I have no idea but I will be sure to ask the next time I see him. Any more stupid questions?

You portrayed it as something that served no value and was put in place to make people in the Bush Administration money. If that was really true and not just an anti-Bush hack job wouldnt the next President (Obama) get rid of it in his first year and not endorse and expand it?

I do not speak for the President of the United States. He may see things different than I do. Does that mean I am not allowed my own opinion? Things are not the same on this side, we tend to be independent thinkers. We do not repeat what we are instructed to by a "Rush" type like you are.

Nick, the thinking is that since you have liberal opinions then you must agree with everything Obama does. In swamp's world, there are only two sides to every story.

In this case, I think Swamp does have a point, at least in general. There are a number of programs that President Obama has continued or expanded that, if had been done so by a Repub successor to Bush there would have been much screaming from those on "the ". But since they are being carried out by a Dem Administration there is not much being said about it (i.e. anti-war movement for the boost in Afghanistan?)

Just as there is much screaming (at times for no real reason) from those on "the right" about anything Obama does.

The coming Supreme Court nominations should go something like this (as I read in the Daily Beast today):

Obama will make a nomination; the Repubs will fall in line and excoriate whoever it is as if they are covered in warts; and the Dems will fall in line and defend the nominee to the hilt as if they were pure as the driven snow, with no warts whatsoever.

There are a few people on the who do criticize Obama for his lack of action/entrenchment of existing War on Terror policy (Glenn Greenwald's probably the best-known example). But otherwise, yeah. Party before country, on both sides.

I do believe the republicans will fall in line and say the nominee is covered in warts. I do not believe the dems will fall in line. It will take bribes, political threats from the White House and more executive orders that mean nothing for the dems to fall in line.

Exactly what I see in this forum and the pit, liberals can only argue a point so long before they result to name calling and general slander.

When was the last time you argued a point here or in the pit? All you and swamp and your tribe say boils down to my opinion is wrong and I have no right to have it!

Liberal doesn't mean "anyone who disagrees with you", idiot.

Plus, I call you stupid because you've conclusively proven you're stupid, not because you're conservative.

Actually you call me stupid because I disagree with you. You have never in any way shape or form proven me stupid. And the fact that the only response you have to me is a screaming fit proves that I have destroyed any belief structure you have had. I have turned you from a respected wing supporter to a ranting lunatic.

You prove yourself stupid, stupid. No one can do it for you.

Actually not only are my views inteligent, but they are insightful.

That is what you lack. Nothing about anything you say is special. It is just ist talking points. You have a general inteligence, but no wisdom or direction. You are an Iphone App.
