On John McCain and intellectual rights….. His campaign has bought a royalty board license just like any other bar or commercial establishment would. If the music perfomers are complaining, maybe they should revamp their contract with the royalty board. After all this is the same royalty board that is trying to shut down internet radio by charging them right out of profitability. I know! The artists can try marketing their music themselves, that way they can keep control! So really its their call. Do they want control, or the millions they make every year?

John McCain and John Edwards have only their first names in common, in more ways than one. McCain has never conducted a secret, hide in a hotel bathroom-hey security get me outta here passion play regarding his marital infidelity of 30 YEARS ago. Anyone who’s still hanging on to the “McCain’s an adulterer, so there!” deal is desperate. But what liberal isn’t?

On Friday, George W. Bush weighed in on the fighting in Georgia, saying that “Russia has damaged its credibility and its relations with the nations of the free world. Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century.” (video here) Which — if you look at things from the point of view of, say, half the Middle East — must sound pretty ironic if not downright two-faced.W

WOW!! You really can’t be that dumb.There were 17 U.N resolutions Saddam broke.The first gulf war was a cease fire aggrement that was broken.But the big one was that congress voted on it so you need to call them all hyps.Facts matter,Facts matter,Facts matter.

So looks like you are a big time hypo too now isn’t that right?Come on ,give me your pretzel logic.

>>>Bush claims to be Christian, and if Christ could forgive the thief next to which he was crucified, why couldn’t Bush commute a death sentence to a life sentence?<<<

For what it’s worth, Christ did forgive the thief, but that didn’t relieve or release the thief from serving his sentence. The thief’s own words were “…for we (the two thieves) receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man (Jesus) has done nothing wrong.” (Luke 23:41)

Did you just compare the free and democratic Georgians to the murderous terorist filth in the Gulf? Perverted, child-killing, woman-beating, death-worshipping muslims who destroy everything they touch, who explode bombs on busses, in hospitals and schools, on public trains and roads, these scum are the same as peaceful, non-aggressive Georgians who had the audacity to want a democratic republic rather than suffer under the perpetual failure of a corrupt communist empire?

Wow. I’ve never seen ignorance on this scale before. If I were a Georgian, I would punch you in the mouth.

“Bad intelligence”? Try “cherry-picked because it suited our purposes.” The person supplying that information had essentially been discredited, but Cheney wanted his war, and he got it, regardless of how tenuous the excuse.
“Why is everyone blaming Bush?” Because he’s in charge, and he’s made a hash of things. We’re not ready to pull out of Iraq, we’re not even close to convincing the government there to stand on its own two feet so that we could begin to be ready to leave … and on the home front, the governmental deregulation of lending practices has led to the home-mortgage crisis. He’s not solely responsible for these things, but he’s not entirely blameless either and they happened on his watch.
As for children being innocent and criminals not, not everyone convicted of the death penalty is necessarily guilty – exoneration of convicts does occur, usually via DNA and by the work of groups like the Innocence Project. I, personally, would prefer that the guilty be imprisoned for all of the rest of their natural life, across the board, and if the innocent are kept with them, then at least the blood of the innocent isn’t on society’s hands, however few of the innocent there are, because they’re still innocent. Bush claims to be Christian, and if Christ could forgive the thief next to which he was crucified, why couldn’t Bush commute a death sentence to a life sentence?
I’m not going to disagree with you about fetal rights, because I don’t disagree. I just feel that all life has sanctity, and none of us have the right to take it from anyone – including in capital punishment circumstances (see previous paragraph).

In closing, I’ve read other of your posts on here, Scott F., and you write well and I enjoy reading them even when I don’t agree. I particularly note the fact that while you refer to me as “people like you” you refrain from personal insults and attacks, and that sets you apart from a large majority who post on the net. It’s appreciated.

“They just flat out lie about things like yellowcake uranium, WMDs, the outing of CIA operatives whose spouses disagree with them, and other felonious acts.”

Why can’t people like you nail down the difference between a ‘flat out lie’ and bad intelligence? If you believe what you’re saying is true, and have a mountain of evidence from all kinds of different nation’s national security agencies that all points to one thing – it’s not really lying. We were wrong, or they hid them, or they moved them – it doesn’t really matter at this point. But the real question is, why is everyone blaming Bush?

Let me get this straight; Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction, right? And here he is, with America telling him that if he doesn’t let us back into the country to confirm that, we’re going to invade. You really want me to believe that, knowing he didn’t have any weapons, he still refused to let inspectors into the country? How unbelievably retarded a decision is that? He knew after ‘91 that he wouldn’t last 10 minutes in a war against us, but he still wouldn’t let the inspectors in. Not exactly the behavior of an innocent man now is it? Bottom line is, if you wanna blame someone, blame Saddam. It was his game of political brinkmanship that backfired on him and started this war.

“Support the death penalty (more people were put to death under Bush in Texas than any other governor) and still claim that they support the “culture of life” because they are against abortion.”

BS. I am so tired of this argument, because there is nothing about being pro death penalty that makes being pro life a hypocritical stance. A criminal who is being put to death gave up his right to life when he harmed another human being. An aborted child’s only ‘crime’ is being unwanted. That child didn’t violate the laws of our country, and thus there is far more ‘reason’ to kill a criminal than a fetus. But God forbid we punish criminals and let children live when we can coddle the criminals and kill the children.

@Craig: “he is taking refuge in charged semantics”
But the right never does that. Riiiiiiight. They just flat out lie about things like yellowcake uranium, WMDs, the outing of CIA operatives whose spouses disagree with them, and other felonious acts. They do things that cause thousands of innocent civilians to be killed, along with members of our volunteer military (and then lie when they die in friendly fire), support the death penalty (more people were put to death under Bush in Texas than any other governor) and still claim that they support the “culture of life” because they are against abortion. They don’t support governmental help for that child if it’s born into a situation of poverty – once that kid is alive, they’re on their own. Statistically, children born into poverty are more likely to commit crime and end up in prison, or choose the military as a way out of poverty, so either way, they’ve got a better than average chance of dying as an adult, thanks to the policies of the GOP. “Culture of life”, my @$$!

Bush toppled two totalitarian governments who were bullying their own people…

*Not* my post despite similar name. No W fan here, certainly not a defender of him.
