re: Shut NYC Down

Thanks then, Bobby.

Robbie, in the end though... the catalyst might or might not have been faulty... but the gathering storm of genocide and outward threats, along with a disregard for the outside world... that's fact.

Ah well... how does it go? One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Opinions will differ. I like you all very much though. Even if you don't show up for work in September.

EDIT for Zola: So he doesn't go to "her" vacation homes? He doesn't ski, and yacht, and vacation? Of course he does. We all do. Vacationing isn't a sin... for the president, for a senator, for a model, even for a former UPS employee.

re: Shut NYC Down

Right. But Bush spends something like 35% of his time vacationing. And his workday is damn short. I realize it's a high-stress job, and that we can't expect everyone to be a Clinton-esque workaholic, but still. Our country's got some serious problems, many of which he caused.

So, on second thought, maybe it's for the best if he spends all that time "ranching." Who knows, if he stayed in Washington maybe we'd be in three wars instead of just two.

re: shut nyc down

i think that the most appalling part is that when they return, the same people who sent them needlessly in to harms way have cut their benefits and access to medical care.

in the first 3 years of the bush administration, the va's overall budget has grown by 27%. with approval of the 2005 budget the va's overall funding will have grown 37.6% over the 4 years of gw's administration.

what's really at issue here is once again the dreaded "means test." the va is reticent force vets of means to be charged for any of their services. they want "mandatory funding" in which whatever funds deemd necessary would be immediately appropriated, hence another entitlement. the proposal is for vet who can pay (those making more than $40,000 for a single person depending on location and situation, more for families) to pay a percentage of their benefits ($15 a month for medication and a $250 yearly fee which would affect no one with a 50% disability or higher). regardless of what, who or where or why, anyone making less than $25,162 (again for a single person, families are higher) qualifies for full coverage by the va free of charge.

so it's really a lie to say that benefits have been cut. they didn't get as much as they wanted, but nothing was cut.

re: shut nyc down

I don't think that the total VA budget is the way to look at it. It's like saying the Pentagon's budget is up X% so we must be adequately equiping our soldiers in the field, when we no that soldiers' parents are holding bake sales to try to get their kids kevlar vests.

I may be wrong, but I imagine reservist benefits and current enlisted fall under defense. I recollect that the GOP budget calls for a $25 billion cut in Veteran's benefits over the next ten years and I am pretty sure that the White House has vigorously fought extending Pentagon insurance benefits to reservists/Natl Guard.

good thing the democratic nominees voted against funding those troops.

re: shut nyc down

Good thing the GOP wouldn't allow them to pay for it out of the tax breaks for the top 2%. Wouldn't want Ken Lay to have to suffer to keep the troops safe, or pay for our kid's education for that matter. That would have seen ovewhelming support from Dems, IMHO.

Robbiej... is that the version where Kerry dresses in drag with a broom up his ^&* and Edwards is a flying monkey? re: shut nyc down (sorry couldn't resist) Actually maybe Edwards is Kerry's Fiyero based on that one link someone put on the board awhile back.

re: shut nyc down

as true as that might be, robbie............

also, a 'girl' like condi would be better suited to arriving in a large deisel truck, not a dainty bubble. Of course, she might attach a bubble machine to the truck since she isn't an OUT lesbian......

re: shut nyc down

Why shouldn't tax breaks be applied equally?
If I get a 3% tax break, why shouldn't Theresa Heinz Kerry get a tax break too? I don't understand that concept of unequality.

Condi is not a lesbian.

She was a FIGURE SKATER!!!

re: shut nyc down

Well when someone's 3% is $1000 and another person's 3% is $3,000,000, something is wrong. Some people just don't need big tax breaks, but some do. No one don't get ahead by beating down those who can't denfend themselves.

re: shut nyc down

ConDYKEleeza is all lesbian.


Side not, the fact that the biggotted Dick cheney turns his back on his own daughter, a lesbian, and tells her that she is less deserving than someone else by backing a marriage amendment speaks VOLUMES about that man's lack of character and integrity.

Some women are lesbians. Some women are white. Some women are from trailer parks. Not all white women in trailer parks are lesbians...(a little math lesson from a white lesbian not from a trailer park).

re: shut nyc down

tonya, a dyke? did you see the video? i did. that was some acting job she was doing, obviously.

bg2, who cares if condi is? not that i agree that she is, but, it really isn't anyone's business but hers is it? or should there be wholesale witchhunts to out every member of government? or do you just like the idea that only a dyke could be as awful a human being as you consider her to be.
