Enron was going in the toilet during the excesses and anything goes
policy of the previous democrat administration. The same folks that

The previous democrat administration extended to November 9, 2001? What was Bush between January and November

are more interested in making things difficult for President Bush
than what's best for the country. Clinton used Haliburton to rebuild
Kosovo. But no one brings that up when they bash Bush for using them.

Al Gore didn't financially benefit from Haliburton in Kosovo. That's what conflict of interest is all about. Cheney's relation to Haliburton, Bush's relation to Enron or ADM throws suspicion on their decisions.

The same ones that are now complaining about the insurgency in Iraq
that would have squealed like Ned Beatty had we killled those guys
rather than let them fade back into the population. The same ones

The ones complaining about the insurgency in Iraq (Bush, Rumsfield, et al) are the same ones who dismissed accurate predictions that Iraq would be a tar baby. Given their past ability to predict the location of WMD, American troops being cheered by locals, how it would be a cakewalk, how Iraqi oil would pay for it all, do you really believe Cheney when he tells us that back of the insurgency has been broken?

Of course, the Downing Street memos show that Bush knew along he was lying about WMD.

that whine "why did we attack Iraq when N. Korea and Iran are such
threats" when you know damn well had we attacked Iran they'd just
substitute Iraq in that sentence.

Or you could get your head out of your butt long enough to realize the question points out Bush's hypocrisy. For all of Bush's blather about democracy, he remarkably blase about Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, PRC, Sudan, etc. And Bush cheered on the coup d'etat of the democratically elected government of Venezula (or participated in the plot). His bone headed bashing of Iranian elections brought an anti-American candidate into second place. Then again a hostile Iran really is in Bush's interest.

It took the Democrats 40 years to **** things up as badly as it has
gotten. It's going to take a long time to correct especially with an
opposition more interested in regaining power than doing what's best
for America.

When exactly did that forty year period end? Before or after the WTC was destroyed? Before or after the debt was doubled again making Social Security untenable? Before or after high paying jobs were outsourced to Asia? Before or after the Army was bogged down in war it can't extricate itself from? Before or after 1700 dead and 12000 wounded American soldiers? Before or after the first balanced budget since before Reagan? Before or after Army recruiting plummeted? Before or after DPRK withdrew from NPT? Before or after religious whackos were allowed to violate the First Amendment? Before or after the Senate was prepared to abandon two centuries of unlimited or nearly unlimited debate? Before or after most countries of the world listed the USA as the greatest threat to world peace? Before or after Manhattan sized icebergs broke off Antarctica? Before or after medical costs are driving middle class families into bankruptcy? Before or after middle class families are driven into perpetual debt because of medical costs? Before or after the only medical care available to most poor people is expensive emergency care?

Perhaps it would help if you listed specifically what you consider a "**** up."

Those dickweeds couldn't wait to crucify Sen. Lott for some remarks
made at a birthday party. But nary a word when one of their own

At what point has Lott repudiated Thurman's bigotry he was cheering on? At what point did Lott repudiate his connection to the racist CCC and apologize for it? At what point did Republicans repudiated the openly racist Dixiecrats that swelled their party ranks in the fifties? At what point did Republicans stop pointing Byrd's KKK past or did they start pointing out the Byrd utterly repudiated that past and apologized for his decisions in his youth?

compares treatment of illegal combatants by US soldiers at Gitmo to
that of the people in Nazi Concentration Camps and Soviet Gulags
where millions were tortured and killed. During a time of War no
less. What a pitiful sack of ****.

I've noticed one thing about the whole Durbin brouhaha: Durbin asked a question. Nobody has yet answered his question. It seems as the question is so embarrassing that people would rather stifle the question that deal with it.

What about? If you had read accounts of what was done without knowing who had done it, would you assume that it been American soldiers?

If liberals want redistribute wealth and force the hiring of

Do you think it stabilizes the country to have a vast and increasing gulf between rich and poor? Do you think other countries like this are models are political stability? Why do you feel that the profit from productivity increases should only go to small fraction of people who neither work more productivity nor invent the productivity increases? Is it fair that the laborer whose sweat and blood increases the company's value should sink into poverty?

unqualified persons why don't they just take it upon themselves and
do it? We won't stop them.

Only bigoted scum still believe some groups of people are inherently inferior or superior. Even Mississippi is walking away from that sewer.
