Evaluation of the policies of George W. Bush and his Republican conservatives on America.



The most ridiculous argument is the objection of Bush and the Conservatives to federally supported research using stem cells. The sanctity of life is the chant. The truth is that there are over 400,000 frozen stem cells that are the result of In Vitro Fertilization. The vast majority of these stem cells will be destroyed as medical waste. The issue is WHY not allow Federally Funded research using these Stem cells that will be destroyed eventually.

Congress needs to pass such a law that allows unneeded stem cells that result from In Vitro Fertilization with the consent of the donors to be used in research. In that way new Stem Cells that were created outside the In Vitro process could NOT be used for federally Funded Research and rather then just destroying existing embryos, without benefiting anyone, donors would have the option to allow their use to help relieve human suffering.

The other argument of Bush and the conservatives is that this research can be conducted with private funding. This is true but that limits the amount of research that will be done. The final argument to pass this legislation is that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans support this research. Thus in a Democracy it is time that the majority override the minority and Congress should pass the legislation allowing Federally Funded Stem Cell research using embryos from In Vitro Fertilization over a Bush veto if continues to oppose this policy.

PROOF Saddam was no danger:

Sorry col, but that is not proof.  19 men with razors killed over 3000 people, so don't tell me that a person who gassed his own people was not somehow a danger.  We have shown you time and time again where Saddams WMD's have not been accounted for.  The question was never if Saddam had WMD's, it's what did he do with them!

The fact remains Bush invaded a third rate country while ignoring Iran who is moving forward with their nuclear program and North Korea who has tested nuclear weapons since we invaded Iraq. Afghanistan is getting worse by the day and Ben Laden is still free

Ah yes, typically DNC talking points.  I don't see Bush ignoring Iran or North Korea.  He's going through the U.N. as useless as it is.  If Bush was to attack Iran today you would be the first one posting complaining about Bush not doing enough to "talk" with them. 

Once again if you read beyond the headlines, progress is still being made in places like Afghanistan.  Your complete one-sided NYT viewpoint of everything is really tiresome.  Do you know we have capture and/or killed THOUSANDS of terrorists col?  Do you EVER take the time to read about the PROGRESS we have made in the war against so-called radical islam? 

Every other day we read your posts about Iraq, but you offer no solution except surrender!

Jets buried under the sand are not an Air Force. Defeating his Army in two months proves he did not pose a danger to the U.S. He had NO nuclear program which our Intelligence told Bush before March 2003. There was Intel that said he did not have the BIO WMD Bush claimed. The Pentagon study that said Saddam was only capable of conducting military operations in the central section of Iraq clearly showed the threat Bush and Cheney claimed DID NOT EXIST.

Bush has done NOTHING that has proven effective in dealing with Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine Authority, Syria, Cuba etc. He has not been effective Foreign Policy in ANY area in 6 years! We are worse off in every area in the world including with our traditional allies!

Again I call "Bullshit"! How many planes do you need for an effective airforce? Remember now they found 30-40 planes with all the bells and whistles that Russia has, not just a few.

The fact that 140,000 American troops could destroy Saddam's military in two months PROVES that he was NO threat to this country. The fact there was NO Nuclear or Bio WMD as many intelligence reports said PROVED he was no threat to this country. Bush and Cheney hyped the threat and made a mountain out of a mole hill. That has cost us over 3,000 troops, 22,000 injured and over $500 Billion so far. Bush should be impeached for so flagrantly abusing our military and causing the death and injury of our troops for NO VALID REASON!

My opinion has been confirmed by events on the ground. The ease with which we defeated Saddam and the fact there was no WMD!


Your opinion does not match the facts. Prior to the continuation of the Gulf war Saddam said he had WMD and broke his agreement to allow the UN to destroy those weapons. Where did those weapons that Saddam said he had go? Or is your contention that the UN, France, Germany, Russia, Iraq, Spain, all lie about what they knew Iraq had in order to allow Mr. Bush to go to war? You see if Mr. Bush lied to go to war then Iraq had to lie about what WMD the nation had.

The fact that 140,000 American troops could destroy Saddam's military in two months PROVES that he was NO threat to this country.


I understand your desire to remain ignorant of the truth but keep in mind that a threat is any word or action that causes one to fear. Saddam threatened to give or sell WMD in his stockpile to AQ and other terrorist groups. It does not mean that he has a hope in hell of winning a battle in order to be a threat. I could threaten to punch you in the nose but I don't know where you live. It is not a big threat but should I see you and you know what I look like you would feel the threat more strongly. His threats were laughed at until 9/11 we could see how he could carry out the threat without doing more than handing over a truck load of toys. Are you suggesting that he did not have the ability to send a truck load of WMD to some place? If you believe this then where did the WMD he said he had go? I guess he had the ability to transport them. It also looks like he carried out the threat since we can't find what he said he had.

We went AGINST the UN and were NEVER the enforcement agent for the UN. The UN resolutions have NOTHING to do with Saddam being a danger to the U.S.

Saddam could not sell what he did not have! North Korea is a far more likely agent to sell WMD then Iraq. We attacked a country that was NO danger to America and have KILLED 3,000 Americans and injured 22,000 for NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The UN resolutions have NOTHING to do with Saddam being a danger to the U.S."


I eagerly await your article condemning the celebrity cause of trying to get the US to intervene in the Darfur situation. Obviously Darfur isn't a threat to the US. Or is that off limits because it is a quasi-Liberal cause?

As I told you before, Saddams WMD's were never accounted for.  The question is what did he do with his WMD's, because he had them before.

What is the point of having the U.N. if the resolutions it passes are not enforced?  Who is going to enforce the U.N. resolutions?  I would say U.N. peacekeepers but they are far too busy raping women to be bothered with something like that.
