Where did I say it was better? There are many elements of the US modal which are far superior. For instance when I was watching parts of the hearing for Ms Rice I thought it was great that the legislature had the power to interegate proposed candidates like that. Westminster has no such powers, they can ask questions about policy but they dont have a say in who gets the jobs. |

I must object as well to the stereotyping of "lefties" here. There are plenty of people who consider themselves progressive (although maybe not "lefties" ) that are very similar to conservatives and that do not "constantly whine about the world ending" which I am not sure what is meant by that. Are we to be chastized for criticizing the current administration? Erring on the side of caution? What is it that "lefties" are "whining" about that is annoying you so that you would lump everyone on one side of the political spectrum into a constant activity of "whining about the end of the world"? |

The cost of Clinton's second inaugural was comparable (more, factoring in inflation). Now you know.
Bull. You DO NOT know that. You are supposing, most likely based on what you want to believe.
I didn't, and neither did the rest of the country, except for the ABB crowd. What did he do that was embarrassing? Not hand over the keys to the Treasury and say "help yourself"? Bull. YOU DO NOT KNOW what the plan was to deal with the disaster. Just let it the f*** go. I've told you what a carrier group costs to run per day. Aside from the Brits, who else offered that kind of help? Hmmm? No, your carping and whining is petty. I've noticed this behavior before... someone in the MSM creates a Bush "controversy" and you jump all over it without bothering to check the facts. I also find that petty, but amusing, "Captain Lefty." As for being a moderator, I do not moderate this forum. My style of commentary is quite restrained over what I'd like to say to the crowd who needs to get over themselves and start being Americans again.

I guess if you don't like the president you're not really an American right AB? Did you have this same reaction to the venomous ire directed at Clinton? |

Why the hell can't you bunch get over your petty little selves and be Americans again? This is about the country. IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU AND WHATEVER LITTLE DISAGREEMENT YOU HAVE OVER THE PRESIDENT'S POLICY. |

I never supported what was directed at Clinton WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT. First of all, he was my CINC, and I do not disrespect he who is at the top of the chain of command. You make it personal. Rather than dislike the man but respect the office, you lump the two together. IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU, YOU SELFISH GOOBERS! |

I am an American, and the fact that I don't like the current leadership doesn't change that. Contrary to your opinion, my opposition to the president's policies does not make me a danger to the country. Blind following and rampant nationalism is a far greater danger than dissent. How do you know I disrespect the office? What behavior is that attributed to? |

Time to put something here

I thought the same thing when this made up issue first started to make the rounds. I believe 100% that if Bush did give a lot at the beginning we would have heard people complain that Bush was giving to much and how it was going to negatively effect our economy and how we where going to make our children pay for our generosity. If you look hard enough for anything you will find it – that includes fault. |

True, we have already deficit spended our asses off and are continuing to do so now. It would be difficult to afford relief efforts especially with two wars and a planned mission to Mars, and of course the lavish inauguration bash. |

Sorry I missed this one earlier: Progressive... HA! Regressive is more like it. As for "chastizing" the administration, ALL YOU DO IS FIND FAULT. Bush could have the ability to walk on water and you'd fault him for not swimming like the rest of us. You don't err on the side of caution. Your side OBSTRUCTS. You want to forget that the most important event in recent history ever existed and nitpick everything the administration does to prevent another one. It is vindictive, it is wrong, and some of it (especially Messrs. Kennedy and Kerry) borders on treason. Today you are whiningg about the inauguration costing too much. Last week it was the tsunami. The week before it was oil prices. You whine, but never offer solutions. You are free to criticize, but don't give other options. In my opinion, those on the left side of the aisle live in the past, know that their power base is eroding, and will do absolutely anything, including manipulate a sycophantic press, fix elections, and lie to get their power base back. |
