the Dems are, unlikely to retake the Senate and blindsided by a Republican dirty tricks campaign that they didn't anticipate even though the GOP has been using underhand tactics in every election for the last decade.

    I can't see how voting these feeble clowns into office is going to have the slightest effect on the Bush presidency or the way he conducts 'The War on Terror'. The only change I anticipate is that the talking heads in the US media will instantly start complaining about the Democrats failure to improve the war or balance the budget.

    Let the Democrats die a natural and well deserved death while the Republicans run the country into the ground. Maybe a decent political system will rise from the ashes. It's better than acting as co-enablers to a cabal of religious idiots.

  • Depravity, anyone?,

    I wouldn't rush to mock 'Wonks' - the first three seasons of 'The West Wing' had genuinely gripping episodes devoted to census methodologies and estate tax repeal.
