Mike doesn't care about that. His whole world view is based around the idea that bush is satan. When the next terrorist attack comes, he'll blame it on bush then call for the elimination of the patriot act because it didn't work. Wouldn't it be nice to live in that little bubble?<BR/><BR/>One last thing. Although I've read a lot on this sight about how great WNOV is, I missed the post criticizing MC Gee for his comments about Sykes. So much for dignity. I'm sure that if the tables had been turned, Mike would have let that pass too. Don't worry, though, cause he always has truth on his side:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-90152386329987160212007-05-16T10:49:00.000-05:002007-05-16T10:49:00.000-05:00Mike, I would not count your chickens before they ...Mike, I would not count your chickens before they hatch. I remember in 1974 (I think that was the year), when everyone thought that Goldwater was going to run away with everything, look what happened with that.<BR/><BR/>As for Universal Health Care, I do not think the American people are truly aware of what that would entail. Long lines, rashing of care. Their already is a doctor shortage now, especially in outlaying areas, why on earth would a doctor go into medicine with universal healthcare. Their pay will be cut dramatically. A have many friends that our health care providers, doctors and nurses, and they all say that universal heatlh care will NEVER work in the county. Universal Health Care is like TABOR to the Republican. I see you are a lawyer, would you want to Goverment telling you how much you can charge a client? I think that most Doctors are against universal health care. Why do you want Government incharge of healthcare.

"Wing", because they are right-wing; "-nuts", because they are irrationally slavish in their devotion to 1) making excuses for Bush and 2) trying to impugn the integrity of anyone who disagrees with them. Nuts -- how else do you describe someone who continues to support the tragic Bush debacle in Iraq ?<BR/><BR/>As for your charactorization of the Democrats, you appear to have fallen into the trap of buying what the wing-nuts are selling. Except for universal health care -- aside from Iraq, the number one concern of Americans -- I am unaware of any new government programs being pushed by the major candidates. The primary job of anyone coming in after the Bush years will be to kick out the cronies and revive the necessary government programs we already have that have been decimated by neglect and corruption throughout the bureaucracy.<BR/><BR/>As for taxes, yes, the Dems are for eliminating some (but not all)tax breaks for the rich that the Republicans gave (and then cynically sunsetted). I don't know where you get your $200K figure, but I don't think anyone considers that the threshhold. <BR/><BR/>In any event, you can believe what you want to believe. Guiliani is so lame and conflicted, he would be in the middle of the pack in the Democratic field -- way behind Clinton, Obama and Edwards. He is at the front of the Republican field because there is no one else of substance there. My guess is that the GOP will eventually go for someone like Junior Bush, the pliable empty suit -- Romney certainly seems willing to do or say anything to get support.<BR/><BR/>They better get their act together soon. There has to be somebody with an "R" next to their name in the history books when the story of the Democratic Landslide of 2008 is told.Mike Plaistedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184502941014520240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-47018584651295414252007-05-16T10:20:00.000-05:002007-05-16T10:20:00.000-05:00To eddypo:They may be the righties talking points ...To eddypo:<BR/><BR/>They may be the righties talking points but its the truth. Why are they wrong? Increased spending and higher taxes are not the answer. The Government needs to be smarter and more efficient, with our tax money. For example, one can throw all the money on education or poverty, but that will not make those situations better. Why is it that the Federal Goverment took in more money in tax receipts this year than in any previous year? When tax rates are low, the economy grows, and the Goverment receives more money. When tax rates are high, the economy slows. The problem is that when Congress cut the tax rates, they spent money like crazy, they were not fiscally responsible. I believe that most of the Democrats that won in 2006, were mostly conservative democrats or at least fically conservative democrats, at least on the Federal level. I am not sure who I will vote for, but if Bill Richardson can win the Democratic primary, I will vote for him. <BR/><BR/>I agree with most people on the left that the US needs to be more diplomatic with our enemies other than just using military. I also agree, that the Goverment should play a role in helping people in need. However, I do not believe in entitlement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-9524317845212157542007-05-16T09:48:00.000-05:002007-05-16T09:48:00.000-05:00To Anonymous:Thats funny.

It seems to me that you are nothing but a "left-wing" nut. Do you describe yourself that way? I am an independent, however, I must say that other than getting us out of Iraq, the left does not offer much, instead of higher taxes, more Government programs, and increased regulation. The Democrats have only been in power for 5 1/2 months and already they want to increase taxes and increase spending. My gosh, the left's golden boy John Edwards wants to increase taxes to rates above Clinton levels. He says only on the rich, I do not think that a family that makes $200,000 a year is rich, well off yes, but not rich. Anyways, to pay for all of these new programs, taxes will be raised on everybody. Increased taxes will kill the economy. The Republican's shot themselves in the foot, with their increased spending and Iraq. I do not think, the majority of the US wants increased Goverment spending. <BR/><BR/>You say the GOP candates are a sorry lot, but what is so great about the Dem's. It is more of the same tired stuff. The rich are bad, tax more, increase entitlement programs (Universal Healthcare), etc. <BR/><BR/>What this country needs are good common sense ideas, that are centrist, not from the far left or the far right. It seems to me that none of the Dem's candates are centrist, but are left leaning. At least, one of the GOP candates, Rudy, is at least a bit in the middle.<BR/><BR/>The left's ideas do not work, look at France, they elect a conservative. Most of the EU economy is in sad shape. Why do you want to return to the Carter years with high unemployment, high interest rates, high inflation, high taxes and slow economic growth?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
