Their guess is that the GOP nominees will be

And for the Dems, what would be your "nightmare ticket", Harry
Either Hillary or Barack in the White House suits me just fine.
You like nightmares??

==========================

Choose your favorite nightmare. They're all bought & paid for.
There are
no
exceptions. Hopefully, you can figure out who's the best
scumbag of the
lot.
When you do, come back and explain how you did it.
No, you'll have to figure that out on your own.

============================

I have a system of sorts. I know every president since Carter
has been on
their knees, blowing the Saudi royal family, which is what got
us into the
**** we're in lately. That eliminates Hillary. Guilt through
association.
Romney never stops smiling. Give that asshole a pair of tacky
white shoes
and he could be selling used cars all day long. He's off the
list. Huckabee
is a disgrace even to some evangelicals. He's off the list. That
leaves
McCain & Obama. Maybe...just maybe they haven't been fondled by
the Saudis,
and in the moment of sanity, they'll do the right thing with
that country.

What would you have them do, oh bright one? Sell oil only to the
Chinese
and Russians?

"Mr. Ambassador, remember the 20-30 pages of information hidden
from the 9/11 commission? The information which would've made it
clear that we should've invaded your country, instead of the wrong
one? Would you like that information released to the press?"

"Now, let's talk about the price of oil, shall we?"
Damn that is so simple, I wonder why no one else has thought about
it. If only you and Harry would go to Washington we wouldn't have
all of these problems.


Why would the president who classified the information want to
declassify it, especially since it probably would prove embarrassing
not only to him, but also to his father?
There are going to be years of lawsuits and books to release info
being kept secret by the Bushcrappers. Most of the info has to do
with politics, not national security, and some of it will see the
light of day. When it does, it will only further diminish Bush's low
standing among presidents.

I can imagine a history book 50 years from now that describes how
Bush started a war for personal political reasons that ended up
killing hundreds of thousands of people.

There ought to be payback on Bush and Cheney for what they have done
to this country and the world, but, of course, there won't be.


You day "hundreds of thousands of people".

I think to be fair, on the Iraqi side you have to take into account
how many Saddam may have been responsible for if left unchecked. He
didn't have an exemplary track record.

As of the coalition side, a terrible loss.


There is no need to speculate over how many might be dead if Saddam were
still in power. What's the point of that? The point is, Bush's actions
resulted in the deaths of up to hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and for
what? For Bush's personal political reasons.


Harry,
Instead of saying "...resulted in the deaths of up to hundreds of
thousands of Iraqis" it would be just as accurate to say ... "resulted
in the deaths of up to hundreds of millions of Iraqis". The way you
worded that sentence it doesn't matter what number you use, it is still
a true statement.
