So, Schumer and Feinstein will vote for Bush's nominee for AG. Go figure.
Posted by Judith at November 3, 2007 04:20 AMI just remembered a quote by Rumsfeld:
"An unemployed population is easy to recruit to radicalism."
The Bush administration manipulating numbers. of course they did.
Posted by goose1 at November 3, 2007 05:42 AMThe real question is when haven't they "cherry picked data"?
Posted by Judith at November 3, 2007 06:18 AMYou nailed it, Mary. Cherry pickin' fer sure.
Posted by Jeff Dinelli at November 3, 2007 07:21 AMThe same people that provided numbers in the 90's are cherry picking now. No way Jose, that bird don't fly.
Schumer wanted Mukasey nominated to SCOTUS as a consensus candidate instead of Alito, how could he abandon him for such a temp job. Nice for DiFi to sit in as a co-pilot. Assures Mukasey getting to the floor and approval. I've read he'll get 70 votes there. 70% sure trumps anything else out there being considered by this Congress.
Posted by peter at November 3, 2007 07:54 AMHere's a funny, you people were saying that the economy has been bad ALL the time Bush has been our president. Roubini seems to be contradicting you fine people's stance in the 2004 through 2006 periods. The conflict between the Household Survey and the Establishment Survey is an old arguement resurfacing. Sure, I pointed to the Household Survey in those periods, you people wouldn't have it, so I accepted the results you fine people seem to hold dear. Now you seem to want to reverse history and claim "cherry picking". What a crock!

Posted by Goyo at November 3, 2007 11:52 AMwhat a sick country we have become when torture is now mainsteam and an attorney general nominee supports a president's contention that he has monarchal powers
poor pants-pissing peter, if things are going so well in Dear Leader's America then why do the owerwhelming majority of people think the country is on the WRONG track?
Posted by gay veteran at November 3, 2007 12:17 PMNumber one, he didn't state anything of the kind. Neither has our president. Second, get Congress to come up with a law on waterboarding and torture. The Geneva Convention is not a legal authority in America even thought we're signatories to it, the Constitution is so get that done. Last time it was attempted, it failed.
To your contention of our country going in the wrong direction, that now includes our Democratic controlled Congress. What did Jay Leno, a Democrat, say this week, Congress finally figured out they can do nothing in only four days so why be there a fifth. There goes another promise from princess sparkle Pelosi in less than a year.
Posted by peter at November 3, 2007 01:17 PMTell me something Peter. What has your pResident done for this Country during the past seven years that benefited the common man? Your so quick to point your finger at Congress, but what about your hero?
Posted by Judith at November 3, 2007 03:22 PMsorry pants-pissing peter, but Americans thought the country was on the wrong track long BEFORE the Dems won in 2006. The fact that the Dems have done NOTHING to stand up to the tyrannt is why the approval rating of Congress is so low.
btw, ratified treaties are the law of the land. Of course we know what that means to Dear Leader.....NOTHING
Posted by gay veteran at November 3, 2007 03:51 PMA government that tortures is a government that can do ANYTHING.
Posted by gay veteran at November 3, 2007 03:53 PMIt just came to my attention that Gen. Paul Tibbets died on Novenber 1st.
How was it that you Lefties missed (such an) opportunity to denigrate a hero.
P.S. The sound you hear is a dozen Leftists Google-ing Paul Tibbets.

No bagless, that is left for bu$h, who does it daily to the injured Veterans returning from Iraq. What a legacy to leave, heh? Or better yet what a legacy to support?
Trivia huh? So he dropped the bomb on Hiroshima and slept well at night. We were fighting a different enemy then and in a real war.
Let's see Judith, we were attacked and then we weren't attacked for many years now. Wonder how quick a president H.Clinton would be to replicate President Bush's responses. Out of all the Democrats running this year, she very well may be able to take this presidents moves one further and join Truman in history.
And I'll be smiling with the knowledge that you and several of the fine people here voted for her. It's the Democrats thing to do.
Posted by peter at November 3, 2007 09:03 PM"How was it that you Lefties missed (such an) opportunity to denigrate a hero."
because that's the job of right-wing trolls who love to attack "phony" soldiers
pants-pissing peter, did you go down to your local Army recruitment center?
no?
then STFU
What's your guess?
The numbers will be revised downward when no one's looking.
