Bonds
If China were to dump all of their US Bonds, what would happen? What if China, Japan, and Saudi Arabia decided that the return on U.S. Bonds were of little value to them, and decided not to buy anymore? What would happen to our vibrant Economy? Would we be able BORROW money anymore, and from who?

I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church. Thomas Paine, Age of Reason.
Do birds have feathers? Of
Do birds have feathers? Of course they lied. And anyone in his administration that was worth anything stepped down when they discovered it was all a scam. Then when he (Bush) realized that the people were getting wise, he finally had that dumbass Rumsfeld step down, and tried to claim that he was misinformed. Just because he's a moron doesn't mean everyone else is. Maybe those of you who watch Fox News, cause you don't like the Liberal slant, would have known all about this years ago instead of just the past 6 months. Fox News should be called the Bush News Network!

they discovered it was all a scam
Do you really think that the ones who stepped down, didn't know that this was an Oil Grab from the beginning? I knew, as I'm sure many others did, that when Cheney had that Secret Energy Task Force meeting in 2002, and the rhetoric came out about WMDs; we were preparing for one of the most unethical journeys ever imagined in Human History. 100,000 to 600,000 Iraqis and 4,000 Brave American Soldiers later; our Nation's bankrupt, yet there are still Sheeple who go out shopping for Humvees and other Gargantuous SUVs, Detroit shows off their new Gasoline Hogs, because they all have this wild thwarted mindless belief that the Oil companies are gonna win, and we'll be paying $1.00/gallon at the pumps again. It ain't gonna happen, and to add to our War Bankruptcy, we're gonna be paying over $5.00/gallon within a year.
MrsBrad, I am wholeheartedly glad that you and most of the folks here, weren't sucked into this mindless Texo-Fascist nightmare. We WILL overcome, but our Nation will unfortunately first have to suffer a very painful era of re-educating the masses.
Obama versus McCain
Coming Novembre 2008: Obama vs. McCain (based on SC's returns)
McCain was borne in Panama, so I guess we need to git Katherine Harris outta retirement to so she can force the issue of McCain's inability to serve as President, since he's not naturally borne, and yet again overthrow the election.
Let's borrow Money for an Oil War. Ye'awn to?
2 TRILLION Dollars ago, we could have weaned ourselves from Middle Eastern Resource dependency, but a bunch of backwood Texans in the Whitehouse decided to invade and steal another's resources, to merely protect their buddies stranglehold on our wallets. And what do we have to show for it? $100 / barrel Oil with $3.00 / gallon Gasoline, $6.00 / gallon Milk, $1000 / ounce Gold, a worthless currency, Emergency Economic Stimulus Packages, and a Military stretched to a breaking point. We are witnessing Corporate Fascism, via the Neo-Con Party. (Not even all of the Repubs are falling for this crap.) The ONLY tool the Neo-Cons have left, is to rule by fear. And they're pretty good at getting their Corporate Owned Media Outlets to spout off "Terror Here, Terror There, Terror Terror Everywhere!" Real News has to be sifted from the Internet and Blogs.
You have got to be kidding.
Apparently, you did not read the link below while surfing the left-wing website you got the story from. You are sourcing a story propagated by an organization receiving funding from George Soros. Nice.
(link...)
Typical liberalism.
Lester

receiving funding from George Soros.
So?
Does that make any of the facts about the non-facts non-factual?
Please cite your evidence.
Did you expect Haliburton and Fox News to fund the study?
(Sorry if I stole your punchline to the poll, Forrest.)
No, but I did expect an anti-Bush group to fund the study.
The point is rational thinking people do not take groups funded by George Soros seriously. Much like you probably would show no credence to a survey administered by the National Right to Life Committee finding that the majority of American’s are opposed to abortion.

Rational as Pastor Ted
Are you talking about this sexually repressed, meth smoking superfreak? (link...) Or are these the rational folks you're talking about? (link...)
God needs an army? BTW- There is a second half to the Bible.
I'm beginning to think your right, we can't prove some people have evolved.
Yes. 935 times
Yes. 935 times apparently.

I'm guilty
I do get my news from FOX because I just don’t like liberal slant. So, guilty as charged.
I know. Bush lied, people died. Blah, blah, blah.
Lester
Please tell us what you learned from FOX.
Dear Lester (phinney),
Please tell us what you learned from FOX.
What was the WMD capability the Bush / Cheney Administration said Iraq HAD?
What WMD capability did Iraq actually have?
What did the Bush / Cheney Administration say was the Iraq government activity with al-Qaida before we invaded?
What did Iraq government activity with al-Qaida did pre-invasion Iraq actually have?

wow
I don't know you from Adam, Lester, but my goodness that comes across as cold and heartless.
