That doesn't mean they are. What about getting Clinton's budget surplus back from the ungodly wealthy? What about all the money Halliburton and other contractors in Iraq filched from the American taxpayer? What will you do to stop corporations from bribing politicians, when this government is presumably of the people, for the people and by the people? Will you seek punishment for Bush, Cheney, Rove and Gonzales for stealing from the poor and middle class and giving to the rich? How about for putting America on course to becoming a second rate power? Would you strive to have every politician and corporate executive who stole from the American people serve time in the slammer in line with what Ms. Butts is up against for stealing toilet paper from a courthouse, considering all these abovementioned entities together have stolen enough money from us to keep the world in high-quality toilet paper until the Statue of Liberty is crotch deep in glacier melt? Do you want us to read your lips? Would you be willing to take a lie detector test? Don't you agree that most Republican politicians are liars and crooks? Do you think our attempt to get rid of Gonzo is a fishing expedition, or do you, like myself, consider Rove's term "fishing expedition" a bumper sticker slogan calculated to take our eyes off the ball? What will you do to entities like FOX news and Rush Limbaugh for brainwashing the people of this nation who reside on the lower end of the IQ scale so that the rich pigs of America will have a voter base for politicians who will be their puppets? How would you go for making it a crime for media outlets posing as news organizations to knowingly peddle propaganda to America's slow learning and mentally retarded, AKA working class Republicans? How about desisting from using the nation's public schools as propaganda factories? Is that what you mean by providing Americas children with a quality education? I have many other questions, but I have no intention of making this a novella-length quest for information. If you can provide satisfactory answers to what I have asked, I would vote for you, assuming you switch to the Democratic party. And assuming, of course, you are not lying.</description></item><item><title>Giuliani's Twelve Commitments</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/12/223182.aspx#223314</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jun 2007 15:10:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:223314</guid><dc:creator>jerry/corpus christi texas</dc:creator><description>typical liberal responses.

I just found this on her campaign site:

Hillary’s Twelve Commitments:
 
-I will offend hard-working middle-class Americans every opportunity I get. 
-I will end the right of my opposition to speak, outlaw Christianity, open our borders to Chinese intelligence officers (in exchange for campaign contributions), and identify and track every citizen in our nation. 
-I will trash fiscal discipline and waste Washington’s money. (You really think it’s the taxpayers’ money?  Get real.). 
-I will pay no taxes and will reform the tax code so that the imbeciles in the middle-class struggle to fund the left-wing elites and the poor. 
-I will impose accountability on Bill. 
-I will lead America towards energy dependence. 
-I will give Americans no control over healthcare and force them to flee to Canada and Mexico to see a doctor. 
-I will increase abortions and and force all children to report on their parents thoughts and actions.
-I will reform the legal system by firing all conservative judges and then insist that the remainder legislate from the bench. 
-I will ensure that every community in America is prepared to forgive terrorists for being misunderstood. 
-I will escort every child to a quality indoctrination center, and establish a revolutionary guard to shut down rogue schools that do not comply with the program. 
-I will expand American ignorance of the global economy and make us the laughing stock of the world.

I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who posted the following: Hillary as multilingual??? Perhaps she derives this spin from the fact that she is a two-faced, forked-tongue transmorph and not really multi-linguistically proficient. - Linguistics Semiotics Prof (Sent Saturday, April 28, 2007 9:27 AM) In another post, he called himself City Limit, Denver, on the same thread. A week or so later, he called himself Rocky Montane form Pueblo, Co. , a name that sounds like something he stole out of a soap opera. I exposed him as a phony by pointing out that the word  "Transmorph" was from a children's sci-fi book. I googled it and came up with Harry Potter, which wouldn't be normal reading for a linguistics prof. Since then, he has been stalking me, and waits for me to post something that rattles his cage. Then he will come right behind me, like on this thread, and try to trash what I just said. Most people on this blog can see that he is a moron, but he thinks if he changes his name each time, he will be able to fool someone into thinking he's smarter than he is. What he can't change each time is the fact of being a moron. Hyannisport? Do they allow morons in Hyannisport?

Of course Ted is an idiot.  Which begs the question, why care? The far right nut jobs on in this community never contribute past spouting made up telemarketing scams, harping on minor Democratic election convictions from two years ago, or somehow thinking that Elian Gonzales is relevent 7 years after the fact (that one really made me chuckle).  They are small, petty, ignorant, children who are throwing a fit because they know that in 18 months their party is going to loose control of all levels of government and that they aren't likely to recover from for decades.  Make fun of them if you want.  Try to reason with them if you're feeling optomistic.

The empty rhetoric is amazing. First of all, I agree with what John Doe said about "far right nut jobs" but want to point out that it applies equally to "far left nut jobs" as well (of which there are just as many). The Right has no lock on idiocy, thank you very much. JIrby, your continual disparaging comments about "working class Republicans" are repugnant and do nothing to advance the causes you so loudly claim to espouse. Perhaps "working class Republicans" have reservations about voting for Democrats because of the rabid rhetoric of quasi-communist leftists that seems so often to jerk the Party of the track of logic and common sense. The way to impress upon others the error of their ways is not to ridicule them but rather to hold up examples of why your way is better, REASONABLE examples like Mark Warner, Evan Bayh, etc. Instead of vilifying middle class Americans of any political stripe, perhaps you should turn your verbal ministrations against radicals from both sides of the aisle. Common ground is found in the middle, not on the fringes. (And no, just for the record, I'm not Ted in Hyannisport, in case anyone is wondering!) P.S. Well said, Bruce in OR, you're spot on.</description></item><item><title>Giuliani's Twelve Commitments</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/12/223182.aspx#223970</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jun 2007 21:49:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:223970</guid><dc:creator>JIrby, Colorado</dc:creator><description>Zippi and Ted, Hyannisport are the same moron.</description></item><item><title>Giuliani's Twelve Commitments</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/12/223182.aspx#224317</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jun 2007 05:38:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:224317</guid><dc:creator>John, St. Louis, Missouri</dc:creator><description>Thank you Gerry from Alaska. &amp;nbsp;It must be hard for people like JIrby who know everything to have to live in a country with morons like me. &amp;nbsp;Maybe he should move to Iran which is much more united in behind its theoretical and religious principles of dominating the region. &amp;nbsp;I could just as easily (and with as little truth) assert he is brainwashed by liberal professors or mainstream media, and maybe he is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is the best thing I've seen from any candidate, and personally, I'm willing to give Giuliani a chance. &amp;nbsp;We haven't had a chief executive do anything but whine for several years. &amp;nbsp;Politicians have a responsibility to present a program of what they want to accomplish, even if some super-intelligent critics can deride and mock that. &amp;nbsp;So sit back and laugh you geniuses, but you got to give credit to someone for trying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obviously, I am just a brain-washed moron though, maybe you can find some dick sociologist or psychologist to prove it too. &amp;nbsp;So I would appreciate it if you kept on with the morbid, America sucks commentary, because you are a guiding light for the conscience. &amp;nbsp;Maybe you'll solve our problems and leads us to world peace. &amp;nbsp;Frankly you should take my money and remove my right to speak, and you should kill fetuses. &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately, my parents didn't take that step with me and there are right-wing morons like me. &amp;nbsp;Thanks for enlightening us.</description></item><item><title>Giuliani's Twelve Commitments</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/12/223182.aspx#224403</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:04:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:224403</guid><dc:creator>Henry Crepea, River Vale, NJ</dc:creator><description>This is the type of vision we are looking for.

That sounds Orwellian, but it's not just language. It's real. The increased national debt is monetized many fold, resulting in inflation that decimates the poor. &amp;nbsp;Tax cuts when the budget is unbalanced is cruel.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BTW, there was no budget surplus during the Clinton years. &amp;nbsp;They simply changed the accounting method. &amp;nbsp;Oh, and they've changed the way inflation is calculated too. &amp;nbsp;By the old measure, we're running at about 12%. &amp;nbsp;You have noticed things are getting a lot more expensive, haven't you?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There's a blow-up coming that will make 1979-80 look mild. &amp;nbsp;The only way to avoid it is drastic reductions in spending - cutting whole departments. &amp;nbsp;I do not like our chances.</description></item><item><title>Giuliani's Twelve Commitments</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/12/223182.aspx#313937</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Aug 2007 17:18:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:313937</guid><dc:creator>JPC Albuquerque NM</dc:creator><description>Guliani is a memeber of the same satanic cult that ol Georgie boy is (our so called President) &lt;br&gt;Elect Guliani and we will get another man who is serving satan and that my friends, is not in the best interest of this country.

What is happening to this world? People should be hopeing for the best and the will to have the best rather then sticking with the average and not working hard to have the best for themselves...giving up seems to be easier...Go ahead be lazy and vindictive it won't get you anywhere....&lt;br&gt;P.S.
