  1. So what you want is indeed a timetable--right? I don't thing General Casey would agree with your military planning....
  2. Why? Did you think the Republicans were "better" than the Democrats?
  3. According to the Washington Post, the President is enjoying something of a come-back in the polls. If I were going to impeach him, I would try to get that done and the trial completed before the first of the year...... "A clear majority, 56 percent, said they approve of the way Bush is handling the fight against terrorism -- " http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/19/AR2005121900924.html
  4. Speaking of bullshit meters, don't you think that FAIRs critique of FoxNews qualfies as a meter tripper? After all, all they did was count the political affiliations and the left/right leanings of the guests to conclude that Fox was biased to the right, (which I happen to agree that they are) but with no labor being spent to examine the treatment that these guests got from their interviewers. Are we to believe that at a time when both houses of congress and the WH are in the hands of the Republicans, a news channel wouldn't necessarily be a little more interested in interviewing Republicans than Democrats? It isn't the guests that reveal the bias - it is the treatment of those guests that reveal the bias and as far as I can tell FAIR says nothing about that.
  5. According to this study, Fox is centrist...... http://www.foxnews.com/video2/player05.html?121905/views_hume_121905&Special_Report_Grapevine&Brit%20Hume%27s%20Grapevine&acc&Opinion&-1&new If this link doesn't work for you, this is what was reported: Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine: The majority of mainstream media tilts to the left... that according to a revised study by UCLA, set for publication next week. Among the findings: The Wall Street Journal, despite its conservative opinion pages, is the most liberal outlet, followed by CBS' Evening News, The New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times. In fact, of the 20 major media outlets studied, 18 of them scored left-of-center. Programs ranked among the most centrist news shows include The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and ABC's Good Morning America. The study examines U.S. media coverage over the last 10 years, comparing individual news outlets with individual lawmakers. Lawmakers were scored on the basis of votes and speeches, while media organizations were scored on their references to think tanks and policy groups. I see that the printed version does not report Fox as being centrist as the video does. I guess it is a case of modesty.
  6. Maybe because he thinks it will make him seem to be committed to what he thinks is best for America come Hell or high water?
  7. I have noticed that President Bush has made quite a few speeches lately about how things are going here, economically, and in Iraq, which is good, but often he will say something to the effect of "not as long as I am president." It is almost as if he is throwing the gauntlet down before the Democrats. Is it just me, or is he challenging the Democrats to write up articles of impeachment?
