The pawns need to stop sucking up to some of the dirt-bags, but I don't see it happening.

I see the opposite with globalization.

He's just chewin' the fat Marmite.

Snaffie, AO, & MtD,

I just wanted you guys to know that I gain more and more confidence everyday that the Republicans will retain control of both the House and the Senate in the midterm elections. And not only that ... but I'm gaining confidence that another Republican will relieve GWB in January 2009. The American people know the lesser of the two evils is always a Republican.

Your good mate,

SK

Very general post, with nothing substantive.

Like I said before: is the US going to change, regardless of what party is in control?

There won't be any substantive changes, anyway.

Even if I explained you wouldn't be able to understand. You've shown time-after-time that to be true.

Luv how you always find a way to poke at both sides though. Unable to take a position.

Much easier and more comfortable to lob stones that way.

^ You're making hunches.

Check out polling data on rasmussan reports or whatever before you pontificate abstract soliloquys.

I found the article. His name is William L. Monson.

Trial filed by American against caretaker PM to start in Sept

A Criminal suit filed by an American businessman against caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will go on trial in September, a Thai court said on Monday.

The South Bangkok Criminal Court said the trial, involving a business venture that dated back to the late 1980s, will start on September 18.

American businessman William L Monson filed criminal charges May 2, after winning a civil court case last year against Thaksin.

Yeah them Rasmussen polls show GWB gaining popularity as of late dont' they ?

What's up with the weak ad hominem attacks ?

What's that other grandiose term you like to bandy about ? Non sequitur ? You tryin' to confuse a redneck brada with that shit ?

Did you know that those who try to overintellectualize stuff when they aren't intellectuals are usually rife with emotional problems ?

I'm sure I don't have to tell you what overemphasizing intellect reveals.

You're like a broken record. You point out the same things over and over but I've never read a single constructive idea from you on how to make things better. All you ever do is tell us were doomed to failure and fuckin' things up. Do you have any constructive suggestions ? I'm tired of the same old broken record of things like how bad things are in Iraq and then the next day you suggesting we nuke them.

President Bush and the 2006 Elections

By Mark Noonan

Around the left blogosphere, there is a conviction that President Bush's alleged unpopularity is something that the Democrats can leverage into control of Congress in the November elections. In a nutshell, the leftwing idea is to "nationalise" the mid-terms and get everyone to punish the GOP Congress for the supposed sins of President Bush. This is an arguable position to hold - if we GOPers were facing a mid-term with a Democratic President polling, in some polls, in the low-30's of support, we'd be very bullish on our chances. But there is a world of difference between Democrats with a GOPer in office and GOPers with a Democrat in office.
Jay Cost over at real clear politics has an excellent article showing just how hard it would be for the Democrats to nationalise the mid-terms...indeed, Cost points out that not only is the 1994 model not sufficient, it isn't even possible for the Democrats to duplicate that years election. Cost does note that perhaps the Democrats have an entirely new and unknwon strategy to nationalise the elections - and that is what I want to talk about. Suppose the Democrats do manage to nationalise the elction: would that work to their advantage, or disadvantage?
My opinion is that it would work to the Democrats' detriment to have the election nationalised. While most of the Democrats in Congress are in reilably safe liberal/left seats, probably 20% of their seats are still in marginal districts - center/right districts who like their allegedly center/right Democratic Representative, but who would be dismayed if they really connected Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to their Democratic incumbant. Democrats, outside of their dark blue areas of control, only manage to cling on to power by hiding what they represent. There's a reason why a Nancy Pelosi will never run for Governor of California - outside of the leftist political hothouse of San Francisco, she'd wilt and collapse in short order...she can only be elected in San Francisco or a similar area, and she remains less than a poison pill for center/right Democrats elsewhere only in so far as the center/right constituents remain largely ignorant of both Pelosi's views, and her connection to any particular local Democrat.
If the Democrats managed to nationalise the election, it will be a fight between Pelosi/Reid and President Bush...I'll give you three guesses who wins that one, and the first two don't count. In spite of leftwing ravings of a political nature, the American people are center/right and the GOP is the majority Party of the United States because it is the center/right Party...in order for the Democrats to really win, they'd have to become much further right than they are now, and that just isn't going to happen. Indeed, the left in the Democratic Party is currently attempting a purge of the remaining centrist Democrats, with their campaign against Lieberman being just the most prominent effort in this campaign.
It is because of this that we're starting to see some attempted nationalisation on the part of the GOP - anyone really familiar with American political reality knows that the best way for the GOP to win is to get out there and campaign as aggressively as possible as conservative GOPers and point out just what the Democrats are advocating. It would be quite ironic if both Democrats and Republicans ended up making the 2006 mid-terms a referendum on the GOP in general, and President Bush in particular...ironic and quite a lot of fun, because the GOP would gain a substantial number of seats if that were to happen.

I have confidence he isn't quite that defeatist.

I stated this before because it's a serious issue that's been ignored for several decades and will continue to be.

You've missed the humour with the nuke, joke. This goes back to when me and Marko would intentionally post this to stir people up. It was fun.

This is just tooo daggum funny

Yet Another Leftist Loses...
By Mark Noonan

...and, naturally, claims he was cheated:

MEXICO CITY — Conservative presidential candidate Felipe Calderon held a slim but apparently insurmountable lead Monday over leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who alleged widespread fraud and said he would not concede defeat.

With 98% of polling stations reporting, Calderon led Lopez Obrador by 402,000 votes, or about 1 percentage point. Lopez Obrador would need to win three-quarters of the remaining 800,000 uncounted ballots to surpass his rival.
But Lopez Obrador told reporters Monday at his party headquarters that early tallies by federal electoral authorities were missing 3 million votes. The allegation could not be verified.
"There are many irregularities," Lopez Obrador alleged. "Obviously, there was a manipulation" of the results, he said.

The problem with our leftwing friends - and it is apparantly a universal around the world - is that they convince themselves that they are going to win and when they lose, they simply can't believe it. This is something hard for centrists and conservatives to understand - but if you just twist your mind a bit to think that you are, well, perfect...all caring, all knowing, all sensing, etc...then you start to feel that the only reason someone wouldn't vote for you is that they are extraordinarily stupid, or evil...and the evil ones, who mostly work for Halliburton, will manipulate the stupid and the vote counting in order to win.

...and the evil ones, who mostly work for Halliburton, will manipulate the stupid and the vote counting in order to win.

So this is not true, then?

LOL. The mexicans have learn well from their masters

An Interesting Endorsement

Republican James Haldeman, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel who ran civil-military operations in Fallujah last year, and candidate for the Rhode Island Legislature, has received a unique endorsement from the mayor of Fallujah, Iraq

[James Haldeman] is running for the seat held by Democratic state Rep. John Patrick Shanley Jr. The endorsement from Mayor Dhari Abdul Hadi al-Irssan describes Haldeman, 50, as Fallujah's "favorite USA colonel." Haldeman's translator in Iraq forwarded the endorsement to him by e-mail, said Chuck Newton, spokesman for the Rhode Island GOP.
According to Newton, Al-Irssan said he would support Haldeman for president if he chose to run.
"As flattered as I am, I think that to serve in (House) District 35 will be plenty for me right now," Haldeman said.
