I swear, I'll do this more often.

Our country is a Militaristic Facist State, controlled by the corporate interests and the "Investment Class" Most Thinking people have known this for a long time, the internet is just making the information available to the masses. I'm sure the plan for internet censorship is well underway, you can't give the public this type of info, they might over-react. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/29/206747.aspx#206801Tue, 29 May 2007 20:23:09 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:206801Scott in South TexasKarl Rove, Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay - is this some kind of republican holy trinity?

The party cannot find a way to ditch them and therefore is always wallowing in their mess. Gingrich cannot overcome his inability to decide about running for the presidency. He keeps giving policy analyses and what needs to be done and yet chooses to sit on the fence. How incredible that is! If their party still looks up to them for vision and salvation, then it is as doomed as it was in the mid-term elections!http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/29/206747.aspx#206858Tue, 29 May 2007 20:59:00 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:206858GOD, State of EternityThis is GOD and you are commanded to chill, or the wrath of all dark matter will be visited upon your sorry asses.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/29/206747.aspx#206868Tue, 29 May 2007 21:03:00 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:206868Steve Turner Cedar Falls IowaObviously, Rove is not familiar with the Bene Gesserit Orange Catholic Commandment, "Thou shalt not make a Machine in the image of a Man's Mind." -Dune, Book 1http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/29/206747.aspx#206869Tue, 29 May 2007 21:03:17 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:206869Dorothy"If you talk to God, you're praying, If God talks back, you're psychotic."--Jokehttp://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/29/206747.aspx#206870Tue, 29 May 2007 21:03:43 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:206870j flLiars, cheats and thugs, all in the name of God!

The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this Publican. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.' But the Publican, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other."

Just as there are three competing voices in this article, so too is the leadership of the GOP right now. I have as much faith in Karl Rove's optimism as I do in winning the lottery (and I don't buy tickets, which means none). Karl thought we'd retain the majority in 06. Tom Delay as the new pass through of the voice of God? Has he lost it? Is he laying the case for a mental insanity defense to whatever crime he is finally convicted of? One name, two words - Jack Abramoff. I hope the main street media doesn't let Delay get away with comments like that, it's a disgrace to us real Christians. And Newt. Ah Newt. Newt's like that cousin that calls them like he sees them but no one listens too because you all think that cousin is a little different... Funny thing though, Newt's on point most of the time. He's the most brilliant idea generator there is on the modern political front. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/29/206747.aspx#207467Wed, 30 May 2007 12:26:03 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:207467Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VAGingrich calling Bush the Carter of the GOP... priceless.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/29/206747.aspx#207499Wed, 30 May 2007 13:05:32 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:207499Jane DoeI sure hope that DA Ronnie Earl can get a conviction on Tom Delay and maybe then he can just SHUT UP!http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/29/206747.aspx#207507Wed, 30 May 2007 13:09:11 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:207507Jane DoeLest we not forget that in the 2000 election Tom Delay sent goons and thugs to stop the legal recount of votes, he is such a hypocrite.

And what is this crap about a "military, facist state"???? Unless I've been missing something, I have not seen goose stepping police officers going down the street with torches ablazing and some ungodly symbol on a flag. I think Newt better get his priorities straight. Of course he doesn't stand a chance in heck of winning. I think it is such a hoot to compare Bush to being a Nazi, shows that the drugs coming into this country are getting more and more potent. And jane Doe, unless you have video and pictures to back up your claim of people getting beat up in Florida, I have a hard time, as well as any sensible american, believing that this actually happened.

Bush himself is less religious than Jimmy Carter was. Its just that Carter respected the separation of church and state.
