( OT ) Republican lies (are people THAT dumb?)
From a RNC memo
From: "Ken Mehlman, RNC Chairman" Bunch of BS snipped First, more people have come to understand the structural problems facing Social Security's solvency over the last two months, and thus, the issue has become more important to them. The latest Gallup poll shows that Americans think Social Security is now the most important domestic issue. At 12%, Social Security has increased by 8% since January and is a greater concern than the economy (10%), health care (9%), or terrorism (9%). more BS snipped Second, more Americans agree that Social Security needs strengthening. According to the recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, 72% of Americans think the Social Security system is headed down the road to a crisis or will require major changes in order to head of a crisis. Even seniors believe that changes are necessary to Social Security: a recent Ayres McHenry poll found 66% of Americans over age 55 believe that Social Security needs changes. A recent Gallup poll even found a majority of Americans (51%) believe that it is necessary for Congress to pass legislation to make changes to Social Security this year. NOW google "ABC News/Washington Post poll +social security" and find http://www.pollingreport.com/social.htm From the survey "Do you approve or disapprove of the job President Bush is doing in each of these areas? Handling of Social Security issues."

Draw your own conclusions. Too many people listening to liberal bull****. Now *here's* a decent story, just for you and yours! Iraqi Commandos Strike Insurgent Training Site American Forces Press Service TIKRIT, Iraq, March 22, 2005 – Members of Iraq’s 1st Police Commando Battalion today discovered and attacked an apparent insurgent training facility in southwestern Salah Ad Din province. The commandos are part of the interim Iraqi government’s interior ministry. The officers received both indirect and direct fire from the facility as they approached near Lake Tharthar on the border with Iraq’s Anbar province, officials said. They attacked and forced the insurgents to break contact. Elements of Task Force Liberty’s Aviation Brigade provided supporting fire, and soldiers from the 1st Brigade Combat Team responded to support the Iraqi commando attack. An early assessment of the site indicates a facility for training insurgents, a Multinational Force Iraq statement said, adding that documentation at the facility indicates that some were foreign fighters. Initial reports from the Ministry of Interior forces said seven Iraqi commandos were killed and six others were wounded. An undetermined number of insurgents and foreign fighters were killed at the site, officials said. No Task Force Liberty soldiers were reported wounded in the incident. “Iraqis can take immense pride today in the conduct of their security forces,” said Maj. Gen. Joseph J. Taluto, commander of the 42nd Infantry Division and Task Force Liberty. “Today’s actions indicate how strong Iraqi security forces are becoming and how far they can reach.” Task Force Liberty consists of the Army National Guard’s 42nd Infantry Division Headquarters and base units along with the 116th Brigade Combat Team and 278th Regimental Combat Team, and the 1st and 3rd Brigade Combat Teams from the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division. (From a Multinational Force Iraq news release.) ************************************************** ********** Good news, hey? -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |

Sorry John, I did not mean to come across as not understanding your point. I understand it perfectly and am glad you brought it up. I was just talking about copyright laws that a few posters here continue to break by posting copyrighted articles in their entirety. |
